Showing images by a specific user

[David McKim]

Now I spoke with Vuud personally on this, he said that currently he doesn't believe that cpmfetch can do this. He recommended that I post here. He said that an experienced php coder may be able to find a way to do this. Basically I would just like to be able to show the latest uploaded piece of art, by a specified user. I would really appreciate it if someone could help me out and code something up.

Thank you,

Heh, Vuud wrote the code... Vuud knows it cannot do this

If anyone has a bit of PHP experience and can help David out, I would recommend using the cpmfetch to return the recently added images as a dataset (instead of html) and then iterating over the array to yank a specific user only.  (set the requested number to some insane amount so you are sure to get the user (like 100 rows x 100 columns).

Since you are getting the dataset, you won't be displaying all of these.

Some examples of working with data from cpmfetch are here:

Anyway, I am a bit swamped right now - if no one else hits this, I will code something up...  I mostly wanted it posted to share the knowledge so to speak.


So long for now...

Where is that random pic suppossed to appear - on a coppermine page or non-coppermine page?

He wants it outside of coppermine...  basically the only issue is that I dont have a provision to filter down to a specific user yet...

I did think of a good place in the interface to include it though

Vuud is also, apparently addlebrained.

Yes, the code can do this... its one of those features I must have stuck in, but never documented and then forgot about...

Any of the calls that end in "from" can do this...  So for instance:

Code Select Expand

$objCpm->cpm_viewRandomMediaFrom(1,2,"owner=vuud,admin");

Works fine.

Any of the calls that take a source parameter supports this - completely forgot.

Even narrowing it down should work:

Code Select Expand

$objCpm->cpm_viewRandomMediaFrom(1,2,"owner=vuud,admin:cat=1,5");


Sorry I forgot about that... I should make sure it gets documented

On the bright side, one less thing I need to get done.

I kind of have this figured out...but not perfected...

is there a way to have the owner as a variable?

$objCpm->cpm_viewLastAddedMediaFrom(1,2,"owner=$owner",$options)

or (I would prefer this method for .tpl files)

$objCpm->cpm_viewLastAddedMediaFrom(1,2,"owner={OWNER},$options)

I am using it to intergrate with a bridged phpbb database...I kind of have it working...but I have to integrate it directly into my .php file to get it to work..and it doesn't work exactly like I would like it to...

peace

Whatzup?

Both of what you are looking to do are a function of the environment you are using cpmfetch in.  I don't know what to say more than that...

I can't get it to work using just the {OWNER} substitute in .tpl files....I can sortof get it playing with core php files of phpbb...but I would like to just use the same placeholder, but I don't know if that is possible...

that is mainly what I am concerned with...

it is also a question involving the username variable for a template inside the php of cpmfetch...

in the karma,

Yeah that is what I was trying to tell Vuud but he blocked my pms <_< apparently he didnt like my format... Anyways yea this code doesnt work on my site either, what exactly is required for this code to work?

So you sent vuud PMs and you wonder why he didn't react ?
This is your very last chance: read the board rules extra carefully. Read them now. Then re-read them. Read the section about not sending PMs to supporters once more. Then read all of the other rules. You have the time to read them even once more, because you're banned from posting for three days. Next ban will be permanent. You have been told repeatedly that you're suppossed to respect board rules.
