Sometimes I feel like I'm invisible here - what do I have to do to get some help, or at least a response? Please, please could someone who has made this feature work, even in the wrong date order give me a hint as to what may be going wrong. It's a particularly valuable facility to me since I'm adding stuff from archives across a growing number of galleries until I get caught up and there's no incentive for anyone to re-visit if they feel they have to trawl through stuff they've seen before just to see what's new. It really ought to be added as a simple switch option on the Control Panel.

I get this error in Firbug. Might look at your code again.

missing ) after argument list
smugLoad(); addRecentFeatured('Recently Added Photographs',30,http://wyndhamhol...

I see this in your html,

<body class="homepage bodyColor_Black" onload=" smugLoad(); addRecentFeatured('Recently Added Photographs',30,http://wyndhamhollis.smugmug.com/pho...0485928-Th.jpg);">

Probably should be like this.
<body class="homepage bodyColor_Black" onload=" smugLoad(); addRecentFeatured('Recently Added Photographs',30,'/photos/220485928-Th.jpg');">

Example from first post.

Code:

<body onload="addRecentFeatured('Recent Work', 60, '/photos/52382214-Ti-4.jpg');">

Thanks for your reply. Could you clarify a few points for me please:

1) Missing ) after argument list. I assume the argument list is the code I cut from the original post and pasted into the Javascript box. Counting the () I get 48 of each so can't see that they're out of balance. If it was the code in the body tag section then it only had one set and they were both in place.

2) Where does the "smugload()" come from? You've said it appears in my html code but it didn't and I don't see it in the OP either.

3) Having failed to find the ) in the first point above I tried pasting your suggested code into the Body Tag including the change to the picture path but can see no change to my homepage.

Sorry to be such a pain, but my programming started and ended with BASIC and so I don't know what to look for in Java. By the mostly positive responses to the original post I assumed that this worked without too much hassle...

It's somewhere in your control panel customize section. I'm as raw on this
stuff as you

and only reporting error and possible hint for fix.

I think it's jumping out before it gets to the last ) so not seeing it. Maybe because of the
missing '.

Thank You, Thank You, Thank You! It works at last and I'll worry about the way it displays etc. another time.

PS Thanks again! I hope this really useful feature has made it's way onto the wish list.

Bump.

It would be nice to have a customization page for this gallery as well.

Raina.Rae · Apr-16-2008, 02:44 PM #47

I'm new to smugmug, and this feature would be great, so people can find the new stuff quick. However I'm having trouble getting this to work, because I'm not sure how it is supposed to show up. Are the new gallaries supposed to show in the featured box, or in a seperate gallary titled recent gallaries. Could you be a little more discriptive as to how this is supposed to show up. Because everytime I try it doesn't appear anything has changed so I tkae the code out. I'm looking for a gallary to show up the says recent gallary am I wrong in looking for that.

Here's the code to do it..

Javascript code...

Code:

function addRecentFeatured(text, days, thumbUrl) {
  if (YD.hasClass(document.body, "homepage")) {
    divTags = YD.getElementsByClassName("boxBottom", "div", YD.get("featuredBox"));
 
    for (i=0; i<divTags.length; i++) {
      miniBox = document.createElement("div");
      miniBox.className = "miniBox";
 
      photoBox = document.createElement("div");
      photoBox.className = "photo";
      miniBox.appendChild(photoBox);
 
      photoLink = document.createElement("a");
      photoLink.setAttribute("href", "javascript:showRecent(" + days + ");");
      photoBox.appendChild(photoLink);
 
      photoImg = document.createElement("img");
      photoImg.setAttribute("border", "0");
      photoImg.setAttribute("alt", text);
      photoImg.setAttribute("title", text);
      photoImg.src = thumbUrl;
      photoImg.className = "imgBorder";
      photoLink.appendChild(photoImg);
 
      albumTitle = document.createElement("p");
      albumTitle.className = "albumTitle";
      miniBox.appendChild(albumTitle);
      albumLink = document.createElement("a");
      albumLink.className = "nav";
      albumLink.setAttribute("href", "javascript:showRecent(" + days + ");");
      albumTitle.appendChild(albumLink);
 
