Hi guys,
I'm trying to display the album tile (title, thumb, description etc.) of 3 particular albums within another page of my website outside of the zenphoto directory.
I've viewed the help page on using Zenphoto as a "plug-in", and it seems to make sense but I can't think of what bit of code I need to specify which albums I want to appear.
I'm using the excellent zpGalleriffic theme.
Here is the code (modifyied a little to fit in with may website theme) on the gallery.php page which displays the album tiles:
<?php $lastcolnum=2; setOption('albums_per_row','2',false); } else { $lastcolnum=3; setOption('albums_per_row','3',false); }?>
<div id="album-wrap" <?php if ( (function_exists('printLatestNews')) && ($zpgal_zp_latestnews > 0) ) { ?>class="withsidebar"<?php } ?>>
<ul>
<?php $x=1; while (next_album()): $lastcol="";
if ($x==$lastcolnum) {$lastcol=" class='lastcol'"; $x=0;} ?>
<li<?php echo $lastcol; ?>>
<div id="port-bar" class="bar">
<div style="height: 30px; padding-top:6px;"><a style="text-decoration:none;" href="<?php echo htmlspecialchars(getAlbumLinkURL());?>" title="<?php echo gettext('View album:').getBareAlbumTitle(); ?>"><h9 class="title2" style="margin-left:7px;"><?php echo shortenContent(getBareAlbumTitle(),30,'...'); ?></h9></a></div></div><div class="boxer">
<?php if (strlen(getAlbumDesc()) > 0) { ?><a class="album-thumb" href="<?php echo htmlspecialchars(getAlbumLinkURL());?>" title="<?php echo gettext('View album:'); ?> <?php echo getBareAlbumTitle();?>"><?php printCustomAlbumThumbImage(getBareAlbumTitle(),NULL,264,163,264,163); ?></a>
<?php } else { ?>
<a class="album-thumb" href="<?php echo htmlspecialchars(getAlbumLinkURL());?>" title="<?php echo gettext('View album:'); ?> <?php echo getBareAlbumTitle();?>"><?php printCustomAlbumThumbImage(getBareAlbumTitle(),NULL,238,160,238,160); ?></a>
<?php } ?>
<div style="padding-top:14px;"><?php if (strlen(getAlbumDesc()) > 0) { ?><div><?php echo shortenContent(getAlbumDesc(),115,'...'); ?></div><?php } ?></div>
<div style="text-align:right"><small>
<?php printAlbumDate(); ?>
<?php if (getNumAlbums() > 0) { ?>• <?php echo getNumAlbums().' '.gettext('albums'); } ?>
<?php if (getNumImages() > 0) { ?>• <?php echo getNumImages().' '.gettext('images'); } ?>
<?php if (getCommentCount() > 0) { ?>• <?php echo getCommentCount().' '.gettext('Comment(s)'); ?><?php } ?>
</small></div></div>
</li>
<?php $x++; endwhile; ?>
</ul>
</div>Basically, what functions do I need to include in the define code, and what piece of code do I need to choose specific albums to be displayed (eg. photography-nature, photography-urban, and photography-reflections)?
The code all works fine in the gallery; I just need a little help in adapting it so I can use it as a plug in. Any help would be greatly appriciated!
