vbGallery Addon: Photo of the Day

This script will randomly select a photo from vbGallery and create a new thread in a specific forum with the photo and it's description. The script is run as a scheduled task in Vbulletin's Scheduled Tasks Manager.

Before uploading the script, you need to set which categories you want the photos to be selected from, the minimum width of the photo and the minimum amount of views that the photo has received.

Installation is easy, simply upload this script to the forums/includes/cron/ directory and create a new scheduled task. (See screen shot for suggested scheduled task parameters)

Tested on Vbulletin 3.6.4 and vbGallery 2.2
Confirmed to work on Vbulletin 3.6.8 and vbGallery 2.3
Confirmed to work on Vbulletin 3.7.0 and vbGallery 2.4.3
Confirmed to work on Vbulletin 3.8.2 and vbGallery 2.4.3
Confirmed to work on Vbulletin 3.8.3 and vbGallery 2.5

Please click install if you use this script.

This hack has been ported to PhotoPlog by TCooper.

doh!

got this when trying on 3.6.8 and vbGallery 2.2

Code:

Warning[/b]: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /includes/cron/potd.php on line 70

any ideass?

scratch that! I was being a n00b and didn't update the php file. :/

that said, I got a ton of categories... and its a pain to list em all. Can you add an "all categories" default or something? like 0 = all categories. or however that works. and make it so you EXCLUDE certain ones?

doh!! weird.. worked once...
now all I get is this error:

"Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '?' in /home/***mydb*******/public_html/forums/includes/cron/potd.php on line 132"

nvm AGAIN!! rofl found the problem ftp cut off a ">" at the end for some reason. (lol isn't this the best kinda of tech support ever?! lol)

I'll try to add that option this weekend. In the mean time, you can replace this SQL

PHP Code:


		
			
// select the random image from the photo gallery
$result= $vbulletin->db->query_read("SELECT imageid, userid, username, filename, title, description
       FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "ppgal_images 
       WHERE catid IN ($includecatids)
       AND width  > $width
       AND views > $views      
       ORDER BY RAND(NOW()) 
       LIMIT 1");

with this

PHP Code:


		
			
// select the random image from the photo gallery
$result= $vbulletin->db->query_read("SELECT imageid, userid, username, filename, title, description
       FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "ppgal_images 
       WHERE  width  > $width
       AND views > $views      
       ORDER BY RAND(NOW()) 
       LIMIT 1");

The only problem is that it will select from private categories as well. Once I update the hack, ill have it exclude the private categories.

It creates a topic every minute after midnight, lol.
Not sure what causes it but i've set it to execute at 00.01 now.
Will check what it does with that setting :)

Sorry about posting a screen shot of the cron with an incorrect setting. I updated the screen shot in this thread and in the zip file.

0ptoma, would you ever consider doing this same exact thing from vbclassifieds, and zoints profiles? I really like this feature. :)

I dont use either of the software, but if time permits, I will look into it.

Not a problem mate, was kinda funny seeing a new thread every minute :D

TRR	10-24-2007 06:15 PM

Is the current zip file corrupted, or did I just get a bad d/l? I'll try again...

Due to the way private categories work, im going to leave the hack as is.

ahh ok, bummer. but no worries. at least it works :) any chance for the vbadvanced module though?

also, different suggestion (got this from a member andI think its a good one).... is there a way to make it post to a same thread?

ie. new photo of the day posts once a day to designated thread (ie: photo of the day thread). kinda makes it cleaner ... individual threads gets a little much after a while.

Good idea, that should be doable!

The way I have my photo of the day setup is that I created a forum just for it.

I really dont know what it could be, but try this

Move this (line 61)

$arrChars = array();

to line 64

so you have this

$arrChars = array();
for ($i = 0; $i < strlen($userid); $i++)
{
$arrChars[] = $userid[$i];
}

This script works fine with VB 3.8.2. I created a new thread for this hack here. There is no need to upgrade, as I have not made any changes.
