Random Photo Module for Gallery

It took a while to get the Gallery random photo block to work properly with PhpNuke. Most of the solutions are in the Gallery forums… if you look carefully. Heres how I did it… The first error (and also the most commonly asked question on the forum) has to do with the rand() function. The [...]

New Site Design

Photo Albums
