When I visit Control Panel Home ›  Modules ›  Image Galleries

and mouse over my “photos” gallery, i get this url:

http://www.adetskas.net/pathto expressionengine/index.php?S=blahblahblah=modules&M=gallery&P=manage_gallery&gallery_id=2

the key part is the id=2 at the end. I’m using this id to plug into this random thumb from category trick found in the wiki:

http://www.eewiki.com/index.php/Gallery_Category_Images

I’m copy and pasting the code from the wiki and just changing the “gallery_id” part to be gallery_id=‘2’ but this doesnt’ seem to work. I fixed the URLS elsewhere in the code snippet in hopes that it required those to work, no dice.

So my question is how do I know for sure I’m using the correct gallery id? Where are my gallery id’s displayed?

That’s the correct Gallery ID.  How exactly does it not “seem to work”?

Well, nothing displays at all. It’s acting like the gallery doesn’t exist or something.  Now, I only have a couple images in each gallery category, may this cause a problem?

Here’s the page:

And here’s the code:

Ok, this is what I get for following directions so closely. The wiki document seen here: http://www.eewiki.com/index.php/Gallery_Category_Images leaves out an important point. You need to customize “gallery_id” AND “gallery=”. Can I update this wiki document or is that someone elses job?

Yes, of course you can update it, it’s a wiki, that’s the point. =)

I know, but sometimes you feel icky about updating the wiki.
