contains only subcategories none pictures will be fetched ( limitation
of cpmFetch )

- Number of category
- number of the categories divided by comma
- categories and albums are in AND relation, if source selection: albums and categories

rated, most rated, last commented ( for this option the source

Part2 + Screen shot
- Path to CpmFetch
- 2 possible choices -
- 1. relative path to cpmFetch
- Example - joomla and coppermine gallery are installed
at the same directory level - and cpmFetch 2.0 is installed
successfully under /gallery/cpmfetch --> then the correct path is: ../gallery/cpmfetch"
- I use the relative path, because this path stays the
same after uploading from a local test environment - so there is no
need to adapt this path for every module entry
- 2. direct path of the file system
- this path is NOT the "http://www/xxx" address rather than the physical path of your file system ( mainly linux ).
- to find under: phpInfo at the Backend of Joomla - HELP
- SYSTEMINFO - PHP INFORMATION - look for DOCUMENT ROOT - then you have
to add the cpmFetch folder to the found path
- Example: DOCUMENT ROOT ="www/html/webspace". The correct path will be "www/html/webspace/gallery/cpmfetch", if the settings of the above example are the same
- Name of configuration file
- during the installation of cpmFetch a configuration file
named "cpmfetch_config.php" will be generated. This name is predefined
at the backend
- in case you want to fetch pictures from several galleries , using this module - you can use a different configuration file
- Easiest way to get a different valid configuration file:
- install cpmFetch into the other gallery
- copy and rename the generated "cpmfetch_config.php" file into the original used cpmFetch Installation
- change the name of the configuration file at the module Backend
- Therefore you can fetch pictures from more than one gallery
- Choice of predefined CSS styles
- There are 4 predefined styles. The colors where generated
via web based tool
http://wellstyled.com/tools/colorscheme2/index-en.html - with
monochromatic settings
- these classes can be modified - have a look under /css/mod_extcoppermine.css
- Module class suffix
- used to individually adapt the module CSS. This will be added to the CSS class "table.modultable"
- CSS classes for TABLE, TH, TR, TD, A, IMG Tags
- Here you can add single CSS classes for the Tags above.
- these classes can be modified - have a look under /css/mod_extcoppermine.css
- if you enter CSS classes here - they will overwrite the classes from the predefined settings
- Example: use of predefined style4. Enter "cpg_table_style2"
into the TABLE field - will overwrite the CSS settings of the TABLE Tag
- but it can be any valid CSS style, which has already been loaded from
the template
- Width and height of the picture
- If not entered then width and height use the settings from
option "Type of picture" - which can have the following settings:
"Standard Thumbnail, Intermediate Picture, Large picture ". Standard is
"Thumbnail". The settings from the coppermine gallery of picture
dimensions will be used for
- If one value is entered then the other will change in relation to it.
- if you change both. then it might distort your pictures
- I still used it for small thumbnails - size 50x50 - because it is hard to see any distortion at this size
