Dynamic Albums

alexsmith2709

Hi,
I have read the dynamic albums guide but when i use
`<?php<br />
zp_load_album('all.alb');

prepareAlbumPage();

?>`
i get this error:
`Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/adetaran/public_html/dev/themes/zpbase/index.php:18) in /home/adetaran/public_html/dev/zp-core/functions-common.php on line 501`
I dont really want to go messing with anything in the core files so could anyone help shed some light on how i would get this dynamic album to show on the home page. Im using the dynamic album as a way to show all images on the homepage.

I am using the zbBase theme and putting the code in the codeblock of the gallery.

Thanks,
Alex

The code example above is meant to be used programmatically on theme files, That worked last time I tried.

Since codeblocks go through a function call they are a bit different and the global context needed may generally not be setup correctly that easily.

Editing the theme might be a way. Or maybe it has an option for a custom page. Then you could create a new theme page for the multiple_layouts plugin and use that for the homepage.

Please review object model framework:

This will get you started... place in codeblock as you say (make sure codeblock is called in theme):

`

<?php </p>

$album = newAlbum('all.alb');

$images = $album->getImages();

foreach ($images as $image) {

$image = newImage($album,$image);

echo '

';

echo 'getThumb())).'" alt="'.html_encode($image->getTitle()).'" />';

echo '

'.$image->getTitle().'

';

echo '

';

}

?>

`

note there will be no pagination!

That's a way to do it via a codeblock. The other code has a different additional purpose additionally though. Just to mention it.

Yep, alexsmith2709 is asking how to do it in a codeblock

Thanks for your help. That code has helped. Now i need to work on the layout. Is it possible to use this code to create a masonry layout with images? I see in the multiple layout options of zpbase its only possible with albums.

Yes, of course, you would need to do some custom coding or take a look at what is already in zpBase and tailor it to your needs.
