I am trying to pull random images from a specfic album, but i cant figure out what my album ids are. If I leave it blank it pulls from all albums so I know its working at least in part.

disable the url rewrite module and browse to the album in question, the Id will be in the url.

When I deactivate my URL Rewrite Module, I get 404 errors when attempting to click on any of the album links...

OK. That clreared the issue I was having, and now I see a number in my URL:

http://mysite/home/gallery3?g2_itemId=216

but when I use the number in the "Album od Item ID" field, the block doesn't come up. An empty field gives me the "Whole Gallery Random" thing, so that part's working. Is the format for the ID just the number?

No clue, I prefer suprsidr's mediablock:

That may get you going better.

Is this a gallery3 question?
not the same as gallery2.

Good question. It's still Gallery2. The gallery3 path is some kind of artifact of the Drupal embedded Gallery module...

In gallery2 you don't need to disable rewrite to gleam the itemId - its present in the edit url as well.

Doh!

I never even looked there! I still can't figure out the formatting to get the Drupal Image-Block to accept it, though.
