Colored Image Name

[blue4603]

Hi

I tried 4images 1.7.6 today on my test machine and it is really amazing.
 
I noticed that the image names colors are taken from the css style.

How about a mod that makes the image names colored using standard HTML codes?

Could you help me plz?

Thank you

Hello and welcome to 4images forum.

What is the purpose for this?

Hi

I will give you an example

let say we have an image of a green tree it would be nice that the name of this image is also green.

or if we have a pink flower or a blue ocean.

I hope you got the idea.

1) add a new field into 4images_images table, lets call it "image_color". You can execute in your mysql manager (phpmyadmin):

Code: [Select]

ALTER TABLE `4images_images` ADD `image_color` VARCHAR( 20 ) NOT NULL2) in includes/db_fields_definitions.php add:

Code: [Select]

$additional_image_fields['image_color'] = array("Image Color", "text", 0);
3) edit your images and you should see new field "Image Color". You can either use CSS class name or HEX color code or color name, whatever.
4) in details.html template use something like this (as an example Image Color contains CSS class name):

Code: [Select]

{if image_color}<span class="{image_color}">{endif image_color}{image_name}{if image_color}</span>{endif image_color}

Hi

Thanks for the response.

It is a nice idea. However, it is not what I had in my mind.

If we use your idea then the image name will have on color but how about if I we need to be multicolored?

I will explain with an example:

Let say that the image name is Red Sea < I want the word Red colored with red and Sea colored with blue.

I hope you got what I mean.

I tried to stop the script from escaping special characters but there were many problems.

I hope you help me.

and thanks for your help

oh, I see. In that case the simpliest way whould be use html in the names
that method would require searching in .php files for image_name and if it's in format_text (i.e. format_text($image_name, 2);
replase "2" with "1"

if that worked and on your site members/guests can upload images, then there something else has to be done to prevent them using html for security reasons

Hi

Thanks a lot that worked like a charm.

I think if we just change the format_text($image_name, 2) that is found in the functions.php file that would be enough.

Thank you again
