How to show Random photos on your home page "Profile Photos" Block instead of latest.
This is for Dolphin 6.1x
The fastest and easiest ways to accomplish this would be simply editing the BxDolSharedMedia.php
It's probably a good idea to backup the file before making changes just in case.
Then find and Open:
/templates/base/scripts/BxBaseIndex.php
find this function:
function getBlockCode_ProfilePhotos() {
global $site;
global $tmpl;
// number of photos
$max_num = (int)getParam("top_photos_max_num");
$sqlSelect = "
SELECT
`media`.`med_id`,
`med_prof_id`,
`med_file`,
`med_title`";
$sqlFrom = "
FROM `media`
INNER JOIN `Profiles` ON
( `Profiles`.`ID` = `media`.`med_prof_id` )";
$sqlWhere = "
WHERE
`med_type` = 'photo' AND
`med_status` = 'active' AND
`Profiles`.`Status` = 'Active'";
if ( $_GET['Mode_p'] == 'rand' or
$_GET['Mode_p'] == 'last' or
$_GET['Mode_p'] == 'top' )
$mode = $_GET['Mode_p'];
else
$mode = 'last';
Change to:
function getBlockCode_ProfilePhotos() {
global $site;
global $tmpl;
// number of photos
$max_num = (int)getParam("top_photos_max_num");
$sqlSelect = "
SELECT
`media`.`med_id`,
`med_prof_id`,
`med_file`,
`med_title`";
$sqlFrom = "
FROM `media`
INNER JOIN `Profiles` ON
( `Profiles`.`ID` = `media`.`med_prof_id` )";
$sqlWhere = "
WHERE
`med_type` = 'photo' AND
`med_status` = 'active' AND
`Profiles`.`Status` = 'Active'";
if ( $_GET['Mode_p'] == 'rand' or
$_GET['Mode_p'] == 'last' or
$_GET['Mode_p'] == 'top' )
$mode = $_GET['Mode_p'];
else
$mode = 'rand';
Save changes/re-upload.
Refresh your home page to see the changes.
This is more apparent when a there are a large number of "Profile Photo's" uploaded.
Remember this is only for the "Profile Photos" Block on your home page.
