CpmFetch - (OLD/LOCKED) stats/thumbnails/randoms/etc from outside CPG

[vuud]

Sorry to sound like a dummy but can you give me an example of what to add and where to put it?

img src="http://www.yoursite.com/cfimageget.php?cmd=last"

I realize now that last is a bit confusing... the original thought was like "show last added". 

Does that help at all?

Yes, last added are the one's I want to show meaning the newest photos uploaded. I added this added this but the last added photos are not showing. I want to show 3 of the most recent photos and 3 random images. Is this possible? This is the code I have below:

Random, you can always have as many as you want - cmd=random on all those above... the "last" parameter will only show one.  If you are doing this in a php file on the same server, you can just use copperminefetch instead of this.  Otherwise if you are in HTML on the same server, you will need to wait until I do the SSI mod.

What version are you running?  what did it show?  Anything?  What does the html src for that part show also?

Hmmm

I'm not sure if this is the version I found it on line 28 of coppermine.php

* @version $Revision: 1.1 $

<a href="http://domain.com/pics"><img src="http://domain.com/cpmfetch/cfimageget.php?cmd=last" border="0"></a>

I entered the code above and it showed an old image not the newest one. This is added on a PHP file on the same server and the site is the same. I am not using copperminefetch because the formatting of my nav menu gets screwed up in IE.

[vuud]

I'd try getting the newest dev version...  Right now, my revision in there is 1.13 (12 commits newer)

Ah yes, the formatting...

Not sure why you would not get the newest... upgrade and see if that fixes it.

vuud, I just wanted to clarify is that 1.1.3 or 1.3.3?

Edit NM, I downloaded 1.3.3 and the formatting looks ok with my nav bar.

You should upgrade... your running something prior to the last stable... I'd recommend the latest dev version 1.3.3 - especially for tweaking to get it running on...

There are a few issues with running this on a windows server.  Since I don't have access to one, and since Microsoft is a minority in the web server world, I have not really been able to fix it.  I am not sure what to tell you...    If you are running Apache on windows, let me know.

If you are feeling adventerous... you can try to get it working and let us know how you did it...  There was at least one other person running IIS...  I really must find someone that has one...  Basically what is happening is that the program cannot find the config.inc.php file...    There is also going to be an issue later with DOCUMENT_ROOT not being provided by the server to be read.  If you look through the posts here, someone had hardcoded thier location into the script and got it working.

I emailed a friend of mine, and I am hoping he will be willing to try it under IIS and tell me where it is failing.

[freesouljah]

it was a pleasant surprise, to say the least  

Thanks on both counts!  Good to see someone who understands the banner

thank you...

this a beautiful addition to coppermine....just thought I would put that out there  


also, I felt it necessary to point out the poignant banner on your site:

very cool  

peace

Hello!
Everything work fine for me, but I want to "remove" the link from the pictures. If you understand..

When someone press on my pictures to get them big, they just opens in the current frame:/ I want them to open in an new page.
Sort of "target _blank"

How do I do that? Someone who can help me?

FreeSoulJah is 100% right on how this is supposed to be done.  I was however told yesterday that M$ in thier infinate wisdom is starting to block JPG files from being referenced directly in web browsers.  I am not sure how much of this is true, but just because it comes out nicer - I am working on an external program that will display it...  give a few days for that to hit the dev versions...

If you do this, include the cpmfetch.js in your page... it has a nice javascript thing in there to show it nicely.  I think it works


BTW Freesouljah... I am actually a Buddhist, generally in a Vietnamese / Mahayana tradition, currently in dharma teacher classes also  - but not really locked into one way.  Just thought I would throw that out there since you liked my "ad"

I am running this on a windows 2000 Server with IIS

i have version 1.3.3 installed at this location

Well, hope may be on the horizon for those of you that are into IIS...  A friend of mine that uses that stuff at his day job has volunteered to install it and let me know where it is failing specifically.  So I would check back often, or susbscribe to my cpmfetch announcements at my web site

http://cpmfetch.fistfullofcode.com

Whatever fixes there are will be in the next development release - which will be as soon as we have something

Be well in the meantime

Hello,
I can't get this to work in the sidebar of a Word Press template. It gives me one random picture, which is what I want, but screws up the other database calls.

I read your suggestion about not including the close command, but it just screwed up the sidebar in a different way 

I'm trying version 1.3.3.

Is it because it is inserting a table?

Can you (PM if you need to) the exact call you are using, and a link to a broken example page (or conversily a screenshot if you don't want to leave it live - but having the source html could be handy).

You could be on a php version prior to 4.2...

What version of PHP and what version of cpmfetch?  I thought I had all the calls for that wrapped in an PHP version check to avoid this...

UPDATE:   I just modified my code base here to not use that function at all... I had code for using 4.2 and above, then code for less than 4.2... I decided to just go with the 4.1 compliant way to simplify the code base.  A little hedge trimming if you will.

When you see 1.3.4 come out...  that one has this.  Still not sure why you would get it - but that function is gone in the next development release (give me 2-3 days).  Subscribe to the mailer at http://cpmfetch.fistfullofcode.com to be notified of the release.

A good friend of mine loaded up a server with IIS, Coppermine and CPMFetch to work this out.  As it stands now, you can get around the problems of IIS by doing this:

From TJC:

Under at least Windows XP (it should probably work for Windows 2000) you can
define a System (My Computer -> Properties -> Advanced -> Environment Variables)
environment variable called "DOCUMENT_ROOT" and point it at "C:\INETPUB\WWWROOT"
assuming you installed IIS on the C:\ drive. You have to reboot the computer
and then the $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] will be defined,

After that, he claims it all works fine (and sent a PDF to prove it).  So in the meantime I will try to work out some other solution for this so you don't need to muck with your
system variables.  If your on shared windows hosting and can't do this - your still outta luck till I fix it.  Or complain to your tech support you want to switch to unix hosting, or have them add it. 


Subscribe to the announcements mailer at http://cpmfetch.fistfullofcode.com to be notified of releases, which would note this when its fixed.

Hi Vuud,
Here's the code:

Code Select Expand

<h3>Random Picture</h3>
<div align="center">
<?php include "cpmfetch/coppermine.php";
$objCpm = new cpm('/pictures');
$objCpm->cpm_viewRandomMedia (1,1);
$objCpm->cpm_close();?>
</div>

Deleting the headline and div doesn't make any difference. Here's a link to the screenshot ... http://www.gorey.com.au/images/word.jpg

As you can see, the Word Press database calls for "random posts" and "recent comments" are missing and a blog entry is inserted where there should be other sidebar stuff.
