Iframe include

[ArturO]

Im sorry for my bad english
I have a "small" problem with cpg130 .
I figuered out that it isn't possible to php-include the album-page into my page maintable.
Im serving an fishing-site and i want to publish my pictures on a page (.html) starting with a description followed by a iframe, including the fish-pictures.
But i dont want the whole album to be displayed. I just wannt the the pictures to be shown ,without all the buttons, footers and headers ect...

Example:
http://arturo.funpic.de/cgi-bin/fotos/thumbnails.php?album=25
There are 4 Pictures and the Headline "ZANDER".
I dont want the rest to be shown in the iframe.

Is there any way to realize my idea.
Thanks ... ArturO

To include the images you'll need some sort of backend script. If I understand you're page type correctly, just a static .HTML page won't work. I think you know how your server reads files, so whatever you have set to include...

Use an RSS feed http://forum.coppermine-gallery.net/index.php?topic=8462.0. I recommend the MagpieRSS - http://magpierss.sourceforge.net/, it's simple to use and include into CM. It can all show the info you want, and I don't think it would be hard to customize it into an iFrame. I've modified my version a little to make file size smaller and the xml rss.php more streamlined. I can post directions if you are interested. -T

I hoped the cpg is put together from different .php files. So i could display the right part in an iframe or even include it via php.
First of all i dont know what RSS is or stands for.

[skybax]

RSS is a format for syndicating content from a content related site.

There are other ways to show the pictures and related info on other pages, but you'll need to setup a script that pretty much does the same thing as RSS. Where it accesses the database to gather information on the particular image and then passes that data to your formated HTML.

I pulled my rss parser and put together a quick archive with the required files to add and a short install doc. Download it from here:http://www.skybax.com/products/simpleRSS.zip

Hope this helps. It's ready to upload and put to work... no addition to other files in CM.

[ArturO]

Thank you for your help.
I downloaded the files and tryed to install them.
First of all i failed to setup the script and im not sure if this is what im searching for.
There are lots of errors when im trying to display rss.php or rss_simple.php
Can u please discribe what the script will be like when setup correctly.
i found the the following line

$album = 'Zander'; // pick a group or single album by #
$thumb_count = 1; // how many thumbnails to display
$album_name = "Zander";

What if i want to show another album with another fish on another site....

Im also not sure if i have filled in all required fields or if they are correct.

Im thankig you for your support

ok the way to fix this... I had to work today, so it's taken me a while to get back to you on this. The get_pic_data($album, $thumb_count, $album_name, $lower_limit, $thumb_per_page); function is located in the functions.inc.php file inside of the include folder.... I had to look through this to figure out that: to call a particular album you have to use the album id (find the # by either display image... or login into the mysql db and look under albums)... now the catch is (this threw me off too) when you put the number in. DO NOT use quotes... i spent the last 20 mins on that one... and i should have known... anyways. If you call that particular album then the rss.php file will only be good for that album. Make sense?

so basically find this:

Code Select Expand

$album = 'Zander'; // pick a group or single album by #
$thumb_count = 1; // how many thumbnails to display
$album_name = "Zander";
$lower_limit = 0;
$thumb_per_page = 1;
$rss_author = "skybax";

and replace with this:

Code Select Expand

$album = 25; // pick a group or single album by #
$thumb_count = 1; // how many thumbnails to display
$album_name = "";
$lower_limit = 0;
$thumb_per_page = 1;
$rss_author = "arturO";

An example file is located:
http://www.sheererotic.com/imgdb/rss.php *pages @ this url may contain nudity.

Don't forget to use a require command to call the rss_simple.php to your page to parse.

Just as a quick note to anyone reading... If you have special characters in your album title or gallerie description it will cause the following errors:

The XML page cannot be displayed Cannot view XML input using XSL style sheet. Please correct the error and then click the Refresh button, or try again later.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Whitespace is not allowed at this location. Error processing resource 'http://arturo.funpic.de/cgi-bin/fotos/rss.php';. Line 11, Position 27

<description>Title & words
--------------------^

Two ways to fix this:

1. Change the title on the album or gallerie.
2. Or edit rss.php and search for:

Code Select Expand

<description>$CONFIG[gallery_description] - $album_name</description>
change to:

Code Select Expand

<description>$album_name</description>

or

<description>No Description</description>



EDIT: again to solve this topic - it turned out that the webhost ArturO is using is attatching some sort of "hidden" counter script to every page. I think this is partly to prevent hotlinking... but any actions like this from a webserver will crash this script (and other scripts and mods in CM as well)  -T

I have a problem with the rss_simple script
Errors @ http://arturo.ar.funpic.de/index.php?angelberichte=1&id=10

When i change the album# into something other the old pictures remain. For some reason no other pictures are displayed.

Here are the codes
