I installed the albumview addon successfully, and turned it on.
I made a browse_album.html, and put the tag <ALBUMVIEW> in the file, but when I use the ....index.php?x=album to visit , the browser responds:
Not Found
The requested URL /index.php was not found on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
But the same tag <ALBUMVIEW> works well in the template file browse_template.html.
What's wrong with that?
Pls do me a favor if you know....thx.......
---------------------------
OMG, I made a so stupid mistake........the album template file should be album_template.html.

great addon by the way but I made a small modification which I believe you should include in your next version...

Basically I had some categories that have no images in, and they were showing up so I simply added a if statement around certain areas that checked to see if $num_rows is 0 if it did then it skips that section...

PHP Code:

        if ($num_rows > 0){
        $albumview .= "<div class=\"albumWrapper2\" >";
        }
        
        $catquery = "select ".$pixelpost_db_prefix."pixelpost.id, ".$pixelpost_db_prefix."catassoc.id, image_id, cat_id, image from ".$pixelpost_db_prefix."catassoc, " .$pixelpost_db_prefix. "pixelpost where ((".$pixelpost_db_prefix."pixelpost.id = image_id) and (cat_id = ".$row['id'].") and (datetime<='$cdate')) ORDER BY datetime DESC LIMIT 1";
                $catresults= mysql_query ($catquery);
        while ($row1=mysql_fetch_array($catresults)) {
            if ($num_rows > 0){
            $albumview .= "<a href=\"index.php?x=browse&category=" . $row1['cat_id'] . "\"><img src=\"" . $thumbpath . "/thumb_" .$row1['image'] . "\" border=\"0\" alt=\" \" class=\"album-thumbnails\" /></a>";
            }
        }
        if ($language_abr == $default_language_abr) {
            if ($num_rows > 0){
            $albumview .= "<div class=\"albumTitle\"><a href=\"index.php?x=browse&category=" . $row['id'] . "\">" . stripslashes($row['name']) . " <span class=\"number\">($num_rows)</span></a></div>";
            }
        } else {
            if ($num_rows > 0){
            $albumview .= "<div class=\"albumTitle\"><a href=\"index.php?x=browse&category=" . $row['id'] . "\">" . stripslashes($row['alt_name']) . " <span class=\"number\">($num_rows)</span></a></div>";
            }
        }
        if ($num_rows > 0){
        $albumview .= "</div>";
        } 


Currently this is only for <ALBUMVIEW> because this is all I need, above is line 45 to 67 so you can get an idea of my mod.

I guess I never put that in because I thought why would you make a category if there were no photos in it?

Thanks for putting that in.

No problem...

How would one get rid of the category 'ALL' and it's thumbnail?

Thanks! Great Addon BTW!

Hi all,

I've got a problem installing album view.
--------------------------------------------------
Instructions

1. Add album_view.php to your addons directory and turn it on
- Done


2. Add some css to display the thumbnails properly. I've included the css I'm using as a sample in the package.
- Put it where???


3. Add one of the Album View tags to one of your templates. I would suggest making a new template page for this tag - for instance I put the tag on album_template.html. Tags to use:

<ALBUMVIEW> - Shows newest photo for each category.
<ALBUMVIEWPAGED> - Same as above but for use with Paged Archive Addon.
<ALBUMVIEWRAND> - Shows random photo for each category.
<ALBUMVIEWPAGEDRAND> - Same as abover but for use with Paged Archive Addon.

I must make a new template? Or use an existing? Put it where on the template?

I really dont get it. Hope someone else does and can help me.

Gr.

CSS can go on the template or in your css file. I suggest making a new template file so you can still use all the functions that come in the browse template. Make a copy of one of your current templates and put the tag where you want the addon output to appear.

Great add-on... I'm trying it. Just a question: when i choose one one the album, the browser is redirected to a browse page for the selected category. Is it possible to redirect to an album view page that display all the thumbs for the desidered category?


Thank you


Giorgio

No - it's designed to redirect to the browse page
