In other words : <cpg_gallery>1|5|1</cpg_gallery> will become CPGRndPicture(1, 5, 1,  »,  »,  »,  »); and finally :

  1. It makes more sense now, but I still don’t know what the different modes are for the ‘CPGPicture’ function. I looked into the code and I found that the nSize is not used. Why is that?

    Furthermore 2 ideas:
    1. In the admin part it would be really handy to show the picture id. I now have to use phpMyAdmin to look for it.
    2. Don’t use the filename for the picture title, but the ‘title’ field in coppermine. It’s more readable.

  2. 1. nSize
    1 => Thumbnail
    2 => Normal

    2. Indeed you are right. The picture id will be added and the filename will be replaced with the « caption » or « title » used in Coppermine.

  3. Just in case you need a translator for this plugin, I’m Dutch, so I could translate it for you in Dutch. I don’t know how a ‘plugin’ translation fits into the current translation interface of wordpress. Maybe you do?

  4. Hi Idaho Cline!
    Is there any chance you’ll be starting to do some serious coding in C#.NET?
    If not, don’t worry, I’ll still be a fan of yours.

  5. Several friends asked me to have a look indeed to .NET but until now I have had the time. But I, as always, never close a door…. 😉

    Thanks for your support !

  6. Hi Pascal,

    first of all, thank you for your great work, I really admire it. Though I have some problems:

    1. My blog is hosted on a different server as my Coppermine Gallery. I tried several things, even giving access form all hosts (via phpmyadmin), but I cannot access my gallery via my blog-server. Any suggestions?

    2. Finaly, I gave up and installed a wp-blog on my coppermine server. Everything works fine, I can see the thumbs in psnCPGAdmin.php, and the tumbs are even displayed in an post (using your tags). Still, the link from the thumbnail to the normal-sized image is not correct; I tried to fix this by changing the « Target address for the ‘See more pictures’ link in e-cards » in Coppermine (I read about this in the dev forum via wp.org), but it semms that this has actually no effect onto my settings.

    I would be very happy, if you could give me a hand on this – thank you very much. You can reach me via email for server deatils etc.

    Greetings,
    Markus

  7. Hey! The psnGallery for WP is excellent. I do have a couple issues – hopefully you can help me out with them.

    Issue 1 – While in the psnAdmin page, under « Coppermine Picture Viewer », it says « Album -1: no pictures found ». I have ~4500 pictures in my gallery, so it should find something.

    Issue 2 – clicking on a thumbnail image brings me to a file not found (404) error. it looks like it’s trying to link to the Coppermine « displayimage.php » file in the current directory. WordPress is installed in /wp and Coppermine is in /gallery. I know I could go in and probably fix it, but if you already know of where to fix it, that would be cool.

    thanks!

  8. Joel: issue 1 : can you provide me a dump of your wp_psnGallery table ?
    issue 2 is fixed with version 1.2.2
    Markus : issue 1 : can you provide me the same dump ? (of both servers) But if the « coppermine » dbserver is located on another server, the dbserver must be a « reachable » servername (something else than localhost)..this is rare…
    issue 2 : same answer…

  9. Dear Pascal,

    seemed to be a problem on my side. Issue 1 (wrong path) got fixed with 1.2.2.; Issue 2 is a problem on my server. I installed CP on another server, and voil

  10. hey! actually, both of my issues are fixed with version 1.22 – honestly. if you lived closer to me, I’d buy you a beer 🙂

  11. How should I use the functions in my index.php? As you can see on my page I only get back the text.

  12. okay ! I saw your site.
    The easiest way is to show a sample :
    < ?php CPGRndPicture(-1, 4, 1,'

  13. ',''); ?>

  15. Hi, your software is indeed very interesting, I have got it to work on my blog. The only
    problem that I have trouble understanding is how do we know what is the picture number in the
    Coppermine Gallery ? In fact, since all the album are only has a « album name », how do we know
    what is the « album number  » ? Can you kindly help me here ?

    Thank you.

  16. You get the « picture id » via the Administration page (within the url). In the coming release, as you can see on this site, the « picture id » is displayed once you put your mouse over the picture (title of the image).

  17. I saw that you were able to display the symbol « < " in your comment, can you tell me how you do that ? In my blog, when I type "<" or ">« , they are interpreted as PHP codes. But I want to make
    them appear as text. Can you enlighten me on this ?

  18. To display < or > you have to use the HTML entities… &lt and &gt

  19. I’m sorry, i just don’t understand how to use the tags, i have it figured out how to post X amt of random pictures from a certain gallery, but other than that, i don’t have any idea… i think i just don’t think in the ways you described how the tags work… can anyone help me better understand? the whole ($elems[ 0 ], $elems[ 1 ], $elems[ 2 ], $elems[ 3 ], $elems[ 4 ], $elems[ 5 ], $elems[ 6 ]) thing just confuses me!
