[bit bit spears]

hey everyone! i have run into a problem while modding my midsize image display (what you would call "displayimage.php").

i have tried modding it to look like this:

this section is labelled "filmstrip" in Coppermine. Adjust your theme by looking into theme.php, search for the "filmstrip" definition and move it around accordingly.

[bit bit spears]

ok i've gotten further, and played around with the code, but it just won't work!

I'm almost for certain that this is what i need to edit, but i can't edit it right-i just doesn't work.
(in functions.inc.php)

Code Select Expand


function display_film_strip($album, $cat, $pos)
{
        global $CONFIG, $AUTHORIZED, $HTTP_GET_VARS;
        global $album_date_fmt, $lang_display_thumbnails, $lang_errors, $lang_byte_units;
        $max_item=$CONFIG['max_film_strip_items'];
        //$thumb_per_page = $pos+$CONFIG['max_film_strip_items'];
        $thumb_per_page = $max_item*2;
        $l_limit = max(0,$pos-$CONFIG['max_film_strip_items']);
        $new_pos=max(0,$pos-$l_limit);

        $pic_data = get_pic_data($album, $thumb_count, $album_name, $l_limit, $thumb_per_page);

        $i=$l_limit;
        if (count($pic_data) > 0) {
                foreach ($pic_data as $key => $row) {
                        $hi =(($pos==($i + $lower_limit)) ? '1': '');
                        $i++;


What i want to do is have a maximum of 3 images in the film strip, but remove the current image from that, now leaving 2 images, a back and next image. (refer to the first picture posted) can anyone please help me?

[Tranz]

In config, you can set the number of images that display, so you don't have to code that. As for hiding the current image, you could use a conditional so that the current image doesn't get displayed in the filmstrip.

i'm not that good at php, can you show me what a conditional is? and where to put it into the code?

[kegobeer]

Conditional statements are like this:  if ($somevariable) then ...

Visit the online php documentation at www.php.net for more info.

i understand that, but i don't understand the meaning of the variables in that code that i posted. i know that gaugau wants us to have fun coding and figuring stuff out, but i have reached my maximum coding ability. If someone out there knows how to hide the current image, can you please post?
