good work Frantz!

[François Keller]

Thak's Lontano for your contribution.
I'll add your file in the pack

[Hein Traag]

Goodmorning,

installed this neat little plugin to my CPG.

I added the changed files for the dutch lang version to this post.
The file dutch.php contains the translations. Codebase.php needs some editing as wel.
Change:

Code Select Expand

echo '<tr><td class="tableb">' .$date. ": $number". $lang_plugin_update_history['new_files'].(($number > 1) ? 's' : '').$lang_plugin_update_history['update_file']."<a href=\"thumbnails.php?album={$album_info['aid']}\">$album</a>".$lang_plugin_update_history['by'] ;

Into:

Code Select Expand

[code] echo '<tr><td class="tableb">' .$date. ": $number". $lang_plugin_update_history['new_files'].(($number > 1) ? '(en)' : '').$lang_plugin_update_history['update_file']."<a href=\"thumbnails.php?album={$album_info['aid']}\">$album</a>".$lang_plugin_update_history['by'] ;
[/code]

It changes the s which is used to add to the word file so it spells files into (en) which is used to add to bestand so it spells bestand(en).

I do get to see the catlist twice now. Any idea why that is ? I think it has something to do with the order in which the plugins are loaded into CPG. I will try something out in the sort list of the plugins and let you know.
**UPDATE** I had the same dual catlist when i installed the Onlinestats plugin. I placed that one on top of the plugin list and the Updates plugin underneath it. Now i see 1 catlist as usual. Problem solved.

Cheers!
Hein

[François Keller]

Your right, for language who don't use  the "s" for the plural you must change the code in codebase.php

[Hein Traag]

Frantz,

the plugin provides a way to show the updates to registered or admins only.
But is it also possible to show the updates to guest users but then without the information of which user uploaded the new pictures ? So guest users only get to see the added updates to the CPG.

Cheers!
Hein

[François Keller]

Hein,

Yes it' seems to be possible. I'll look at this when i find  time.
Thank's for your contribution foe dutch lang file (will be added to the pack)

i know it has something to do with this line

Code Select Expand

if ($u > 0) $links[] = "<a href=\"profile.php?uid=$u\">". get_username($u) ."</a>";

Somewhere in that line USER_ID has to be added. I tried adding it a couple of times but can not find the right way to insert it. If do, by a stroke of luck, get it done i'll post here (unless you are faster  )

Cheers!
Hein

[François Keller]

Hein,

Try with the codebase.php attached

[Hein Traag]

Frantz,

thanks for the new codebase. It worked! I attached the dutch version of codebase.php for registered users on this post.

Kind regards,
Hein

Got 2 quick questions relating to this mod and I hope it is ok to post them here-

#1 how to change the description on the box? It states "Recent Update" and I want it to say "Recent Gallery Updates" since there is more than one update or something to that effect-

#2 how can I remove the user protion of the code? So it will not say 20 files into album by user (I just want to drop the "by user" because it comes up on the second line since my table is not 100% and it would look nicer if I could drop that and keep it on 1 single line)

[François Keller]

question 1: make the change in the lang/english.php file

question 2: in codebase.php search this code and comment it

if ($u > 0) $links[] = $lang_plugin_update_history['by']."<a href=\"profile.php?uid=$u\">". get_username($u) ."</a>";

[Farnsi]

Thanks for this plugin, it is really great!
I attached the a german version of the files, with the activated option "for registered users".

I have one question, is there a chance to change the mod in that way, that it is only shown on the index page?

[François Keller]

Thank's for your contribution. Your langage file will be added in the orignal pack as soon as possible.done

I have one question, is there a chance to change the mod in that way, that it is only shown on the index page?

I don't understant what you mean. The update history box is only shown on the index page. 

[Farnsi]

unfortunately not, the box is also shown inside the categories. and i would prefer to have it shown only on the mainpage.
to my gallery

[Joachim Müller]

The category pages are being displayed using index.php as well. You'll have to add a switch the checks if $cat==0 if you want it to only show on the root category page.

[Farnsi]

sounds logical, thanks, but unfortunatly i'm not a good coder so could you tell me how and where to put this switch?
or should i post this question in a new thread?  :-\

[François Keller]

try this:
in codebase.php find

Code Select Expand

GLOBAL $CONFIG, $matches;
replace with

Code Select Expand

GLOBAL $CONFIG, $matches,$cat;

Code Select Expand

if($matches[1] != 'updatehistory'{
replace with

Code Select Expand

if($matches[1] != 'updatehistory'|| !$cat==0 ) {

[Farnsi]

thanks a lot! works perfect!

[Hein Traag]

Frantz,

i am using, trying to, the plugin on my personal CPG. It's using the MorpheusX Blue theme from DaMysterious.
When i try to install the Update History plugin it comes back with this:

Code Select Expand


Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /kill-9.be/users/hop/public_html/cpg/plugins/update_history/codebase.php on line 101

Any idea what might be causing that ?
