Hello;
as I use to be a lazzy guy, here is the solution I use, by using the code of the file "index.php".
- Create a new blank file at the root of your 4images gallery, and call it "new_images.php"
Fill it with this code:
<?php

- Open the file includes/functions.php
Find:

Insert just after:

Find now:
return $thumb;
}
And insert this just after:
//--External thumbnails--------------------------------
function get_thumbnail_extern_code($media_file_name, $thumb_file_name = "", $image_id, $cat_id, $image_name = "", $mode = "", $show_link = 1, $open_window = 1) {

}
//--End external thumbnails----------------------------
- Now create the files template/your_template/new_images.html and templates/your_template/thumbnail_bit_extern.html
The file
new_images.html will contain:
<style type="text/css">
<!--
.title {
font-size: 11px;
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-weight: bold;
}
-->
</style>
<table width="70%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" >
<tr>
<td align="center" valign="top"><span class="title">Recent Images from {site_name}</span></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="center" valign="top"><br />
{new_images} <br /></td>
</tr>
</table>
And the file
thumbnail_bit_extern:
<style type="text/css">
<!--
.pics {
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 10px;
}
.new {
font-family: Tahoma,Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;
font-size: 9px;
color: #FF0000;
}
-->
</style>
<div align="center">{thumbnail_extern_openwindow}<br />
<span class="pics"><b>{image_name}</b> {if image_is_new}<sup class="new">{lang_new}</sup>{endif image_is_new} ({user_name_link})
<br /></span></div>
- Now, you can call the new images from an external site
In your external site, you may call your 4images new_images thumbnails by two ways, PHP and HTML.
PHP: <?php include ('http://path_to_your_4images_gallery/new_images.php') ?>
HTML:<iframe src="http://path_to_your_4images_gallery/new_images.php" width="500" height="300" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" name="new_images" align="center"></iframe>
If you click on a thumbnail, a new page opens showing the detailed view of the image.
It is also possible to link instead to your gallery homepage, or the image categoy with a little modification.
Here you are. I know that it maybe not the best way, but it works fine with 4images 1.7.4... and I'm really too lazzy to find another way.
