Displaying the date coppermine was last updated on the frontpage

colinmann · September 10, 2006, 07:59:51 PM

Sorry,

This is driving me wild. The plugin looks great, but I've got a question: how can I display, on the front page of my site, when the gallery was last updated? There must be an easy way, but I can't see it anywhere. All I want is it in the format "09 September 2006" or however.

Thanks in advance,
Cheers, Colin

For now, you would have to retrieve the last added photo and draw the date field from it and format it however you wanted to.

Something like:

$objCpm->cpm_setReturnType("resultset");
$data = $objCpm->cpm_viewLastAddedMedia(1,1);
$row = $data[0];
$time = date(,'d-M-Y',$row['pCtime']);

print $time;

Well something like that anyway... YMMV, I did not try it, but it should work

Hi, sorry - but why does this page: http://www.colinmann.com/photos/plugins/cpmfetch/cftest.php give this error:

Fatal error: Cannot instantiate non-existent class: cpm in /home/cjmann/public_html/photos/plugins/cpmfetch/cftest.php on line 6

Thanks

Normally something like that is due to a bad path in the include statement for cpmfetch... but since the cpmfetch.php is probably in the same directory, that does not make much sense. Did you upload everything into that directory?

yes I did, everything is uploaded into www.colinmann.com/photos/plugins/cpmfetch/

Any ideas? Thanks in advance

By the way - the contents of the file is as follows:

<html>
<body>

<?php
   include "http://www.colinmann.com/photos/plugins/cpmfetch/cpmfetch.php";
   $objCpm = new cpm("/photos");
   $objCpm->cpm_setReturnType("resultset");
   $data = $objCpm->cpm_viewLastAddedMedia(1,1);
   $row = $data[0];
   $time = date('d-M-Y',$row['pCtime']);
   $objCpm->cpm_close();
   print $time;

?>

</body>
</html>

try not using the url for the include file...

If you are in the same directory use this
include "./cpmfetch.php";

Some web servers may not allow the loading by url thing...

I am confused... you said this is cftest.php, but I don't have this sort of stuff in my test file.
