add new link to thumbnail view {LINK_TGT_DETAILS} ??

[ravenlife]

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'

Code Select Expand

'{LINK_TGT}' => $thumb['picurl'] . "\" rel=\"shadowbox",

and in functions.inc.php

Code Select Expand

$pic_fullsize_url =  get_pic_url($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

Code Select Expand

'{LINK_TGT}' => "displayimage.php?album=$aid$cat_link&pos={$thumb['pos']}$uid_link",

i tried creating

Code Select Expand

'{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

Code Select Expand

'{DETAILS}' => "<a href=\"displayimage.php?album=$aid$cat_link&amp;pos={$thumb['pos']}$uid_link\">Details</a>",

then i opened up theme.inc.php

adn copied the following into my theme.php file

Code Select Expand

// 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">&nbsp;</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

Code Select Expand

{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
