Purpose of the Mod

When media is added to TNG you have the option to add an owner or source of the media and the year/date of the media. This info is displayed when you view the media, but is not searchable within TNG.

This adds a page called listowner.php that displays each owner or source with a count for how many items are attributed to that owner. Clicking the link will take you to browseowner.php which displays each media item for that owner or source. Likewise listyear.php displays the dates of each media item, clicking the link takes you to browseyear.php.

Custom Text Additions

Note that config file only includes the English language changes, so if you support multiple languages you will need to add these lines to each of your language cust_text.php files with appropriate translations of course. The version 11.0.0.0+ includes optional Dutch, French, and German translations that will install if needed.

Linking this mod to your site

The cfg file contains the new and amended pages needed, but does not create any links to these new pages. You will need to add a link manually in your topmenu.php file. A quick summary of the steps to do this as follows:

1 Create a copy of topmenu.php and keep it safe in case things go wrong.

2 Open topmenu.php in notepad or your web page editing software.

3 Add the following line of code of topmenu.php (there will be a number of similar lines of code already in topmenu.php, so you should be able to work out where to add this new line)

echo "<li><a href=\"{$cms['tngpath']}listowner.php\" class=\"lightlink\">{$text['mediasource']}</a></li>\n";

4 Save the changes to topmenu.php

5 FTP the amended topmenu.php to your webserver, overwriting the exisiting file.

6 If things go wrong, replace with the backup you kept in step 1

7 Repeat steps to add a link to the listyear.php file by changing 'mediasource' to 'mediayear'.

Or you can try creating a new menu and adding this link to it, such as described in the Site Menu Mod article

Coding_Links_in_Pages also gives some tips for adding links to pages
