[djib]

Hello,
How can I display a random image taken from my coppermine gallerie on some other website ?
Thanks.

I found a solution.

foreach($data AS $picture) {

    $thumb_url = "$image_url$picture[filepath]$CONFIG[thumb_pfx]$picture[filename]";
    $keywords = explode(" ",trim($picture[keywords]));

    echo $description;
}

?>


After that, just add <?php include(http://yoursite/get_photo.php); ?> where you want to display the photo.

djib that is EXACTLY what I needed. Thank you! And it is super simple, unlike the cpmfetch idea.
One note: you forgot your quotes on the include:

Code Select Expand

<?php include("http://yoursite/get_photo.php"); ?>

[djib]

I'm happy you like it mqcarpenter.
Thanks for spotting the error in the include.

Here is a new version of the script that allows to display a chosen number of photos. Photos are now picked up randomly even in one album.

For example get_photo?album=6&nb=4 will display 4 photos from album 6.

moving this thread accordingly.

[IamDeirdre]

Pretty cool, thanks for sharing this!

[younk]

Is it possible to have it show the normal picture.. not the original but the http://www.babez.dk/galleri/displayimage.php?album=7&pos=1 that picture?

[Arnaud]

Hello

This code is working on a page but not in my vbulletin template page.

include php () seems not working.. any idea?

thanks

[jayanthsharma]

djib,
I am immensly happy with your code. I cant believe i struggled for 2 days with cpmfetch to do what this little script does.

[Joachim Müller]

This script is a nice little contribution, however it has severe drawbacks as far as I can see:

• Permissions aren't being taken into account
• Will only work for images, but not for other file types
• Will only work if in the coppermine root folder

If you can live with those drawbacks, then fine. However, we don't recommend it - we recommend cpmFetch instead.

[pcwfreak]

This script is nice but how do you get rid of the views and picture name?

[TuXi]

Thanx ALOT!!! 

[chanfuterboy]

ok i see both script

the first one, how to put ( how many views ) under the picture, of my it display aside


The second script.

How to display the picture vertically instead of horrizontly

thanks

[truth005]

The code is amazing! But is there a way that the blue border around the pic dosnt show up, or a way to customize the border? Also is there a way to show the latest uploaded pictures but have 1 pic show up for each new album like they have on www.shakiramedia.com on there "latest additons"

[justbishop]

Awesome little script   One question...any way to get it to display the latest picutres, rather than randoms?

And the border can be done away with.  Just add border ="0" in this line, toward the very end of the code:

Code Select Expand

$description = '<a href="' . $link_url . $picture['pid'] . '"><img src="' . $thumb_url . '"  [b]border="0"[/b] alt="Photo aléatoire"/></a>';

I actually crated a class for the picture in my page's css, added the class tag to the above instead of the border one, and can control border color, thickness, etc. from the css now.  note that you can also change the "alt" tag to say something other than "Photo aléatoire."

[justbishop]

Sorry for the double post.  I didn't see an edit option, and realised only after I posted that bbcode tags don't work within code tags  *headdesk*

so yeah, here's what I really ment to put in the code block above:

Code Select Expand

$description = '<a href="' . $link_url . $picture['pid'] . '"><img src="' . $thumb_url . '"  border="0" alt="Photo aléatoire"/></

Thanks you! and to have latest pictures change random' to 'lastup'

     $album = 'lastup'; (like this)

[justbishop]

Yay!  Thank you 

[justbishop]

Again, no edit (am I completely missing it?)

Anyway, I have another question...is there a way to use this code to specify a certain category I'd like to display pictures from, rather than an album?  I saw this earlier in the thread:

get_photo?album=6&nb=4

That worked for me in the include, so I figured that changing "album" to "cat" would be worth a shot, but no luck.
