Latest Images / Most Viewed Hack

I saw a post earlier, but did not see an answer, (or just plain missed it).
I have the stats.php etc installed and it works fine, but I was wondering if I can have it chk only 1 album.
When I upload new pics it is always to a specific album. After a few weeks there I then transfer them out, (to be replaced by new uploads), to a seperate Collection album.
The program picks up not only the newest in the upload album (which is correct) but it also picks up the files which have been recently moved into their permanent albums. (the perm albums see these as new pics on the day they are transferred in.)
Thanks for a lot of work you have abviously put into this app.

Hi dagman... thinking again about what you are doing - I wonder if your album of new photos contains sub-albums and you want to include those ones too? If that's the case then get back to me and I will do a minor change (hopefully!) to make it work in that way.

Cheers, J

BTW what's your website address?

Oops....addy is http://grisier.com/hideaway

This Gallery happens to be password controlled however so will email you a guest entance to see it working. BTW, I also have a Random Pic nlock and have not noticed any problems with adding yours.

Dagman44

Well I have the other kind also. This just happens to be the one I am working on at the moment.

But a real big thanks for your expertise...

tp,
I asked the same question... well sort of:

and the myriagon said:

See this thread:
http://gallery.menalto.com/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&p=59477#59477

thanks floridave.. i will check it out..

ya myriagon, i see what you are talking about.. comparing to Albums.php i found your line 442..

I changed "nowrap" to "wrap" and all is well..

Thanks!

tp, glad to hear you found it. I do remember something about changing wrap to nowrap because I wanted the image title (caption) to appear on one line. I'll try changing it back to see if it has any other side effects.

samokk, sounds like someone has removed the isAlbumName function from classes/Album.php That's surprising given the function is called from lots of Gallery files. I'll have a look to see what they have replaced it with.

The viewing by votes code should be switched off as it's dependent on changes I made to several Gallery files. You are welcome to the code but unfortunately it won't work after a Gallery upgrade.

Cheers, J

Thanks Dave - more details here http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/gallery/gallery/classes/Album.php

I will leave it "as is" for now until the developers release a beta or rc. It would be good though if the same api could be kept for backward compatibility.

Guess I will have to sign up to the developers list to find out what's happening.

Cheers, J

The reason why the isAlbumName change is being made can be found here http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=903936&group_id=7130&atid=107130

It's going to make it painful to support different versions of Gallery if the underlying api is changing... Hopefully this will be resolved by the time we get a release.

I really like your "style" with the shadow behind the albums and the total lack of border lines. Would you mind terribly if I based mine on it? I would very much like to make mine look similar. Posting what some of your changes are would make me happy, do you use a theme or did you edit the files?

Hi fryfrog, if you're talking about my website then you are welcome to use the style. I use a "tearoom" skin which I will post on my website hopefully tomorrow when I add a "Software" page.

Cheers, J

Actually, I opened my big mouth and started typing before I hit the books. It turns out that... a) there is a "shadows" option (I was using poleroid), b) there is a "solid line" around thumbs option and c) getting rid of the bars around the tables (or what ever they are) was as easy as finding the right 1px setting in the skin (theme?).

It looks similar to yours, but your "shadow" is quite a bit nicer looking and more pronounced.

I have to say I really love the following picture

Hi Stephen,

Thought this could be useful for other people so I will post it here...

Try adding the following to stats.php - anywhere near the top will do.

echo "max_execution_time = ".ini_get("max_execution_time")."<br />";
echo "memory_limit = ".ini_get("memory_limit")."<br />";
echo "post_max_size = ".ini_get("post_max_size")."<br />";
echo "upload_max_filesize = ".ini_get("upload_max_filesize")."<br />";

I'm particular interested to hear what the memory_limit is. Mine is 8M.

Cheers,

Jeremy

myriagon,
Here is my response for the test that you requested.

I doubt that I have no memory limit! :D

operating system: FreeBSD 4.8-RELEASE
php version: PHP 4.3.2

Dave

Okay, after digging in php.ini I discovered some stuff. And also from <?php phpinfo(); ?> as well.

