how to limit cpm fetch to display only one file type?

[capecodgal]

I use 2 installs of coppermine on a few of my sites... one for images and another for videos (I like to keep them seperate to have seperate layouts)

Anyways I am hoping this fabulous mod will allow me to limit the display to a certain file type?

With older mods when trying to do a latest videos on my main page I ran into an issue of receiving a red x on the zip files (happened because of the order the files were uploaded, simple fix was to allow upload the zips first and my jpg's last well that gets old after a while LOL)

So I am hoping there is a way to limit cpm fetch to a certain file type in the display?

I have been playing around with it on another site for now until I get the hang of this:

www.Hayden-Collective.net/header2.php

The last example labled Latest By Category is the cpm fetch (other 2 are not yet but will be soon =) )

The code I used in my page was:

Code Select Expand

<?php
  include_once "/home/login/public_html/gallery/cpmfetch/cpmfetch.php";
  $objCpm = new cpm ("/home/login/public_html/gallery/cpmfetch/cpmfetch_config.php");
  $objCpm->cpm_showCategoriesUpdatedOverLastDays(7);
  $objCpm->cpm_close();
?>

So using this as an example for testing purposes- say I only want to display a specific file type what options would I use? Lets say PNG files for this example (my normal would be JPG but I can alter that later)

I have not quite yet gotten the hang of the arrays which may be what I need to master first. I have tried using the documentation but even though it makes sense as I read I keep putting the code in the wrong place and getting parse errors. 

Would you kindly let me know what direction I would need to head in to accomplish the specific file type? I know once I get the arrays the rest will start making more sense.

Look at cpm_setFilter in the doc's for cpmfetch_dao

It does what you want.  You would insert it in after your "new" line and before you call for any images.

i've got this and it doesnt work, i get a parse error:

Code Select Expand

<?php
include "./gallery/cpmfetch/cpmfetch.php";
$objCpm = new cpm("./gallery/cpmfetch/cpmfetch_config.php");
void   cpm_setFilter  ([mixed $filter = ".jpg",".bmp"])
$objCpm->cpm_viewRandomMedia(1,5, array('alttag' => '%t'));
$objCpm->cpm_close();
?>

All i want is picture files to SHOW - i don't want videos, etc to show.. what am i doing wrong?

Sorry, this is the code i'm using and i still get the flv files displayed:

Code Select Expand

<?php
include "./gallery/cpmfetch/cpmfetch.php";
$objCpm = new cpm("./gallery/cpmfetch/cpmfetch_config.php");
$objCpm->cpm_setFilter(array(".jpg"));
$objCpm->cpm_viewRandomMedia(1,5, array('alttag' => '%t'));
$objCpm->cpm_close();
?>

What version of cpmfetch are you using?  ("latest" is not a valid answer)

[yazeft]

copperminefetch-2.0.0

sorry for my impatience and ignorance to the FAQs prior to posting..

have I provided enough info?

all I need is the correct method of placing the 'filter' code using cpgfetch 2.0.0 to only display pics. thanks

Is this suppossed to be a speed-posting contest ?

[capecodgal]

I still have not quite gotten this to work... I edited the cpmfetch_dao.php at line 164 as the documentation states which was

function cpm_setFilter($filter=".jpg")

I added the .jpg in there and it still doesn't work, in fact I can't get it to call from the second install at all.

I have coppermine installed in /photos and /videos directories the /photos works great but the /photos works on the install but not when I include on my php page. I tried changing the name of the config file just incase that could be an issue and that did not do it, also I tried the absolute path and that did not do it either.

Not trying to ask support on a second issue but could the problem be running 2 galleries off the same sql user? I am just trying to make sure what I edited in the cpmfetch_dao.php was correct

[capecodgal]

Just some further information for Vudd,

I reran the install page just incase I had messed up somewhere and it displayed the items correctly and I did only get the .jpg so I think that part is working from the 4 examples I saw.

I'll start a new thread since my other issue is not related, as far as I can tell the original question is solved thanks for the direction sometimes thats all I need

And BTW, I LOVE this mod. Major Kudos to you for creating this, it is so going on all my sites after I get this one sorted out and I'll definately link you somewhere in my credits
