Recent/Random Aeva media slideshow php block (support and comments)

[Freddy]

Actually, which script are you using ?  I see there are two floating around.  You could try this :

Code Select Expand


$start = 0;
$max_number_of_pics = 5;
$sort = 'm.log_last_access_time';

echo '<div style="width: 100%; overflow: hidden;">';

global $sourcedir;
require_once($sourcedir . '/Aeva-Subs.php');   
echo aeva_listItems(aeva_getMediaItems($start, $max_number_of_pics,$sort, 'm.id_media'), false, '', 1);

echo'</div>';


I can't test it as I don't have Aeva installed at the moment.

I tried to use this one but it won't do anything.

Try the code I just gave and let me know how you get on.

Cya tomorrow, late here...

[Stroopy]

When I try your code:

Code Select Expand

$start = 0;
$max_number_of_pics = 5;
$sort = 'm.log_last_access_time';

echo '<div style="width: 100%; overflow: hidden;">';

global $sourcedir;
require_once($sourcedir . '/Aeva-Subs.php');   
echo aeva_listItems(aeva_getMediaItems($start, $max_number_of_pics,$sort, 'm.id_media'), false, '', 1);

echo'</div>';

I only seem to get 3 pictures under each other, not next to each other and also it adds:

Code Select Expand

PE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
On top of the page for some reason.

All I really want is just a block showing the 3 or 4 latest files added to the gallery.
I had a nice one working for SMF Media Gallery but the script doesn't work for Aeva Media.

I added a image to this post to show what I mean.

Change the number at the end of the echo aeva_listItems to 3... or however many columns you want.

If you want 3 side by side then change it to 3....  and change the max number to pull to match

if you want 4 then make it 4 and max to 4...etc.. you get the picture

[Blue Steel]

People should newver just copy / paste code without at least reading the docs/ comments and checking the settings..

like i've stated prior to this...

you need to edit at least these settings

only of you want to read from ALL albums .. If you want to read from a single or stated multiple albums then this setting MUST BE CHANGED TO false

Code Select Expand


$aeva_all_albums = true;           // all albums .. true or false

this one you have to replace the number in the brackets.. ie: the 1 .. with the albums you want it to get the content from seperated by , ..

IF you want to get from ALL albums .. you need to have this set to array()  ie: nothing in the brackets [ red]

Code Select Expand


$aeva_albums = array(1);            // for a single album put eg: array(10) for an array of albums eg: array(3,5,7) for all albums eg:array()


[Stroopy]

Alright now I'm using this code and it works great.

Code Select Expand

$start = 0;
$max_number_of_pics = 3;
$sort = 'm.time_added DESC';

echo '<div style="width: 100%; overflow: hidden;">';

global $sourcedir;
require_once($sourcedir . '/Aeva-Subs.php');   
echo aeva_listItems(aeva_getMediaItems($start, $max_number_of_pics,$sort, 'm.id_media'), true, '', 3);

echo'</div>';

But now it shows this message at the top of my website:
PE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

Any idea what's up with that?

[IchBin]

Are you saying that after you used this code snippet you suddenly have that text at the top of your page? Link?

[Stroopy]

Yeah, when I active the block the code is in that text comes up.
I don't have the block active at the moment because it messes up the layout.

[Stroopy]

Anyone has an idea?
