[TESTING] Newest Photo Block

dari · Posted: Tue Nov 04, 2003 1:49 pm Post subject: [TESTING] Newest Photo Block

If you would be interested in testing the Newest Photo block, as seen on http://phpnuke.nukedgallery.net (lower left block), please post here. If there are enough responses, I will make it available for download.

This block scans your albums, and calculates the newest photo, based on upload date. The result is written to disk for speed purposes. The cache file is checked/updated once per hour to maintain a near real-time experience.

Hi Dari, I've just tried to install the newest photo block. I have changed the path to reflect my gallery installation, but I get several errors. I am using php-nuke 6.9, and gallery 1.4.1 (i forget which cvs).

Taking the errors one at a time, I get a similar foreach() error as seen a lot in the random block. I have read your FAQ (D1), however, there is not a similar "session" variable to change as in the random block. Here are my exact errors:

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /homepages/12/d88411853/htdocs/blocks/block-NG-NewestPhoto.php on line 75

Warning: arsort() expects parameter 1 to be array, null given in /homepages/12/d88411853/htdocs/blocks/block-NG-NewestPhoto.php on line 85

Warning: First argument to array_keys() should be an array in /homepages/12/d88411853/htdocs/blocks/block-NG-NewestPhoto.php on line 86
ERROR: requested index [-1] out of bounds [0]
Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /homepages/12/d88411853/htdocs/modules/gallery/classes/Album.php on line 987

Line 75-ish area is:

Code: › function scanNewestPhoto() {
global $gallery, $albumDB;

foreach ($albumDB->albumList as $tmpAlbum) {
   $name = $tmpAlbum->fields["name"];
   $title = $tmpAlbum->fields["title"];
   getNewestPhoto($name);
}
}

Any ideas?

Found another small problem. The newest photo seems to show up fine, but when you click on the photo or the album, an error page comes up: "Sorry, such file doesn't exist..." The address in the location bar it's trying to load is: "http://www.plainrice.com/modules.php?set_albumName=arborfest08312002&id=My_Pictures0024&op=modload&name=&file=index&include=view_photo.php"

I get this as well. The problem appears to be that "name" is blank.

eg op=modload&name=&file=index
where it should be
op=modload&name=gallery&file=index

If you add "gallery" to the url it works fine, how do we update the blocks? On my (new) site both blocks are having the problem (block-NG-mostPopular and block-NG-NewestPhoto)
eg http://www.getitindia.net

Cheers,

here is the solution (hehe, my first post here):

1. change $GALLERY_MODULENAME to $GALLERY_MODULENAME_LOCAL
at the beginning, as well as in the readNewestPhoto() function of the original code

2. in readNewestPhoto() function, add
$GALLERY_MODULENAME=$GALLERY_MODULENAME_LOCAL;
after the global $balabalabal.... line.

done!

let me know if you have any problem.

Agreed, that seems to work. I'm gonna look through the code to see what I can find....Dari a lil' help tho?

hmm..well the latest code bunch available should work, depending on your gallery version. The GALLERY_MODULENAME variable should work, though it may just be available on the 1.4.1 CVS version (which you should upgrade to once it is finally released..lots of cool features Wink

).

i'm using the same cvs version of gallery as you guys, v1.4.1-cvs-b208 so it shouldn't be a problem with the gallery itself.

I.ve made the changes suggested by efurban but no luck....i must be missing something.. will keep looking

Thanks for your help,
Steve

fixed!

in the newest block files, after the line "global $gallery;" (about line 30)

add

"global $GALLERY_MODULENAME;" (without the quotes obviously).

It works with or with out the changes efurban mentions above. I've installed googletap and this block works fine now, i guess i would work normally as well.

good luck,
Steve

I have just discovered and installed this block on my site (Nuke 6.9+Gallery 1.4.1). It works great, but I'm having one problem:

I have two galleries. One has "everybody" for permissions, and the other has "logged in" for permissions. However this block is showing pictures from the "logged in" album to guests.

I know the random photo block does not do this, so maybe its easy to add? Sorry I don't have any php knowledge I am just curious if someone could help me.
