Latest Albums Block

Hi Dari,

I see the new site nukedgallery is up - nice one! Very Happy

Is there or could there be a LATEST ALBUMS BLOCK?

The block would show the last 5 or 10 albums that had been uploaded and if possible show the HIGHLIGHTED photo.

Any ideas?

hmm...i think there's already one of those out there, but i'll double check.

<checking>

yep there is, but i don't think it's compatible with newer versions of PHPNuke / Gallery. I'll stick this on the TODO list.

actually, are you looking for the last 5 that have been uploaded or the ones that have been updated? (ie, totally new albums, or albums that have just had pictures added to them)

Hi Dari,

No just albums that are totally new UPLOADED (not updated)

Cheers

ah, this shouldn't be too hard, just a matter of date checking and such. if work is slow tomorrow i could have it done by the end of the day.

Hey!! I've just seen it!!
FANTASTIC - highlighted images as well!! Very Happy

When do we get the MOD?

Nice one Dari

actually, i've got this puppy tweaked so that you can tell if whether or not you want it to display the highlighted images (ie, for faster loading, you may just want a list)...lemme zip it up and dump it into the downloads. monitor my signature image, it'll change to read that the newest download is "Newest albums block"

I think I will use this as a center block - no problem there?
Also is it easy to get the album description to be displayed? No right for a side block I guess but would be great for the center.

Cheers

hmm...i have all these things set to be centered in the block (there's just a <center> tag there), and have breaks after each image/title. you may have to tweak the code around to have them line up side by side for a center block (just remove the break tags after each album title and you should be fine). as for the description, you could just add:

Code: ›
$content .= $currentAlbum->fields['description']."<br>";

underneath this line:

Code: ›
$content .= $parentTitle."".$currentAlbum->fields['title']."</a></center><br>";
