[!MaxiGallerySolo? &galIDs=`5,6,7,8,9` &pics_to_show=`1` &type=`random` &open=`gallery_overview`!]

I have the call above. Is it possible to only show random wide (landscape) thumbnails?
The portrait thumbnails seems to break the flow.

Or, how about a placeholder for thumbnail height or width? Then I can use PHX for a conditional based on the thumbnail size?

If you just want to change your HTML based on the thumbnail size (so portraits appear in a more appropriate layout), then you can do that by editing the MaxiGallerySolo snippet. Just get the random image you want to show and use getimagesize (http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.getimagesize.php) to figure out if it’s portrait (height>width), landscape, or square. Then change the output to whatever is appropriate for that type of image.

Use MaxiGallery 0.5, it has MaxiGallerySolo features and placeholders for picture heights/widths.

I put this directly on the page with my call above, but it doesn’t render.

[+maxigallery.picture_height_thumb+]
[+maxigallery.picture_width_thumb+]

[!MaxiGallerySolo? &galIDs=`5,6,7,8,9` &pics_to_show=`1` &type=`random` &open=`gallery_overview`!]

Oh wait! I realized that I still have maxigallery solo!
How can I do the above call with just MaxiGallery 0.5?

You use the placeholders in maxigallery templates

Has anyone seen this error? I’m basically trying to show a random thumbnail, when clicked I want it to go to the gallery.

Received the following Error

« MODx Parse Error »

With this call:

I was trying to replace this call:

[!MaxiGallerySolo? &galIDs=`5` &pics_to_show=`1` &type=`random` &open=`gallery_overview`!]

I could not reproduce this error, do you have more information? What kind of site tree etc..

I made some changes to the random order thing, so if you are still having problems, try the SVN code. Seems to work fine at least for me.
