What page does this show up on?

@twitface

In all the pages that use owner_block

Actually, by default, it shows up nowhere.

In start.php line 35 ought to read

extend_view('owner_block/extend','photo_cumulus/view');

and not extend_view('page_elements/owner_block','photo_cumulus/owner_block');

or at least this is what I had to alter it to to get it to work.

@Dagorath

owner_block/extend work for me on elgg base.

@Pedro Prez

Didn't work for me. Albeit, I am using an SVN version.

Gah. Misread.

...yes, owner_block/extend would work. It's what I changed it to. :)

Now on all the pages it says it needs Flash Player 9 or better...is there any way to integrate that into the plugin so people without Flash 9 can view the widget?

@twitface

You error is here

http://supertwitface.com/mod/photo_cumulus/vendors/photowidget.swf

Try change the swf file permission to 777.

Cheers!

@pedro I changed the file permissions and still the same error

@twitface

I get 404 error still when i try view this file

http://supertwitface.com/mod/photo_cumulus/vendors/photowidget.swf

If you change the persmisson you would see the swf file.

Try again

I changed the permissions to 777, 775, and 744 and they all come up with either a 403 or 404 error message.

@twitface & @pedro

I don't think this is a permissions error. I get the same forbidden error, but it works on my site. Further, the permissions on the /mod/photo_cumulus dir do not allow external access either. If you check, you'll see that that dir isn't accessible directly. Nor is the vendors dir. I'd suggest that permissions would need changing on the directory structure -as well as- the files, but this is working fine on my site with no alterations so I doubt that that is it.

twitface, you have to have Flash Player 9 (or better) installed as a plugin for your browser for the carousel to be visible, as it is a Flash object.

I installed this but i cant see a widget nor can i see any thing in profile or main page. Dagorath can you please give us step by step tutorial of how to do it

As stated before...

All I did was upload the plugin to the /mod folder, then when it didn't show up I took a peek at another plugin which also appears in the owner_block. Noting that this plugin had the line

extend_view('page_elements/owner_block','photo_cumulus/owner_block');

in start.php, and that the other had a different line doing the same job, I modified the above line to read

extend_view('owner_block/extend','photo_cumulus/view');

...and after that it showed up fine. Here's a screenshot:

Still doesnt show i tried changing the line and installed flash player but no luck it shows as empty box.

@Dagorath
thanx, now it works for me too.
But i don`t like to see it on every page.
How can i get it only to the homepage?

How come it is not working for me???

Yes, remember to change the start.php  or it will not works! Thanks to Dagorath .

 extend_view('page_elements/owner_block','photo_cumulus/owner_block'); 

to

extend_view('owner_block/extend','photo_cumulus/view');

How can I put this on custom-index page?  Like the tag cumulus?

I tried same code and renaming tag to photo... but that didn't work :-(

TIA

@elgg_noob

Try copying the code inside example.php

Pedro, thanks again for a really  C O O L  addon!

Right, and where do I put it ?

I tried the following but it broke my site :-)

<?php
    if(is_plugin_enabled('photo_cumulus')){
?>
        <!-- display cumulus tags -->
        <div class="index_box">
            <h2>Photo Cumulus</h2>
            <div class="contentWrapper")
            <?php
                echo '<div id="photo_cumulus_container">';
                echo display_photo_cumulus(0,50,'tags','object','','','') . '</div>';
            ?>
        </div>
<?php
    }
?>

@Pedro Prez

Ok, I got it!  followed your example.php  here  is the code I used to put it on my custom-index page.

<?php
    if(is_plugin_enabled('photo_cumulus')){
?>
        <!-- display cumulus photos -->
        <div class="index_box">
            <h2>Photo Cumulus</h2>
            <div class="contentWrapper")
            <?php
                echo elgg_view('photo_cumulus/view', array('width' => '200', 'height' => '200', '', 'usernumber' => '10', 'background_transparent' => 'yes'));
            ?>
        </div>
<?php
    }
?>
