Random Image Addon error msg in options.

[napoleonesq]

I downloaded the random image addon, and when i go to see in options, i see this error message, and it doesnt work on my website. In fact it looks odd because it put the error message in the counter section of options....but the counter appears to be workign fine.

I am a newbie, so bear with me :)

Here is a copy paste of what i see in options.

Pixelpost View Counter (counter - version 0.1) - status: ON

I trust the file is existing in the addon folder.

Look at the rights, what is the setting on the file and is it different compared to other files in that folder?

Sorry, what did that mean. I have the same problem but what "setting" on the file and which folder? The Addons folder?

I think it might be that there's an error in the file and it's causing the addon to not be complete. I don't have the View Counter as above but I have anti-spam and I get this

Pixelpost Anti-Spam (random_image - version 1.0) - status: ON

I actually get two boxes which barred spam words, it seems to be causing the previous addon to repeat itself. Unfortunately I don't think I have the PHP skills to find the glitch.

Seems downloading the new one will fix it... http://forum.pixelpost.org/showthread.php?t=5287&highlight=random+image

1) go to your site with your favorite FTP program
2) open the addons-folder
3) do a right click on the file "random_image.php"
4) look for something like "CHMOD" or "permissions"or "file attributes"
5) it shoud say something like "644" or "-rw-r--r--"
6) That means:
Owner permission: read, write
Group permission: read
Public permission: read
6) if it doesn't match that, change it.

The error shown in options just says that: permission denied.
