Topic: [SOLVED with Custom Code] Using Gallery instead of Icon and Logo

[aboututila]

To see the structure of $entry,
Try putting the code

Code: [Select]

$my_module->Debug('$entry',$entry,__FILE__,__CLASS__,__LINE__);in the foreach ($entries as $entry) loop.

You should get something like;

Code: [Select]

Debug Output
File = W:\www\test1\Joomla-v1.5.x\modules\mod_sobi2simplefeatured\tmpl\default.php
Line = 36
Class =
Variable = $entry

Array
(
    [itemId] => 1
    [title] => Test’1
    [icon] => 1_ico.jpg
    [image] => 1_img.jpg
    [hits] => 109
    [fieldId1] => Street 4
    [fieldLabel1] => Street
    [fieldId2] => Postcode 1
    [fieldLabel2] => Postcode
    [fieldId3] => City 6
    [fieldLabel3] => City
    [fieldId6] => Country 1
    [fieldLabel6] => Country
    [href] => http://test1.com/index.php?option=com_sobi2&sobi2Task=sobi2Details&sobi2Id=1&Itemid=73
)
Where for;
[fieldIdx] and [fieldLabelx]
x = the ID Number of the SOBI2 Custom Field
Refer Joomla Administrator->Components->SOBI2->Configuration->Custom Fields Manager
Note: [itemId] value is NOT Joomla Itemid, it is really sobi2id value.

So to echo a specific Custom Field, you need to know it's ID number as assigned by the Custom Fields Manager.
Let us assume you want to echo the field with ID=1
then you would use the code

Code: [Select]

echo $entry['fieldId1'];
I hope this helps - Mark

Hi, thanks for the reply, the code didn't show though.

Hi, thanks for the reply, the code didn't show though.

There seems to be a bug with this forum where it does not properly parse the BB code tags, especially if there are more than 1 set of code tags in the posting.
I have reported it, but it has not been fixed yet. Try hitting the refresh button on your browser 3 or 4 times until the code is displayed.

I have also posted it below without the BB code tags.

Is anybody able to code an additional else step in the if-loop to show a default icon, if no gallery-pic has been uploaded to the entry?
I tried to do this using parts of the original code, but my php is not good enough.  :-\

My problem is the php phrase for "if no gallery-pic has been uploaded to the entry".

Hi

I create 2 copies mod_sobi2simplefeatured in my site.
I would like to display gallery thumb only in one module (simple featured) and second module display without gallery thumb.
How can I recognize in code in default.php file which is a module?

I suppose that I have to use in default.php conditional IF but where and how ?

help me please

[aboututila]

I do not support this customization of mod_sobi2simplefeatured
But I would suggest trying to make a copy of default.php, implement the 'gallery thumb' modification and then naming the modified file to something like 'gallery.php'
Then when you configure each instance of the module you would select;
Module Parameters->Advanced Parameters->Template=default.php (for the standard module code)
and
Module Parameters->Advanced Parameters->Template=gallery.php (for the module with the customized code)

Regards - Mark

Hi fellows!

I found the new solution to the latest gallery plugin (2.56). Based on hifut and Aboututila posts.

This is the basic code you have to insert to your default php(/modules/mod_sobi2simplefeatured/tmpl/):

Search this:

Code: [Select]

# output HTML for Icon, if required
$my_module->echoHTML_Icon($entry);

# output HTML for Image, if required
$my_module->echoHTML_Image($entry);
and replace to:

Code: [Select]

$thumb_jpg="images/com_sobi2/gallery/".$entry['itemId']."/".$entry['itemId']."_thumb_1.jpg";
      $thumb_gif="images/com_sobi2/gallery/".$entry['itemId']."/".$entry['itemId']."_thumb_1.gif";
      if (file_exists("$thumb_jpg")) {
        echo "<a href='".$entry['href']."'>";
        echo "<img src=\"$thumb_jpg\" border=1 >";
        echo "</a>";
      } else {
        if (file_exists("$thumb_gif")) {
          echo "<a href='".$entry['href']."'>";
          echo "<img src=\"$thumb_gif\" border=1 >";
          echo "</a>";
        }
      }
Next one is gallery.class.php (/components/com_sobi2/plugins/gallery):
Search this code (Around 770):

Code: [Select]

$tempArray = array ('a','b','c','d','e','f','g','h','i','j','k','l','m','n','o','p','r','s','t','u','t');
$tempStr = $tempArray[rand(0,20)].$tempArray[rand(0,20)].$tempArray[rand(0,20)];
$imageName = "{$folderId}_image_{$filePos}_{$tempStr}.{$fileExt}";
$thumbName = "{$folderId}_thumb_{$filePos}_{$tempStr}.{$fileExt}";         
replace to:

Code: [Select]

$imageName = "{$folderId}_image_{$filePos}.{$fileExt}";
$thumbName = "{$folderId}_thumb_{$filePos}.{$fileExt}";

enjoy
