Portlet to display a random Photo
Document Actions
This Portlet displays a random Photo. It needs CMFPhoto and CMFPhotoAlbum.
Create a Pagetemplate named portlet_rndphoto in your custom Folder.
Place the following code into it:
<html xmlns:tal="http://xml.zope.org/namespaces/tal"
xmlns:metal="http://xml.zope.org/namespaces/metal"
i18n:domain="rndphoto">
<body>
<div metal:define-macro="portlet">
<div class="portlet" id="portlet-rndphoto">
<h5 i18n:translate="box_rndphoto">Random Photo</h5>
<div class="portletBody"
tal:define="presults python:container.portal_catalog(portal_type='Photo',
path='/'.join(here.getPhysicalPath()),
review_state=['published','visible']);" >
<tal:block tal:define="pobj python:random.choice(presults).getObject()">
<div class="portletContent odd">
<a href=""
tal:attributes="href string:${pobj/absolute_url}/view">
<b tal:content=" string:${pobj/title_or_id}" /> <br/>
<img tal:attributes="src string:${pobj/absolute_url}/variant/thumbnail" alt="" />
</a>
</div>
<div class="portletContent even">
<span tal:omit-tag="" i18n:domain="plone" i18n:translate="posted_by">Posted by</span>
<!--tal:attributes="href python:here.portal_membership.getHomeUrl(pobj.Creator) -->
<span class="link-user">
<a href=""
tal:attributes="href python:here.portal_membership.getHomeUrl(pobj.Creator())"
tal:on-error="nothing"
tal:content="string:${pobj/Creator}">
Author
</a>
<span tal:omit-tag="" i18n:domain="plone" i18n:translate="label_published">Published</span>:
<span tal:replace="string:${pobj/Date}" />
</span>
</div>
</tal:block>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
Goto your Plone root or the folder you want to display the portlet in and add to the right/left_slots property here/portlet_rndphoto/macros/portlet.
This works with CMFPhoto and CMFPhotoalbum, but it can be easily customized to be used with other photoalbum products ;)
