Notes

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.

Automated Installation

1. Download the appropriate file for your TNG version from the download links in the mod summary area in the upper right.
2. Extract the random_photo_display_v9.0.0.0.zip to your /mod folder.
3. 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

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

1. Try using the Mod Manager Remove capability
2. Or copy your randomphoto.php file to your TNG directory
3. * all should be well now