      albumLinkText = document.createTextNode(text);
      albumLink.appendChild(albumLinkText);
      spacerDiv = document.createElement("div");
      spacerDiv.className = "spacer";
      miniBox.appendChild(spacerDiv);
 
      divTags[i].insertBefore(miniBox, divTags[i].childNodes[1]);
 
      break;
    }
  }
}
 
function showRecent(days) {
  endDate = new Date();
  oneDay = 1000*60*60*24;
  startDate = new Date(endDate.getTime() - (parseInt(days) * oneDay));
 
  sUrl = "/date/";
  sUrl += startDate.getFullYear() + "-" + padDate(startDate.getMonth() + 1) + "-" + padDate(startDate.getDate());
  sUrl += "/";
  sUrl += endDate.getFullYear() + "-" + padDate(endDate.getMonth() + 1) + "-" + padDate(endDate.getDate());
 
  window.location = sUrl;
}
 
function padDate(datePart) {
  if (datePart.toString().length != 1)
    return datePart
 
  return "0" + datePart;
}

To run this function, add the following to the body tag code...

Code:

<body onload="addRecentFeatured(text, days, thumbUrl);">

where
- text = title to be displayed next to feature album
- days = number of days (since today) to include
- thumbUrl = url of the thumbnail image

eg.

Code:

<body onload="addRecentFeatured('Recent Work', 60, '/photos/52382214-Ti-4.jpg');">

You can check it out here

Cheers,

David

Mine shows up as first among the other galleries. For some odd reason, it shows second in IE. Exemple: http://www.borealphoto.com/galleries

One thing you might have missed is the code needed in the body tag:

<body onload="addRecentFeatured(text, days, thumbUrl);">

Replace...

1- "text" with the text you want under or beside the thumbnail. On my site, it says "Recent".
2- "days" with the number of days you want
3- "thumburl" with the the adress of a thumbnail on your site. That thumbnail will link to the recent gallery, like the thumbnails link to ther galleries. To find the thumb's adress, right-click on a thumbnail and click on "copy image adress" or "copy image url" (something similar, my browswer is in French).

You can also use a text link:

<a href="javascript:showRecent(30)">Recent work</a>

I still don't how to reverse the order though.The last image uploaded shows last instead of first.

And make sure you put a feature request in the support forum or via email so it becomes a standard feature instead of a hack.

}

function padDate(datePart)
{
   if (datePart.toString().length != 1)
     return datePart
   return "0" + datePart;
}
//Goto Recent Gallery

then I placed the following into the navbar html

Code:

<li><a href="javascript:showRecent(30)">Recent</a></li>

Works great since the recent gallery is just a /date/YYYY-MM-DD/YYYY-MM-DD string added to the url.

I hope you don't mind me reusing this part of the code. I figured someone might want to try the Navbar 'recent' gallery link.

Hi Javier -

thanks for the great code.

Is there some way top change the date uploaded to smugmug to the date the photo was taken?

I just loaded a bunch a photos on and they all appear as recent...

thanks!

I would like to see SmugMug develop a section for the homepage which shows recent photos as they have created the "featured" section. It seems obvious that you would want to show people your newest additions. I would also like to see this in some type of slideshow format or a image rotator. Is SmugMug currently working on a "recent photos" project?

etfg · Jun-05-2009, 07:36 AM #51

QUESTION!!!!!!!!!
I think I have it working, but it seems to only add new images,, I want it to show only the last 7 days.

So I dont want to do this for the timeline (homepage slideshow thing) but rather for my gallery I have setup in my navbar for "recent uploads" which is a seperate gallery. Right I have it set to show the last few days of uploads (under smart gallery settings) but have to go back every few days to update..

I am a newb, but is there a way to customize just my gallery with the above instructions show it will show last 200 uploads, or uploads in the last 14 days ??? And what CSS should I use?? Thanks! Sorry if my question is dumb.

***Smug Eric*** · Jun-05-2012, 02:23 PM #54

I'm not sure if that is that is something that can be done. Where it limits the photos that show in the gallery to only the most recent XX number of images. You can do it manually by hiding the images.
