Is there a way to tell the Sidebar Block option to pull "Random Images" from a certain album? I found the "id" option, but that says that it will just pull the album highlight, not a random image. I have multiple albums in my Gallery, but only one album really ties into my Wordpress blog. When it grabs other photos, it doesn't mesh too well.

Thanks in advance.

I don't think there is a way to do that now, but Ozgreg might know a trick that I don't know.

When we get rid of our reliance on the ImageBlock module in WPG2 3.1, we'll be able to do "designer" things like this much more easily, since we'll be generating out own HTML instead of relying on what ImageBlock can put out.

Ok, thanks for the quick reply. I'll work with it for now, it's not a huge deal.

Sorry but not really, you could disable all the other albums from appearing in the imageblock and thus by default you would only get one album photos appearing.. as CK has posted in the next release we will have much greater flexibility to design random blocks..
