More than one photo a day on the same page.

[aswilliamson]

Would it be possible for someone to make a mod that would make pixelpost display all the photos submitted on the same day appear on one page.
This has been talked about in this thread http://www.pixelpost.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=654

that way if say you take 3 pictures which are related you post them all in one day similar to this
http://www.sh1ft.org/shutterbug/

The advandage of this would be they all show up on the same page but continue to have seperate thumbs

thanks

version 1.4 which will be released very soon will take care of this.

[aswilliamson]

ohh nice

[raminia]

no! v1.4 does not support this. is supports posting serveral photos in the same day, in the same minute but does not show them in the same page!
There could be a simple addon for this with a new HTML tag. no need for modification of index.php!!

[aswilliamson]

ok, anyone know howto do this?

it's not just as simple as a saying display current image, and then display prevous image, it should only display a prevous image on the same page, if the Date is the same, and this would have to be specified somewhere in the admin page.

[raminia]

I'm writing here witout testing
you can put this into an addon/

if($_GET['showimage'] == "") {
$today_date = date("D",$cdate);
$query = mysql_query("select * from ".$pixelpost_db_prefix."pixelpost where datetime='$today_date' order by datetime DESC limit 0,1");

$today_image_thumbnails = "";
while(list($image_id,$image_title,$image_name) = mysql_fetch_row($query)) {
$today_image_thumbnails .= "<a href='$PHP_SELF?showimage=$image_id'><img src='thumbnails/thumb_$image_name' alt='$image_title' title='$image_title' width='' height='' /></a>";
}
$tpl = ereg_replace("<TODAY_IMAGE_THUMBNAILS>",$today_image_thumbnails,$tpl);
}

[raminia]

Ok I made it. compatible with bot v1.3 and v1.4
new tags to show the thumbnails and images of the same day in the main page.
new tags

<TODAY_IMAGE_THUMBNAILS>
<TODAY_IMAGES>


btw I don't have any use for this :)

NOTE THAT THIS MESSAGE IS UPDATED MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE LATEST VERSION.

[raminia]

It always shows these images and thumbs. now you modify it to show when you choose them to be shown :D :))

[blinking8s]

im sorry, i thought he meant multiple photos on one day for some reason! *smacks self* i need to get more sleep

[aswilliamson]

wooh you guys are amazing

[aswilliamson]

so now is there a way to show all the photos from today on the image_template when you first view the site, and then still have it regular at ohter time, like when looking at prevous page and archives etc?

[raminia]

It shows the all photos on the same day as the image you are viewing on photoblog. Even if it is on the same date as today or if it is an image shown by clicking on one of the thumbnails in the archive. It's exactly what you wanted unless is does not cosider any limitation for not showing this on some days that you select.

[aswilliamson]

ok so.. how would I replace

<a href="index.php?showimage=<IMAGE_PREVIOUS_ID>"><img id="image" src="images/<IMAGE_NAME>" alt="<IMAGE_TITLE>" title="go to <IMAGE_PREVIOUS_TITLE>" /></a>

with

<TODAY_IMAGES>

[Joe[y]]

does that method not rely on there being at least one photo posted each day?

ie, if a photo isn't posted the <today_image> tag won't show anything?

[raminia]

no if there is no photo at a day there would show nothing on that day. but if you browse the main page it will show the latest photo at least. try it yourself instead of asking. plz

[Joris]

It works unless you try to get to the previous photo by clicking on one of the current photos. Both photos should be linking to the previous day instead of just the previous photo.

[raminia]

sorry that a matter of template design.
or if you want links to photos on the same day you can extract the id of the photos and make new tags in the addon.

[Anonymous]

I think i just used the provided tags, no links in the template, but I'll check

[Joris]

.. that was me, forgot to login

[cmckibbin]

It works unless you try to get to the previous photo by clicking on one of the current photos. Both photos should be linking to the previous day instead of just the previous photo.

I found that this works:
In image_template "<a href="index.php?showimage=<IMAGE_PREVIOUS_ID>"><TODAY_IMAGES></a>"
In addon file "$today_images .= "<img id='image' src='images/$image_name' alt='$image_title' title='$image_title' />";" (take out the <a> tag)

[cmckibbin]

I would still like to see this post 2 images on one page, but only be one entry...

[adriandaine]

Ok, I get it, but...

Where do I have to write the "addon code"? index.php?

Thx.

[Joe[y]]

Ok, I get it, but...

Where do I have to write the "addon code"? index.php?

Thx.


create a new php file and save it in the addons directory. index.php automatically calls up the addon script itself.

[adriandaine]

Thank you very much!

[nauz]

link to previous image doesn't work.
It's something in the add-on file

In here maybe?
$today_image_thumbnails .= "<a href='$PHP_SELF?showimage=$image_id'><img src='thumbnails/thumb_$image_name' alt='$image_title' title='$image_title' /></a>";
$today_images .= "<a href='$PHP_SELF?showimage=$image_id'><img src='images/$image_name' alt='$image_title' title='$image_title' /></a>";

/// cmckibbin version
$today_images .= "<img_id='image' src='images/$image_name' alt='$image_title' title='$image_title' />"

Neither of these link correctly.

[raminia]

I don't underestand the problem here... Does the code work or not?

[faraari]

hello :)

thank you for the great addon.

is it possible to add something to the code so that the thumbnails only show up when there is more than one image posted on that day?

thanks again,
faraari.

[faraari]

no body? :(
