Random Image Plugin — 1000 Downloads!

September 25th, 2007 · 3 Comments

Exactly 2 months ago, I released my Random Image Selector plugin for wordpress.  Every now and again I take a look and see how many people are downloading the random image plugin.

On average, in the exactly 2 months since it’s release about 15 people are downloading the plugin.  And on September 22nd, it hit the 1000 download mark!

Thank you to all who have provided feedback on the plugin, and suggestions for the next version.  I am working on it now and expect to have something released by mid-October once all the Wordpress 2.3 testing is completed.

Thanks again, and happy downloading!

      @Jose - Unless your forum is a wordpress forum, this plugin won’t work. You can download it and hack out the code for the plugin (providing you keep reference to the original of course :mrgreen: ) but otherwise I’m not sure what to suggest…

      Keith - love the plugin, and use it in my blog. I’ve made an improvement to it. Have the plugin displaying random thumbnails from my photogallery (non-WordPress). I wanted to be able to click on the image (stored in a thumbnail folder) and have it open a full-sized version of the image, which was stored in another folder (images). I was able to insert a link that opens - via Lightbox - the full-sized image. See it in action at http://dkaye.com/coldcoffee (look in the upper left-hand corner).

      Here’s the extra code I used (hopefully this displays properly in this comment, if not email me and I’ll give it to you.):

      echo '‘;

      In this example, I stripped the characters from the thumb and redirected it to the images folder instead, and applied image class attributes to make it “pretty.”

      Thanks,
      dKaye
