Module: preformatted URLs (attachment + screenies, yay)

rebel2k
yes, some forums (e.g. phpbb) only accept urls that are simple .jpg / .gif / .png addresses.

so you should enable G2's short urls (activate the rewrite module) and you're set.

any updates on this? i would like unregistered users to be able and see.

damn you are right shocksll! Thanks for you hint ;) now it works well!!

just one think I must to know:

how can I make this plugin multilanguage?
maybe it would be enough when I could translate "Quick URLs" in 2-3 other languages!

i've downloaded geturls-0.8.5.zip and changed a few things.
- coding style: changed variable, class names (camelstyle)
- coding style: lines should be max 100 chars long
- fixed and removed a lot of things that didn't make sense
- weird: Callback.inc didn't serve a purpose before
- removed: getItemAdminViews
- changed: the view is now a normal view, it's no longer an admin view
- added: formatted URLs block: you can use it in the sidebar or on photo / album pages (see site admin -> themes -> themename -> blocks)
- added: GuestMode: choose in site admin whether to show URLs for the active user or for anonymous users
- added: shows now links for all items (album, photos, data items in general). resizes and fullsize only for photo items
- block options: width of the input fields (determines width of the block), showWarnings (long warnings are ugly in the sidebar)
- changed: warnings are only shown if we're in guestMode

nah, it's not ready for primetime, but much better than before.
GetUrls.tpl is a little messy, gotta rethink when to show what and clean up the html. maybe add JS to show the whole output minimized and only show more on click. minor changes needed.
then unit tests and then i'm +1 for a commit.

@module authors:
feel free to enhance the 0.9.0 version of the module. just wanted to clean it up a little since sooner or later, it would have been needed anyway

So to answer my own question it does look like that instead of this

$this->_reg_objects['g'][0]->url(array('arg1' => "view=core.DownloadItem",'arg2' => "itemId=".($this->_tpl_vars['block']['geturls']['LoadUrls']['thumbid']))

I should be doing this

$this->_reg_objects['g'][0]->url(array('arg1' => "view=core.ShowItem",'arg2' => "itemId=".($this->_tpl_vars['child']['thumbnail'])), $this);

But on an album or photo page would this code work?

$this->_reg_objects['g'][0]->url(array('arg1' => "view=core.ShowItem",'arg2' => "itemId=".($this->_tpl_vars['item']['thumbnail'])), $this);

There was some reason I made the callback.inc but I'm trying to remember why.

Ok, check out this page for instance.

http://eclecticthreads.thelineberrys.com/gallery2/gallery2embedded.php?g2_view=core.ShowItem&g2_itemId=1153

Click on customize and add to cart.

This will popup another window with the thumbnail image of the item in a box and allows people to enter values in the boxes.

So in the theme, I need to pass this popup page the url for the thumbnail in the querystring. I can get the url of the thumbnail for a child object in the album and according to your code above I should be able to get the thumbnail for an album/photo.

The reason i'm using php code instead of smarty code is because i'm calling some php functions I wrote in the smarty template, so no i'm not doing global $gallery...etc. I'm just doing a php block in the smarty template.

I'll give your code a shot when I get a chance. Originally when I was making this I just couldn't figure out how to get the thumbnails I needed so I created the callback in the getitemurls. Thanks.

Steve Lineberry

Nice changes valiant.

How do I make it a block but only visible to logged in users? Is this possible?

Could you make it possible to get all the URLs for an album at once from the album menu?

Got it working cheers Valiant.

Willing to have a look at giving a page of URLs coverin every item in an album?

i guess upgrading doesn't work 100%. please deactivate and uninstall the module, then install it again.

what exactly doesn't work? adding the geturls permission to the everybody group?

well, i can't reproduce the error... if it happens to anyone else, please let me know.

ah, bharat's relative URL changes in the core code have also a consequence on this module. i'll fix it.

Hello,

I am having some problems. I installed everything correctly but the main problems are:

1. I want normal viewers to be able to see the URL codes too. How do I do that?
2. You know on Photobucket.com, Imageshack.us and tinypic.com the URL codes are available on Photo and album view withgout clicking on any dropdown menus. Is their a way for me to display the URL codes on the photo view atleast?

Many thanks in advance.

My gallery: http://www.bdmilitary.com/gallery/main.php

I'd really like what bdmilitary is asking for, the only real missing feature of this great mod.

Valiant the custom features should be like this:

Hotlink for forums (1) [IMG]http://img502.imageshack.us/img502/6751/bdmil4uc.png[*IMG]
Hotlink for forums (2) [img=http://img502.imageshack.us/img502/6751/bdmil4uc.png]
Hotlink for Websites <a href="http://imageshack.us"><img src="http://img502.imageshack.us/img502/6751/bdmil4uc.png" border="0" width="600" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /></a>
Show image to friends http://img502.imageshack.us/my.php?image=bdmil4uc.png
Direct link to image http://img502.imageshack.us/img502/6751/bdmil4uc.png

The main aim I want to establish with my gallery is:

1. Have an image sharing/hosting service going
2. Image rating feature
3. Integration with my IPB database.

If I can get these three main features going I will be very happy since this this definitely the best gallery management software I have seen. I am really happy about it so far.

Valiant you are current, how about we just have "URL"?

Also I mainly want the full URL short cut codes on the Photo view pages as they will all fit their properly. In album view we could just have URL (The direct link) and thumbnail URL code linking to main photo page.

Thank you.

i'm experimenting. currently, i have added a javascript block toggle. so if you click on +, you see the URLs for a thumbnail, else it's just a single line.

Valiant can you also add a select (highlight) + copy feature for all the shortcut URL codes to make it easier for users because I have the PG theme and right click on their is disabled. Thank you.

i really want someone other to work on this module. i'm too busy.

i've added getItemSummaries in version 0.9.2 (get it from the first post). you can disable it in the site admin view.

it looks awful, that should be motivation enough to improve it.

things that need to be refactored in this module:
- templates/GetUrls.tpl is a big mess: it does too much logic (if/then/else, ..). Move as much logic as possible to the helper class function.
- Use different templates for the view, block and the itemSummaries.
- Add more site admin options
- Clean up GetUrlsSiteAdmin.inc controller, do first input validation, then db queries
- the helper function should better accept a list of Ids (better performance for getItemSummaries

Style:
- the getItemSummaries "block" needs a better html/css style etc.

much to do...so please someone take the 0.9.2 version of this module and work on it

upgrade to the latest nightly snapshot of G2. download link is in the upper right of this page.

downloads -> Nightly snapshots: Jesse Mullan's page -> gallery2
G2/gallery-2.0.1+-nightly.zip
or
G2/gallery-2.0.1+-nightly.tar.gz

for now, someone else has to develop this module further.
and you better activate hotlink watermark support.

you shouldn't lose anything.
