Another Random Images from Coppermine

[steve43]

This allows you to add CLickable "random images" from coppermine photo gallery and display them on your vBadvanced CMPS home page as a center or side block it will also work on your vbulletin 3.0.0 & 3.0.1 FORUMHOME template.

This is an alternate to the following hacks for coppermine SSI, and RSS Feed Hack. There are a few limitations using it as a center block with vBadvanced CMPS, because of the image size and center block formatting.

1. add this to your vbulletin phpinclude_start template but this to reflect your site and gallery location. http://www.yoursite.com/gallery/crandom.php

//random images from coppermine//
$randomimg = implode("", file("http://127.0.0.1/gallery/crandom.php"));

I am glad I am not alone ;)

Thanks for this, hadn't got around to writing one of these yet and randomly popped on and saw it.

Just what I needed :)

[seangworld]

yo...im tryin to install this.
so far, im stuck here:

8. Testing file open your browser to http://www.yoursitename/yourgallery/crandom.php
if you done everything correctly your thumbnails will show, clicking the image will open that photo in your gallery.

i have a blank white page.

also, i have vb3.0.2 installed and running.
i have coppermine 1.3.2 installed. problem with this is HOW THE HELL DO YOU ADD PICS??? it's not letting me and im the damn admin. i have the users integrated with my vb as well, and i ftp'ed 5 pics to my albums dir and the dir is chmod'ed at 777.

[seangworld]

ok, nm, i found out elsewhere that i needed to manually create folders inside my /albums, chmod them to 777, then add the pics there first, then go and do a batch upload via coppermine.

im moving onto the rest of the installation now. :P

I noticed some issues with this mod so I've made some changes.



<?php

$copperminepath = 'PATH'; //***YOU MUST CHANGE THIS***

$MZrandompic = @mysql_connect('localhost', 'USER', 'PASSWORD'); //***YOU MUST CHANGE THIS***

if (!$MZrandompic) {
echo( '<p>Unable to connect to the ' .
'database server at this time.</p>' );
exit();
}

if (! @mysql_select_db('GALLERY NAME') ) { //*** Change this to your db name ***
die( '<p>Unable to locate the picture ' .
'database at this time.</p>' );
}

$MZresult = @mysql_query("SELECT * FROM TABLEPREFIX_pictures ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT 0,6"); //*** Change the TABLEPREFIX_ to reflect yours ***
if (!$MZresult) {
die('<p>Error performing query: ' . mysql_error() .
'</p>');
}

while ( $MZrow = mysql_fetch_array($MZresult) ) {

$pos = $MZrow['pid']; //This finds the picture's coppermine location

$aid = $MZrow['aid']; // Defines Album ID

echo('<a target = "_new" href="' . $copperminepath . '/displayimage.php?album=' . $aid . '&pos=-' . $pos . '">');

echo('<IMG SRC="' . $copperminepath . '/albums/' . $MZrow['filepath']. 'thumb_' .$MZrow['filename'] . '" alt=' . $MZrow['filename'] . ' '. 'border=0 width=100 height=80>' . '</a> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;'); //outputs path from /userspics
}

$MZalbumresult = @mysql_query("SELECT * FROM TABLEPREFIX_albums WHERE aid = '$aid'"); //*** Change TABLEPREFIX to reflect yours
if (!$MZalbumresult) {
die('<p>Error performing query: ' . mysql_error() .
'</p>');
}

while ( $MZalbumname = mysql_fetch_array($MZalbumresult) ) {
echo('<FONT SIZE=1>');
echo('<P ALIGN=center>');

echo('<a href="' . $copperminepath .
'/thumbnails.php?album=' . $aid . '">' .
$MZalbumname['title'] . '</a>' . '</p>');
}

if (! @mysql_select_db('GALLERY NAME') ) { //*** Change this to your db name
die( '<p>Unable to reload the main website ' .
'database at this time.</p>' );
}

?>


Save the file as crandom.php

I hope this helps a bit.

[bbensen]

I guess I wrote/spoke too soon. I can display the images on the random page, but they don't show up on the VBAdvanced portal. Is there an answer for this?

TIA,

PLEASE help

[nightwalk8r]

Alright i got it working =)

BTW, is there a way to restrict it from showing un-approved/ private images??
Thanks

[antropus]

Firtst, Thanks a LOT!! I'm using and it ROCKS!

I have a question and maybe you or someone else can help me. I tried SSI.php before but was very difficult to get the same results but one thing that I saw in SSI.php is the possibility to get the last images from the coppermine table.
Maybe someone can help me to make this modification in crandom.php? I'm not looking for random images exactly but for the last 4 images from my gallery. I'm kind of newbie in php and I hope you understand :)

My forum/website where crandom.php is installed:
http://www.3d4all.org

Thanks in advance!

Is there a way to UP the image quality?

[RetroDreams]

Has anyone got this working with 3.0.6? The crandom page works, just won't display on CMS.

[RetroDreams]

Nevermind. If you want a 2nd way, create a new module called whatever and put the following into it:

<?php

$randomimg = implode("", file("http://www.ka-alumni.org/gallery/crandom.php"));

eval('$home[$mods[\'modid\']][\'content\'] = "' . fetch_template('adv_portal_gallery') . '";');

?>

Then, you can skip the section about putting anything into the phpinclude_start and it should work like a charm.

Will this work with vbulletin 3.5.1

[Glenshadow]

Hello all,

I am running into a weird problem with crandom.php and I can't seem to figure out why.

I am running VBulletin 3.50, VBadvanced 2.x, and Coppermine 1.42 stable.

For some reason crandom.php will fail getting an image out of the gallery if the folder it resides in is named like 12-5-05-whatever.

Basically I have my albums sorted by date and then the event.... so if for example I had pictures from Christmas I would name the folder: 12-25-05-christmas.

This folder then get's uploaded into my /albums/holidays/ folder on my site, then I go into Coppermine and add them to where ever.

The path of the image would be: domain.com/pics/albums/holidays/12-25-05-christmas/image1.jpg

At this point crandom.php does it's job and pulls the image into the area on main page, but it doesn't pull correctly... instead it will try to pull the image from: domain.com/pics/albums/holidays/12-25-05/image1.jpg

For some reason it drops the -christmas from the folder name and I have no earthly clue as to why. I didn't mod the crandom file at all except what was found in the thread on crandom.php from this site.

It doesn't make sense... it's not a issue with the number of characters in the folder name because there are long ones that work just fine. It also doesn't seem to be much of an issue with dashes in the folder name because I can have a folder called: whatever-you-want-to-call-it , and images come out of there just fine !

I am lost.... any ideas ?

I can pull my crandom.php and post it if need be... but it did the same thing with the one posted right in the thread.

[slohand]

Post your Crandom please

[Glenshadow]

http://www.truckporn.com/crandom.zip

Can be seen here: http://www.truckporn.com/pics/crandom.php

You might have to refresh a few times to get a broken image.


After playing around with it more... now it seems that it is trying to pull stuff that is not even there ? I am wondering if there are maybe some old entries in the database somewhere that Coppermine doesn't see at all, but since Crandom is reading from the database, it is attempting to pull them ?

This makes more sense and I think it is the problem.

[cristian]

Hello

Crandom is cool, and works well...

But can anyone advise on how to define the album in the php, like Brian was asking above?

It would be much more versatile if you could ask crandom.php to choose random images from a particular album.

thanks agin

Stupid question, I got everything installed but I cant find the phpinclude_start template where the heck is it :)

has anyone converted this to work on version 3.5.4?

I read in the 3.5 section that it wouldn't work, so let me know.
