Simple image gallery

This is actually a php article and not a block, but I figured it would work here. I wrote it because I needed to have an image gallery now and I didn't like anything else that I could find that's out there. I don't want people to add comments or ratings or to keep track of how many times it is viewed. I just want a simple image gallery where people can look at the photos I've collected.

I started with the gallery from mk_portal, but did a whole lot of altering of the code. About all that's left of the mk_portal code is the naming conventions of the files, the creation of the thumbnails, and the idea of "father" categories. When you upload an image (only one file at a time), it creates a thumbnail, renames the file and adds the information to the database. You can also edit the accompanying text for each image, delete the image, and create, move, delete, rename and reorder the categories. On the main category page, it displays a random image from that category and all the subcategories. As you go through the full-sized images, it displays the previous and next thumbnails, as well as "breadcrumbs" for where you've been and where you can go, category-wise. If the image is too large to fit nicely on a page, it resizes the image (just by the html tag), and makes the image clickable so you can open a separate window and get the real size photo.

I had my site password protected, but undid it so people could see the image gallery. This site is far, far from done.  :) You won't be able to see the admin functions, but you can see what a user would see.

I didn't really intend this to be for anyone but me, so I didn't include code to create the database tables. You'll need to do that yourself within phpMyAdmin or something. You'll need two tables:

Table name: gallery
Fields:
gallery_id -- type: int(11) -- auto_increment
gallery_cat_id -- type: int(11)
title -- type: varchar(255)
description -- type: text
file -- type: text
date -- int(10)

Table name: gallery_cats
Fields:
gallery_cat_id -- type: int(11) -- auto_increment
gallery_cat -- type: varchar(255)
sort_order -- int(4)
father -- int(10)

Create a php page and paste the following into it. You'll need to change all the instances of page=7 to match whatever the page number is that you're using. Probably the easiest way to do this is to first paste the code into a text editor and do a search-and-replace.
global  $scripturl, $cat_name, $cat_parent, $child_cats, $cat_order, $nbsp;

$thumb = "t_$rfile";
$pic = $randomrecord['gallery_id'];
echo '<center><a href="' . $scripturl . '?page=7;pic=' . $pic . '"><img src="/album/' . $thumb . '" border="0" alt="" /></a></center>';


Again, you'll want to replace page=7 with your actual page number.

At the moment, only admins and global moderators can do any adding, editing or deleting. I'll probably eventually be expanding it so that users can add their own images, but I may make that a completely separate gallery. I just got some ideas today that I have to contemplate for a while.

This would really only be good for people who are starting with a small image gallery. Uploading hundreds of images, one at a time, would be a real pain. But I thought someone might get some use from it and maybe someone else could come up with a mass import script for it.

I like your site map.  I gotz to get me one of those  ;)

The big one or the little "Contents" block?

The big one is just a php article. I would have made it an html article, but I wanted to have the current membership count on there without having to constantly update it.

The little Contents block is just an html block. Nothing fancy. I chose that instead of using the site map block thing because I wanted more control over it... and because I made it before the site map block was available. ;) I am thinking that I should change the -- at the beginnings of lines to bullets like are in the userbox, though. Consistency and all that. Mostly, though the little one is a temporary thing for me to be able to get to pages easily. Eventually, all that will be in drop-down menus.

akulion, I'd love to see what you have. :)

londonhogfan

both, but Im gonna have to make one of those php pages for my site.  Sometimes I even forget everything on the site  :o

did you use SSi for the forum members count?  happen to know the code off the top of your head?

I didnt mean to hijack your thread... sorry.

JPDeni

It's okay. :)

Actually, it's not even SSI for the number of members. I just started with

global $modSettings;

and used

$modSettings['totalMembers']

where I wanted the number to print out. Here's the whole sentence where I used it:

echo '<p><a href="index.php?action=forum"><b>Forums</b></a> - active discussion with ' . $modSettings['totalMembers'] . ' members.'

I know what you mean about forgetting what you have. At the current site (which I'm switching to SMF/TP), the members seem to forget there's anything but the message board. That's a main reason for changing everything -- so I can keep the rest of the site in front of the members' faces. :)

i tried out the gallery didn't really work well for me. I added the tables added a new php article and changed all the page=7 to my page # pretty much everything you said.

Problems I have are:
When I try to upload an image it renames the image to t_a_1.jpg t_a_2.jpg etc. So I then just tried to manually upload the images to my album folder and rename them to t_a_1.jpg etc.... They then display but they don't resize or anything, they show in there full size and push each other off the page.

Dunno if I'm doing something wrong or what but just thought I'd let you know xD

QuoteSo I then just tried to manually upload the images to my album folder and rename them to t_a_1.jpg etc....
Actually, the script renames the files to a_1.jpg and then it creates a thumbnail named t_a_1.jpg. If you're going to do it by hand, then you'll have to create your own thumbnails in addition to uploading the files. Which pretty much negates the point of the script. I got tired of creating thumnails. :)

Quotepretty much everything you said.
It's gotta be all or nothing. "Pretty much" won't work.

QuoteI had my site password protected, but undid it so people could see the image gallery. This site is far, far from done.  Smiley You won't be able to see the admin functions, but you can see what a user would see.

Not sure if it have some thing to do with that im on remote connection, but i cant get in to your site or image gallery, I get a popup with a question for username and password  :-\

I know. I needed to protect it again. Sorry. I'm really close to it going "live" and I don't want the members to see it before it's ready. It's all supposed to be a big surprise. :-)

Edited to add:

It just occurred to me that I used the same type of code at my existing site. It's not TP (or even SMF, for that matter), but it's the same structure as is on my new SMF/TP site, so if you wanted to get an idea of what it looks like, you can. I just modified the code from my TP page to put it on a stand-alone php page.
