TGPX Question(s)
JustRobert & I have been about why TGPX does some stuff since Day 1. We've been in the "Whatever" status until recently because, with me moving LOR to TGPX, I don't want to "Whatever" this stuff anymore.
The concept of our network is simple in theory: Take 1,000's of galleries (there's 38,000 in there now) & randomly* show them across 65 domains that are 1 page sites & 3 domains that have an index & 55 category pages (so 233 total pages). *The exception to this is "new" galleries (galleries Approved the day before or Approved & scheduled for that day) So, we have the order section of the {galleries} coding set like this: order=date_approved DESC reorder=RAND() I'm pretty sure there's no problem with the "new" galleries - we want them to load 1st & they do. It's the "reorder=RAND()" galleries that are really fucking with us. We want these to be truly random, pulling from any & all galleries tagged with that category (as well as randomly pulling from the entire database if the {galleries} category is set to "MIXED"). What we get is basically the same galleries over & over, sometimes on back-to-back days, sometimes every other day, sometimes every 3-4 days. I've come to the conclusion that we're doing something wrong or we have our settings incorrect, but I just can't figure it out So, knowing all that, here's a screencap of our General Settings: Here's the typical {galleries} coding that we use: Code:
{* PULL THE SUBMITTED GALLERIES FROM THE DATABASE *} {galleries var=$galleries type=permanent format=any getnew=true allowused=true description=false preview=true amount=25 previewsize=180x180 category=Erotic sponsor=any order=date_approved DESC reorder=RAND()} <table align="center" cellpadding="0" border="0" width="100%"> <tr> <td>{* DISPLAY ALL OF THE GALLERIES *} {foreach var=$gallery from=$galleries counter=$counter}</td> <td><a href="{$gallery.gallery_url|htmlspecialchars}" title="{$gallery.description|htmlspecialchars}"><img src="{$gallery.preview_url|htmlspecialchars}" border="0" alt="{$gallery.description|htmlspecialchars}"></a></td> <td>{insert counter=$counter location=+5 max=20}</td> </tr><tr> <td>{/insert} {/foreach}</td> <td></td> <td></td> </tr> </table> Does anyone have any ideas? Need more screencaps or access to the admin? Please LMK because this is bugging the living shit out of me |
