What is SMF Portal?

[Raji]

Sorry I mean to say simple portal.
Here is my site which is based on Simple Portal and SMF form. www.baask.com

Hope to get your prompt and positive response.

You should be able to do this with a Custom PHP page, although, how exactly do you want to publish it? Could you please describe what you want?

[Raji]

Thanks for your response.
At the moment I am publishing all books on SMF forum under a section like this.

http://baask.com/diwwan/index.php?board=28.0

Here are pages of a book.

http://baask.com/diwwan/index.php?topic=4116.0
All pages are in gif format.

Now I want publish them in book format means page wise. like this
http://baask.com/home/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=54&Itemid=98

I am not expert of php so I need help to publish all related images page wise.
Hope to hear you soon

With regards

This is the most insteresting request I have ever received, I guess. Well, just to show the power of SimplePortal... Create a PHP page with this code:

Code: [Select]

global $scripturl;

$num_pages = 9;
$cover_image_url = 'http://www.baask.com/diwan/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=3072.0;attach=575;image';
$page_image_url = 'http://baask.com/literature/qasum_faraz/kitab/qasum%s.gif';

if (empty($_GET['number']) || $_GET['number'] < 1 || $_GET['number'] > $num_pages)
{
$current_page = 0;
$image_url = $cover_image_url;
}
else
{
$current_page = (int) $_GET['number'];
$image_url = sprintf($page_image_url, $current_page == 1 ? '' : '0' . $current_page);
}

echo '
<div style="text-align: center;">
Page ', $current_page, ' of ', $num_pages, '
<p><img src="', $image_url, '" alt="', $current_page, '" /></p>';

for ($i = 0; $i <= $num_pages; $i++)
echo '
<a href="', $scripturl, '?page=book;number=', $i, '">', ($i == $current_page ? '<strong>[' : ''), ($i == 0 ? 'Cover' : $i), ($i == $current_page ? ']</strong>' : ''), '</a>';

echo '
</div>';
While creating the page, make sure you set "Page ID" as book

Here is the page of this book:
http://baask.com/diwwan/index.php?page=qasumfaraz

http://baask.com/literature/ishaq_khamosh/Jaar/

global $scripturl;

   $num_pages = 65;
   $cover_image_url = 'http://baask.com/diwwan/index.php?action=mgallery;sa=media;id=3810';
   $page_image_url = 'http://baask.com/literature/ishaq_khamosh/Jaar/%s.gif';


   if (empty($_GET['number']) || $_GET['number'] < 1 || $_GET['number'] > $num_pages)
   {
      $current_page = 0;
      $image_url = $cover_image_url;
   }
   else
   {
      $current_page = (int) $_GET['number'];
      $image_url = sprintf($page_image_url, $current_page == 1 ? '' : '0' . $current_page);
   }

   echo '
<div style="text-align: center;">
   Page ', $current_page, ' of ', $num_pages, '
   <p><img src="', $image_url, '" alt="', $current_page, '" /></p>';

   for ($i = 0; $i <= $num_pages; $i++)
      echo '
   <a href="', $scripturl, '?page=jaar;number=', $i, '">', ($i == $current_page ? '<strong>[' : ''), ($i == 0 ? 'Cover' : $i), ($i == $current_page ? ']</strong>' : ''), '</a>';

Code: (Find) [Select]

$image_url = sprintf($page_image_url, $current_page == 1 ? '' : '0' . $current_page);

Code: (Replace) [Select]

$image_url = sprintf($page_image_url, ($current_page > 9 ? '' : '0') . $current_page);
I'm glad you could figure out how to adapt the code.

[Raji]

   $cover_image_url = 'http://baask.com/diwwan/MGalleryItem.php?id=4006';
   $page_image_url = 'http://baask.com/literature/ishaq_khamosh/shoben/shoben%s.gif';

   if (empty($_GET['number']) || $_GET['number'] < 1 || $_GET['number'] > $num_pages)
   {
      $current_page = 0;
      $image_url = $cover_image_url;
   }
   else
   {

Try this:

Code: (Find) [Select]

sprintf($page_image_url, $current_page == 1 ? '' : '0' . $current_page);

Code: (Replace) [Select]

sprintf($page_image_url, ($current_page < 10 ? '00' : ($current_page < 100 ? '0' : '')) . $current_page);
