Name:
Related pictures

Desc:
This addon gives option of building related pictures list under image.
I.e. you were in zoo and shoot 3 pictures. Thanks to this addon you can "connect" each picture with the rest which is already published at your Pixelpost.

Live example you can find here http://blog.piotrgalas.com/photo/271/Too_fast_too_crazy/.

PS In all my "fresh" addons there is always Paypal button thanks to which you can donate process of creating next releases of it. The amount of money doesnt matter - the most important for me is to see its worth to sleep less, to read about new technologies, to search new solutions and think about new ideas.

It uses tag: <RELATED_IMG>

It works ONLY WITH Pixelpost 1.5 BETA1 or NEWER.

Trying this addon. It installs fine and I get the option menus to add related items to pics. When I try to update the post, I get a 404 error. Is there any additional info I need to put in my index.php file?

raminia

02-21-2006, 06:31 AM

very nice. I'll try it.

spipasucci

Found that the path on clicking "Update Post" was incorrect (on my system). Upon pathing it correctly, it killed the image data for the updated image (deleting it's title and text as well as it's upload date - thus putting it first in the sequence)... Also, it never created a relation to another image...
You mention in the addon text something about a SQL initiation. Is this where I encountered a problem?

I've removed the addon for now...

Sounds like a great idea tho'...

GeoS

OK. At today's evening Ill try to fix all stuff.

Initialization is by going to addon page in admin section after addon upload. Then is executed SQL commands creating tables in DB.

About editing image. I had same problem because one of workspace is in a little unfortunelty place. In update image section there is one opened <FORM> but with the same target at correct one so all data should be send to it.
Ill test it today one more time and try to solve this issue.

PS spipasucci - can you send me at which URL is your admin part and to what URL it was sending you after update (with 404 effect)?? It can be relative URL if you dont want to send me full paths.

EDIT: Now there is updated version. There was small bug :/

1. What version of admin_related.php do you have?

2. Did you visit addons page at first (after uploading it on server)? This installs addon in Pixelpost's DB and is necessary.

GeoS

02-26-2006, 09:08 AM

Update (version 1.2) is available right now at:

I updated to your last version v1.2, I visit first addon section, I'm using 1.5b pixelpost with simple-visions template, I just uploaed the two files to addon directory, the includes to includes and the "related_image" folder to templates folder.

No tag added anywhere in my simple-visions template.

What's wrong ?

Attached template shows how it work (if you add some related image to one of your pics). You can test it by setting it as you default one.

Addon's description says quite clearly that you should add <RELATED_IMG> tag to your current image_template.html to get it work.

Sorry If I didn't explain exactly, I installed the addon correctly but when I try to "ralate" some image and Update post or make new post I receive that error

rel_pic#3: You have an error in your SQL syntax near '; ' at line 1INSERT INTO pixelpost_related VALUES (2,1);

And I sended to /photoblog/admin/index.php?view=images&x=update&imageid=2

I use your last addon version and pixelpost 1.5b

02-26-2006, 11:22 PM

Last news .... I make it works on pp 1.5b

I remove the ; at line 96 );\ , I leave )\

$query = "INSERT INTO {$pixelpost_db_prefix}related VALUES ($theid,$v);\n";

But, ... I'm having problems traying to install that addon on "1.4.3 of Pixelpost."

I receive that line:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: add_admin_functions() in /.../public_html/addons/admin_related.php on line 58

GeoS

02-27-2006, 12:45 AM

This addon is only for PP 1.5 and newer. Reason of it is that it uses workspaces in admin panel which are not available at lower versions.

PS IMHO such SQL code is OK (so I dont know why your server had problems):INSERT INTO pixelpost_related VALUES (2,1);

Is it possible to expand the list of related image in the admin panel?
I mean this one where max of five pos. are listed and the admin have to select some.

thanks.

marek

GeoS

11-10-2006, 11:31 PM

Yes it is. Open /addons/admin_related.php and find (~line 77):
$output = "\n<script type='text/javascript' src='../includes/overlib.js'></script><div align='left' style='padding-left:10px;width:150px'>Related images:<select name='rel_pic[]' multiple size='5'>\n";
where this last size means how many things do you want to watch at once.

