[Zenphoto hack] Random zenphoto picture('s) in Joomla - sanderdw - 2011-03-01
There is no good integration possible between Joomla 1.5/1.6 and Zenphoto 1.3. So i made a dirty hack to do this.
This code shows a random picture from Zenphoto with a link to the gallery. Albums or pictures that are unpublished are excluded.
I use the Jumi Joomla extension to execute php in a Joomla module or article.
2 problems:
- Images in Zenphoto have to be precached. Can't be fixed because only the original pics are stored in the database.
- png files don't work.
Explanation:
$num_displayed: The ammount of random pictures to show.
$path: The path to your cache folder
$ext:The last part of the cached images. You have to adjust it to your situation. Just look in de cache directory.
Example: _w595_h446.jpg or something like that.
mysql_query: In the example (see code part) the zenphoto tables are stored in a different database.
Adjust sander1x_oscalbum to the zenphoto database name. And make sure the Joomla database user can also acces to the Zenphoto database. Read rights is enough.
a href: Change it to your Joomla wrapper url
width='240': Adjust this to the desired width.
Code that you put in a Jumi module or article:
