hey has anyone got a method for pulling in random images from the gallery into Vbadvanced?

Ok, there we go.

1) Download the attached random.php (I've modified the one from that mod a bit to fit with vBAdvanced).
Edit it and change:

PHP Code:

define('ROOT_PATH', './4images/'); 


To the folder of your 4images installation. Upload it to the modules/ folder in your forum's root directory (where your vBA-Module files are).

2) Create a new template called adv_portal_gallery and put the following content into it (Don't forget to change ./4images/ to your 4images path:

<tr>
	<td class="$bgclass">
		Name: $image_name<br /><br />
		<a href="./4images/details.php?image_id=$image_id" target="_blank"><img src="$thumb_src" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br />
		Comments: $image_comments
	</td>
</tr>

3) Add a the module to your vBAdvanced, choose PHP-File as the source.
Enter the following data into the fields:

• Module Title: Gallery
• Column: Left or Right, depends on where you want to have it (Don't use center!)
• File to Include: random.php
• Identifier: gallery
• Templates Used: adv_portal_gallery

You may now use the following variables in your template:
$total_images - The total number of images in your 4images gallery
$image_id - The ID of the random image
$cat_id - The category of the random image
$image_name - The name of the random image
$image_comments - The number of comments made for the random image
$thumb_src - The link to the random thumbnail file

See also the attached screenshot, it works fine for me