Hi GeoS

Thanks for your wonderful addon!

I was wondering if you could point me in the right direction.

If there a way to relate to pictures which are NOT published?

Sometimes, I want to add related picture, but I don't necessarily want to publish them in my photoblog.

Any advice?

Thanks :)

Franco

How should that work? Why do you want to link to an image nobody can see? Do you speak of an external link? Or a thumbnail you created manually?

GeoS

11-23-2007, 06:47 PM

Hi,

Yes you can as at admin panel you should see all images without split on this published and hidden one.

At front side this "hidden" (future) images will be visible as related when will come their time :D

GeoS

Hi,

Give me a link and some more infos what is not working.

Franco

11-26-2007, 03:13 AM

Thanks for your help and time!

I understand that you are saying that I should publish pictures for a future date, and that the "related to" link will appear when the photo is published, but what I mean is that I would like to relate to images that I will never publish.

I just want to had miscellaneous pictures of the same photoshoot, but whitout having to add them to the photoblog main page.

Is that more clear? :D

Thanks again!

With Related Images Addon you can relate only to images which are published in the photoblog.
But I understand what you mean.
I did something similar in my previous template, but it needed a hack in GeosShowCategory Addon.
Know that Pixelpost has a default category "All" which shows your Photoblog with all images, no matter of the category. So if there is no GET-part "category=NN" in the URL, all images in database will be shown in browse page and are reachable in image page.
To change this behaviour, you have to define a category named "all" in the Addons Panel and look out which category id this one has.
Set this category as dedicated default category in the beginning of GeosShowCategory Addon:
if (!$_GET['category'] || $_GET['category'] == '') $_GET['category']=='1';
(if it has cat id 1). This will force Pixelpost to use always a category. If none is selected, your "All" category is used.

Now when clicking a link for default "all" images (which has no category in the link) the page is displayed with "category=1" and all images which are in category "all" (id 1) should be shown.

Don't forget to select this category for all images-to-publish when you upload them (and do a mass category edit in the images list for those which are already uploaded).

Now you are done with what you wanted: you can upload your "main" images into whatever category you want AND into the "All" category. Your "related" images which you don't want to show when browsing the images or browse page receive no category at all.
You can use the Related Images Addon to link to the other images and you can even put the thumbnail-links into the image description (with HTML od Markdown) if you want.
example: http://blog.uhlig.at/index.php?showimage=845&popup=comment

Hello Geos and Austrika!

Thanks alot for your sugestions.

GEOS I really like your addon for the Related Gallery! wow! But I have PixelPost 1.7 and its not working! :( Any suggestions?

I have not tried yet Austrika's solution, but it seems a little complicated. If i am unable to get Related Gallery working, I will give it a try.

Thank you for your kindness! both of you! :D

oups... I should tell you what is not working if you are going to help :)

-I have uploaded both admin_galleries.php and galleries.php to my addon older.
-I see them in the Addon Admin panel, they are both activated.
-When I edit an image, I see the 3 fields.
Gallery link title
Gallery URL
Open link in new or same window...
-I am able to values and same them
- If i return to the image properties after, the values are still there, so thats a good sign :) (i guess that means it writing to database)

But when I place the tag <PGA_GALLERY_LINK> im my image_template.html file, and refresh, I see nothing.... :(

Any ideas?

hello,

is there a way to show a row of thumbnails of the related images in stead of the list of titles? Is there a different tag I could use instead of the <RELATED_IMG> tag? Or is there a different way to do it? I know it's possible, cause I've seen it done on a blog, unfortunately I haven't got that blog url any more...

thanks,
Ine
