going directly to the url in your readfile() call appears to work fine...
try removing the @ from in front of readfile.. the @ suppresses error messages from php.. since it isn't working you'll want to see if php can provide any helpful info.

Warning: readfile(): URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration in /usr/www/users/hodderpe/wp-content/themes/Manji2/sidebar.php on line 44
Warning: readfile(http://www.mysite.com/gallery2/main.php?g2_view=imageblock:External&g2_blocks=randomImage&g2_show=none): failed to open stream: no suitable wrapper could be found in /usr/www/users/hodderpe/wp-content/themes/Manji2/sidebar.php on line 44
????? Is this a server issue?
Thanks

yes, your php is not allowing you to use readfile() to access urls.
check php.net/manual to find how to enable this, or ask your webhost if you're using one..

Sorry my mistake... I switched hosts and this one had it disabled. while my previous did not. Everything is working now though! Thanks!

How it works: I did this for my host (Pair)
created a .htaccess file and placed it in the same directory as the file I was trying to load the image in. I added the following line to the .htaccess file:
php_flag allow_url_fopen on
Thats it! Worked for my host maybe others too.

I can't get this external link to a random image to work at all!!! I added the code to my page. I get absolutely NOTHING! Just a blank page!
I can copy another user's link and see his image, but I get nothing.
I added the <link rel="stylesheet" href="http://www.chrisibbeson.com/gallery2/main.php?g2_controller=imageblock.ExternalCSS&g2_frames=wood"/> line in the <head> section.
Here is the page:
http://www.chrisibbeson.com/U/RandomImage.php
Here is the link in the page (I copied it directly from the site admin image block page).
<?php readfile('http://www.chrisibbeson.com/gallery2/main.php?g2_view=imageblock.External&g2_blocks=randomImage&g2_show=title'); ?>
Try it yourself - copy that link into a page. You'll get NOTHING!!
What's going on? I can see other people's pictures cy copying their links, but I can't see my own!
Thanks in advance,
A very frustrated Flatfoot!

Hi Dave,
I wish I could get that to work!
Here is what I have:
An empty root album called "Your Trail Gallery" (http://www.chrisibbeson.com/gallery2/main.php). This just shows a message on the main page.
When users register, an album is created for them as a sub-item of this album.
I have "Everybody" as able to view User Albums under site admin.
I tried doing an "Edit Album" on this main empty root album. I have the imageblock as being displayed in the sidebar. But all I see is search, mount with Webdav, and RSS feed.
Why is there no random image? I must be missing something, but I can't see what.
True, there are no images in this album, but there are sub-albums with pictures.
Thanks for your help

Do the guest users have permissions to view them?

Dave-
Here are the "User Album" settings from site admin:
User Album Settings
An album will be created for each user. The user will have full permissions on the album.
Create albums : When user is created
Albums viewable by : Everybody
Full size images viewable: Yes
Location for new user albums : - Your Trail Gallery
Login page: Jump to user album after login
If I go to one user's album. and select "Edit Permissions", here is what I get:
Group Permissions
Group name Permission Action
Registered Users [core] View all versions <=== is this the problem??
Everybody [rating] All access
Everybody [digibug] Print
Everybody [ecard] Send eCards
Everybody [fotokasten] Print
...
Could the problme be the line I indicate?
Thanks,
-Flatfoot

Everybody [core] View all versions.

Dave,
I just tried something that surprised me. I logged in as a "regular user" - not admin. Then I went to that user's album page. When I switched the "View mode" from that user to "Guest" - wow! I saw nothing!
Is it that setting I indicate above??
Thanks,

Thanks! I'll give it a try. Is this a global setting that can be applied to all user albums, or does each user have to manually set this?

Your albums are probably inheriting from the parent album - check your perms there.

Voila! That did it. Actually, I had changed the parent permissions after the sub-album was created. Even though I had the "apply to sub albums" checked in the parent (empty root album), I'm guessing it meant that the change would take effect "from now on". So I went to the sub-albums and gave Everybody "[core] View All Versions" permission and that did the trick.
So - I hope that in the future, new sub-albums will be created with the parent's (empty root album) permissions for Everybody to view all.
Thank you all for your help!
