Hi Guys,
well i am currently working on a client site implementing coppermine for the first time, it is really a great gallery and im not sure why i have never looked at it before.
let me first explain what i am doing
i have integrated coppermine 1.4 with joomla 1.5.6 (i did find a possible bug - ill post that elsewhere)
i have modified an existing theme (blackbirch) and implemented some changes to get the gallery working with ninjaforge.com's shadowbox plugin
code change is in blackbirch/theme.php in the 'function theme_display_thumbnails'
'{LINK_TGT}' => $thumb['picurl'] . "\" rel=\"shadowbox",
and in functions.inc.php
$pic_fullsize_url = get_pic_url($row, 'normal');
now this works brilliantly and my thumbnails now open the intemediate image in a shadowbox. which is exactly what i want. but i now want to modify shadowbox to display a "details" link when it opens.
i know how to make the customisation to shadowbox to do this (i made the plugin)
what i dont know is how to get the link from coppermine.
my question is a simple one and please dont worry yourself about how i will get it into shadowbox.
how do i create a link on the thumnails view (below the thumbnail) that links to the original intemediate page
old code was
'{LINK_TGT}' => "displayimage.php?album=$aid$cat_link&pos={$thumb['pos']}$uid_link",
i tried creating
'{LINK_TGT_DETAILS}' => "displayimage.php?album=$aid$cat_link&pos={$thumb['pos']}$uid_link",
but i dont know how to then get this into the view.
if someone could give me a push in the right direction, i would be greatful.
thanks
Richie
p.s,
when completed i will post the full details of the modification (and the shadowbox mod) so that others may use it if they like
okay i think i figured it out
in my theme.php file i added this line
'{DETAILS}' => "<a href=\"displayimage.php?album=$aid$cat_link&pos={$thumb['pos']}$uid_link\">Details</a>",
then i opened up theme.inc.php
adn copied the following into my theme.php file
// HTML template for thumbnails display
if (!isset($template_thumbnail_view)) { //{THEMES}
$template_thumbnail_view = <<<EOT
<!-- BEGIN header -->
<tr>
<!-- END header -->
<!-- BEGIN thumb_cell -->
<td valign="top" class="thumbnails" width ="{CELL_WIDTH}" align="center">
<table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td align="center">
<a href="{LINK_TGT}">{THUMB}<br /></a>
{CAPTION}
{ADMIN_MENU}
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
<!-- END thumb_cell -->
<!-- BEGIN empty_cell -->
<td valign="top" class="thumbnails" align="center"> </td>
<!-- END empty_cell -->
<!-- BEGIN row_separator -->
</tr>
<tr>
<!-- END row_separator -->
<!-- BEGIN footer -->
</tr>
<!-- END footer -->
<!-- BEGIN tabs -->
<tr>
<td colspan="{THUMB_COLS}" style="padding: 0px;">
<table width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr>
{TABS}
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
<!-- END tabs -->
<!-- BEGIN spacer -->
<img src="images/spacer.gif" width="1" height="7" border="" alt="" /><br />
<!-- END spacer -->
EOT;
} //{THEMES}
i then added this line to it
{DETAILS}
this will place said link undenieth the gallery - i added it to the above code so you can see where i put it
now just to put that in shadowbox and im well away
will let you guys know when its done
thanks
Richie
