Pekka,
For a couple of days I have been trying to create a way, that I could show some random microthumbs of exhibitions, just like in index page, elsewhere on my website. Since I'm going to keep EE pages only as a Gallery part of my website.
I have duplicated/renamed/modified index.php, and from indexstyles/ 1.php and buildinblocks.php. Gradually deleting stuff that I assume aren't needed. And have succeeded in having something that should work for me. I guess that could be done with a lot more stylish way, so don't laugh...
The ONLY thing that I cannot figure out is, how I could determine just one exhibition where to take the microthumbs. Now it shows all public ones just like the main index page. So I would like to show random thumnails of one exhibition on one page and random exhibitions of another exhibition on another page. So please could you give a hint. I've studied the basics of php/mysql, but get nowhere.
I don't know if I'm the only person wanting something like this. Of course I could use any randomize script, but with EE it's great to have the links from the images to EE pages.
If you think this would be something to consider adding to EE in the future, then it would also be nice be able to choose how many microthumbs you want to show, now that comes with the frontpage settings, but I can live with that. And maybe also to be able to choose from random/newest/most popular...what do you think?
