I'm also experiencing the same problem, as I'm sure others are. Looking forward to the solution.

Thanks Rod - right next to the snake-bite kit.

I know I've seen it here somewhere, but can't seem to locate it now........

How and where can I check within Lightroom to determine the version number of a plugin? Or do I need to look elsewhere?

Thanks

Thanks Rod - you're always there when we need you!

gengl · CE4 Auto Index

I'm wanting to use autoindex in a non-ttg website for purposes other than photo galleries. Do I need ttg-be installed, or will the autoindex folder that I export from lightroom be capable of "stand-alone" operation?

gengl · CE4 Pages

I have a site published with Pages CE4, but I'd like to change the mantle and core width on all pages - I left it set to "auto" when I published, but a fixed width would work better for my situation

Is there a simple way to make the changes to mantle and core width without re-publishing the entire site, or do I need to bite the bullet and just go ahead and make a new installation?

Thanks

Just wanted to let Matt, Ben, Rod and everyone else associated with your product development and support know that I appreciate all of the help and assistance available through this forum. You respond quickly and waste no time locating and fixing any bugs that might show up after a version release. There are very few companies that have the level of commitment to customer service that you do -

AND WE APPRECIATE IT !!!

Most of us are not programmers or computer wizards - we know cameras - not computers.

Thank you all for being here and for being ready to help when we stumble.

gengl · PHPlugins (CE4)

Thanks Rod - just what I needed to know. You guys are great!

gengl · PHPlugins (CE4)

Is it possible to change the appearance of the page navigation items in a gallery via phplugins?

For instance, if a gallery takes up 3 pages, can I alter the appearance of the navigation bars that appear at the top and bottom of the gallery that have the numbers 1 2 3 and Next/Previous? Either via phplugins or custom CSS?

And if so, what items should I target?

Do these navigation bars originate in a lib file or from ttg-be?

gengl · PHPlugins (CE4)

Playing with a test gallery to try to get things working - using Notepad++

No - doesn't appear that variables were declared - my attempt at placing into the head_end function has all of my php code appearing as comments (at least judging by the color code - green). The php is therefore not running, just being printed into the head and ignored.

Back to the drawing board again........

Thanks for the help. I'll be back later I'm sure.

gengl · PHPlugins (CE4)

When writing a php script into phplugins, comparison operators are giving me fits. I have tried escaping them to no avail. As an example, if I write something such as -

<?php if ($pageNum_Names_Pics > 0) { ?>

comparing to see if $pageNum_Names_Pics is greater than zero

the "greater than" comparison closes the "<?php" bracket before getting to the "{ ?>" portion of the evaluation. Escaping the "greater than" comparison as "\>" does not work either.

Need some help on making comparisons with php within phplugins..........

gengl · CE4 Publisher

Rod, it does appear that updates are being made. I added a photo and later deleted that photo as a test, and it went as expected. Only problem appears to be that error dialog each time.

gengl · CE4 Publisher

Rod I'm getting the same error also, and I DO NOT have CRG. My setup is a basic site from Pages with additions from Stage. Not using Cart on this site although I do have that installed.

gengl · CE4 Gallery

Is there any way to apply formatting such as carriage returns and such for an image caption?

gengl · PHPlugins (CE4)

Need some help on this -

I understand that you can target SPECIFIC pages created by CE4 PAGES with something like this -

if (G_STYLE == 'CE4-PAGES-HOME') {

Is there a similar way to target SPECIFIC pages created with CE4 STAGE?

gengl · CE4 Auto Index

I think you're probably right Rod - the error is being reported from my MySQL database system - it's registering that autoindex is sending a query that doesn't match up with data in my system.

I don't see any new or altered database entries or tables on my server. Does Publisher use MySQL or a different system? Whatever system it is, data must be stored in encrypted files/folders within ttg-be (guess).

gengl · PHPlugins (CE4)

Okay, thanks Rod.

