LifestreamOk. First of all I must admit that PhpBB Fetch All was waaay more complicated to include than I had anticipated. Seems there is a conflict with Nucleus and PhpBB2 since both use a template class. Sigh. Anyway …
Here is what I have solved:
PHP Mp3 Database // Did the “location hack” and fixed the artist listing. Nice. That was the easy part …
ForumBOX // Did an ugly script thingy that bypasses PhpBB and connects to the database on its own. A little lame but also hundreds of lines of codes saved. It took me quite some time to figure out how to convert unix time to human readable format. There are still some major quirks with the code but who cares as long as it works as intended.
Further scripting troubles:
The GalleryBOX // Must be controlled somehow. Currently it fetches thumbnails created by Coppermine in the format of ??? by 100 pixels. The problem is obviously that large / wide thumbs break the page layout. I thought about allowing the other “boxes” to resize dynamically but unfortunately Sympoll doesn’t allow for that without rewriting the code.
Stupid me of course. I should have configured Coppermine to set “Max dimension of a thumbnail” to 100 px WIDTH instead of HEIGHT. Duh!! But I was so thankful having gotten the entire thing up and running that I missed the big picture so to speak. In retrospect I realize that thumbs set to a standard width probably look better when displayed in the gallery also.
Fortunately, the current gallery is just an experiment and only holds like 30 images or so. No big deal if I have to delete the files and start over.
PHP Mp3 Database // Still have to write a small function that can sort albums xor artists by _locations_. Also, I should make a new input script that can append the database and save some serious megaflops. First priority is probably to index the collection locally so that I have something at all to upload
