[Mod] Discuss-this-picture for CPG and phpbb

[Bruz]

This is a mod for coppermine and phpbb.
It creates a new link when viewing a picture which starts a new thread in phpbb with the image-filename as title and the image-link in [img]-Tags as message. Now the user which clicked the link can add his suggestions under the image.

First you need to do a few changes to your phpbb.

open posting.php

find

Code Select Expand

if ( $mode == 'newtopic' )
   {
      $user_sig = ( $userdata['user_sig'] != '' ) ? $userdata['user_sig'] : '';

      $username = ($userdata['session_logged_in']) ? $userdata['username'] : '';
      $poll_title = '';
      $poll_length = '';
      $subject = '';
      $message = '';
   }

replace with

Code Select Expand

if ( $mode == 'newtopic' )
        {
                $user_sig = ( $userdata['user_sig'] != '' ) ? $userdata['user_sig'] : '';

                $username = ($userdata['session_logged_in']) ? $userdata['username'] : '';
                $poll_title = '';
                $poll_length = '';
                $subject = ( !empty($HTTP_GET_VARS['subject']) ) ? htmlspecialchars(trim($HTTP_GET_VARS['subject'])) : '';
                $message = ( !empty($HTTP_GET_VARS['message']) ) ? htmlspecialchars(trim($HTTP_GET_VARS['message'])) : '';
        }


save and upload the file.

Now coppermine:

open displayimage.php

find

Code Select Expand

   $pic_pos = sprintf($lang_img_nav_bar['pic_pos'], $human_pos, $pic_count);

after, add

Code Select Expand

  // Create the 'Discuss-this-Picture function
    $picture_path = $CONFIG['fullpath'] . $CURRENT_PIC_DATA['filepath'] . $CURRENT_PIC_DATA['filename'];
    $discuss_name = htmlspecialchars($CURRENT_PIC_DATA['filename']);
    $discuss = "http://www.path_to_your_phpbbforum/posting.php?mode=newtopic&f=[insert the number of the forum where you want to add the Posting without the "[]"]&subject=$discuss_name&message=[img]http://www.path_to_your_album/$picture_path&#91/img]";

find

Code Select Expand

       '{NEXT_TITLE}' => $next_title,

after, add

Code Select Expand

       '{DISCUSS_TGT}' => $discuss,

open /your_theme/theme.php (changes for 'fruity', search '// HTML template for the image navigation bar' in your theme and add what you need to call '{DISCUSS_TGT}')

find

Code Select Expand

<td align="center" valign="middle" class="navmenu" witdh="100%">
                        {PIC_POS}
                </td>

after, add

Code Select Expand

               <td align="center" valign="middle" class="navmenu" width="48">
                        <a href="{DISCUSS_TGT}" title="Discuss this picture"><img src="themes/fruity/images/discuss.gif" width="17" height="17" border="0" align="absmiddle" alt="Discuss this picture"></a>
                </td>

(You need to store a picture called 'discuss.gif' in the /images dir of your theme)

Save all files and upload them. You're done.

Please tell me your thougts about this mod in this thread.

Hi Bruz,

glad you got it done  :wink:

[Bruz]

Thank you casper!

A small addition for those of you who use the 'standart theme':

open theme.php

find

Code Select Expand

<td align="center" valign="middle" class="navmenu" witdh="100%">
                        {PIC_POS}
                </td>


after, add

Code Select Expand

               <td align="center" valign="middle" class="navmenu" width="48">
                        <a href="{DISCUSS_TGT}" title="Discuss this picture"><img src="themes/default/images/discuss.gif" width="16" height="16" border="0" align="absmiddle" alt="Discuss this picture"></a>
                </td>


save and upload the file.

And a addition for those who will use the intermediate picture with a link to the big one (creates nice ubb-Code in your Forum)

instead of using the "//Create the 'Discuss-this-Picture function" from above use:

Code Select Expand

  // Create the 'Discuss-this-Picture function
           if ($CONFIG['make_intermediate'] && max($CURRENT_PIC_DATA['pwidth'], $CURRENT_PIC_DATA['pheight']) > $CONFIG['picture_width']) {
        $picture_path = get_pic_url($CURRENT_PIC_DATA, 'normal');
        } else {
        $picture_path = get_pic_url($CURRENT_PIC_DATA, 'fullsize');
        }
        $picture_path_full = $CONFIG['fullpath'] . $CURRENT_PIC_DATA['filepath'] . $CURRENT_PIC_DATA['filename'];
    $discuss_name = htmlspecialchars($CURRENT_PIC_DATA['filename']);
    $discuss = "http://www.path_to_your_phpbbforum/posting.php?mode=newtopic&f=[insert the number of the forum where you want to add the Posting without the "[]"]&subject=$discuss_name&message=[url=http://www.path_to_your_album/$picture_path_full][img]http://www.path_to_your_album/$picture_path&#91/img][/url]";

If your album contains files with " "'s in the filename you may need to use the "urlencode"-funktion.
Ask me if you have problems.
