Picture of the Week

[Luckyluke]

Hi,

Here something for the PHP coders...

I have a folder under MEDIA, for example, "pic_week". In that folder are 52 photos with the names  pic-01.jpg, pic-02.jpg and so on until pic-52.jpg.
Well, I'm looking for a snippet that shows every week a new photo. So at week 5, it shows pic-05.jpg; at week 40 it shows pic-40.jpg.
I think this is a snipped that can be done in one line... but, I'm no coder... snif snif... 

Grtz,
Luc

Hello,

without any checks if the image exists, you can use the following in the index.php of your template:

Code:

<img src="<?php echo WB_URL . MEDIA_DIRECTORY; ?>/pic_week/pic-<?php echo date('W', time()); ?>.jpg" alt="" />

This should result in an output like:

Code:

<img src="http://localhost/webserver/wb27/media/pic_week/pic-39.jpg" alt="" />

Hey,

Thanks a lot. I will test it the following days.
What about week 1 to 10? is it pic-1.jpg or pic-01.jpg?

And there is no need for testing if the picture exist.

Grtz,

Weeks should be in xx format (week 1 := 01).

If this is true, you don't need to test.

Week 125 will not happen.

I've got this idea from the town where I go to ski every year.
On there site they got a "Foto der Woche".
It's no WB site. if you want to see it, click here. It's a little town on the west of Austria.

I just think something. We've got a module to display a rondom picture. Maybe the php-coders can change this module with a "picture of the day", "picture of ther week", "picture of the month" and a "random picture". Just an idea...

If you look at the picture of the week, you see it is allmost 3 weeks old.

Looks to me, it is something they are doing manually whenever someone sends a nice picture.

That would be easy to build 
Just create a wysiwyg page and add an image.

Yeah, you're right. That's why I will take some pictures and put it already in a map.
You know, this place is really a small town. When a chicken and a cow dies they must close the local zoo. The baker, mayor and fireman are all the same people      Just kidding...

Ironically... they change the "foto der Woche" this week.
