I am a web designer and a photographer, this is my personal online portfolio and blog

Hi all!

Myself and Cork Camera Group are hiring out a studio in the next few weeks, for you it’s a chance to get shots from 8 different photographers, I can even send you links to their galleries beforehand so you can see which style suits you etc..

It’s the usual arrangement of trade for cd, so we pay for the studio, take photos, you sign a model release, and in exchange, each photographer that did a session with you sends you a cd of the images for your portfolio.

Please email me if you are interested!!

Having built a listings web site www.weloverestaurants.ie I thought it would be a good opportunity to give back to the txp community with a recording of how we achieved certain things with this great open source cms!

I just want to give you the bits of code highlighted in the tutorials/case study above, and the plug-in’s I mentioned in it:

Default form code:

<h2><txp:title /></h2> <div class="article"> <txp:article_image class="image" thumbnail="1" /> <txp:excerpt /> <txp:body /> <txp:ako_social images="1" imgclass="social" imgsrcdir="images/social" digg="1" googlebookmarks="1" twitthis="1" wraptag="div" wrapclass="social" /> <txp:if_custom_field name="bookingsemail"> <txp:output_form form="bookings" /> </txp:if_custom_field> <txp:if_comments_allowed> <h4>Visitor comments and restaurant promos!</h4> <txp:comments /> <txp:comments_form /> </txp:if_comments_allowed> </div>

Bookings form code:

<txp:zem_contact to='<txp:custom_field name="bookingsemail" />' label="Make a booking enquiry!"> <p><em>Thank you for your interest in this restaurant. The restaurant team will get back to you to confirm details and book your table / event. Please only make booking enquiries at least 24 hours in advance of your chosen date and time, thank you!</em></p> <div> <h4>Contact Details:</h4> <txp:zem_contact_text label="First Name:*" required="1" /><br /> <txp:zem_contact_text label="Surname:*" required="1" /><br /> <txp:zem_contact_email label="Email:*" required="1" /><br /> <txp:zem_contact_text label="Phone:*" required="1" /><br /> <h4>Dining Details:</h4> <txp:zem_contact_select label="Day* - " list=",1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30,31" selected="1" required="1" /><txp:zem_contact_select label=" Month* - " list=",January,February,March,April,May,June,July,August,September,October,November,December" selected="12" required="1" /> <txp:zem_contact_select label=" Year* - " list=",2010,2011,2012" selected="2010" required="1" /><br /><br /> <txp:zem_contact_text label="Time:*" required="1" /><br /><br /> <txp:zem_contact_text label="Number of Adults:*" required="1" /><br /><br /> <txp:zem_contact_text label="Number of Children: (Write 0 if none)*" required="1" /><br /><br /> <txp:zem_contact_textarea cols="40" rows="3" label="Any Additional Requests:" required="0" /><br /><br /> <txp:zem_contact_serverinfo name="REQUEST_URI" label="Page" /> <txp:zem_contact_submit label="Send Enquiry" /> </div> </txp:zem_contact>

Below code tested with Drupal 5, not sure if it works on Drupal 6, please let me know if you try it!

Just replace your $content variable with the code below, which is in your node.tpl.php file located in your themes folder. Apologies if anyone finds fault with the below, it works, and I couldn’t find any code on the internet for it, being not a programmer it could be a little ugly, but it does work ;)

<?php if ($teaser): ?>

<?php
global $user;
// if visitor is not logged in
if (!$user->uid) {
// print the teaser
print $content;
} else {
// if user is logged in print the teaser
print $content;
}
?>

<?php elseif (!$teaser): ?>

<?php
global $user;
// if anonymous visitor and content type is all except blog or page
if (!$user->uid && $node->type != 'blog' && $node->type != 'page') {
// lock anonymous visitors out of the full article
print("<div class='messages'>Please <a href='/user/register'>register</a> or <a href='/user'>login</a> to view images!</div>");
} else {
// show all content for all content types to logged in users
print $content;
}
?>

<?php endif;?>

Done!

The day started at around 10-11am, and went right on through the night. I tried to squeeze as much as possible into my little schedule, but because some workshops/events clashed, I picked my favorites and stayed clock watching for the day.

As I write this now, I’m still pretty tired, but what a day. The sun was shining, there was a nip in the air, and everyone was rosy cheeked. After a quick coffee I was on my way, and I found myself even getting involved in events that I really intended to document with a rather cold eye.

The warmth of the day, people donating their time. People donating their food. People donating their buildings/workplaces. People donating wool, to willow branches, to cakes, to time. For what? For the community, and I think it must have been the first time in many decades that Douglas Street felt that warmth of neighborhood, but more importantly, this day was honouring women, women who’s history we have either forgotten, or never been taught. Women and men who paved the way, not just for women’s rights, but for human rights. From light-hearted lotion making, to moving and stirring words from female activists, the day had just the right balance for me.

Now the photography/technical stuff: what a tough day’s shooting! Going from dark indoor spaces, to outside with glaring sun and harsh shadows, to indoors with lovely but very bright back lighting.. I tell you as a photographer I was tested that’s for sure :) But hopefully the results are good, at least I have a few favorites (top favourite of the bunch for me is the photo of Maura Harrington below), and the rest you can see on flickr!

Me: oh thanks for printing these.. um, I included a bleed how come there’s white space?
Printer: what’s a bleed?
Me: um, where the colour goes to the edge of the page
Boss listening in: there’s no lazer printer in the WORLD that does a bleed girl, they print it bigger and guillotine it
Me: em, can you do that for me then please, i don’t really care how it’s done to be honest
Boss: but you didn’t give us the document in a bigger size
Me: I included a 10mm bleed on what I sent
Boss: oh right *disappears
Me: era it’s grand, I’ll take it anyway (they clearly have never guillotined anything and have little idea what i’m on about)
Staff: sorry about that, I can discount the lamination tho, it’s probably a more commercial printer that can do a bleed for you, sorry I didn’t know what it was
Me: no worries :)

Why not just say, you can get bleed done elsewhere, but WE don’t do it! Easy!!
