What should I do to show recently added pics?

[natalina]

Hi. I suppose my quest is stupid but I can't get how to act. I have cpmfetch, showing pics from user's category. It works fine but I can' understand what should I do when users create new albums. Should I reinstall CPM in order to show new pics? Or will CPM get it by itself? Thanks a lot for explanation

No, of course not

Or will CPM get it by itself?

Post the code you use. A link to your page might help as well. In fact those two bits of information are vital, or rather: mandatory.

Thank u so much
here is the code:
<?php
echo '<div align="center" style="border: 0; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><h5>some Russian words<br/>some else Russian words</h5>';
  include_once "./cpmfetch/cpmfetch.php";
  $objCpm = new cpm("./cpmfetch/cpmfetch_config.php");
  $objCpm->cpm_setfilter($filter = ".jpg");
  $options = array('windowtarget' => '_blank',"imagewidth"=>"100", "subtitle" => "{{aTitle}}","imagestyle" => "ihomepage",);
  $objCpm->cpm_viewRandomMediaFrom ("cat=1", 4, 1, $options,$filter);
  $objCpm->cpm_close();
  echo "</div>";
  ?>

Before you go any further you need to upgrade fro 1.4.10 to the latest release.

Thank u !As a matter of fact I did - manually, step by step. I use to do it the next day after the version is published & I suppose my quest has nothing in common with this issue.

No, you have not. How could you manually have updated thousands of lines of changed code? The only supported upgrade method is the one we describe in our docs. Do you want me to hack your gallery as a proof of concept?

cpmFetch is not meant to be used on coppermine-driven pages. It is meant to be used on pages that are not coppermine-driven.

The line that needs editing is

Code Select Expand

  $objCpm->cpm_viewRandomMediaFrom ("cat=1", 4, 1, $options,$filter);You sort-of hard-coded the album into that line of code, so you would have to edit that line whenever there is new content. Pull data from the most recent album if you want to display that is new. Use cpm_viewLastAddedMediaFrom

Thank u for your kind explanation:)
