[Mod] Photo Of The Day

[V@no]

Hello!
Thank you for this mod!

Is there a way to include the choice "by hits", so the picture with the most hits will appear?

Thanks!

yes, its.
in the code u added in /includes/functions.php add this chose:

Code: [Select]

 case "by_hits" : $select_mode = "i.image_hits"; $select_mode2 = ", i.image_name ASC"; break;

and in /includes/constants.php change to this:

Code: [Select]

define('POTD_SELECT_MODE', 'by_hits');


P.S. just a thought.
in this case u probably will have same picture be showed all the time, because visitors will give more "credit" to that picture, u know what I mean?

How do I keep the "404 File Not Found" icon from appearing when I am logged off?

I have 4images set to not allow guests viewing rights at all. Only registered users can view pictures. When I am at the site as a guest, I get the "404 File Not Found" icon in the spot where the POTD is supposed to be.

I would rather it be like the Random Image, and not show anything to when I am not logged in.

In the code that u inserted in /includes/page_header.php at the very top add this:

Code: [Select]

if ($user_info['user_level'] != GUEST) {And at the end of the code add }
So, it would looks like this:

if ($user_info['user_level'] != GUEST) {
$potd_image = (defined("SHOW_POTD_IMAGE") && SHOW_POTD_IMAGE == 0) ? "" : get_potd_image();
$site_template->register_vars("potd_image", $potd_image);
$site_template->register_vars(array("lang_potd_title" => $lang['potd_title']));
switch (POTD_SELECT_MODE) {
   case "by_rating"   : $site_template->register_vars(array("lang_potd_type" => $lang['potd_type_rating'])); break;
   case "by_votes"      : $site_template->register_vars(array("lang_potd_type" => $lang['potd_type_votes'])); break;
   case "by_comments"   : $site_template->register_vars(array("lang_potd_type" => $lang['potd_type_comments'])); break;
   case "by_downloads"   : $site_template->register_vars(array("lang_potd_type" => $lang['potd_type_downloads'])); break;
   case "by_hits"   : $site_template->register_vars(array("lang_potd_type" => $lang['potd_type_hits'])); break;
}
unset($potd_image);
}

is it possible to make the photo of the day first choice the number of favorites (lightbox) ?

is it possible to make the photo of the day first choice the number of favorites (lightbox) ?

nope. how do you know, who added particular photo to their favorites?

[Bomba]

hmmm ok i just thought that was the best choice to mark favs
but ok

now i wanna ask something else, i've chosen the option "by_rating" but can i make the photo of the day selected appear only when she's marked as new. so i won't take the risk of featuring always the same pic.
or is there a way that in case of a similar rating between pics the 2nd choice going to "by_votes" ?

thanks

I dont think what i want is possible but I'll ask, Would there be a way to have it be by top hits of the day? like so it really would be the Pic of the day, otherwise In my galery, it will probably be Pic of the Daya EVERYDAY!

[SLL]

yeah... why not?

Code: [Select]

switch (POTD_SELECT_MODE) {
case "by_rating" : $select_mode = "i.image_rating"; break;
case "by_votes" : $select_mode = "i.image_votes"; break;
case "by_comments" : $select_mode = "i.image_comments"; break;
case "by_downloads" : $select_mode = "i.image_downloads"; break;
case "by_hits" : $select_mode = "i.image_hits"; break;
}

don't forget to add lang strings...

yes, u are right, it will be EVERYDAY hits.
4images doesnt log time of each hit, it just add to the total of the image hits.

[Bomba]

and beside hits, is there any way that only shows the pic of the day for one day or as long as she's marked as "new"

that would be great
thanks

case "by_hits" : $select_mode = "i.image_hits"; break;

Don't forget to add the

Code: [Select]

case "by_hits"      : $site_template->register_vars(array("lang_potd_type" => $lang['potd_type_hits'])); break; to the includes/page_header.php in order for it to actually show the "selected by hits" under the pic.

as I already said, 4images doesnt log time of each hit/rating/vote/ and so on, it just add to the total of the image hit/rating/vote/ and so on.
and if u make it show only new POTD, then after "new" status is "expired" (picture become old) u'll get "404" icon - picture not found.
if u still want it his way, then try replace:

Code: [Select]

           WHERE i.image_active = 1 AND i.cat_id NOT IN ($cat_id_sql) AND c.cat_id = i.cat_idwith this:

Code: [Select]

           WHERE i.image_active = 1 AND i.cat_id NOT IN ($cat_id_sql) AND c.cat_id = i.cat_id AND i.image_date >= ".(time() - 60 * 60 * 24 * $config['new_cutoff'])."


[Lord Nite]

I've tried and tried, but can't figure out how to make the POTD appear on the main category and not just the subcategories.

Any help?

I've added the {potd_image} after the {endif random_cat_image} and it will only show up on the categories under the main category.
