Gallery Request...

[IchBin]

Now I know you will eventually put a gallery in this. But I was wondering if it would be possible to make a block that would display a random photo from the coppermine gallery?

[Bjørn]

I suppose it is, if coppermine has a function for this, it should be easy to do it an a php-block. Just include the file with the function and run that function.

It may be faster to directly take it from the database though...but that will require details on how coppermine stores it.

IchBin, I have done this with my site and yes there is Mod for this in coppermine. Its called coppermine Fetch. If you do a search on Copermine Fetch on the coppermine boards you can get all the info you seek. Here is the website of the author that goes into detail and where you can download the code. http://www.fistfullofcode.com/projects/copperminefetch/

Once this is installed and working properly you just put this code in a HTML block in TP on your site:

Code Select Expand

[img]http://yoursite.com/cpmfetch/cfig_random.php?category=2" [/img] and it will give you random images everytime the screen is refreshed.

Hope this helps.

I am interested in a gallery mod too.

Basically the only module we are currently using with our PostNuke site is the gallery so you have to sign-in again whenever you leave SMF and go to he gallery.

Switch gallery's to Coppermine and bridge it too coppermine ?

Thats what we did. All SMF members are members at the copperminegalery.. Its almost as easy as 1 3 2 3 

You can check it out yourself here

At the left is a block is a block with a random image created with cpgfetch. (carefull some pics are a X-rated)
