I’m not sure where to look for this one but I have a small issue with a website whilst using two maxigallery instances on the same page.
The main content of the website shows a users maxigallery but on the side bar there is another maxigallery call to pull a random picture from all the gallery images. The problem occurs when a users goes into the gallery Manager. Both the users gallery and the random shot picture shows the manager. Apart from looking awful I think a further issue happens when the user is managing his gallery whilst at the same time the random gallery shot is showing a picture from his gallery. That instances causes duplicates and data mismatching when the pictures are saved.
Have I missed something in the documentation to prevent this duplicate managing galleries from happening or is there a way I can stop the random shot gallery from bringing up the manager?
I think I can write a snippet that looks for the $_POST code and prevent the random shot snippet call but I’m hoping for a built in fix if possible.
Thanks all,

EDIT: As a quick fix I made this snippet to check for the Maxigallery Manager. Crude but effective:

$runSnippet = "MaxiGallery";
$params = array();
$params['gal_query_ids'] = 'all' ;
$params['order_by'] ='random';

if (!$_POST['mode'] == 'admin') {
$output .= $modx->runSnippet($runSnippet, $params);

return $output;

Change the $params as necessary to suit your maxigallery params
