Random photos from coppermine

[DataAve]

This worked like a charm. Thanks, Bud!

Code Select Expand


print "A random selection from our Gallery:<CENTER>";
include "../cpmfetch/cpmfetch.php";
$objCpm = new cpm("/cpg");
$objCpm->cpm_viewRandomMedia(1,5);
$objCpm->cpm_close();
print "</center>";


(Line 4 denotes 1 row of 5 photos)

   My host Cpanel has Fantastico and it appears will automatically install Coppermine. What would be left for me to do?. Just create a script block and put a script in it?.

                                                        Thanks

I think you need to bridge it into SMF first, but im not 100% sure there.

          Hello

    I'm still a newb and after reading this entire thread, didn't feel i was ready to tackle this yet. But was praying Fantastico would take care of all that for me

You can install via Fanstatisco, but later you still need to bridge it to your SMF so that it uses one user database.

You can check my forum at www.PentaxWorld.com for example of how I integrated both into one

I installed cpmFetch in a subdir of coppermine, made a php block with this code in it,

Code Select Expand

include_once"/local/web/coppermine/cpmfetch/cpmfetch.php";
  $objCpm = new cpm("/local/web/coppermine/cpmfetch/cpmfetch_config.php");
  $options = array('windowtarget'=>'_blank',"imageattributes" => array("width" => "120")");
echo '<div align="center">';
  $objCpm->cpm_viewRandomMediaFrom("cat=8,2,3",1, 1,$options);
echo '</div>';

This give me a random centered thumb with a width of 120 px.

On another part of my site I want to display the last images that are uploaded. Now I run into trouble because cpm cannot be redeclared.
I think the best is to put the include and declare statement in for instance the index.template.php and to put the rest in the different blocks on my site.

Anyone done this?

I created TWO php blocks, one with random photos and one with latest photos.

Below are the codes that I use:

Latest Photos:

Code Select Expand

echo "<CENTER>";
chdir("../gallery/cpmfetch/");
include "cpmfetch.php";                   
$objCpm = new cpm();
$objCpm->cpm_viewLastAddedMedia(1,5,array("imageheight" => "75"));
$objCpm->cpm_close();
chdir("../../");
echo '<a href="http://pentaxworld.com/gallery">View Gallery</a>';
echo "</center>";

Random Photos:

Code Select Expand

echo "<CENTER>";
chdir("../gallery/cpmfetch/");
include "cpmfetch.php";                   
$objCpm = new cpm();
$objCpm->cpm_viewRandomMedia(1,5,array("imageheight" => "75"));
$objCpm->cpm_close();
chdir("../../");
echo '<a href="http://pentaxworld.com/gallery">View Gallery</a>';
echo "</center>";

However, Only Latest Photos are shown, and Random Photos have error with:

Code Select Expand

Error: config file not specified and default not found - did you run the install program?

How should I correct this?

that is something you need to ask on coppermine gallery forum.

Again something you need to ask on Coppermine forum as it's their code used.
