Title: New MGallery Snippet
Post by: crank on March 10, 2009, 03:52:56 AM

Hi guys.

I am looking for a snippet to place on PHP block that I could select how many pics to display at a time.
For example on different pages I want different number of pics so I have to add the block several times to different pages.

The current block available only draws one pic unless I am mistaken.

Thanks in advance.

I have a block on my front page

Here.. (http://graphicsmayhem.com/GMForum/index.php)

Is this the sort of thing

It shows that last addition to the Gallery and then under it there are 15 random images

Easy to mod if you are interested

U are a very talented individual. I went Vbulletin though I could not handle SMF anymore.

Here is the code

It should work but I am sure some one will be able to tidy it up as I am not very good with PHP

If you use it or mod it show us what you did

do you have to add the url of the picture mannuely for each one????

And thanks mate!! looks good!!! :D

Title: Re: New MGallery Snippet
Post by: Shortie on March 30, 2009, 06:08:31 PM

Sorry do not quiet follow

The code should be self contained

as it takes the latest gallery image from the DB and the three lines of 5 random images are also generated from the details in the DB so you should not have to add any URL's

One thing to note - it is possible to have two images the same in the 15 random ones but is unlikely and if it does occur again will anyone notice

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: sp_languageselect() in /content/StartupHostPlus/s/w/swampys-swamp.co.uk/web/simplemachine/Sources/SPortal1-1.php(1947) : eval()'d code on line 29

Okay

Can you try just this code in a php block

I should just display the latest image

Cheers

Shortie

Also what version of MGallery are you using just in case - I am using 1.5.5 and the GD2 Library but should not make a difference

Another question - Does the standard SimplePortal SMF Gallery Block work I know it is not what you are after but if that works then I will have to look deeper in to my code
