Hi guys,
I am using an upload field and I only want to show the first three images in it on a page sidebar (the rest of them appear in a slideshow gallery).
I've seen use of <?PHP BREAK>, but that only shows the first image. Any tips?
Cheers!

Hi Chris,
That works well - one other thing:
To make the images appear in random order, where do I put the "orderby" bit?

Hi Benedict,
You can use the PHP shuffle() function to randomize the order of an array: (new code in red)
