General Support: "New" image beside newly uploaded photos / galleries?

Anyone have any ideas for this one?

GAC

Hi gac,

Sorry, but I've been working on other things for a little bit. I think I can help you out, but I need to do some testing on my installation before I post a solve for you.

One question I had for you though. Did you want the "new" image to show up on galleries that have been newly created or only on those that have "new" images? I'll try to work on it soon and get back to you.

Hi gac,

I have a solution for you, but if you let me know which theme you are using, I can post the code for that particular theme. Let me know.

Alright, so I'll try to give line numbers and the first and last lines of code that I show should already be in the file (you will be adding the middle part).

First, open 'collections.php' and edit it as follows (about lines 17-19):
print '</a><br/>';

// do we have new pictures?
$time_new = strtotime("-1 day"); //change this to whatever time frame you would like i.e. -1 week or -3 days
$image_time = intval($time_new) - 60; // set a default non-new time in case there are no pictures
$sql = "SELECT `date_submitted` FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."pictures WHERE `parent_collection` = '".plogger_get_collection_id()."' ORDER BY date_submitted ASC";
$result = run_query($sql);
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
$image_time = strtotime($row['date_submitted']); // overwrites the $image_time variable with the date_submitted information from the database
}
if ($image_time > $time_new) {
print '<img src="new.gif" alt="new pictures" />'; // output your image here
}

print plogger_download_checkbox(plogger_get_collection_id());

Then do something similar for 'collection.php' (again around lines 17-19):
print '</a> <br />';

// do we have new pictures?
$time_new = strtotime("-1 day"); //change this to whatever time frame you would like i.e. -1 week or -3 days
$image_time = intval($time_new) - 60; // set a default time in case there are no pictures
$sql = "SELECT `date_submitted` FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."pictures WHERE `parent_album` = '".plogger_get_album_id()."' ORDER BY date_submitted ASC";
$result = run_query($sql);
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
$image_time = strtotime($row['date_submitted']); // overwrites the $image_time variable with the date_submitted information from the database
}
if ($image_time > $time_new) {
print '<img src="new.gif" alt="new pictures" />'; // output your image here
}

print plogger_download_checkbox(plogger_get_album_id());

Finally, 'album.php' is slightly different since we already have the images in an array and can grab them via the plogger built-in functions (look around lines 22-24):
print '<li class="thumbnail"><div class="tag"><a href="' . plogger_get_picture_url() . '">' . $imgtag . "</a><br />";

// do we have new pictures?
$time_new = strtotime("-1 day"); //change this to whatever time frame you would like i.e. -1 week or -3 days
$image_time = strtotime(plogger_get_picture_date('Y-m-d H:i:s', true)); // set a default time in case there are no pictures
if ($image_time > $time_new) {
print '<img src="new.gif" alt="new pictures" />'; // output your image here
}

print plogger_download_checkbox(plogger_get_picture_id());

That should do it for you! If you want your image to be in a different spot, just add the last bit where you want it to go or save it in a variable by doing this:
$new = '<img src="new.gif" alt="new pictures" />'; // output your image here
instead of the code above:
print '<img src="new.gif" alt="new pictures" />'; // output your image here
Then later just do a <?php print $new ?> wherever you would like the image to show up.

Let us know if you run into any problems!

and closing tags. This looks to only be in your 'album.php' file and should be the next line after the code above:
print plogger_download_checkbox(plogger_get_picture_id());

print '</div></li>';

excellent gac!
