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

     $album = 'lastup'; (like this)

if i want to show the last 4 albums in a 4 row of picture
$thumb_per_page = 4;

what should the $album = must become to display one of all 4 picture of last album?

I absolutely love this easy script! Thanks!! I'm using it on my P!nk fansite, PinkJams.com . (No heckling please! hehe)

I have 2 installations of CPG installed, one for video and one for pics. The pic's one is working good (See the front page of www.pinkjams.com) but the video gallery instance of the script is returning "Photo al?atoire" instead of the video's related thumbnail. If you click the words, it does take you directly to the video file as designed, but I was hoping to do one of the following:

1. Display the thumbnail of the video or,
2. Display the file's "Title" that is settable in the 'edit file' interface of CPG.

Any suggestions? I realize this isnt the intended design of your script (displaying vids) but just thought I'd ask. Thanks!

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.

How do i change the border color of it?  I tried it with my style sheet but its not turning out right.  what do i put in that line in the get_photo.php file.

Thanks in advance

Thanks for sharing your code :-) It is working fine from within the copermine directory. Does anyone know how to make it work for a page outside coppermine?

Appreciate any help.

Hi,

thank you.

Where did you find the answer? I looked at this page:
http://cpmfetch.fistfullofcode.com/projects/copperminefetch/tips.php#cssboxes
But it doesn't even tell you where to put that code in order to style it...

[Nibbler]

You put it in the styesheet of the page you are usng cpmfetch on. If it doesn't use a stylesheet then add it inline using <style> tags.

[Joachim Müller]

This thread doesn't deal with cpmFetch. Don't reply with question related to cpmFetch to this thread. In fact, there's a new support board dedicated to cpmFetch issues: cpg1.4 cpmFetch by vuud

[ashleyXcore]

You put it in the styesheet of the page you are usng cpmfetch on. If it doesn't use a stylesheet then add it inline using <style> tags.

You would put this:

Code Select Expand

cpm_viewRandomMediaFromAlbum(2,2,17,array("tablestyle" => "test1","imagestyle" => "test1"));
in a stylesheet?

Sorry to post again in this thread by the way :/

[ashleyXcore]

You would put this:

Code Select Expand

cpm_viewRandomMediaFromAlbum(2,2,17,array("tablestyle" => "test1","imagestyle" => "test1"));
in a stylesheet?

EDIT: oh my god, I figured it out... sorry about posting here again >.<

Hi, thanks for this.

I have a question: is there anything in the code for get_photo.php that could stop a page where the random pictures are included from validating in XHTML 1.0 transitional?

I'm trying to validate my page, but I keep getting this message:

Sorry, I am unable to validate this document because on line 56  it contained one or more bytes that I cannot interpret as utf-8

Line 56 is the line where I include my get_photo.php, like this:

Code Select Expand

<p class="random" align="center"><?include("http://path/to/get_photo.php");?></p>

When I delete the include bit only (not the p tags), the page validates fine.

This is my get_photo.php code (I'm posting it because it's not identical to djib's original code):

Code Select Expand

    echo $description;

}
?>

Is there something wrong there? Or is my problem unrelated to this?

Thanks

I have tried this code - it works with a regular website but not with phpbb forum. Am I missing something or this code was not designed for a forum? Also, can I remove the title of the thumptail and only have the thumpnails displayed?

[Joachim Müller]

It wasn't specifically designed to work with phpBB. It may or may not work with it - we don't know. Probably doesn't.

[helitown]

Thanks GauGau so I can stop trying. I am checking cpmFetch now.

[tommytomato]

All i'm geting is a blank page, any idea on why its not working ?
