Recent Photos gallery broken

DJKennedy · February 9, 2008

Not sure if this is due to what ever SM was working on tonight but I noticed a while back and again just now that when I click on my recent photos gallery - it gives me an error. It takes me to a Server Not Found error (FF2). Also, the URL changes to http://.smugmug.com/

What didcha do guys? :huh

I know *I* didn't make any changes...sooooo...did some one forget to turn something back on :wink

Since "recent photos" isn't a known term by most, you might want to explain that your Recent Photos link on your home page is executing a javascript function showRecent(14) with this as the definition of that javascript function.

<pre>
function showRecent(days)
{
endDate = new Date();
oneDay = 1000*60*60*24;
startDate = new Date(endDate.getTime() - (parseInt(days) * oneDay));
sUrl = "http://www.smugmug.com/homepage/templatechange.mg?TemplateID=3&origin=http://www.djkennedy.com/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;
}</pre>

This ends up constructing an URL like this:
<pre>http://www.smugmug.com/homepage/templatechange.mg?TemplateID=3&origin=http://www.djkennedy.com/date/2008-01-01/2008-2008-02-01</pre>

The <pre>http://www.djkennedy.com/date/2008-01-01/2008-2008-02-01</pre> part of the URL works. It's the templatechange.mg part that isn't working. You'll need some advice from someone at Smugmug on that.

Well...yeah - thats true

Figured the guys n gals (SM gurus) would (hopefully) know what I was talking about. It's midnight so my brain is frazzled.

I do notice that using IE7, I get a page can not be displayed error, and in the addy bar, it shows .smugmug.com/homepage/templatechange.mg?TemplateID=3&origin=http://www.djkennedy.com/date/2008-01-26/2008-02-09

(stupid thing keeps adding url code to make it a link...)

Which is more than what FF shows. This issue only cropped up today as far as I am aware.

Based on Andy's comments in this thread - http://www.dgrin.com/showthread.php?t=83926&highlight=templatechange - it sounds like the template change code is the problem (as opposed to the recent photos gallery), and that it no longer works after the security changes that were just rolled out (http://www.dgrin.com/showthread.php?t=83916).

I know the recent photos (via Barb's code) works without a template specification because I use it from my blog.

You may not be able to use templateID anymore, thought I'm not sure.

In any case, as I said from the help desk, please wait for Devbobo to post. Thanks.

Yep, left a msg in the thread you indicated in the email.

Maybe it will make sense to remove that link for the now.

Denise: could you link me to where I can find 'recent photos/Barbs code' code? I'll probably need to update/upgrade mine anyway, now might be a good time to do it....

Funny, I don't know why I thought this was Barb's code... But I just found it again. It's in the thread linked to from # 66 in the advanced customization FAQ - http://www.dgrin.com/showthread.php?t=52811. I used the code in post # 10 of that thread. I believe the only differnce in the version that you are using is the templatechange.mg?TemplateID=3, and that's the piece that no longer works.

You can see it in use on my Kaleidoscope page (where it says click for photos from the last 15 days).

Change your javascript so that instead of generating and URL like this:

http://www.smugmug.com/homepage/templatechange.mg?TemplateID=3&origin=http://www.djkennedy.com/date/2008-01-01/2008-2008-02-01</pre>
It generates, an URL like this:

http://www.djkennedy.com/date/2008-01-01/2008-2008-02-01</pre>
by simply removing all the template change stuff at the beginning of it. You will still get your recent photos, you just won't be controlling what view they are in (it will pick that up from the viewer's last choice in their cookie).

THanks again for your help!

DJKennedy · February 9, 2008

Worked like a charm John, thanks!

Derek

Once again, one happy dude...

DJKennedy · February 9, 2008

Now...can we reverse the order of the recent photos to show the last photo uploaded first?
