== Introduction ==
This  mod was developed to enable an image border and display of media description for a random image. A mouse-over on the image will display a 'tooltip' in a pop-up with the text you have entered in the 'Description' field of the 'Media Information' section of Admin/Media edit.  


== Developer ==
Graham Chamberlain developed this mod. 


==Requirements==

* A working TNG installation.
* An installed current version of the [[Mod Manager]]
* A backup of your TNG '''randomphoto.php''' file.

==[[Mod Manager - Installing Config Files | Automated Installation]] ==
# Download the appropriate file for your TNG version from the download links in the mod summary area in the upper right.
# Extract the random_photo_display_v9.0.0.0.zip to your /mod folder.
#  Follow the normal automated installation for Mod Manager, as shown in  the example [[Mod Manager - Installing Config Files]] to install the  '''random_photo_display_v9.0.0.0.cfg'''.


== Custom Text Additions == 

'''Image Source:'''
Add the following to your customconfig.php: '$rp_mediatypeID = "photos";' (without the single outer quotes);
<br/>this is the default setting which you should change
to the appropriate (Collection ID) value for your alternative choice of images.

:'''Note:''' The Collection ID can be found if you select/edit the relevant collection in Admin/Media.


'''Image Size:'''
You  may like to display your random image a bit larger than the default.  Add your preferred maximum image size to customconfig.php (in the root  TNG folder) as in the following example:

       $rp_maxwidth = "250";
       $rp_maxheight = "200";


'''Image Border:'''
The mod contains reference to the style 'bordrandimage' for controlling the colour and shape of a border for the random image. On the author's (template8) website this is defined as:

   /* border colour for randomimage */
   .bordrandimg{
   border: 2px solid #211A16;
   border-radius: 4px;
   }

:'''Note''': If you want an image border you will need to add this style to your mytngstyle.css file, and edit the border and/or border-style appropriately.

==In the event of a problem with your TNG site==

# Try using the [[Mod Manager]] Remove capability
# Or copy your randomphoto.php file to your TNG directory
# * all should be well now
