Add all pictures/files from a particular album to your favorites

[Αndré]

Because a user asked in the german support board, if there exists a plugin that can add all pictures from an album to your favorites, I created this small plugin.

It adds a star icon to the thumbnail view title row (next to the album name). When you click on that star, all files of the current album are added to your favorites.

[Edit GauGau 2010-03-03]
This plugin has been added to the subversion repository: http://coppermine.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/coppermine/branches/cpg1.4.x/plugins/album_addfav

It has been updated as well to reflect the version checking routines in the plugin manager that are meant to make sure that galleries don't break because of plugins installed that aren't meant for that particular version of the gallery.

Nice one - created a corresponding record on the plugins page and added the file to the downloads section at sf.net.

Hi,
i've got a little problem with downloading larger zip files (e.g. flv videos). I'd like to custumize the plugin to add only jpg's files to the favourites.
eenemeenemuu already explained that the according code line in album_addfav.php is:

Code Select Expand

$result = cpg_db_query("SELECT pid FROM {$CONFIG['TABLE_PICTURES']} WHERE aid = {$_GET['album']}");

How do i exactly have to modify the code line to only add jpg files to the favourites?

Thanks a lot!

Jens

In album_addfav.php, change

Code Select Expand

$result = cpg_db_query("SELECT pid FROM {$CONFIG['TABLE_PICTURES']} WHERE aid = {$_GET['album']}");
to

Code Select Expand

$result = cpg_db_query("SELECT pid FROM {$CONFIG['TABLE_PICTURES']} WHERE aid = {$_GET['album']} AND filename LIKE '%.jpg'");

eenemeenemuu I cant see any stars, can you post a screenshot of where the star is supposed to appear please?
Also, it's not dependent on a certain theme is it?

Thank you,
Darron.

Please review my first post. There is a screenshot and version 1.1 attached.

If it still doesn't work for your theme, please post a link to your gallery.

The plugin searches for the string:

Code Select Expand

<td width="100%" class="statlink">*</td>
(which encloses be the album name as seen in the screenshot) and add the star behind the album name.

Also, it's not dependent on a certain theme is it?

my website is....

It works for at least all standard themes. If I should work with your custom theme, I need access to the thumbnail page to have a look of the html output.

it worked this time, thank you.
Although I did have to create an album in plugins called /album_addfav and copy all the plugin files into there.

Sorry, my fault. Plugin package updated in first post.

Hi, I can't get this plugin to run on my page (www.familie-delling.de/pict; use ID: "temp", PW. "nopwd" to log in).
When trying to install, I just get the error message "There was an error while processing a database query." Any idea what this could be?

Thanks a lot for your help!

Best, Peter

[Αndré]

Please enable debug mode and copy the real error message.

[peterlustig]

Wow -- thanks a lot for the quick reaction!

ok, mayby I have to go for the longer story. I already had the plugin installed once, but whenever clicking on an album afterwards I just got a totally blank page as result. That's why I de-installed the plugin.
Now I when wanted to re-install, I had the problem described above, and thanks to your hint of using debug mode, I got the following error message:

While executing query "insert into cpg14x_plugins (name, path,priority)  values ("Album Addfav","album_addfav2",6);" on 0

mySQL error: Doppelter Eintrag 'Album Addfav' f�r Schl�ssel 'name'

[the German mySQL error says that the key in 'Album Addfav' is doubled] Thus, I assumed that the previous un-install wasn't well completed, so I deleted the folder 'album_addfav' in the \plugin subdir and re-copied it. Now the plugin could be installed, at least the plugin-mgr says so, but I have the known problem blank albums again. I even don't get any output of the debugging console on those blank pages -- maybe you could have a look at it yourself?

Vielen Dank bereits für Deine Hilfe!!

Please delete the appropriate database entry. Now you should be able to install the plugin.

[peterlustig]

sorry, I am a perfect newbie. Which entry would I have to erase? And how can I do this?

[Αndré]

You have to use a database management tool like phpMyAdmin or MySQLDumper. Then go to the table 'plugins' and erase the Album Addfav row.

[peterlustig]

ok, I did so, deleted the Album addfav row via myPHPadmin, uninstalled addfav and then re-installed -- and the same problem is persisting, I get blank white pages when clicking on an album after reinstall.

[Αndré]

It's not possible to uninstall a plugin that has been deleted in the database. After deleting the database record, this plugin is automatically uninstalled.

Anyway, I assume you are doing something wrong. The plugin works without any problems in my gallery. Do you use some other plugins? How do you upload the plugin (http, ftp)?

[peterlustig]

sorry, should have been more exact in my description: had the "addfav"-line deleted via myPHP and then deleted the "album_addfav" directory via ftp.
then uploaded again (a newly unzipped version of the directory "album_addfav") to the plugin folder, installed via pluginmanager, and voila, blank pages are back.

yes, I use some other plugins, but the problem persist also after uninstalling ALL plugins, and only having addfav installed.

[Αndré]

Please open plugins/album_addfav/codebase.php and replace the whole function album_addfav_html with

Code Select Expand

function album_addfav_html($html) {
    $html = str_replace('<td class="sortorder_cell">', '<td><a href="index.php?file=album_addfav/album_addfav&album='.$_GET['album'].'" title="Add album to favorites"><img src="plugins/album_addfav/favorites.png" border="0" /></a>&emsp;</td><td class="sortorder_cell">', $html, $count);
    return $html;
}