From php.ini (these were all modified, then apache2 was restarted)

max_execution_time = 120
memory_limit = 16M
post_max_size = 16M
upload_max_filesize = 100M

From phpinfo();

max_execution_time 120 120 
--disable-memory-limit (a ./configure option)
post_max_size 16M 16M
upload_max_filesize 100M 100M

From stats.php after adding the code to a "debug" section

max_execution_time = 120
memory_limit = 
post_max_size = 20971520
upload_max_filesize = 20971520

So the execution time is increased to 120, the memory limit isn't there (due to the --disable-memory-limit I assume) but the other two values are not the same. Any idea why?

fryfrog,

My system level php knowledge is very limited but there's some coupling between the different system values that may explain what you're seeing - more info at http://www.phpworld.com/manual2003/configuration.directives.html

Cheers, J

I will let this link explain how to fix the upload limit and actually get those values to change

Hi all,

I have implemented this wonderful script on my site but I was wondering if there is a way to change the capture date format. Currently it's showing the capture date as 22/10/2003 when the picture was really taken 10/22/2003. Is there any way to change that?

Here is a link to my site: http://photos.rizzay.com/ and click on "Newest Photos" on the right.

Thanks!

Terge, try using the previous version of stats.php. That one is less coupled to the Gallery api than the latest version. You can download it from www.tearoom.me.uk/stats.1.52.tar.gz If that doesn't work then I recommend that you use a stable version of Gallery unless you have a very good reason to be at the bleeding edge. BTW what did you do to workaround the undefined function isalbumname()

rizzay, I've made a minor mod to do what you want. Download the latest version (1.61) from www.tearoom.me.uk/stats.tar.gz It now defaults to US date format. I stopped it showing the century to be consistent with the upload date. If anyone wants the UK date format there's a variable at the top - $captureDateFormat that needs changing to do this.

bigTrainG, if you can, I suggest upgrading Gallery although I must say that I don't like that idea myself given all the changes that I've made to the standard 1.4.1 code! If you don't want to upgrade and you know php, have a look at albums.php - stats.php uses a lot of code from albums.php for the display. What you need to do is transplant the relevant section of albums.php into stats.php.

fryfrog, thanks for posting that link. Hopefully it will help Shoobee... if indeed his problem is a resource one. BTW that photo you love was one of the few taken by my wife. She was very pleased to hear that you like it

myriagon, is it difficult to include last comments hack in the stats.php?

Best Regards,
Terje

Hi Stephen,

It could be the memory. I've just tested my server again and it is unlimited now - not 8M as I said before. Maybe I confused the memory with another setting or something has changed on my ISP's server. Anyway try adding this code near the top of stats.php...

if (ini_set("memory_limit", "100M"))
    echo "Set memory limit<br>";
else
    echo "couldn't set memory limit<br>";

echo "memory_limit set to = ".ini_get("memory_limit")."<br>";

I'm not sure if you will be able to set the memory but it's worth a try. You could also try using "-1" instead of "100M", or even "-1M" (not sure of the correct syntax).

Regards,

Jeremy

Hi Stephen,

I don't think memory is the issue. 100M should be more than enough. I'll have a look at the other parameters to see if there's anything else that could be causing your issue. Unfortunately I'm no expert on php settings. It might be worth posting on a php forum. Someone there might have an idea.

Regards,

Jeremy

Hey Jeremy,
I found the following resource limits from my provider (1and1.com - the free 3-year hosting promotion they had):

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Important: Please optimize your scripts relative to memory usage and CPU time. Our system automatically stops scripts that use too many system resources.

Programming Limits:

Professional Package CPU : 6 seconds @ 100%
Memory : 10240KB (10MB)
Numerical Processes : 12
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Is this perhaps the reason behind stats.php not working for me?

Thanks!

Hi Terge,

Thanks for the suggestion to display recent comments - hope you like the result

It's cool to be able to see all your Gallery comments in one place and should encourage people to post new comments. I wasn't sure about having a link to the Add Comment window. I left it out for now. Maybe it should be configurable if the Add Comment link appears or not.

The latest code (1.70) can be found at www.tearoom.me.uk/stats.tar.gz

If you want to get this working with the bleeding edge Gallery version then try changing:

$albumDB = new AlbumDB(FALSE);
if ($debug >= 2)
{
        echo "Retrieved album database.<br>";
}

//$list = $albumDB->albumList;
// Retrieve all albums and store in list array.
// This can be done using new AlbumDB() but this doesn't work
// on all hosts.
$numTopAlbums = $albumDB->numAlbums($gallery->user);
for ($i = 1; $i<=$numTopAlbums; $i++)
{
        $topAlbum = $albumDB->getAlbum($gallery->user, $i);
        $list[] = $topAlbum;
        recurseAlbums( $topAlbum );
}

to...

$albumDB = new AlbumDB();
if ($debug >= 2)
{
        echo "Retrieved album database.<br>";
}

$list = $albumDB->albumList;

Cheers,

Jeremy
