Using CPG Blocks on different database...Update...

I installed Coppermine via Fantastico onto my server and it is in a different directory and different database than my Nuke site. I'd like to add some blocks for CPG onto my Nuke site. Any way to go about this? Here is an example block code for showing the latest pics added:

Code:

if (eregi("block-CPG-Last_pictures_thumb.php", $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'])) {
Header("Location: index.php");
die();
}
define('NO_HEADER', true);
global $prefix, $db, $CONFIG, $Version_Num, $cpg_dir;
//global $ALBUM_SET;

$cpg_dir = "coppermine";

$cpg_block = true;
require("modules/" . $cpg_dir . "/include/load.inc.php");
$cpg_block = false;
$length = $CONFIG['thumbcols']; //number of thumbs
// $length=4; //number of thumbs
$title_length = 15; // maximum length of title under pictures, 20 is default

$content = '';
$content = '';

$result = $db->sql_query("SELECT pid, filepath, filename, p.aid, p.title FROM ".$cpg_prefix."pictures AS p INNER JOIN ".$cpg_prefix."albums AS a ON (p.aid = a.aid AND ".VIS_GROUPS.") WHERE approved='YES' GROUP BY pid ORDER BY pid DESC LIMIT $length");
while ($row = $db->sql_fetchrow($result)) {
if ($CONFIG['seo_alts'] == 0) {
$thumb_title = $row['filename'];
} else {
if ($row['title'] != '') {
$thumb_title = $row['title'];
} else {
$thumb_title = substr($row['filename'], 0, -4);
}
}
stripslashes($thumb_title);
$content .= '<a href="' . $CPG_M_URL . '&file=displayimage&pos=-' . $row["pid"] . '"><img src="' . $row["filepath"] . $CONFIG["thumb_pfx"] . $row["filename"] . '" border="0" alt="' . $thumb_title . '" title="' . $thumb_title . '"> ' . truncate_stringblocks($thumb_title, $title_length) . '</a> ';
}
$content .= ' <a href="' . $CPG_M_URL . '">' . $lang_pagetitle_php["photogallery"] . '</a>';

?>

Try changing where the load script is included

Code:

$cpg_dir = "coppermine";

$cpg_block = true;
require("modules/" . $cpg_dir . "/include/load.inc.php");

I don't know if it will work or not

No, didn't seem to work. I changed the directory to the URL where it is at and just gave me a semi-blank screen after uploading the block. Sad

Ok, so I found a nifty little add-on for Coppermine called cpmfetch. You upload it to your website and it handles spitting out php and html to show pics from Coppermine on any webpage you want. Now the only issue is getting the php to work in a block! Here is the PHP that cpmfetch gives to show a random image:

Code:

<?php
include "./cpmfetch/cpmfetch.php";
$objCpm = new cpm("/gallery");
$objCpm->cpm_viewRandomMedia(3,3);
$objCpm->cpm_close();
?>

and here is that PHP I tried when it is churned through Block Creator:

Code:

<?php
#### Generated by Block Creator by Disipal Site (www.disipal.net) ###
if (eregi("block-Block_Creator.php",$PHP_SELF)) {
Header("Location: index.php");
die();
}
$content = "<?php ";
$content .= "include \"./cpmfetch/cpmfetch.php\";";
$content .= "objCpm = new cpm(\"/gallery\");";
$content .= "objCpm->cpm_viewRandomMedia(3,3);";
$content .= "objCpm->cpm_close();";
$content .= "> ";
?>

It doesn't work.. Sad

It just shows the text of the code in the block. (Which is better than a blank screen)
