CpmFetch 1.4 On... Displaying data and images from CPG on your website

[Rodinou]

As there is no index.htm / php on the cpmfetch dir, you can download the files to see where is it's "wrong" ...

That does not work.  PHP is recognized by the server, and executed when called.  If I was able to just download a php file, then that would mean your server was incredibly misconfigured.

Make a copy of your cpmfetch.php to a file named cpmfetch.php.html so I can look at that please.

Thanks

Done

Server seems to be OK ... but if you have ideas to configure it better, I take

Hey,

You did the wrong file...  cfig_random.php  NOT cpmfetch.php...

But the server executed the PHP in it anyway so ...

copy cpmfetch.php to cpmfetch.php.txt

It should not execute that anyway

Done (bis)

"A miracle has taken place, a miracle has taken place"

I have renamed in .txt ... reupload the 2 files (php and txt) ... and ... !!!!!!!!!! It works !

I have not the logic in php/mysql ... and with this, I understand less

Now learn how to USE it ...

Your crazy...   Adding the text file does nothing. 

What happened was that you did not upload the changed file with the thumb_ versus tn_ before.  I looked at the cftest.php when I posted last and it was going after your files with thumb_ not tn_ ... I wanted to see the cpmfetch.php file to make sure that was the case.

In any case, I am glad it is working for you

Hi all,

Not sure if this is a coppermine question of CMPFetch question. I want to display the top rated pictures down the side of my page in the coppermine gallary, which I have been able to do. The problem or question is how do I prevent these images showing unless the user is logged in. I currently require users to be logged in before they can view any images.

Thanks in advance
Dill

another question, can you use fmpfetch to get images from a coppermin installation on another domain? Sorry if this has allready been answered, I did search, I promise, please point me to the post

Yes and no... You can use cfimageget.php to access images on another server, or if you are big with javascript, you could probably use cfrssget.php to get a bunch of images and parse the rss and display them like that.

You cannot use cfimageget directly onto another domain since it needs to have access to see what files are available on the drive.  Since CPG will not make a file named normal_ if the picture you uploaded is already the right size.

Ah well... let me know how things work out... I'd be interested if the rss thing worked for you.

I'd assume you'd have to code it into your template to only do it if they are logged in... not sure how though

Pants of Hamster...

I've been drinking beer and mulling over my comment about using RSS feeds to show content on a different site.  I now, thanks to the magic of hops and the divine fermentation, have a new idea.

1) Create a php page on your site using the traditional cpmfetch methodologies.   Have it display whatever you want for the other site

2) Make it so that it prefixes it with    document.write("

3) Make it postfix it with    ")

4) On the other site, enter in something like

<script language="JavaScript"
        src="http://www.yourdomainname.com/phpfile.php">
</script>

In theory it should generate the html and then send it to your other web site.  In theory. 

The only problem I can think of is that the full url will not be added in.  You may have to invoke the function about overriding the url to cpg... its in the docs under functions, forget the name of it.

Let me know if this works,  a few beers and I want to know

[vuud]

Well, I am going to release a new stable version in a few days.  If anyone feels up to it, please test the latest dev version from

http://cpmfetch.fistfullofcode.com

and PM if it works for you or not.

In other news, I am in need of help for the documentation aspect... if anyone feels like writing up something, example, corrections - ANYTHING for the docs, send them on over.  Full credit given.

The docs are online at the above site... they are as new as the day you look at them (I don't hold anything back).

Thanks much

Why use buggy JavaScript instead of actually pulling the content using php's include? The only thing you'll need is: your webhost on the server you're pulling from must allow url_fopen. Just try it, create a test file with this code:

Code Select Expand

<?php
include('http://mysite.tld/testpage.php');
?>

Interesting...  I assume that will execute the php on the remote site then?  I suppose it would be a horrible security risk if it did not

Worth trying I'd say

IIS is notorious for not populating all required server vars, which appears to be the case for your setup (no DOCUMENT_ROOT and no SCRIPT_FILENAME). Use phpinfo() to find out what server var holds the information that is needed. Have I ranted in this thread already that self-hosting is not recommended, especially on a non-server-OS ?
