user's album by url http://site.com/gallery/username

[bitcloud]

This mod works great, but I have a small problem...
My users are only allowed one gallery, so, while this mod works perfectly, it would be much better if it linked directly to the first (or only) gallery in the album... The only issue is that this gallery isn't based on the UID like the album page, but the number of galleries created before it...

can anyone suggest any way of modding this mod to link directly to the first/only gallery for any given UID?

(incidentally I had no luck with the rewritemap issue to keep the address in the address bar)

Great mod, but what do you do if the username has a period in it? (e.g. first.last)

Is there a way to redirect everything after "gallery" with no slash that doesn't end in ".php"? In other words, redirect for every character, including the period, as long as it isn't part of ".php".

I've tried:

Code Select Expand

([^\<\.php\>/]+)$

but it doesn't work right. Any help would be appreciated, thanks

Best way is to adopt a different system such as http://site.com/gallery/members/username - then it can't interfere with anything else and you can use a looser regex.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^([^\./]+)$ useralb.php?user=$1

This worked for me as well. Thanks. Spectacular!

Is this will be added or added to coppermine new versions ?

Not scheduled. Probably not.

Wonderful modification, thank you.

Hi All

I've gone over this thread how many times now and I cant seem to get this too work

I'm hosting a site that has the following on server:

Apache 2.2.9
PHP 5.2.5
MYSQL 5.0.51a
Coppermine  v1.4.19 - which is installed at http://mydomain.com

I created the useralb.php page and it contains the following and uploaded it to public_html/ folder

Code Select Expand

<?php
define('IN_COPPERMINE', true);
require('include/init.inc.php');

header('Location: ' . rtrim($CONFIG['ecards_more_pic_target'], '/') .'/index.php?cat='.(get_userid($_GET['user']) + FIRST_USER_CAT));
?>

then I created the .htaccess file which is also uploaded to the public_html folder

Code Select Expand

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^([^\./]+)$ useralb.php?user=$1

I have a category called "User Galleries" and it contains an album called "test20", however, when I browse to the album it shows up as http://www.mydomain.com/index.php?cat=10005 and not http://www.mydomain.com/test20

I really would like to have this feature working, could someone please help tell me what I'm not doing or should be doing.

I'd really appreciate the assistance.

Hi

I have misunderstood this entire thread - I've been under the impression that after applying the changes the url would remain as http://mydomain.com/test20 instead of reverting to http://mydomain.com/index.php?cat=10005. 

I do have this working.  If I type into the browser's address bar http://mydomain.com/test20 it does go to the users gallery.

Many thanks to those involved for making this possible.
