Can't you simply go to Administration Menu
XCGallery Admin
General Configuration
Find this line (6th LINE DOWN):
Album list view: The content of the main page
Listed to the right are what will display on the album main page... If you don't want random there just remove it or if you want more or less just change the number behind it.
Here is what you can do with that configuration line from the readme in the xcgal folder:
"Album list view: The content of the main page"
Here you can arranged the content of the gallery main page. Use following abbreviation(without ') seperated with a /:
'catlist': for diaplaying the category list
'alblist': for diaplaying album list
'random,x': random pictures with x rows
'lastup,x': last uploads with x rows
'topn,x': most viewed with x rows
'toprated,x': top rated with x rows
'lastcom,x': last comments with x rows
'mostsend,x': most sent ecards with x rows
'lasthits,x': last hits with x rows
Example: 'catlist/alblist/random,2/lastcom,2/lasthits,1' this displays the category and album list, 2 rows of random pics, 2 rows of last commented pics and 1 row of the last hits.
Excluding catlist and alblist, you can use this commands for the meta albums block, too.
