Nope.... this has been talked about but nobody has had the time to do.
I'm using a random picture, but it only loads from the account u set it to.

There is a Photo Gallery add on for Burthold's Photo Album that shows the last 12 shots in the gallerys main page.

okay, i've now developed my own page to show the last 20 albums that have pics added (not using the code above though, that was beyond me), it's very rough and ready but it works. now i need to get it to show on default.asp in the space marked by the red cross


i think i need to do this with an include in inc_photo_album.asp, text file http://www.parrotlinks.com/incphotoalbum.txt but I can't seem to get the placement of the include right, it either appears in 2 different places and on a black background or throws up erroneous errors. if i go straight to the page in my browser it's fine, it's just the placement of the include that's eluding me. any help greatly appreciated<

I'll be intrested in the code your using.
Have you tried it in a table?
Code:

<%
'#################################################################################
'# Copyright (C) 2000-02 Wesley D. Brown
'# Photo Album v.05 for Snitz 3.3.05
'# This is include for default.asp it builds the small table needed for navigation
'#################################################################################

	Response.Write	"      <tr>" & vbNewline & _
			"        <td bgcolor=""" & strCategoryCellColor & """ colspan=""" & sGetColspan(7,6) &_
			"""><font face=""" & strDefaultFontFace & """ size=""" & strDefaultFontSize & """ color=""" & strCategoryFontColor & """ size=""+1""><b>Photo Album</b></font></td>" & vbNewline & _
					"      </tr>" & vbNewline & _
					"      <tr>" & vbNewline & _
					"        <td rowspan=""" & vbNewline & _
					"							1"& vbNewline & _

					"        <td bgcolor=""" & strForumCellColor & """ colspan=""6"">" & vbNewline & _
					"		<TABLE border=0 width=""100%""><TR>" & vbNewline & _
					"		<TD width=""50%""><font align=left face=""" & strDefaultFontFace & """ size=""" & strDefaultFontSize & """><a href=""photo_album.asp"">"&strForumTitle&" Photo Album</a></font>" & vbNewline & _</TD>" & vbNewline & _
					"		<TD>link code here</TD>"  & vbNewline & _
					"	</TR></TABLE>& vbNewline & _			
					"   
					"        </td>" & vbNewline & _
					"	  </tr>" & vbNewline
%>


Hope that helps.<

Then place the code calling the data there

If you looking at formatting the images into their own table then that will have to be done in your codeing. But you may want to place the images under the text not next to it. To do that try.
replacing
Code:
					"		<TD>link code here</TD>"  & vbNewline & _
					"	</TR></TABLE>& vbNewline & _

With
Code:

					"		<TABLE border=0 width=""100%""><TR>" & vbNewline & _
					"		<TD><font align=left face=""" & strDefaultFontFace & """ size=""" & strDefaultFontSize & """><a href=""photo_album.asp"">"&strForumTitle&" Photo Album</a></font>" & vbNewline & _</TD>" & vbNewline & _
					"	</TR> & vbNewline & _
					"       <TR> & vbNewline & _
					"       Code Here & vbNewline & _
					"       </TR> & vbNewline & _
					"       </TABLE> & vbNewline & _

I cant think of what else to do then, i guess u could call a iframe but an include sould do the work as there's no external data.
Let me know how it goes, as it would be good to get working, I'll have a look at the other code when i get time but I get very little of that ATM.

woo woo

now got it showing thumbnails of the last 20 pics, unfortunately one doesn't display but this is because the phto album mod doesn't make a thumbnail of animated gifs and this pic is an animated gif smile Also because of the sql i had to use the pics are not in order of latest added but are in alphabetical order of the members name but it works. I would also like to explain that if one member adds 20 pics then this does not display just that members pics, it only displays one and then goes to the next latest pic by a different member, so users can see the last 20 members who uploaded a pic not just the last 20 pics if you see what i mean.
check it out http://www.parrotlinks.com/forum2/default.asp

Hi! I've installed the Add on. Can i have the code for seeing the picture in the "homepage" of the forum like yours? the .txt file you gave is unavailable. another question: where i'll put the code you'll give me?
thanks<

I would not mind getting the code that Davecl has as well.. Do you think that you may be able to share it at all?<

You dont have to change any files to the photo ablum, just upload the code (I just had to edit a couple of things) and edit default.asp, had it working in under 5 min's.
It needs some formatting code added but I'm away 2day.
If Davecl dose release this then it would be a massive bost to the photo album. <

Sorry but I have uploaded the files..but i still not see the Last images in Default.asp... what is the code to permit this option??<

If u got the code from Davecl and have the normal photo album installed (From snitzbitz.com)
on default.asp find

Code:

'photo album insert into main page
%>
<!--#include file="inc_photo_album.asp"-->
<%
'end insert

Then call "inc_photo_album_update.asp" after it.
Code:

%>
<!--#include file="inc_photo_album_update.asp"-->
<%

The Add on works perfectly. Is there a way to view the pic in Default.asp directly by clicking on it? At the moment i click on the thumb but after that I see the Photo_album_cat.asp
It would be great to see the real size image or the descricption present in the Photo Gallery instead of Photo Album home page: (photo_gallery.asp?action=displayimage&photo=50&loc= etc etc etc). Could you work on it? thanks
