Render Model

If you just use my code example, it will produce a blank page as there's no output. It's up to you to do something with data sets as that's completely up to each person on what they're trying to achieve.

 

Yes, i gathered that. Thanks. Any examples of code would be appreciated. Even if it was just to show the possibilities.
Thanks again.

Upto now, i have got 5 images in a row using;

Code:

echo '<img src="forums/' . $photo['thumbnailUrl'] . '" title="Image by: ' . $photo['username'] . '" height="100" width="100"/>';

Now to work on linking the thumbnail to the main image.

 

To link the photo, you look at the existing URL structure for a gallery photo

Code:

/gallery/photos/[photo_title].[photo_id]/

So in my given code you can take the photo title, make it simple URL friendly structure

Code:

$photourl = preg_replace('/[^a-zA-Z0-9\-\s]+/','',strtolower($photo['title']));
$photourl = str_replace(' ','-',$photourl );

So for your img url it would be

Code:

echo '<a href="forums/gallery/photos/'.$photourl.$photo['photo_id'].'/" title="View photo '.photo['title'].'"><img src="forums/' . $photo['thumbnailUrl'] . '" title="Image by: ' . $photo['username'] . '" height="100" width="100"/></a>';

 

That doesnt seem to work either. The url comes as forums/gallery/photos// with no picture id
The code i have added is:

Code:

echo '<a href="forums/gallery/photos/'.$photourl.$photo['photo_id'].'/" title="View photo '.&photo['title'].'"><img src="forums/' . $photo['thumbnailUrl'] . '" title="Image by: ' . $photo['username'] . '" style="border: dotted 1px #000;" hspace="3" height="100" width="100"/></a>';

The "$" was missing from your code before the photo[title] but still it doesnt link to the original picture.

Lookin at the url of photos on my site, they look like:

Code:

mydomain/forums/gallery/photos/flycolour-on-me.14096/

 

Sorry it's $photo['content_id'] instead of $photo['photo_id']. I don't know why $photourl isn't working. You don't really need it anyway as it's just for the full vanity URL and can contain anything (or not even be there) as long as the content_data_id is present.

edit: fixed content_id

Code:

foreach ($contents as $photo) {
    $photourl = preg_replace('/[^a-zA-Z0-9\-\s]+/','',strtolower($photo['title']));
    $photourl = str_replace(' ','-',$photourl);
    echo '<a href="forums/gallery/photos/'.$photourl.'.'.$photo['content_id'].'/" title="View photo '.$photo['title'].'"><img src="forums/' . $photo['thumbnailUrl'] . '" title="Image by: ' . $photo['username'] . '" style="border: dotted 1px #000;" hspace="3" height="100" width="100"/></a>';
}

 

Now the photo id number doesnt match the member whos photo it is. Most are not found at all.
ie
my-photoname.2473
directs to
my-photoname.1345
Goes to a different users gallery entirely.
Even sometimes a different picture name entirely.

I'll just direct every image to the full gallery for now as i was before.

 

I'm sorry, trying to rush responses without checking the field data. It's content_id, not content_data_id. I've modified my post above.

 

Thats the one. Thanks for your persistence.
Another thing i have noticed is that sometimes five images show as expected, but sometimes with an F5 refresh, only 3 or sometimes 4 images show. Why could this be, as it may look rubbish on my page if the full amount are not shown every time.

 

With that particular code it is getting the latest 5 albums and displaying one image from each. Currently it is not checking whether a photo exists in the album or not.

Change

Code:

$albums = $gallerymodel->getAlbums(array(), array('order' => 'random', 'limit' => 3, 'offset' => 0));

to this

Code:

$albums = $gallerymodel->getAlbums(array('photo_count' => array('>=',1)), array('order' => 'random', 'limit' => 3, 'offset' => 0));

 

Your a star. Thanks so much

 

Great, thanks. I'm yet to become familiar with all the functions I should be using that's built into XenForo already.

 

How would that be included if the code i have at the moment is

Code:

echo '<a href="/forums/gallery/photos/'.$photourl.'.'.$photo['content_id'].'/" title="View photo '.$photo['title'].'"><img src="/forums/' . $photo['thumbnailUrl'] . '" title="Image by: ' . $photo['username'] . '" style="border: solid 1px #000;" hspace="3" vspace="3" height="65" width="65"/></a>';

Thanks
