Using hero images in album sets does not work with random

Backlight 4, 5 & 6 Support

Hello,

I use BL5 and have a question about using Hero Images.

With album templates, the ramdom function works without any problems.

I would now like to have a hero image per random for album sets as well. If I do this, the space remains empty. I need to post a fixed photo.

The “random” setting is also there for sets. But it doesn’t do anything for me…

I would imagine that the album set basically “knows” which galleries are assigned to it and could randomly display images from them.

But it does not work. Am I making a mistake in reasoning? Or am I doing something wrong?

regards, Klaus
Thank you in advance for a short feedback.

Hi Klaus,

The random functionality only works for albums. For sets, you should assign a specific hero image.

Hi Matthew,

thank you for your reply.

I got it.

But couldn’t the random function also be extended to sets?

Maybe in future updates. I’m just asking :slight_smile:

Random cover images for sets is working for me. I think Ben added that a while back? Couldn’t find mention of it in the change log though.

So, for me, the random setting doesn’t work for sets. Have the current version of BL5, all modules are up to date.

Random works for me only for cover images, not Hero images
