Problem showing pictures from a few catagories

[madhatt]

Ok,

I have a issue where I want to use cpmfetch to grab all pics in a catagory called "outdoor pics" this is cat. 22

I want to show only pictures from this catagory. so I used the following code

Code Select Expand

<?php
  include "../gallery/cpmfetch/cpmfetch.php";
  $objCpm = new cpm("./gallery/cpmfetch/cpmfetch_config.php");
  $objCpm->cpm_viewRandomMediaFrom("cat=22",5,1);
  $objCpm->cpm_close();
?>

This does not work, for some reason it will not pull the pictures from this gallery and just leads to a empty page.

THE ODD THING.

if I use the exact same code but replace cat. 22 with another number like 3 it works just find!?!

Code Select Expand

<?php
  include "../gallery/cpmfetch/cpmfetch.php";
  $objCpm = new cpm("./gallery/cpmfetch/cpmfetch_config.php");
  $objCpm->cpm_viewRandomMediaFrom("cat=3",5,1);
  $objCpm->cpm_close();
?>

Can anyone help me with this?

I suspect it is because you have categories inside that category.  So technically, you have no images that match 22 for a category.

I get photos, then link them to an album, then link that to a category I believe.

You would have to specific the sub categories specifically...

"cat=2,3,4,5,6,7"

I am not sure how I would even fix the multiple category scenario...  But I will add it to my list

That worked just fine, thanks a ton.

I have another question.  it would be nice if I could configure cpmfetch to have the shadow boxes like the rest of the pics on my site that are pulled from coppermine.


Thank you so much for your help

That's not a question.  Its a statement.

But anyway, yes it would be nice.  However, probably will not happen with cpmfetch directly.  Isn't there a way to do that without building a whole table around it?

I have to belive that there is a way to do it...  If there is, you could set a CSS tag to the cpmfetch call for the TD. 

Anyway, if you are dead set on it, you can extend CpmFetch yourself... get back a lovely array of photos, then code up the whole thing around it.  If you are decent with PHP, it should be trivial. 

You want to set the resulttype to be a resultset

then do a print_r on the array you get back to get an idea of what is in there.

After that it should be easy to do.

It is a cool effect.

Has an example of the resultset data at the bottom.
