Plugin for generating links to the current photo...

I've removed the checkbox on the EmbedLinks admin page for enabling / disabling the buttons on the sidebar (this isn't necessary anymore with the dynamic sidebar feature in Gallery 3). The new code can be downloaded from this post, or from my github account.

Sorry, there isn't a batch-generate option. There is an option for generating links to albums instead of photos, perhaps you could use the album link instead?

Links for the dialog boxes are generated in the modules\embedlinks\controllers\embedlinks.php file.
Links for the "in-page" option are generated in modules\embedlinks\views\embedlinks_photo_block.html.php and modules\embedlinks\views\embedlinks_album_block.html.php.

Hey rWatcher,

I'm working on some mods to this to put a link icon at the top of the sidebar rather than the buttons somewhere down the side. I still have some work to do in the administration, etc. but you can take a look at it here [img]http://photos.orionranchobservatory.com/var/thumbs/Astrophotography/IC434%20-%20Horsehead%20Nebula%20Wide%20Field%20-%20090219b%20crop.jpg?m=1277091085[/img] if you're interested.

Hello. This is a great module.
I will work with the bb-code in a forum, but it doesn't works.

The Problem is, the bb-code must ending on: .jpg oder .png or whatever. But the ending on the bb-code is at the moment: .png?m=1291216240

for example at the moment:

and i need:

or

or whatever.

I hope you can follow me. And sorry for my english.

Chris,

I suppose you've tried deleting the "?m=1291216240" extension.

Chris,

I'm also a newbie, but as far I can see double or triple images are not possible in a directory (or the original has .png, .gif and .jpg).
If you have the possibility check the /var/albums directory and you can see how the images are stored.

Here is the latest version of the embedlinks module. It has been fully tested against Gallery 3.0.2.

Changes in this version:
-- Updated module.info for G3.0.2
-- Fixed the flowplayer embed code to work properly with the latest version of Gallery 3.
-- Updated the flowplayer embed code to support the videos module.
-- Added the toolbar icon from Lord Beowulf's mod into the module -- Toolbar icon leads to a "tabbed" dialog containing HTML/BBcode/URLs. This can be turned off from the admin screen.

looks to me like you fixed it. I bet it was some CSS fix. You might want to post what you did to contribute back to the community.

Here is what i did.

This is not an elegant solution! In fact, it will disable the "Show Full URL" functionality of your module. I highly recommend you look at this file in a program that highlights code by color, such as EditPlus. It will make it easier to read my comments and understand what is changing. You should turn on Word Wrap by going to Document -> Word Wrap in the menu bar, to make it easier to read.

1. I went to /modules/embedlinks/views/ and edited the "embedlinks_photo_block.html.php" file. Specifically, i went to line 184 (which begins the "Full URL" portion of the code)

2. I edited the code (see code blocks below for "before" and "after")

3. I went to Admin Panel. Went to Settings -> EmbedLinks. I have only 2 boxes checked: "Show the full URL" and "Show Links In The Actual Page". I chose Full URL mode because it was the shortest one (4 text boxes). "Show BBCode Links" mode has something like 12-16 text boxes...WAY too many options for the average user. I didn't want to overwhelm the user with options. A thumbnail and a large image is really all they need.

Hope this helps!

The old lines 184 to 217 look like this:

<? if (module::get_var("embedlinks", "FullURL")) { ?>
<h3 align="center"><?= t("URLs")?></h3>
<table class="g-embed-links">
  <tbody>
    <tr>
      <th><?= t("This Page:") ?></th>
      <td><input type="text" value="<?= url::abs_site("{$item->type}s/{$item->id}") ?>" onclick="this.focus(); this.select();" readonly></td>
    </tr>

    <tr>
      <th><?= t("Thumbnail:") ?></th>
      <td><input type="text" value="<?= $item->thumb_url(true) ?>" onclick="this.focus(); this.select();" readonly></td>
    </tr>

  <? if ($item->is_photo()) { ?>
    <tr>
      <th><?= t("Resized:") ?></th>
      <td><input type="text" value="<?= $item->resize_url(true) ?>" onclick="this.focus(); this.select();" readonly></td>
    </tr>
  <? } ?>
  
<?  if (access::can("view_full", $item)) { ?>
    <tr>
      <? if ($item->is_movie()) { ?>
      <th><?= t("Video File:") ?></th>
      <? } else { ?>
      <th><?= t("Full size:") ?></th>
      <? } ?>
      <td><input type="text" value="<?= $item->file_url(true) ?>" onclick="this.focus(); this.select();" readonly></td>
    </tr>
<? } ?>

