I'm probably just overlooking something but I want to add some html code for widgets in a couple blocks to display in the sidebar and header. Is there a way to create ad-hoc blocks to do this? |

In the next few days I should be able to whip up a module for this. In the mean time you could use:
http://codex.gallery2.org/Gallery3:Modules:share_bookmark
and edit the view file that shows the html/JS code for a sidebar block.

Wow, that was super fast! thanks! I added the module but I'm not sure where to configure it... Do I edit the code_block.html.php file itself?
Posts: 27300
Yes. In the future I might add a UI to have a admin page, but since this is a one off deal most people will be comfortable editing a single file.

Care to take a shot at doing some documentation for this new module?

Could you provide example for php/js inserts for dummies?
Posts: 27300
Fader, I don't understand. This is not the place to learn JS and php.

This misunderstanding.
I don't understand - how to insert code like php/js.
How to edit code_block.html.php file? For example?
Posts: 27300
Fader the module instructs you to edit:
modules/code_block/views/code_block.php
.
For example I did:
<?php defined("SYSPATH") or die("No direct script access.") ?> <?= module::get_var("code_block", "code"); ?><br /> <SCRIPT language=JavaScript> <!--- var now=new Date(); document.write("The Time is "+now); // ---> </SCRIPT>and it wrote the suff I saved as well as the "The Time is"
then the time.
"
How can we be more specific that that?

Actually, aside from the template issue this brings up an interesting question. Is there a way to create multiple code blocks in a sidebar?
Posts: 27300
You could duplicate the code_block module and edit it to be code_block2 and you will have created your own module.
If you get stuck I can whip another up for you.
I guess I should learn how to add 2 blocks with one module.

Great solution for custom blocks.
How can I get the code block to show on all pages? For example, code block is not showing on Contact Owner or Dynamic Album pages
Posts: 27300
Replace the existing file code_block_block.php
with the attached renameing it to code_block_block.php

Perfect. Thanks Floridave.

The multiple code blocks works great! Thanks!
Posts: 27300
Glad it is working out. I was thinking of adding a some checkboxes on the admin page to allow the admin to select what type of page to show the block on; album. movie, photo, all.
Think that is a good idea?

Yes of couse.
I have idea too:
to add code rotate for block (if use js/php script). -> after refresh page this module will load next code from list.
Its really release?
Posts: 27300
I don't really understand, can you explain with a example?
Dave

example:
We have 2 js codes that want to add in 1 block, but that they were loaded in turn (not together) after pressing F5 in the browser.
Posts: 27300
I don't think I could do that. Are you thinking something along the lines of a random advertisement?
Got an example of this working outside gallery I can see?
Dave

Right. this used for random advertisement.
I have not exapmle for outside gallery, but there is Ad Rotator plug-in for Wordpress CMS.
Posts: 27300
There is lots of rotation JS scripts out there for adverts. Just plug one into a block and you should be good to go.

I think the checkboxes sound good...

Added some checkboxes to select the type of page the block should be on:

Bug: As of 3.0 Beta 3, every time you click save in admin, it double escapes all special characters. The first time you save, a ' becomes \' , the second becomes \\\' , the third becomes \\\\\\\' ... and so on and so forth.

Can you give an example?
Try the lateest version of G3. It was not tested against B3.

The multiple code blocks works OK.
However, gallery pages have several <div id="g-metadata" class="g-block">
and don't validate by validator.w3.org

Tried it on RC1, error is there, solved it for myself by putting everything in the code_block.html.php file
you can see it here, code block is called test 2

floridave,
To me the instructions were confusing. With the code block, you would normally add the code into the UI. However, for php/jsp, you're saying that that code should be added directly into the files. That's not how I understood it. I thought there was some kind of setting in the files that would allow you to enter php/jsp into the UI. So it was confusing. Just "edit the file" is not enough, it would be great if it said 'edit the file to add the desired php/jsp directly into the code block" or something like that.
Anisa.

Fixed in the docs:
http://codex.gallery2.org/Gallery3:Modules:code_block#Advanced_usage
Feel free to edit as you see fit. Did you want me to fix the text in the UI as well?
Dave

Is it possible to allow
.sidebar a:hover {color: #FF9933;
}
in the sidebar for code block using "class"?
Posts: 27300
Please explain with a URL.

OK on the left side you will see your Code Block. Below the heading NAVIGATION you will see three links. I want those to hover if possible:

.g-block-content a:hover {color:#0000FF!important;}Adjust the color as you need.
