coppermine in phpwcms

Hi!

Has anyone done a hack or whatsoever, to include coppermine gallery in their phpwcms. It's the only thing i'm missing from it, the "gallery" functionality of phpwcms is not that great yet.

Anyway, keep up good work!

No, it is not implimented yet. I'm guessing that it probably won't be either any time soon. But there a number of people who use Coppermine with phpWCMS with pretty good success using iframe. The only huge functionality you loose is having two user databases that aren't syncronized with same user/pass information.

But how does it work with iframes?
They have a constant size and the coppermine content changes all the time! I dont think that is a good solution if you dont want to scroll in the iframe.

iframe actually works quite well! And no, you do not have to scroll. It is very easy to use a little Javascript to dynamically resize the iframe. It doesn't seem to noticeably slow anything down either. Check out this link for the code to do it. It's as simple as copy and paste and just replacing the URL with URL for Coppermine's root folder. Here's a link for the code and directions... ask if you have questions or need an example:

http://www.phpwcms.de/forum/viewtopic.p ... calcheight

Header information:

Code: Select all

<script language="JavaScript"> 
<!-- 
function calcHeight() 
{ 
   var the_height=document.getElementById('the_iframe').contentWindow.document.body.scrollHeight; //find the height of the internal page 
   document.getElementById('the_iframe').style.height=the_height; //change the height of the iframe 
} 
//--> 
</script>

Part to add as html content part with link to Coppermine replacing the one in this code:

Code: Select all

<iframe src="http://www.mohrundmehr.de/termine/termine.php" id="the_iframe" onLoad="calcHeight();" width="600px" height="1" name="the_iframe" scrolling="no" frameborder="0">Wenn Sie diesen Text lesen unterstützt Ihr Browser keine iframes bitte folgen Sie dem Link.<a href="http://www.mohrundmehr.de/termine/termine.php" target="_blank">Terminkalender</A></iframe>

Thanks, I'm playing arround with that for quite long.
my problem right now is, that the size of the iframe fits,
but just the cpg/index.php. when you klick at a thumb the
content of the iframe shrinks but the iframe doesn't!

BTW: I saw annother tread linking to this:

I solved the problem!
The coppermine template had an tag <table height=100%...
Thats why the page didn't shrink! Just delete that height=100% and it works fine!
