A demo plugin for wp

WeiChen

http://blog.dukechina.org/zen.phps

very easy demo to replace the tag [zp]album[/zp] in wp post with five random pictures in this album.

it can be easily modified to develop similar plugins.

genosypheus

looks very promising, at least from your blog. However, after following your instructions filling in all the required paths (i might have missed something) and puting [zp]"albumname"[/zp], i got this:

Warning: mysql_fetch_assoc(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /home/gioloves/public_html/wp-content/plugins/zenP.php on line 58

Warning: mysql_fetch_assoc(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /home/gioloves/public_html/wp-content/plugins/zenP.php on line 63

i suspect it's got something to do with prefix of the tables in zenphoto db. As my tables have no prefix, i did not enter anything in line 36 "define('zp_PRE',$conf['']); // prefix of the tables in db"

care to help me out? cheers

WeiChen

do not change this line
define('zp_PRE',$conf['mysql_prefix'])

it will get the configure automatically

genosypheus

I still can't get it. Same message. In step 2 of your intructions, you mentioned "2, change the following configuration of zenP". Could you specify exactly which lines must i change? So far I've changed

line 30: require_once("http://giolovesgod.com/gallery/zen/config.php");// your zenp config file

line34:
define('zp_PATH','http://giolovesgod.com/gallery');

That's it, 2 lines. Are my paths correct? What did i miss?

could you post your zen.php here for me to study?

WeiChen

use [zp]albumname[/zp], no quotes

require_once('/path/to/config.php'), the path of zenphoto config.php in your server, not URL.

genosypheus

Sorry WeiChen, I'm still at a lost. Keeps getting the same message. After changing two lines, Here's what i have:

add_filter('the_content', 'zenp');

require_once ("/home/gioloves/public_html/gallery/zen/config.php");


define('zp_DB',$conf['mysql_database']); // database of your zenp

define('zp_PATH','http://giolovesgod.com/gallery');

define('zp_PRE',$conf['mysql_prefix']); // prefix of the tables in db

function zenp($text) {
preg_match_all("#\[zp\](.*?)\[/zp\]#si",$text,$matches);

if(count($matches[0])==0) return $text;

for ($i=0; $i < count($matches[0]); $i++) {
$pos = strpos($text, $matches[0][$i]);
$gallery = $matches[1][$i];
$replace=wpzp(trim($gallery));
$text = substr_replace($text, $replace ,$pos,strlen($matches[0][$i]));
}
mysql_select_db(DB_NAME);//select the db of wordpress, or wp will not work.
return $text;
}

function wpzp($album,$n=5){
$db=mysql_select_db(zp_DB);
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `".zp_PRE."albums` WHERE `folder` = \"". $album ."\" LIMIT 1");
$_album = mysql_fetch_assoc($result);
//suppose the album exists.

$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `".zp_PRE."images` WHERE `albumid` = \"".$_album['id']."\" ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT ".$n);
$imgs = array();
while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result))
$imgs[] = $row;

$width=count($imgs)*89;
$str="<span style=\"width:{$width}px;text-align:center;border:1px solid #eeeeee;padding:0;background:#eeeeee;display:block\">";
$str .="Album: $album";
foreach($imgs as $img) {
$str .= "<img style=\"padding:2px 2px 4px 2px;display:inline\" src=\"".zp_PATH."/zen/i.php?a=" . urlencode($album) . "&i=" . urlencode($img['filename']) . "&s=thumb\" alt=\"\" />";
}
$str.="</span>";
return $str;
}

?>

Did i change the 2nd line correctly? Are there more lines to change/edit ?

In my post, i used this tag: [zp]Desktops[/zp]

and here's the error message:

Warning: mysql_fetch_assoc(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /home/gioloves/public_html/wp-content/plugins/zenP.php on line 58

Warning: mysql_fetch_assoc(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /home/gioloves/public_html/wp-content/plugins/zenP.php on line 63

Album: desktops

When I activate the plugin in wordpress i lose my admin panel. once i rename the file to deactivate it, i get everything back.. any ideas

WeiChen

You have to change two lines before activating it.

kaiedo

where's the file? can't even find the file =/

genosypheus

@kaiedo: it's right at the very top of this thread, after downloading it, change the extention to .php, then open it and edit 2 lines accordingly to your paths, before uploading to the wp-plugins folder and activating it.

Chilifrei64

This is great.. thanks for the code.. I now have it implemented on my site.. and now that I followed the directions.. it worked this time..

Not sure how hard it would be but I host wordpress blogs and zen photoalbums for friends, they would get confused if i tell them to write there own tags.. how hard would it be to add a button to auto insert the tags and prompt them for the album name? I know I am probably asking a bit much but just thought I would put in my 2 centes

kaiedo

btw, upload to the zen folder? can specify which folder?

kaiedo

oh rofl, i didn't read the intructions =p sorry =D

@WeiChen: Thanks a lot for the nice and easy plugin. It just took me a while to figure out that you had to use the [zp]-Tag not in the source code and with just these brackets. At first I thought it was an html-tag that had to be used in source code like this: ``. Maybe you'd like to add this to the instructions, for beginners like me ;-).

Another issue: If I click on one of the images displayed by the zp-tag and get directed to my gallery, this gallery is unable to show German umlauts, while in fact my gallery does show them. If one then reloads the gallery, the umlauts are shown. Is there any way I can modify the code to have the umlauts shown correctly at once?

Thanks in advance,
Claudia

Hello WeiChen,

I’m trying to use your plugin, I uploaded it on my site (http://jadawin.netsons.org) in the plugins directories and changed the 2 rows it said in the file, but once I call directly that file I get this error:

atal error: Call to undefined function add_filter() in /var/www/netsons.org/jadawin/wp-content/plugins/zen.php on line 28

what could be?… I tried to read the old comments to see if it was happened to someone else but not.and I’m using WP 2.2….

Thanks in advance, Luigi
