Random Games on Pro Portal

As requested by David Edison, a random games Pro Portal block.

Assumptions:
You have ProPortal and the games section addons installed

Warning
This block uses "order by RAND". This is NOT optimised for forums with a lot of games and may cause slow loading and excessive server load.

Installation
Unpack the rar file and upload the contents to forum root.

There are two png images included to show the rating stars.

IE8 and below does not support this kind of image manipulation so in those browsers there will be no image for the rating.

This plugin contains hard coded values (a problem with ProPortal which is out of my control). In order to change the number of games shown you need to open the portal block and find the following code:

Code:

$query = $db->query("SELECT g.title, g.gid, g.active, g.rating, g.name FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."games g ORDER by RAND() DESC LIMIT 0, 4");

Change the number 4 to however many games you want to display.
