Hi everybody,

I just want to have the last X added images from an specified album. (where X is a number)

I checked the imageblock doc but imageblock is only for the whole gallery with recent|recent...
I also checked the G2Image Chooser code (thx capt_kirk!) but in this code, all items are parsed and then sorted.

There is no alternative to parse all the item and then sort it with a home function ?
Because, it seems to be something quite usefull but a lot of line to write...

Thanks for your help !

Benjamin

you can use the imageblock module for this just specify the g2_itemId of the album you want.

Thanks floridave.

Indeed, i think the doc isn't very clear on this point but right, it's work ... but for the link on the images, I have the link to gallery element and I want to have the link to the real image (ie. jpg files). I checked the doc of getImageBlock and there is one parameter 'href' but I don't think I can do what I want ...

Output for one element :

Quote:
<div class="one-image">
<a href="http://www.mywebsite.com/v/essai/Athl__te.jpg.html">

<img src="http://www.mywebsite.com/gallery2/d/41-2/Athl__te.jpg" width="150" height="112" class="giThumbnail" alt="Athlète"/>
</a> </div>

Here is my code to have the last 3 images of an album:

Quote:
<?php
require_once 'gallery2/embed.php';
$ret = GalleryEmbed::init(array('fullInit' => true, 'embedUri' => '/', 'g2Uri' => '/gallery2/main.php'));
if ($ret) {
GalleryEmbed::done();
print 'Echec de la galerie: ' . $ret->getAsHtml();
exit;
}

list ($ret, $itemId) = GalleryCoreApi::fetchItemIdByPath('essai');
if ($itemId) {
list ($ret, $bodyHtml, $headHtml) = GalleryEmbed::getImageBlock(
array('blocks' => 'recentImage|recentImage|recentImage', 'itemId' => $itemId, 'show' => 'none'));
}
print $bodyHtml;

GalleryEmbed::done();

?>

Docs are written by the user for the user so feel free to make it more clear.

The imageblock module does not have this switch. I think the 'href' parameter is for a custom link to what ever you like. I have never played with that so don't really know.
I guess you could make the <div> link to the image but wold take some coding to do.

How can i edit the API doc ? I did'nt find the 'edit' button.

Maybe i can have the path to the real image by another way than imageblock.
It seems that I will use/modify the code of capt_kirk in order to do that.

Thanks for your help

Sorry I did not mean the API documentation I was thinking of the codex:
http://codex.gallery2.org/Gallery2:Modules:imageblock
