CpmFetch 1.4 On... Displaying data and images from CPG on your website

[grafx77]

Vuud.....im sure this wont be a hard question to answer compared to all the other complex topics you cover here. I am simply trying to change the border width and color for CPM Fetch. I followed the instructions listed here: http://www.fistfullofcode.com/projects/copperminefetch/tips.php but to no avail.

My code looks like this on the cpmfetch.php file, line 699

Code Select Expand

function cpm_viewRandomMediaFromAlbum ($rows, $columns, $albumid, $options="" ("imagestyle" => "test1"));) {

I've even tried this as well, exactly as posted on the above link:

Code Select Expand

cpm_viewRandomMediaFromAlbum(2,2,17,array("imagestyle" => "test1"));

I used the exact same stylesheet and names according to the link above, but I keep getting parse errors. Can you please let me know what I am doing wrong?

Did you include a css stylesheet in your page defining those?

The imagestyle tag only adds it into the html cpmfetch generates - it does not define it anywhere in the page.  That is up to you.

Hello!

I have integrated cpmfetch (v. 1.6.2) to my coppermine gallery (v. 1.4.8 ) and tried to running cftest.php. It works, but only partially. The url of the image seems indeed correct, but i missing the thumbnails. My gallery is installed in the root-directory and i have set the directory variable with a slash. In the image path i missing the url of my site, because in the path i have two slashes. The path of the thumbnails looks like this:

Code Select Expand

img  src="//albums/userpics/10008/thumb_PIC00157.jpg

whereas the url to the full image is correctly:

Code Select Expand

/displayimage.php?pos=-289

The url of my site is: www.clickfreepic.de

What can i do to got a right image path?

PS. Sorry for my poor english!

[grafx77]

Did you include a css stylesheet in your page defining those?

Yes, I included a .css stylesheet named imagestyle.css within the cpmfetch folder, exactly like the link I provided in the last thread.

The imagestyle tag only adds it into the html cpmfetch generates - it does not define it anywhere in the page.  That is up to you.

I am only trying to define the tag for cpm_viewRandomMediaFromAlbum as quoted on my last thread. Is there anything wrong with the code? I have tried several attempts with no luck. Can you help?

I've seen this before...  I think.  You could try searching the forums here for the answer.  When I remember what causes this I will repost if you have not found it.

While the style sheet is not being set on the image, so there is somethign in the call you are

Can you post up the full chunk of php that is making that image appear?  I know you posted the one line before, but we are missing something.  Also, what effect are you trying to get out of it (borders, text bolded, etc)

Thanks

I am simply wanting to change the border color and border pixel width. It doesn't match my site as of now.

Let me see if im reading this correctly. You want me to post the entire code for cpmfetch.php? I just want to make sure because, it is a very long piece of code.

Heh, no - the PHP code you put into your page that is not working.  I have the code for cpmfetch.

ok....I hope this is what you need.

Did you modify the cpmfetch.php file or something?  Why?  There should be NOTHING in there you need to touch.  NOTHING. 

Everything you need to change you can do from your php page.  That is code I need... the part you added into your own page.

[David McKim]

Ok so I went here http://www.fistfullofcode.com/projects/copperminefetch/tests/test3.php

and I want to display the image description (dont know if it's possible.) but also the rating, and views. But it seems I can only have either rating or views, not both. How can I have all three of these displayed on my site?

Also, how can I change their text size and or colors for the font of (views, rated, description) and where can I edit to make those fonts centered or position them differently? Right now the default text is black.

OK.........first, I already told you that it was the cpmfetch.php file that I added the css style value to. I am not trying to modify your script, so why such hostility?

I have been trying to follow the instructions on this link: http://www.fistfullofcode.com/projects/copperminefetch/tips.php
The link does not specify a file of any sort in which I add the css value to. The only file that had the "cpm_viewRandomMediaFromAlbum" value was cpmfetch.php, so I automatically assumed that it was the cpmfetch.php file that I had to add the css value to. I am just trying to follow your directions on the posted link. NOTHING more, NOTHING less.

