Main Java TWO Columns - javaimgcols add-on

[ebmarques]

THIS ADD-ON WERE TESTED WITH OPEN-REALTY v.2.4.1


This add-on displays the thumbs in TWO vertical columns with the main image in the middle.

Decompress the file javaimgcols.zip inside your "addons" folder and it will
create a folder named "javaimgcols" with the necessary files inside.

Attached you have as example, a new listing detail template file:
listing_detail_javaimgcols.html
Install this file at your template folder and set it as your listing detail
template at Site Config.
Of course, you can edit it for your need.

The tag used with this add-on is: {addon_javaimgcols_link}

This add-on is using its own stylesheet: javaimgcols.css - so edit it according
your needs.

Look the source code of addon.inc.php file and find this function:

function javaimgcols_run_template_user_fields($tag = '') {
    switch ($tag) {
        case 'addon_javaimgcols_link':
            $max_thumbs = 3; // MAX THUMBS IN EACH COLUMN
            $show_captions = 'yes'; // yes OR no -- SHOW OR NOT THE THUMBS CAPTION
            $data = javaimgcols_display_addon_link($max_thumbs,$show_captions);
            break;
        default:
            $data = '';
            break;
        }
    return $data;
    }

Where you read:
$max_thumbs = 3; // MAX THUMBS IN EACH COLUMN
$show_captions = 'yes'; // yes OR no -- SHOW OR NOT THE THUMBS CAPTION
You can modify those values to your needs.

If you are going to use the attached listing detail template attached, besides
setting this template at Site Config, there is nothing more at admin area to
configure.

Finally, this add-on does not modify your DB so if you want to remove it, just
delete the respective folder created at your "addons" folder.

Have fun!

A user asked me how to set the add-on so each listing will have the "same" number of thumbnails in each column.
This means different settings for each listing.

So there is the need to edit the addon.inc.php file. Find these lines:

if ($num_images > 0) {
$display .= '<div id="addon_javaimgcols_thumbs_left">'; 

Between those lines insert one or another (it is up to you):

$max_thumbs = CEIL($num_images/2); // ROUND UP 

or

$max_thumbs = FLOOR($num_images/2); // ROUND DOWN 

This way, no matter what value you set for the variable "$max_thumbs" as initially indicated - now this value will be always the HALF (up or down) of the total of thumbs of each listing.


For the people that preffer this way, download the version 3 of the add-on with those lines modified.
You will just need to modify the way it will ROUND, commenting the proper line (I am setting by default to ROUND UP).

Thanks,
Eduardo.
