[Feature-addon] - Total count for lightbox (how many images you added).

[TheOracle]

// Introduction

This feature was already published by V@no in the past but seems to have been lost on the old forum. However, since the code was never found again, I have decided to re-code it myself.

// Affected files



- includes/page_header.php
- templates/<your_template>/user_logininfo.html



// Backup your files

Always backup your files before proceeding to these steps below.

// Step 1

In your includes/page_header.php file,

find :

// Replace Globals in $lang
$lang = $site_template->parse_array($lang);

add below :

Code: [Select]


if (!empty($user_info['lightbox_image_ids']))  {
  $lightbox_image_ids = explode(" ",$user_info['lightbox_image_ids']);
  $lightbox_total_count = count ($lightbox_image_ids);
}


Then, find :

"lang_lightbox" => $lang['lightbox'],

add right below :

Code: [Select]


"lightbox_total_count" => intval($lightbox_total_count),


// Step 1.1

Then, find : (updated - automatic refresh when ether removing and adding an image to lightbox).

$msg = (add_to_lightbox($id)) ? $lang['lightbox_add_success'] : $lang['lightbox_add_error'];

add below :

Code: [Select]


$site_template->register_vars("msg", $msg);


Then, find :

$msg = (remove_from_lightbox($id)) ? $lang['lightbox_remove_success'] : $lang['lightbox_remove_error'];

add below :

Code: [Select]


$site_template->register_vars("msg", $msg);


This will redirect automatically to your current page and refresh the lightbox count.

// Step 2

In your templates/<your_template>/user_logininfo.html file,

find :

&raquo; <a href="{url_lightbox}">{lang_lightbox}</a><br />

replace with :

Code: [Select]


&raquo; <a href="{url_lightbox}">{lang_lightbox} ({lightbox_total_count})</a><br />


// Installation complete

That's it. You're done !

To test this out, simply go to your home page gallery as you should be to see the number aside of the lightbox. Add an image to the lightbox and click on the lightbox link (for the first time). Then, you should see the value changing.

For instance : lightbox (1).

(Note: '1' is just an example).

Good luck !

Update: Step 1.1 added.

Why an extra query?
I think you can user "explode" to count in $user_info array how many strings are $user_info['lightbox_image_ids'].

I'm not that good yet. That's the only way I figured out above in order to get this working.

[IcEcReaM]

Then do it like this:

Instead of

Code: [Select]

if (!empty($user_info['lightbox_image_ids']))  {
  $image_id_sql = str_replace(" ", ", ", trim($user_info['lightbox_image_ids']));
  $sql = "SELECT COUNT(image_id) AS images
          FROM ".IMAGES_TABLE."
          WHERE image_active = 1 AND image_id IN ($image_id_sql) AND cat_id NOT IN (".get_auth_cat_sql("auth_viewcat", "NOTIN").")";
  $result = $site_db->query_firstrow($sql);
  $num_rows_all = $result['images'];

  $lightbox_total_count = str_replace("{lightbox_total_count}", "", $num_rows_all);
}
you can use

Code: [Select]

if (!empty($user_info['lightbox_image_ids']))  {
  $lightbox_image_ids = explode(" ",$user_info['lightbox_image_ids']);
  $lightbox_total_count = count ($lightbox_image_ids);
}
Its a little bit shorter and saves an extra query

WORKS! just installed it, thanks

[artpics]

thanks for giving this mod a new lease of life, i remember this one from a year ago at least, good work 

[TheOracle]

if (!empty($user_info['lightbox_image_ids']))  {
  $lightbox_image_ids = explode(" ",$user_info['lightbox_image_ids']);
  $lightbox_total_count = count ($lightbox_image_ids);
}

@icecream:

Thanks. Now I have learned something new.

And why not make the number of "who" have added the picture on details.php

And why not make the number of "who" have added the picture on details.php

And I assume you mean from their profiles ?

[V@no]

Note, if used Step 1.1 you will not see success or error messages after adding/removing images in/out the lightbox.

[TheOracle]

Very well. Step 1.1 has been modified as step 1.2 has just been created.

[V@no]

So, why do you need to refresh the page? just to update the lightbox count? if so, why not just register the lightbox count template tag AFTER image was added/removed? simplier and less server resources used.

[TheOracle]

Good point. Step 1.1 has now been re-modified as well as step 1.2 has now been removed.