The cpmfetch is currently showing within a module found here: http://dev.sirronald.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=5&Itemid=3 . If there is a file within cpmfetch that I need to adjust in order to change the border, please let me know. If I am asking the wrong person for help......well, sorry to waste your time.

No hostility, I just want to stress that mucking around in there is going to break things and to clarify anything you need to do can be done from outside.  If you want to modify you can - its opensource, I don't care.

You want to add the css settings to the cascading style sheet for the page you are on.  This is different for all sites.  If you don't know where to put CSS stuff, then check some sites on making web pages or something.  You can add it directly to your html / php page or you can add it to a seperate file and include it - but none of that has anything to do with cpmfetch.  Cute with the NOTHINGS...  I'd reiterate that mine were not hostility, but emphasis.

No there is no file you need to adjust in cpmfetch.  According to that specific page, the file you want to add the css code into is:

http://dev.sirronald.com/templates/js_smoothportal_black/css/template_css.css

Now I can't see the code you are using to pull out the image, so I can't show you exactly what you want to use - but basically:

Code Select Expand


<?php 
include "./cpmfetch/cpmfetch.php";
$objCpm = new cpm("/gallery");
$objCpm->cpm_viewRandomMedia(1,1,array("tablestyle" => "test1","imagestyle" => "test1"));
$objCpm->cpm_close();
?>


I don't know anything about Joomba, so YMMV... and the above uses my settings, I can't see what yours are - so...

Ok Vuud.....here is exactly what I have.

My stylesheet for the module is located here: http://largedogbreedz.com/modules/imagestyle.css

The module "mod_randomcpg.php" looks like this originally, which I'm sure you already know:

$cpmFetch  = $params->get('cpmFetch');

$objCpm = new cpm($gallery); 
$objCpm->cpm_viewRandomMedia(1,1, $options); 
$objCpm->cpm_close();
echo "</center>";

?>

I added the css style to the $objCpm->cpm_viewRandomMedia(1,1, $options); value so that it looks like this:

Still no change in border color. I do not understand why.

Still no change in border color. I do not understand why.

From what I can see it is because you still have not told the web browser where the test1 css information can be found.  Everything else you have done seems to be correct now.

Go to your page in your favorite or any web brower and do, view source.  In the HEAD section (at the top) look for this line.  This is a line that tells your browser where to get its css information from.

Code Select Expand

link href="http://largedogbreedz.com/templates/box_rain_brown/css/template_css.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"

You need to do one of the following:
1) Tell the browser where your code is by adding this sort of line
2) Add your test css information from your file into the one above.

This site has more information than I could type on CSS, if you have questions on it.
http://www.smartwebby.com/web_site_design/css_styles_tutorial.asp


Once you do this (Add recommened #2 for simplicity sake) you should be okay.

I never got my main question answered  :-\

Where do I define the css page? On my site? or somewhere in the cpmfetch? I tried defining it but it didn't work, I just got an error.

I thought we were rid of you

Sorry, missed your post somehow.

Everything you want to do uses submitting options to cpmfetch
http://www.fistfullofcode.com/projects/copperminefetch/manual/ch06.html

and I want to display the image description (dont know if it's possible.) but also the rating, and views. But it seems I can only have either rating or views, not both. How can I have all three of these displayed on my site?

Submit the subtitle option as shown here
http://www.fistfullofcode.com/projects/copperminefetch/manual/ch06s03.html

'subtitle' => '%c has the miserable rating of %V and has unfortunately been looked at %h times'

Also, how can I change their text size and or colors for the font of (views, rated, description) and where can I edit to make those fonts centered or position them differently? Right now the default text is black.

You need to submit css names to cpmfetch for the different parts:
http://www.fistfullofcode.com/projects/copperminefetch/manual/ch06s02.html

CSS gets defined in your web page, or referenced from your web page by a LINK statement.  See the postings above this one for some more information I posted on it.

I hope that all helps
