[Resolved] [Resolved] Help with a gallery project

[sapoxgn]

Hi there.. i started coding my website myself (istead of taking thirdy party programs)

My website is about games and it have a lot of screenshots to be posted every day, i m using dalbum for my screenshots but i need something more.

The dalbum generates the thumbnails like this:

file1.jpg -> original file
_thm/thm_file1.jpg -> thumbnail created by dalbum

i would like to know if there´s a simple way to make some php code to search the dir and make this code for me:

[ulr=file1.jpg][img]_thm/thm_file1.jpg[img][/url]

thanx for any help

Hi,

Yes its very possible check out the Filesystem part of the php manual, to learn how to scan / retrieve directories information.

I'm sure there is code out there that will show you how to do it.

But you need to determine the logic of what you are trying to do.

Something Like:
Scan files
For each file:
1) Determine if an image
2) create path / name for thumbnail - confirm it exists
3) create path / name for main image - confirm it exists
4) output url / image tag.

Repeat until done!

I was thinking here while eating.. and i think its easier than i tought..

I just have to get the list of files in the directory and put them in some array.. with the urls of the original files in an array i think it would be easy to make the code for the thumbnails

like..

"[url=" . $file . "][img]thumbs/" . $file .  "[img][url]"

or somthing like that 🙁

OK no worries!

Looks good - All you have to do is do a read of the main image directory and add to the image array!

There is no error checking there - but if theres never a missing thumbnail then no probs!

Thanx man!

take a look at the script working 😃

Now.. the code

<?php

<?php

function ls ($curpath,$subdir) {
   $dir = dir($curpath . "/" . $subdir);
   echo("<b>$curpath</b>");
   echo "<blockquote>";
   while ($file = $dir->read()) {

   if($file != "." && $file != "..") {
       if (is_dir($curpath.$file)) {
                           ls($curpath.$file."/");
         } else {
             echo("$file<br>");
			 $file_array[] = $file;
         }
   }
   }
   $dir->close();
   echo "</blockquote>";
   return $file_array;
}


$startpath = "/home/xgncom/public_html/";
$subdir = "photo/pictures/cs-s/";
$rows = array();
$rows = ls($startpath,$subdir);

$rows_count = count($rows);
$count = 0;
$ext =  substr($array, -3);

for ($i = 0; $i <= $rows_count; $i++) {
		if($count > 4) {
			echo '<br />';
			$count = 1;
		}
		else $count++;
	$ext =  substr($rows[$i], -3);
		if ($ext == "jpg" or $ext == "gif") {
			echo '<a href="' . $subdir . $rows[$i] . '"<img border="0" src="' . $subdir . '_thm/thm_' . $rows[$i] . '"></a>';
			}

}

?>

I still have to fix some things like just showing images files etc.

Man.. this thing looks stupid but it will save a lot of time 😃

I ll make a kind of gallery script with this thing...

Then i just have to upload all the files with the thumbs (batching it with fireworks is a piece of cake) then run it

😃
