This Mod displays thumbs of images similar to the choosen one on the details page. Similarity is recognized by text-comparison of image keywords (or image description, if one likes better). From the whole set of similar picture a randomized subset is selected to be displayed. You can configure this number of displayed thumbs.
Note
This Mod uses metadata of the images to find similar pics. It just takes e.g. the keywords of the image displayed on the details page and performes a text-comparison via php function "similar_text()". That means, if your metadata does not properly describe your images in a consist and structural way, the result will not be satisfyingly.
You must fit some variables of this mod to your gallerys image data. The best way to to this is still to vary variables value and look at the results.
For example:
similar_text() calculates similarity of two strings by setting a defined variable at 0 to 100, where 0 means no and 100 complete similarity.
Therefor in this Mod "$percent_limit = 80; " is the value that devides similar images from non-similar. Descending the value results more similar images and vice versa.
In this Mod I use only a part of 50 letters of the compared metadata. This is because in my database the first keywords contains the most relevant information. So if one image has 20 keywords and a real similar image only 5, text-comparison will result a low similarity. If I use only the first keywords for comparison, comparison will fit much better.
Vary the number of letters in the substr()-function or remove this function to use the whole metadata.

Hi!
Thank you for sharing this mod.
mfg Andi

Finally a related images for 4images. I did not test yet, but I am very happy with it.
Thank you very much dp :D

Thanks for sharing it. It works perfectly,. adjusting the values to real related pictures.
Thanks.
-
Thanks man..its a great mod :) Works Coooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool :mrgreen:
-
Works great. Although the generated images are all saying they are from (Guest) and not the submitter. How do I fix this or remove that info panel to show just the thumb.
-
Many thanks !!!

The Mod uses the template-file "thumbnail_bit.html" to display the thumbs and their metadata. In this file there is a templatekey {user_name_link} which is registered by the function "show_image()" in include/functions.php. Sorry, but I got no idea, why this template_key has the wrong value.
You can simply take out the templatekey {user_name_link} from thumbnail_bit.html, but this will affect all thumbs in your gallery! A simple solution would be, to copy your thumbnail_bit.html to e.g. thumbnail_bit_similarimages.html and parse this template.
After copying thumbnail_bit.html to thumbnail_bit_similarimages.html find in details.php
$similar_images .= $site_template->parse_template("thumbnail_bit");and change it to
$similar_images .= $site_template->parse_template("thumbnail_bit_similarimages");
Now you got two different templates to display your thumbs and you are free to design them seperately.
Hope this helps!

habe mir das jetzt mal angesehen und auch eingebaut. Leider ohne Erflolg.
Da wir keine keywords (Schlüsselwörter) zulassen.
Ist es auch möglich anhand der Bildberschreibung?

Nichts einfacher als das! Ist nämlich im Mod schon vorbereitend angelegt ...
ersetze
similar_text ( $image_keywords, substr($image_row_allimages['image_keywords'], 0, 50), $percent );
// similar_text ( $image_description, substr($image_row_allimages['image_description'], 0, 50), $percent );
durch
// similar_text ( $image_keywords, substr($image_row_allimages['image_keywords'], 0, 50), $percent );
similar_text ( $image_description, substr($image_row_allimages['image_description'], 0, 50), $percent );

hast du dich da vertan?
du hast geschrieben, dass ich das eine mit dem anderen ersetzen soll, nur ist ja beides das Gleiche, was du da geschrieben hast, oder? :wink:
sorry war noch nicht ganz wach!!!!
jezt geht es, Danke

coole sache... kleine frage bzgl. erweiterung.. ich habe meine bilder geo-getagged... kann ich mir auch die nächstgelegenen Bilder (laut GPS koordinaten) in einem definierten Umkreis anzeigen lassen? (oder zumindest es so definieren, dass automatisch die fünf nächstgelegenen angezeigt werden?
-
coole sache... kleine frage bzgl. erweiterung.. ich habe meine bilder geo-getagged... kann ich mir auch die nächstgelegenen Bilder (laut GPS koordinaten) in einem definierten Umkreis anzeigen lassen? (oder zumindest es so definieren, dass automatisch die fünf nächstgelegenen angezeigt werden?
Das würde ich so machen:
- Abfrage der Felder mit den Koordinaten und ggf. Aufteilung in Länge und Breite
- Schleife, in der diese Koordinaten schrittweise vergrößert/verkleinert werden, und Vergleich mit den Koordniaten der übrigen Datensätze
- Schleife solange durchlaufen bis mindestens 5 weitere Datensätze identifiziert wurden
- Ausgabe der Bilder
Im wesentlichen kann der Aufbau meines Mods dabei so belassen werden.
Nun frag mich aber bitte nicht, ob ich das mal eben programmieren kann :wink: - dazu habe ich momentan absolut keine Zeit. Wenn du es aber selbst umsetzen solltest, poste doch dein Ergebnis hier im Forum, ggf. auch als eigenes Mod.
UPDATE
Geht natürlich viel einfacher, vorausgesetzt, die Koordinaten für Länge und Breite befinden sich in getrennten Feldern. Dann braucht man die Tabelle nur nacheinander nach Längen- und Breiten-Koordinate sortieren und die jeweils nächsten Werte in beiden Richtungen identifizieren.

Thanks for such a nice MOD. 8)
one request, can we control the number of rows and columns, not from ACP bcoz that changes the whole gallery i want to change number of rows and column for the similar images only..
In my case i've 4 rows with no columns in categories page, but in details page i want to show the similar images in 2 rows and 3 columns.
thanks.

