dlawton on "Problem With Random Image Exports"


I recently exported the XML from a wordpress.com blog and migrated to wordpress.org

Some of the images within posts are still pointing to the old wordpress.com site (i.e. oldsiteaddress.wordpress.com) and since that address has now been made private the images sometimes display in the new site and sometimes don't it seems random

here is an example
http://sidewalkhustle.com/2010/03/uniqlo-spring-2010-men%E2%80%99s-lookbook/

sometimes the pictures show, sometimes they don't

attempting to go to
http://streethustle.wordpress.com/2010/03/uniqlo-spring-2010-men%E2%80%99s-lookbook/
redirects to the same post but on the new site (which is good)

but with this image for example
http://streethustle.files.wordpress.com/2010/03/uniqlo-spring-2010-00.jpg
there is no redirection (and the image doesn't exist on the new site anyway) so sometimes it shows on the new site and sometimes it doesn't it seems random

very confused about what to do here, are we going to have to manually copy over all the images?

thanks for any help!

How to add a URL to each image in this random image selector code?

Hey folks..

Hope you can help, I'm completely new to this and have no knowledge at all when it comes to javascript. Have been using this script on my site for a while. Is there anyway I can add a URL link to the images that are in my selector? When clicked would go to that page on my website.

Thanks in advance of any help

Loading Random Background Image

I'm trying to use jQuery to load a random background image in a header in Wordpress. I can't get it to work at all. Is there something wrong with my code?

JavaScript Code:

$(document).ready(function() {
var randomImages = ['home-bg-1','home-bg-2','home-bg-3'];
var rndNum = Math.floor(Math.random() * randomImages.length + 1);
$("#wrapper-home").css({ background: "url(images/home-bg-" + rndNum + ".jpg) left 48px no-repeat" });
});

In Firebug I can see it loading the random image "background-image:url(images/home-bg-1.jpg);" as an element style to #wrapper-home div.

This is in a header-home.php file in the main wp-content directory. The images are in the images/ folder in the same directory.

Thanks,

PHP Registration random code image verification

I have seen on many registration pages now the use of a random character set - converted to an image which users have to enter to verify that they are not an auto fill robot.

On a php registration page (Insert record), does anyone know how to do this?

I'm using DW and I assume its something to do with a random number generator with a swf converter....?

Multiple Random Image links from a Folder

Hey Ive read through the other forums on the topic, but I haven't done this in a long time. I am just starting the project so I don't have much to show for it yet.

What I have is a site with about 10 pictures, each of these pictures needs to be randomly pulled from folders, each picture slot will have its own folder, due to it being categorized. When the picture is clicked i need it to open a new page with the document associated to the picture. Is there a way to do this without having to rewrite the code every time? Because as there are new documents added at the end of each week.

Unfortunately the server I use doesn't support PHP, but if it has to be done in PHP I can switch.

Like I said though I haven't messed around with web design in a long time, so if someone could essentially spell this out for me I would be extremely grateful.

Random Problem

I'm trying to write a PHP script that selects two random words from a database. It's just for a little fun thing I have in mind.

The code I am using is such:

PHP Code:

<?php
mysql_connect
("IP:PORT", "USERNAME", "PASSWORD") or die("Unable to connect to database.");
mysql_select_db("DBNAME") or die("Unable to select database");

$result1=mysql_query("SELECT word1 FROM guildname ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT 1");
$result2=mysql_query("SELECT word2 FROM guildname ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT 1");
echo(
$result1 . " Stole My " . $result2);
mysql_close();
?>

The only words I have in the database at the moment are "One" to "Ten". When I run the script, instead of something like:

Three Stole My Two

I get this:

Resource id #3 Stole My Resource id #4

I have no idea what is going wrong here, and I was hoping someone could provide the answer. I got the code snippets from a tutorial, and I followed said tutorial to the leter!
