Do you use Aeva Media?

If so the following is what I use on MKAware @ www.miltonkeynesaware.co.cc/mkaforum

Code: [Select]

global $sourcedir;
   require_once($sourcedir . '/Aeva-Subs.php');
   echo '<h2>Random Images</h2>';
   echo aeva_listItems(aeva_getMediaItems(0, 12, 'RAND()'), false, '', 3);

I neglected to mention it's a custom php block you want.

thanks BigEars will try that now

[s@ffz]

I get an error

[BigEars]

Not sure why.

Hopefully one of the PM 'experts' can help.

[s@ffz]

Thanks for trying BigEars much appreciated.

This part of the code is not right I think:

   echo aeva_listItems(aeva_getMediaItems(0, 12, 'RAND()'), false, '', 3);

It should be:

   echo 'aeva_listItems(aeva_getMediaItems(0, 12, 'RAND()'), false, '', 3)';

[s@ffz]

I still recieve the same error

[willemjan]

The odd thing is that this should work. So the only thing I can come up is that the parameters are not correct. Bigears, where did you find this code?

By the way, when do you see this error?

The one that is used here was made for TinyPortal, with a few change's, maybe Deezel will post the code in this topic.

[willemjan]

He allready did that

already got it running guys, but thanks for all efforts..
if anyone else has this problem the fix was to disable the PHP validate from Admin > SimplePortal > General Settings

[willemjan]

IMHO that is not an fix. There is something wrong with the code otherwise it would have passed the validation.
