[Mod] Photo Of The Day

[V@no]

parent and sub categories uses same template, so there is no way u can separate them, without some changes in .php files.

Figured out that the main category needs at least one image in it before the POTD will show up.

[Bomba]

i was thinking if it's possible to have a direct choice for the POTD, like a url to the thumbnail # or something.

is this possible?
i was thinking on this cause this way i would be able to feature a new pic everyday, even if i have to edit everyday some .php files... i don't mind

thanks

not sure if I understand u correctly, but try this:
in the code u added in /includes/functions.php find:

Code: [Select]

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

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_id = XXXXX
where XXXXX is number of your image ID

how can i add additional text to my photo of the day?

i mean, i want to add at the details.htm of the choosen image a text by administration saying why was that picture choosen.
this would be a way to mark the difference bettwen the photos of the day and the regular photos.

thanks

I'd just edit template  

[Bomba]

but how can i edit the details template of that specific image?
if i edit the template it will change all details image id page, right?

V@no saying that you have to add text to potd_image.html template. As an alternative, you can change the text directly in the /lang/main.php

Code: [Select]

$lang['potd_type_rating'] = "Selected by rating... this is the best pi c at my site ever...bla-bla-bla...";

[Bomba]

but you're not understanding. that's not what i want. i know how to edit the potd_image_html.
what i want is to edit the details.html of that specific image.

when u click on the thumbnail of the potd it will open the details page, with the description, keywords, user comments, ... and i want to add a text saying why was that picture choosen as POTD.


thanks

ok, then, u can do this way:
change the code u added into /includes/functions.php to this:

Code: [Select]

//-----------------------------------------------------
//--- Photo Of The Day --------------------------------
//-----------------------------------------------------

function get_potd_image($show_link = 1) {
    global $site_template;
   $potd_image = get_potd_id();
   $template = 'potd_image';
   show_image($potd_image, "", $show_link);
   $potd_image = $site_template->parse_template($template);
   return $potd_image;
}
function get_potd_id() {
   global $site_db;
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;
}

$cat_id_sql = get_auth_cat_sql("auth_viewcat", "NOTIN");

    $sql = "SELECT i.image_id, i.cat_id, i.user_id, i.image_name, i.image_description, i.image_keywords, i.image_date, i.image_active, i.image_media_file, i.image_thumb_file, i.image_download_url, i.image_allow_comments, i.image_comments, i.image_downloads, i.image_votes, i.image_rating, i.image_hits, c.cat_name".get_user_table_field(", u.", "user_name")."
            FROM ".IMAGES_TABLE." i,  ".CATEGORIES_TABLE." c
            LEFT JOIN ".USERS_TABLE." u ON (".get_user_table_field("u.", "user_id")." = i.user_id)
            WHERE i.image_active = 1 AND i.cat_id NOT IN ($cat_id_sql) AND c.cat_id = i.cat_id
            ORDER BY $select_mode DESC
            LIMIT 1";

   $potd_image = $site_db->query_firstrow($sql);
   $site_db->free_result();
   return $potd_image;
}
//--- End Photo Of The Day ----------------------------


in details.php find:

Code: [Select]

//-----------------------------------------------------
//--- Print Out ---------------------------------------
//-----------------------------------------------------
$site_template->register_vars(array(
  "msg" => $msg,
replace with:

Code: [Select]

$potd = get_potd_id();
if ($potd['image_id'] == $image_id) {
$potd_msg = "blah blah blah";
}esle{
$potd_msg = "";
}

//-----------------------------------------------------
//--- Print Out ---------------------------------------
//-----------------------------------------------------
$site_template->register_vars(array(
  "potd_msg" => $potd_msg,
  "msg" => $msg,

after that, in details.html template u can use those tags:

Code: [Select]


{if potd_msg}
---------Your html table, any code---------
{potd_msg}
---------Whatever u want----------
{endif potd_msg}

[Bomba]

will this potd message stay on that image details for ever, or just as long as she's the selected potd_image?

'cause i'm selecting my gallery photo of the day everyday, and i would like to leave that message for ever in every single photo of the day that i already had chosen (and each one would have the description why was she selected in details.html)

does this code works that way? or just show the message as long as she's selected as potd?

   thanks

[V@no]

or just show the message as long as she's selected as potd?

yes

[Amosnet]

Did i miss it?

I need to know how i can show the POTD in an external php page.

Thanks
