Thanks for your work. Do you think its easy possible to combine that with Full Album Pack. So that normal pics could be send as eCard? ----------------------------------- Lopalong Thu 21 Aug, 2008 01:12 Re: [MOD] ECards ----------------------------------- I think it would be better to migrate the other way and add eCards to FAP. But then it would have to re-size the images etc, because if it's just going to be an extension of FAP as it is, with a URL to a full-size image and appended message - Then the purpose of the eCards is already lost. :| If any eCard application was to be integrated with FAP, I would go for "Maian eCards". It's GPL and handles more than just pics - It would be a lot of work to add it. - I've had Maian working to a point with IP, but it's far too much for my knowledge of PHP and Icy-P ;) [b]Edit:[/b] Thinking about it some more. :mryellow: I now don't think it's a good idea to combine eCards with anything else because the cards need to be mainly for occasions and maybe some funny things in general. If anything, I would just like to see Maian bridged with IP because of its superior functions. It will be interesting to see what MG has to say about it. :mrgreen: ----------------------------------- TheSteffen Thu 21 Aug, 2008 03:23 Re: [MOD] ECards ----------------------------------- OK, thanks for yor answer. ----------------------------------- Mighty Gorgon Thu 21 Aug, 2008 12:57 Re: [MOD] ECards ----------------------------------- Before saying anything regarding eCards in IP I need to make some tests of this mod and the other proposed. In the past I wanted to create an eCards plugin for FAP, but there was low interest in that... so I have never coded it. What FAP misses is at least a link to send the picture link by email, just like the topics have. ----------------------------------- Lopalong Thu 21 Aug, 2008 14:59 Re: [MOD] ECards ----------------------------------- The low interest in eCards is probably a good enough reason not to include it in IP. Lord knows, Icy-P is getting heavy enough as it is. ;) That's why I suggested Maian as a stand alone app with a bridge file, because it does more than just images; and someone else can look after it in much the same way as Coppermine is "Nursed" by others. :mricy: [b]Off Topic:[/b] @MG. Speaking of MODS etc, would it not be advantageous to include a $lang_extend_mods file in the next release, so that the core lang files could be left untouched by MODS? Just a thought. :roll: ----------------------------------- TheSteffen Thu 21 Aug, 2008 17:22 Re: [MOD] ECards ----------------------------------- [quote user="Lopalong" post="30875"]The low interest in eCards is probably a good enough reason not to include it in IP.[/quote] I agree... But if it would not need so much time to code it, it would be a nice plugin. But only than :!: ----------------------------------- Mighty Gorgon Fri 29 Aug, 2008 22:08 Re: [MOD] ECards ----------------------------------- [quote user="Lopalong" post="30875"]@MG. Speaking of MODS etc, would it not be advantageous to include a $lang_extend_mods file in the next release, so that the core lang files could be left untouched by MODS? Just a thought. :roll:[/quote] There is no need to add that by default... Every lang_extend_*.php will be included in Icy Phoenix pages regardless to its name. Let me make an example to clear things... Suppose you are creating a mod to say HELLO MG on forum index... If you don't want to edit any existing lang file, then you can just create a new file called [b]lang_extend_*.php[/b] (use what you like instead of *) and add all the vars you need. The name isn't important because all files which begins with lang_extend will be imported by Icy Phoenix and vars used in it will be accessible in templates by adding L_ in front of the var. So back to the example... once you have created the file you can add a var like this: [codeblock]$lang['HI_MG'] = 'Hello MG';[/codeblock] If you add the file in the language/lang_english folder then you will be able to use the var wherever you like. For example in index_body.tpl you can add this: [codeblock]{L_HI_MG}[/codeblock] and you will see the text showing up, regardless if you call the file lang_extend_lopalong, lang_extend_mods or lang_extend_hi_mg (with php extension of course). Is that clear enough? Is there someone that is willing to create a new topic to be added in Docs section with these instructions? :wink: ----------------------------------- Lopalong Tue 13 Jan, 2009 02:47 Re: [MOD] ECards ----------------------------------- First Post updated with the download file. :mrviolet: @ MG, No what I really meant was to create an empty lang_extend.php file and include as a default file in the next release; so that all mods could add their lang vars to the one file rather than have different lang_extend_this mod, * that_mod etc. I don't suppose it really matters either way. ;) ----------------------------------- Mighty Gorgon Sat 17 Jan, 2009 12:51 Re: [MOD] ECards ----------------------------------- Since every lang_extend_*.php file is included by default, I guess there is no need to create a new one for mods... each user is free to customize it any way he likes... avoid wrong replacements and duplications with some mods. :)
