Display random images from specific album

[Divvy]

Hello guys,

I want to create a block to my sidebar where I can display random images from specific album.

Something like that, but without CMS:

Can someone help me? :)

That exact code will work fine in the forum sidebar, make a php block with that code and simply add this line to the very end:
return $output;

Tested and working.

Thank you for the fast fix BirdOPrey5 :)

I created the block with same code and added your code to the end.
The only problem that I have is that Im not getting a random picture though, no matter how many times I refresh the page the 'random' pic stays the same.

Note: every time that I click edit and then save the block (even without make any modification), the image changes... but always stays the same.

What could be? :P

In the block settings you need to change the Cache Time (in minutes) to a smaller number, the default is 60 minutes (1 hour) so the image will change once an hour.

If you bring it down to 0 it will be random each time. Probably 1 to 5 minutes would be best.

Perfect!!! Im always learning :)
Thank you again mate!
