The Random Image Block is a small plugin that will display a random image from your native WordPress photo galley or in-beaded images.
This widget will display the thumbnail of the random image, the “caption” and the images parent posts name. You may show all pictures on your site, or limit the selection to a single category if you wish. Once installed on your site, it will fully conform to the current theme. The Widgets title is also fully configurable. Random Image Widget was designed with full internationalization in mind and can be fully translated (Any help on this would be appreciated). As of Version 0.3 this plugin works out of the box without any configuraion (assuming you have pictures on your site).
The Random Image Block plugin works with WordPress 3.0+ in both single and multi site modes. As a Site Admin, you may activate this plugin across all the sites on your install.
This Plugin is fully translated into the following languages:
<ul>
<li>Arabic</li>
<li>Czech</li>
<li>Finnish</li>
<li>French</li>
<li>Danish</li>
<li>Dutch</li>

This plugin will allow you to put one of the meny <a href="http://gallery.menalto.com/" rel="nofollow ugc">Gallery2</a> Image Blocks on your WordPress site. You are required to have a running Gallery2 install to use this plugin.
This is a complete rewrite of <a href="http://www.theschierers.net/blog" rel="nofollow ugc">Chris Schierer (aka Lentil)</a> <a href="https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/gallery2-image-block-widget" rel="ugc">Gallery2 Image Block Plugin</a> 0.1.4. This rewrite uses the new WordPress 2.8 Widget API, so is only compatable with wordpress 2.8+.
All options described in the <a href="http://codex.gallery2.org/Gallery2:Modules:imageblock" rel="nofollow ugc">Gallery 2 Image Block</a> documentation are included. User configuration of Image Block options are available in the Widget configuration panel. Blank (empty) options use the Gallery2 defaults.
