Random Thumbnailincluder

[seanspeng]

Pekka,

I was wondering if it would be hard to come up with a nice EE addon, called thumbnailincluder. Basically what it does is to display a number of thumbnails from the specific EE gallery, with a link to click back to that bigger original image.

Would like to have the following features:

configurable number of rows/columns/photos
configurable gallery page - could this just be the photo folder path?
If database query is used, be able to show Title and Author

The purpose of this addon is to let the web master to easily pull a number of thumbnail pictures from EE to some other pages within the web site.

I can email you a different version of it that we use for other program.

Thank you very much!

This is already done in beta 2. All html is in templates (photo and list pages now, other later).

You can pull out any 'block' from e.g. list page by calling the list page with special output parameter plus parameters for the query (perpage, exhibition, sorting, search etc.).

For example



will fetch html code for displaying 8 first microthumbs from exhibition 54, linked to corresponding photo page, in english language. The template called is 'embed.php' which contains the html output code without any stylesheets, in this case just it merely outputs image list and exhibition header simply for inserting them to any web page. Templates are very easy to do and you can have any number of them for different purposes.

Today I will work on 1.5 beta 2 updater scripts.

Pekaa,

Hope we can pull thumbnails too besides the microthumbs. That is excellent news!!! Look forward to our Beta 2! Many thanks as always for your timely reply!
