How am I able to add random images to an existing image slideshow gallery, without allowing them to be seen in the thumbnail view on the side ?

Here's an existing gallery: http://www.vogue.com.au/fashion/show_coverage/2006/2007_australian_fashion_week/schedule/toni_maticevski/toni_maticevski_runway

And I'm wanting every 5th image (for example) to go to a random image or media file which appears in that same space!

For example, to work like this: http://www.style.com/peopleparties/parties/slideshow/091906CFDA/?iphoto=0

Any advice would be much appreciated, thanks!

Hi pauline,
welcome to ez.no

As you can see style.com has a click counter and the image number which are passed as a get parameter through the url :

&iphoto=7&cnt=15

You can do this in the same way, pass them as a view parameter and show your add every 5 images...

There is also a shuffle template operator from xrow within the contributions which you will need to show a random image: http://ez.no/community/contribs/template_plugins/extension_shuffle

Mit freundlichen Grüßen
Best regards

I do not have ready-to-use solution, but you can check this:
