Get Random images horizontal

i need an answer for this too...

Hi folks,

I wanted the same thing... here is my way for it :)

Go to photos.module and search 'function _photos_block_image'. In here I changed

  if($image[0]['fid']){
    $content = theme('photos_block', $image, 'image');
                if($url && count($image) >= $limit){
                        $content .=theme('more_link', url($url), t('View more'));
                }

to

  if($image[0]['fid']){
    $content = "<div class=\"photos_block\">";
    $content .= theme('photos_block', $image, 'image');
                if($url && count($image) >= $limit){
                        $content .=theme('more_link', url($url), t('View more'));
                }
    $content .= "</div>";

Repeat the same thing at 'function _photos_block_album' for this part:

  if($i){
    $content = theme('photos_block', $album, 'album');
                if($url && $i >= $limit){
                        $content .=theme('more_link', url($url), t('View more'));
                }

This way I add a new CSS class that I can use in the photos.css. This is the new part there:

.Post .photos_block li{
  background-image: none;
  float: left;
}

Don't know if this is the best way to do it, but it works. It also removed the bullet images in front of the images.

Hope that helps - and if it is totally screwing things up, let me know how to do it better.##

Learned that I should post patches rather than code. Here we go :)

Update, combined the code-update with the CSS update.

Use css to achieve, rather than modify the code:

copy to themes/mytheme/style.css

#block-photos-3 .item-list ul li{
float: left;
/* more */
}

I could not figure out with CSS would only modify the photo-block, that is why I added this to the code.
I will check again with your suggestion. If it works - great ;)

this may seem like a stupid question, but how do you use the patch?

@Fogg

I applied the patch but don't know why its no working.. but somehow fixed by adding a new class under "ul" tag

here how i did.
edit photos.module file

search for "function theme_photos_block($images = array(), $type){"
then at the end of this function you will find
return theme('item_list', $item);
replace this with
return theme('item_list', $item,$title = NULL, $type = 'ul', $attributes =array('class'=>'grid-image'));

edit photos.css file which is inside css folder

and add this

.grid-image li{
background-image: none;
float: left;
}