  </tbody>
</table>

The new code now goes from lines 184 to 227, and looks like this (comments are mine, just to better explain my usage):

<? if (module::get_var("embedlinks", "FullURL")) { ?>
<!-- Comments below are from Chasden, to go with my post in the EmbedLinks thread, located at

<table class="g-embed-links">
  <tbody>
    <tr>
      <th><?= t("This Image:") ?></th> <!-- The text you want next to Link #1 goes in the quotes -->
      <td><input type="text" value="<?= $item->file_url(true) ?>" onclick="this.focus(); this.select();" readonly></td>
    </tr> <!-- I didn't change the above at all -->

    <tr>
      <th><?= t("BBCode (Thumbnail):") ?></th> <!-- The text you want next to Link #2 goes in the quotes -->
      <td><input type="text" value="[url=<?= url::abs_site("{$item->type}s/{$item->id}") ?>][img]<?= $item->thumb_url(true) ?>[/img][/url]" onclick="this.focus(); this.select();" readonly></td> 
    </tr> <!-- Added [URL=  ...  ] and [img] tags around the php code that already there. If you don't want BBCode, just edit the BBCode to be something else. The stuff in between the <question marks> is always the URL of the image, so don't edit it -->

  <? if ($item->is_photo()) { ?>
    <!-- THIS IS WHERE I GOT THE BOXES TO BE WIDER 
		I believe you could make this change anywhere. I'm not sure why i only had to do it once.
		Look on Line 209. Right after the [/url] tag, i added size="120".

    <tr>
      <th><?= t("BBCode (Forum Size):") ?></th> <!-- The text you want next to Link #3 goes in the quotes -->
      <td><input type="text" value="[url=<?= url::abs_site("{$item->type}s/{$item->id}") ?>][img]<?= $item->resize_url(true) ?>[/img][/url]" size="120" onclick="this.focus(); this.select();" readonly></td> <!-- Added [URL=  ...  ] and [img] tags around the php code that already there -->

      <th><?= t("HTML (Medium):") ?></th> <!-- The text you want next to Link #4 goes in the quotes -->

    </tr>
<tr>

<? } ?>

  </tbody>
</table>	<!-- If you have Google Adsense banner ad info, you can put it right here, and you'll get a banner ad below your Embed Codes. Put <center> .... </center> around it so it lines up properly -->
	

I was so happy to see this module! I do have a feature request, but I have no idea how difficult this would be.

Photobucket also gives you IMG CODE links; which work much better for inline images on many PHP forums. Flickr doesn't do this. So the code I need for all my music forums (sorry to sound self interested here) is:

IMG (surrounded by square brackets) the_url_goes_here /IMG (surrounded by square brackets) Is this hard to do? I would gladly make a donation for this. Anyway - please don't think I don't already appreciate your work, because I can just strip the "<a href= etc from your HTML links. Just thought it might be a cool thing to have. Thanks very much for your work.

That's it! I'm just blind. Fantastic thank you.

Brilliant module! Just what I needed...thanks.

I have some problems with this module. I am just playing around a little bit to set up my photo page. Currently I am using the GreyDragon Theme and the Sidebar Blocks look strange. Also the popup with (the one you get when clicking the icon) is working but looks very strange (see attached file).
Using the Wind theme everything is ok.
Using the clean canvas theme there is only a linebreak issue in the sidebar. The same can be seen in the attached image, there is a line break missing between the "show BBCode" and "Show URL".
I already tried to deactivate all other modules, sidebar elements and played around with the theme settings.

Can somebody help me with this problem?

Thank you.

Hi all! Been a while since I've been around. The gallery's been working pretty well and I've been spending my time generating content rather than editing the gallery. However, I just let the system upgrade to V3.04 which broke my theme, etc. and am now bringing other modules up to date. rWatcher, nice changes to the control. I like the tabbed approach. Only two comments there that I may try to address if I get the time. Both relate to behavior when the dialog is displayed. The first is simply that the active tab isn't highlighted. The second is that it always defaults to HTML. I'd come up with a scheme that remembered the last active mode so that when I'm copying lots of links, I don't have to navigate any more than necessary. I understand that may not be desirable for everyone, so maybe it could be an admin option. And I'll second the desire to lose the ?m=1356467817 extension since I always have to manually edit that out for the websites where I post bbcode. I may have a look into that as well.

At any rate, great work. Hope to have time to check in more often, but probably won't! =)

Beo
