Preview thumbnails when users uploading photos

[free2take]

Hi there,

I had a few users request this and got it working by shamelessly ripping off the administration\listinginfo.php file but it works ! although requires developer version.

Remember test on dev and backup your files on live before changing stuff !

In usercheckout.php add the following code for case 5 between just before the line //get the total number of images

PHP Code:

$prodID=$rs['oPackageID'];

//get the images info
$sSQL = sprintf("SELECT id,pid,title,image FROM ".PREFIX."prodimages WHERE pid = %s ORDER BY rank ASC",$listingid );
$result=$db->query($sSQL);
$image=array();
while ($rs=$result->fetch()) 
{
      $rs['title']=safeStripSlashes($rs['title']);
      $size = @getimagesize('../photos/'.$rs['image']);
      $rs['width']=$size[0];
      $rs['height'] = $size[1];
      $image[]=$rs;
}
                
//get the total number of images 


This catches the image info.

Add the following before the line $class_tpl->assign('body','checkout/step4.tpl.php'); in the same section

PHP Code:

          $class_tpl->assign('data', $image);
        $class_tpl->assign('body','checkout/step4.tpl.php'); 


This assigns the additional info to the 'checkout/step4.tpl.php' template.

You now need to modify you template to show the images, the file is 'checkout/step4.tpl.php'.
How you choose to display them is up to you now you have all the info in the template, I display them horizontally at the top and use lightbulb so in a cell my code looks like:

PHP Code:

<th colspan="2" valign="top" class="pformleft">        
{if $data<>""}
{html_table_adv loop=$data cols=$numimages table_attr='width="100%"' td_attr='align="center"' td_attr='valign="bottom"'}        
<a href="photos/[[image]]" rel="lightbox[image]" title="[[title]]"><img src="thumbs/small_[[image]]" hspace="5" vspace="5" class="image" border="0" /></a><br />[[title]]
{/html_table_adv}
{/if}
</th> 


You would have to remove the lighbulb references for your own if not being used. I also use the TH label instead of the TD as on my site it underlines for me.

Here's the result




You'll only ever see your max number of picture -1 in this screen as your automatically forwarded on when you hit your limit.

There you go hope its of use to someone else!

Nice job, hope to see this as standard in all new releases, I don't know why it wasn't

Nice job Mully and thanks for sharing it with the board.

can anyone tell me how to format the upload window to automaticall push photos to a new line or new row? I deal in large quantities of images, and after 6 or 8, the window keeps expanding off the right side of the page rather than new-lining and going to the next row. I have tried fooling with the table size, but can't get it to hold its width correctly.

Can someone give me a hand? Thanks -

by the way, this is an incredible addition to 68C !!!

I changed: cols=$numimages
To: cols=4

This starts a new line after 4 images.

[whoazone]

fantastic - thank you!!!

will this still bounce users ahead to the next step in listing an ad after they've used their allotted number of images?

[louad]

Yes, for me it does. It shows a preview for all except the last image, because it forwards you at that point.

[whoazone]

Wow.... this is just an incredible help to users listing large quantity of images. Great work. Thanks so much!!
