ezBlocks titles as HTML
« on: July 09, 2014, 04:50:42 am »
It would be nice that ezBlocks title names could be HTML sensitive. That would allow to add to the title other things like links or formats.

This would allow that some of the blocks that I'm using, like "Recent Photos" could have a link for "List All", leading the members to the list of all recent photos.

Basically I want to imitate the Recent Picture mod from the Gallery Pro on the ezPortal.

You can see here: http://themobilephotographyblog.com/forum/ that the "Recent Pictures (List All)" where "List All" is  a link that leads to other page.

On ezPortal block: http://themobilephotographyblog.com/ there is no "List All". I wanted to add it. One of the solutions was that the title of the Block could recognize HTML so I could put there a code like <a ref="...">. If it would recognize, Blocks would have more potential.

Jonas, I could probably make you an HTML page, that would link you to the various sections of you Gallery site, with maybe 2 colums, like an index , but it looks like the feeds have to be done individually at this, time, I don't really this you'd want to list all of them, it will take allot of space and band width and make for a messy outcome!
unless I'm not on the same page, I think a menu to the gallery site would be best!

I don't want to create a query or a new list of pictures to present. The Gallery has already a way to show the Recent Photos via this link: http://themobilephotographyblog.com/gallery/?sa=listall;type=recent

So I just wanted to introduce that link in the Title of the Block like: " Recent Photos (List All) "

of course the [url] statement, as well the <a href="..."> </a> doesn't work as the block titles recognize it as pure text.

Jonas,

I do understand now, but can not understand the need for these, or should I say why would you want this? there are so many ways to get to the subject or topic without this, seem like overkill to me, but this is my thoughts only at this point.

Could you kindly explain the need for this!

You may how ever make an ezblock to direct your members to the Categories or sub categories, by creating a menu block on either side of the portal. and name what ever you like.

Regards,
Maxx

Well, if you see the "Recent Pictures" mod from the SMF Gallery Pro on my main forum http://themobilephotographyblog.com/forum/ you probably see what I mean. After installing the ezPortal, one of the first questions I had from members was "where is the link to see the recent photos" because they were used to use it what also shows the importance of it.

I did create a ezBlock with links to most common links used of the gallery including the recent pictures but I feel it's not the same.

Btw, is there any way to center a ezBlock title?

Jonas, No luck yet....But if there is way them Ez, will comment on this, and or add it if needed. I was thinking it could happen, but did not find yet! but I will check on this at my test! I also saw you other requests, and He will also commend on these.

Did you check on all the gallery settings, in the Admin section, there many options there!

Maxx

Yes, I'm familiar with the Gallery Settings. The requests I made are similar to the ones I made on the SMFHacks site (on the Gallery Pro section). I'm looking for ways to make specifically the Gallery more dynamic.

I already create a ezBlock with links to the following areas of the Gallery:
* Main Gallery
* Recent Photos
* Top Rated
* Most Viewed
* Recently commented
* Random Mode
* Unviewed Photos

What I wanted was to make it more visible (with a proper ezBlock with title and pictures) and include a dynamic to it by setting weekly and/or monthly Tops.

I also think that an Portal with a better integration with SMFHacks mods would increase the use of ezPortal compared to other alternatives.

Jonas,

I will try to get this request to EZ, he has many things he's doing and working with and we are always, talking about improvements to the Ezportal.
One thing we need to not get carried way, due to the possible changes in the SMF future version/s, they will need  a lot of consideration, for all mods and their creators. however, I'm sure He will be able to help you or at least a suggestion on what can be done.
And all things will be considered in any future updates. And also thank you for your insight on these things.

If you notice lately in the last few months there have been many improvements in the ezPortal system.

all things help!

kind regards,
Maxx

Yeah this something that I would need to code. Might do to ezportal first since it would be easier than the gallery I think itself.

I really appreciate any developments that you might deliver. What I'm missing most is the weekly and monthly tops to promote the most recent activities, so the Weekly/Monthly Top Rated, Most Commented and Most Viewed ezBlocks are really a must.  :)

If the ezBlock exists, than I can put it anywhere in the site and I almost don't needed delivered on the Gallery Mod.
