Hello, I had a question from another thread, which I must have confused a lot of people. so I would like to start fresh here.
link to previous threadhttp://forum.coppermine-gallery.net/index.php/topic,51245.0.html (http://forum.coppermine-gallery.net/index.php/topic,51245.0.html)
objective: to do string manipulation after obtaining the full url to the intermediary pictures
Example: mysite.com/album/uploads/pic1/picture1.jpg
Where: use it in theme.php
From the previous thread with the help from the fellow members:
I tried making a new function in theme.php
function newfunction()
{
global $lang_picinfo, $CURRENT_PIC_DATA;
$picture_url = get_pic_url($CURRENT_PIC_DATA, 'normal');
$name = 'http://mysite.com/' . $picture_url;
return $name;
}
Then I assign the function to a variable:
$picture_path=newfunction();
Then to display the result, I put it into $template_display_media, just after the EOT
$template_display_media = <<<EOT
$picture_path
..
..
But I keep getting a blank output.
would appreciate the help
thanks
