Feature request: searching of image name, album, and description.

Should involve a simple SQL query and another page or two of PHP code.

Yep, I know. Definitely on the list.

Awesome.

Zenphoto is far and away the best photo gallery I've seen in a long time. Nice work.

I have implemented a quick hack for the search feature. It needs to be integrated into the whole zenphoto framework (which I am not very familiar with). Files are at http://rv101.dyndns.org/~rv101/zen

[search.php] goes to your zen root document.
This is a copy of themes/default/index.php with a search form, and it uses next_search_album() instead of next_album(). In this files, the function next_search_album() may be integrated into the file zen/template-functions.php.

[classes.php] needs merging with zen/classes.php
This adds the method searchAlbums() to the Gallery class. It is a copy of the method getAlbums(), but does a SQL query instead of scanning a directory for albums. This code needs to be secured (nasty things can be done here).

[TODO]
1-SQL query code needs to be secured
2-Code needs to be integrated with the zenphoto framework (add maybe a new context, put search.php in themes)
3-Add the navigation index on the bottom of the search results

Hope this may be useful to someone
demo is available at http://gallery.rv101.dyndns.org

Is search still not part of the core at all or am I blind?

obviously the code has changed a little bit since this hack, if there isnt a core search yet, anyone mind helping me get this hack to work? I think the getalbums function has changed since this hack and since the searchalbums function is based of it, it wont work. I get the following error when i get a search result:

`Warning: array_flip() [function.array-flip]: Can only flip STRING and INTEGER values! in /home/........./gallery/zen/classes.php on line 926

Warning: Illegal offset type in /home/.............../gallery/zen/classes.php on line 939`

Any ideas?

i got it to work, just had to update the search class and the searchAlbums function for 1.06

Can you please share the code with us?
Please.

Cheers!

Indeed, getAlbums has changed around in what it returns, I'm sure you figured it out.

Please, share the code! :-) I might integrate it.

any updated source available for the search function to implement with 1.07?

I've got also the array_flip() error...

Thanks
Pierre

hello
will you put a search function in this galery, later ? Soon ?
thanks

Scalpa, I already answered your question here. The search function will not be implemented until version 2.0 comes out.
