printLatestImages not working

kaypun

Hi,
Zen photo was working great till a few weeks ago from May, so I took it down, did a fresh install into a different directory. I'm having troubles pulling out the latest photo uploaded - it used to display a thumbnail and link to that image with printLatestImages the front page of my web site. I have looked around posts and documentation and can't understand how this has changed since previous version. Can anyone help?

thanks, carol

What version were you running?
What version did you install fresh?

Is the front page of your WEB site a zenphoto page or someting else where you are using one of the hacks to get zenphoto objects?

Hi,

Thanks so much for getting back to me, The version I installed in April was 1.15, the version I installed today is 1.2.2. I want to check a backup tomorrow with the code I was using on the page - just want to make sure I have the exact code. The way it was configured was I put some php code with the path in the header and then the printlatestimage 1 code where I wanted the thumbnail to be positiioned.
Thanks, I'll post more tomorrow.

Please try the nightly, we had some trouble with the thumb generation in that plugin (if I recall correctly).

Oh, forgot to answer, just a standard php page outside of the directory - I believe I was using one of the hacks, but I had trouble finding documentation about that so that is why I wonderered if there was a different approach. I'll try the nightly build later. But if there is a new way, can you guide me instructions? Thanks so much.

You were surely looking for this then: http://www.zenphoto.org/2008/01/hacks/#zenphoto-as-plugin

Hi, thanks to both of you. I just put in the build from the l1th and tried using the code above as well as code from before. This is what I had used in previous versions - in header
<?php
define('ZENFOLDER', 'zp-core');
define('WEBPATH', 'today');
require_once(WEBPATH . "/" . ZENFOLDER . "/template-functions.php");
header ('Content-Type: text/html; charset=' . getOption('charset'));
?>

and then where the photo would appear:
<?php
printLatestImages(1);
?></p>

So today I used the code in the link above (for trying a random picture) and am getting mySQL errors. I am considering upgrading mySQL to 5 since I have read that is ideal, but still wondering if this feature that I want is still possible.

Thanks so much

The function is what you are looking for. But you probably need to include the plugin like the template functions to make use of that function.

kaypun

sorry for bothering you, I am not sure what you are saying include the plugin like the template functions. Any chance you can give me a direction in terms of the code?

thanks!

I mean this: `require_once(WEBPATH . "/" . ZENFOLDER . "/plugins/image_album_statistics.php");
