Notes |
Introduction
This mod was developed to enable an image border and display of media description for a random image. A mouse-over on the image will display a 'tooltip' in a pop-up with the text you have entered in the 'Description' field of the 'Media Information' section of Admin/Media edit.
Developer
Graham Chamberlain developed this mod.
Requirements
- A working TNG installation.
- An installed current version of the Mod Manager
- A backup of your TNG randomphoto.php file.
Automated Installation
- Download the appropriate file for your TNG version from the download links in the mod summary area in the upper right.
- Extract the random_photo_display_v9.0.0.0.zip to your /mod folder.
- Follow the normal automated installation for Mod Manager, as shown in the example Mod Manager - Installing Config Files to install the random_photo_display_v9.0.0.0.cfg.
Custom Text Additions
Image Source:
Add the following to your customconfig.php: '$rp_mediatypeID = "photos";' (without the single outer quotes);
this is the default setting which you should change
to the appropriate (Collection ID) value for your alternative choice of images.
- Note: The Collection ID can be found if you select/edit the relevant collection in Admin/Media.
Image Size:
You may like to display your random image a bit larger than the default. Add your preferred maximum image size to customconfig.php (in the root TNG folder) as in the following example:
$rp_maxwidth = "250"; $rp_maxheight = "200";
Image Border:
The mod contains reference to the style 'bordrandimage' for controlling the colour and shape of a border for the random image. On the author's (template8) website this is defined as:
/* border colour for randomimage */ .bordrandimg{ border: 1px solid #211A16; border-radius: 4px; }
- Note: If you want an image border you will need to add this style to your mytngstyle.css file, and edit the border and/or border-style appropriately.
In the event of a problem with your TNG site
- Try using the Mod Manager Remove capability
- Or copy your randomphoto.php file to your TNG directory
- * all should be well now
