i would like to display a random Member, or a Daily Member Spotlight would be better - anyone know of a module or capability?

thanks

Re: Random Member ... ?

make a new block and select PHP Script as a type of block. enter this code into the content of the block:

$random_member = mysql_fetch_assoc(mysql_query("SELECT uid, uname FROM xoops_users ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT 1"));

print "<p align='center'>";
print "<strong>Random member:</strong><br />";
print "<a href='userinfo.php?uid=$random_member[uid]'>$random_member[uname]</a>";
print "</p>";

awesome - instead of printing a link, can that query be made to just appear as Viewed Member on a timed interval? Just like a New Members block, but with just one...

well, one of the blocks is New Members, and it shows a list of Members and their Avatars (if selected) - obviously the five (or however many i choose) newest ones.

i guess the code for these blocks is XML?

so instead of Listing x New Members, i'd like to list 1 Random member. our site is built around highlighting the members themselves (entertainers, etc).

$random_member = mysql_fetch_assoc(mysql_query("SELECT uid, uname, user_avatar FROM xoops_users ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT 1"));

print "<p align='center'>";
print "<strong>Random member:</strong><br />";
print "<a href='userinfo.php?uid=$random_member[uid]'>$random_member[uname]</a><br />";
print "<img src='/uploads/$random_member[user_avatar]' alt='avatar' />";
print "</p>";

thanks very much ---

i've tried to hire someone to help me "correct" a query i have running against another table to where it queries the xoops_avatars table instead. haven't had anyluck with someone who knows MySQL real well. i wonder if you'd be willing to look at the (short) script? i can pay a little.

can i PM it to you?
