random display order

[a...@vakalis.edu.gr]

I don't see any evidence of this in the current download. How to I get
a random display order?

Apart from that this is a great idea.

It appears that when you download from the main site you are not
getting the latest version of phpslideshow, you are getting v.9.9.1,
but the feature regarding random images is in v.9.9.2. I have written
to the author of the script asking how to get v.9.9.2. Maybe he will
fix the download link on his page.

I hacked the code to allow for random order and continuous display:

if (($auto == "1")) {
$next=rand(1,$number_pics+1)-1;
$auto_url = "&auto=1";
$meta_refresh = "<meta http-equiv='refresh' content='".$delay;
$meta_refresh .= ";url=".$path."?directory=".$path_to_images.
$auto_url."&currentPic=".$next."'>";
$template = str_replace("<META_REFRESH>",$meta_refresh,
$template);
$auto_slideshow = "<a href='$path?directory=
$path_to_images&currentPic=$currentPic'>$lang_stop_slideshow</a>\n";
$template = str_replace("<AUTO_SLIDESHOW_LINK>",
$auto_slideshow,$template);

Confirmed this is working. For me I replaced lines 355-361 with the code listed here. Very nicely done!!!

What I replaced: if ($auto == "1") {

        $auto_url = "&auto=1";

        $meta_refresh = "<meta http-equiv='refresh' content='".$delay;

        $meta_refresh .= ";url=".$path."?directory=".$path_to_images.$auto_url."&currentPic=".$next."'>";

        $template = str_replace("<META_REFRESH>",$meta_refresh,$template);

        $auto_slideshow = "<a href='$path?directory=$path_to_images&currentPic=$currentPic'>$lang_stop_slideshow</a>\n";

        $template = str_replace("<AUTO_SLIDESHOW_LINK>",$auto_slideshow,$template);