To achive this you have to replace the $config['...']-variables with simple values and change the total numbers of displayed images.
So in details.php and only in the MOD's code find:
<table width=\"".$config['image_table_width']."\" border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"".$config['image_table_cellpadding']."\" cellspacing=\"".$config['image_table_cellspacing']."\">
and replace e.g. with:
<table width='50%' border='0' cellpadding='2' cellspacing='4'>
This has to be done at 3 different places. Note: the values given are just examples, you are hard-coding html, adapt it to your needs.
Find:
if ($count == $config['image_cells']) {
Replace with:
if ($count == 2) {
Find:
$leftover = ($config['image_cells'] - $count);
Replace with:
$leftover = (2 - $count);
2 is the number of rows.
At
if ($i_ids > 4) $i_ids = 4;
set the maximum of displayed images. 2 rows and 3 colums will have 2x3=6 images. For your example change it to:
if ($i_ids > 6) $i_ids = 6;
Good luck!

its working...
Thanks Alot... :D

god idea
tks :) :) :) :) :) :)

Good MOD
But when use more keywords images didn't show, even i lower the values. So i try to add category instead keywords but could not figure it out. Anyone know how to do this?

This dosn't make sense, I think. Based on categories all images of the same category are similar. Self-evident, isn't it? To do so, you simply can use the categories template tags.
Mod similar images does not complex analysis of image description or keywords, it just uses php-own string comparison. So the results strongly depends on the quality of your metadata. If you don't use controlled vocabulary and consistent structure or systematic, results will be unsatisfying. For my experience only less galery operators pay attention to metadata, but metadata are the key to any information processing. To get proper results with this mod, set up your image description and keywords with controlled vocabulary and consistent structure first. This can be very time-expensive, but there's no other way.
-
Yes, It must show all images of category eg: Nature.
Actually i already use keywords in gallery and with those keywords it not working. So i thought it will be good if i use category instead keywords to show similar images from particular category. So i try to replace keyword tag with category tag but its not worked i think i am missing where actually to put category tag.
If i use it, as it is, then i have to edit all images and its very hard work.
To show images from particular category i think category tag is good option.
Can you tell how to replace keyword tag with category tag?
-

I'm sorry, but this mod performes a special database query on description or keywords. To show all images of a single category, you don't need any mod, just use the normal 4images template tags in your template.

I need an easier trick;
i need a trick(at left sidebar) which shows 5 or 10 random images from current category.
any ideas?

You can use V@tno's Mod Random pictures and fit it to your needs: http://www.4homepages.de/forum/index.php?topic=4259.msg17513#msg17513

Well, you defenitly need to perform a database query on the current category and display the result in the propriate way. The only thing that's easier as v@tno's mod is, to look for a programmer and pay for its work.

i just tried v@tno's code but didnt work :(

All I can say is, v@tno's mods a pretty good and reliable and I'm using this particular one at my own galery - without problems. Working at 4images core files and modifying them to my needs have been my first experiences in coding php and I had to learn a lot, mostly by trial and error. If you are not familiar with php, this will be the hard way.
Post your problems at the given thread, v@tno for sure will give you kind assistance.

and your similar images, didnt work for me, i have no english folder in lang folder, maybe problem is this?
-
and your similar images, didnt work for me, i have no english folder in lang folder, maybe problem is this?
main.php in folder lang/english just contains the variable for the heading "similar images". If it's not declared and set, only this output should miss, image thumbs should still be there.
Can you describe more detailed your problem?

my server is crashing after adding this mood. somehow stop responding with 100% server load. I notticed that also images that visible only to admin is showing in similat images.

Hi relu,
do your images have proper keywords or descriptions? The mod as it is uses keywords. If there are none, the main loop will not terminate.
I'm using this mod with a database of nearly 8000 images and extensive metadata without problems. Maybe your gallery is much bigger? I can't guarantee the reliability of this mod for any number of images ...
-
My page is heavy mooded and i have around 80.000 images on my page. i figure out twice times when i installed the mood that my server hung up after short time and just after i remove this mod was back. Overall images are with description and keywords right.

Hi
Nice Mode but i am facing one problem with it.
I try to add {cat_name} tag but it not show cattegory name but on detail page this tag works every where
How to fix it?
-
Does anyone has no idea how to include {cat_name} tag to this mode :?:
In this mod {image_name} tag works but when use {cat_name} it show blank space
i try to figure it out but fail
-
Hi!
Does anyone has no idea how to include {cat_name} tag to this mode :?:
..
search in the mod:
$sql = "SELECT *
FROM ".IMAGES_TABLE."
WHERE image_id IN (" . $image_ids . ")
and replace:
$sql = "SELECT i.*, c.cat_name
FROM (".IMAGES_TABLE." i, ".CATEGORIES_TABLE." c)
WHERE image_id IN (" . $image_ids . ")AND c.cat_id = i.cat_id
search:
show_image($image_row_similarimages);
insert below:
$site_template->register_vars(array(
"cat_name" => format_text($image_row_similarimages['cat_name'], 2)
));

Hallo,
habe es eben mal eingebaut und leider läuft es nicht. Anstelle der Bilder, wird nur der Text " similar images " angezeigt.
Ist doch richtig das sich die Suche nach den Keywords und oder der Bildbeschreibung richtet, oder ?
-
Hast du das "{similar_images}" in die HTML geschrieben dann sollte es funktionieren, seinerzeit hatte ich den Mod getestet und er funktionierte, ansonsten hätte ich ihn nicht verschoben.