I'll revisit this thing after a bit. I guess the delimiting issue with using phplugins is just really giving me fits. I definitely want to get it figured out - for exactly the reasons you mention. Think I'll start back with moving the stylesheets via plugins and just take it a step at a time.

gengl · PHPlugins (CE4)

Okay - could not get anything to work using phplugins, but since this will not be a normal gallery and is hidden from autoindex, I tried modifying the index folder directly. I published a CE4 Stage gallery as a stand-alone named "MISSING".
To connect with the database, I placed my code directly after this part of index.php - http://65kahoks.com/MISSING/

if (function_exists('ttg_user_load')) {
$void = ttg_user_load( TTG_COMP, TTG_ROOT );
}

?>

<?php
ob_start();
require_once ('../../includes/config.inc.php');
require_once (MYSQL1);

$q = "SELECT DISTINCT classmates.lastName, classmates.firstName, classmates.middleName, classmates.marriedName, classmates.missing, classmates.deceased, class_pic_small.pic_loc AS small_pic, class_pic_large.pic_loc, activities.activity FROM ((classmates INNER JOIN class_pic_small ON classmates.id = class_pic_small.classmates_id) INNER JOIN class_pic_large ON classmates.id = class_pic_large.classmates_id) INNER JOIN activities ON classmates.id = activities.classmates_id WHERE classmates.missing=1 ORDER BY classmates.lastName, classmates.firstName, classmates.middleName";
$r = mysqli_query ($dbc, $q) or trigger_error("Query: $q\n<br />MySQL Error: " . mysqli_error($dbc));
$row_rs_Missing = mysqli_fetch_assoc($r);
$totalRows_rs_Missing = mysqli_num_rows($r);

?>

That makes a good connection to my database, which is still located above the public_html folder on my server, and is thus outside of hacker's reach for security purposes.

I also added a couple of links to CSS stylesheets immediately before the <!DOCTYPE html> declaration. I had to rework the CSS to more closely resemble the ttg format.

To display the data I added the following code in the <div id="primary-content" class="grid_12 collapse clearfix"> area -

<p style="text-align: center;">We do not have current contact information on these classmates. If you know where or how we can contact them, please <a href="mailto:glen_england@65kahoks.com">email</a> us.</p>

<?php do { ?>
<div class="figure">
<div class="photo">
<a href="<?php echo $row_rs_Missing['pic_loc']; ?>" rel="lightbox[missing]" title="<?php echo $row_rs_Missing['firstName']; ?> <?php echo $row_rs_Missing['middleName']; ?> <?php echo $row_rs_Missing['lastName']; ?> <?php echo $row_rs_Missing['marriedName']; ?>"><img src="<?php echo $row_rs_Missing['small_pic']; ?>" width="105" height="145" /></a>
</div>

<p><?php echo $row_rs_Missing['firstName']; ?> <?php echo $row_rs_Missing['middleName']; ?> <?php echo $row_rs_Missing['lastName']; ?> <?php echo $row_rs_Missing['marriedName']; ?></p>
</div>

<?php } while ($row_rs_Missing = mysqli_fetch_assoc($r)); ?>

This successfully prints the images and title tags. Not sure yet how well it will translate to a tablet or phone...........

gengl · CE4 Auto Index

Sorry - forgot to. http://65kahoks.com/galleries/

Evidently, when I open a connection to my database, the server is detecting that autoindex.php is attempting to send a query also? Just guessing here, but the error message is originating from my database connect script and referring to the autoindex script as the location of the error.

I can't see where it''s causing an actual issue - but I don't know the inner workings of the autoindex.

The site is still in development, so the home page currently is 65kahoks.com/index1.php

Thanks Rod.

When I access the galleries I receive emails concerning an error in autoindex.php at line 129. Here is one of the error messages, the others are essentially identical.

Yes, the includes folder is above my visible web domain to secure the connection details. (in a level above public_html)

The code for writing to the page is below - but I'm getting no connection to the database evidently, and receiving some weird results on screen. Using the ttg_canvas_top hook was the only way I could get anything to appear on screen.

function ttg_canvas_top( $style, $path ) {
if (G_PATH == 'MISSING') {
echo '

This works in an older website that is at http://65kahoks.com/missing.php - and I've tried to escape all the problem areas when applying it to phplugins - but not getting very far. This is the code to connect to the database and retrieve the data for the page - -

$theValue = get_magic_quotes_gpc() ? stripslashes($theValue) : $theValue;

$theValue = function_exists("mysql_real_escape_string") ? mysql_real_escape_string($theValue) : mysql_escape_string($theValue);

Additional note - I'm attempting this with a TTG Stage page that is , except for header, navigation, and footer, a blank page with the block active and the grid disabled.

gengl · PHPlugins (CE4)

Is there a way to use phplugins to connect to an existing online database and dynamically populate a gallery with images from the database? I've been struggling with using the ttg_user_load hook to connect the database, and then the ttg_grid_top hook to populate the gallery, but am having no luck with it.
