Can I get a parameter from album list of control panel?

[mykee]

Dear developers,

I made a plugin, and I think, I will use this plugin more than once on index.php. Can I use or call this plugin with parameters from album list? Like you: "catlist,4" -> "myplugin,(parameter)"? Ex.: myplugin,rand\myplugin,lastn\myplugin,lastup\alblist ?

Thanks,
Mykee

I don't get what you're asking for. If you want to add different content to the main page, I suggest to use different keywords instead of the same keyword concatenated with another keyword. I'm not sure if this will work at all.

I need use same plugin on index.php, but with different parameters, like coppermine albums (random, latest, etc.). Can I add parameter on configure site or not? (like row numbers: "lastn,4")

Sure, but it's only possible to add numbers, no strings. Have a look at the plugin hook:

Code Select Expand

$matches = CPGPluginAPI::filter('plugin_block', $matches);

I assume we're talking about your "isotope" plugin. If so, you implemented the filter incompletely:

Code Select Expand

function isotope_mainpage()
needs to be

Code Select Expand

function isotope_mainpage($matches)

If you now add something like

Code Select Expand

isotope,42
to the content of the main page, you're able to use that additional number in your isotope_mainpage function.

Code Select Expand

print_r($matches);
will return

Code Select Expand

Array
(
    [0] => isotope,42
    [1] => isotope
    [2] => 42
)
which means, that you can access your additional number via $matches[2].

Thanks for great help! Yes, this is isotope plugin, where I think put latest and random gallery with isotope - more gallery on index page. I will try your help at aftertnoon, and develop this plugin with more function.
I'd like this: if add a parameter, then select more gallery on one page at twice or more, if not add parameter, then select under config what see on frontpage.

Parameter works now. Thanks for help!
(I'm sad: I cannot add one plugin more than once to parameter list. )

I cannot add one plugin more than once to parameter list

Do you mean you cannot enter something like

isotope,1/isotope,4/isotope,12

? As far as I know that should be possible, at least I'm quite sure I tested that with the default options (lastup, etc.).

Hmmm... Working now, if use more than one in parameter list, but isotope script no runned when second gallery showed. TipTip or Adipoli worked, just isotope not.
I will search why not. Thanks!

I rewrited my plugin id's, script, because if use plugin more at once, then category filter and isotope script not worked correctly. Check my website for this solution, this worked. Many thanks for great and usefull help!
If anyone need this plugin, I can publish it, but JQuery licenses is different on each script (Isotope, TipTip, Adipoli and LightBox) what includes in this plugin! Often free for personal use, but for commercial use not. I made this for better gallery start page
