Limit latest images to x album

osakamojo

Hi there. Great photo gallery, I really love it. Like many people though I am wanting to call thumbnails of gallery images from pages outside of the Zenphoto directory (linking to the gallery). I got the the latest images working great with this code (found after trawling the forums):

<?php

$images = getImageStatistic(6, "latest");

foreach ($images as $image) {
$imageURL = getURL($image);
echo '<a href="'.$imageURL.'" title="View image: ' .
$image->getTitle() . '"><img src="' .
$image->getThumb() .
'" alt="' . $image->getTitle() . "\"/>\n";
}
?>

This gives me the latest 6 photos from the whole gallery.
This works fine, but I what I really want is to limit the latest images to those of a particular album. How would I go about doing that? It must be possible, I just don't know enough about programming in general to make it happen. Can anyone help me out?

Thanks!

That's way to complicated anyway. We already have a function called printLatestImages for this...Please see the functions guide on www.zenphoto.org/documentation.

Limiting the imageStatistic to an album is not possible at the moment, but sounds like a good idea. Since it's not that difficult to implement I will get this as an option into the next nightly build.

I did this like this:

for the latest 6 in the album you are cuurently viewing:
`

<?php<br />
$photosArray = query_single_row("SELECT count(*) FROM ".prefix('images')); $photosNumber = array_shift($photosArray);

$images = getImageStatistic($photosNumber, "latest");

$album = $_zp_current_album->getFolder();

$x = 1;

foreach ($images as $image) {

$imageURL = getURL($image);

$check = substr_count($imageURL,$album);

if ($check == 1) {

$check = substr_count($imageURL,"flv");

if ($check == 0) {

echo 'getTitle() . '">getCustomImage(null, 30, 30, null, null, null, null) . '" width="30" height="30" alt="' . $image->getTitle() . ""/>";

}else{$x=$x-1;}

} else {$x=$x-1;}

if ($x++ >= 6) {

break;

}

}?>

`

and for the latest 6 images in a specific folder you can put the name in the fourth line (the name of the folder on the server's disk in caseyou have changed the title)

`

<?php<br />
$photosArray = query_single_row("SELECT count(*) FROM ".prefix('images')); $photosNumber = array_shift($photosArray);

$images = getImageStatistic($photosNumber, "latest");

$album = "specificfolder";

$x = 1;

foreach ($images as $image) {

$imageURL = getURL($image);

$check = substr_count($imageURL,$album);

if ($check == 1) {

$check = substr_count($imageURL,"flv");

if ($check == 0) {

echo 'getTitle() . '">getCustomImage(null, 30, 30, null, null, null, null) . '" width="30" height="30" alt="' . $image->getTitle() . ""/>";

}else{$x=$x-1;}

} else {$x=$x-1;}

if ($x++ >= 6) {

break;

}

}?>

`

it is not very nice code becuase it has to go trough aall your imeges and if you have many it can be a bit slow

FYI: I have submitted an update for getImageStatistic and its related functions that probably will be in one of the next svn.
