Celebrity Photos (non leak) and mini bios...

[Mikemike]

I know this would be more work for the admin (who is already exhausted no doubt), but I would find it beneficial to the interest of the site to post a few official photos (or candids) of each celebrity, and a mini bio explaining who they are and why I would care to see them naked. The WWF girls are a few, as well as some of the athletes and b-list actors are some who could benefit from a little context. Besides, it's super hot to see a full-dressed photo of someone in the same directory as the naked pics. Perhaps their placeholder pictures could be the clothed versions....

I agree with this. And you are right about adding more work to any already over burdened admin. Maybe he could design the layout and simply appoint an assistant to maintain just this role for each celeb/album.

I'm actually kinda good with this, too. It might be more time, and even more than probably more ads for server time and just time in general, but it might be worth it. Maybe like a wiki?

Interesting, someone suggested adding an imdb link or wikipedia link to each celebrity, I guess Ill write this for the to-do list . Thanks for the suggestions

Maybe I'm wrong, but it's pretty simple to Google a name? I mean this dude's got his shit cut out for him fighting with server hosts and lawyers. The last thing I'd want to do is shaft him with some vanity/cosmetic task that lets my dick know why the tits I'm looking at are famous.


EDIT: I sounded a bit confrontational here. I mean, it'd be nice to know why they're famous, but in the mess of lawyers (I fucking hate dealing with lawyers), server issues, and whatnot mini-bios just seem like a hassle for him.

[Alamain]

Agreed, it is easy to google a name, all we were discussing is what we would like to see, as Root asked us.

Maybe once things are a little more settled, the owner/operator of the forum can enroll some help and then the bios can get done. Given the uncertainty now, I highly doubt he'd take the risk of asking ANYONE to help him construct bios and update the site.

[root]

Haha Ill slowly start working on that, not a lot of free time (how I wish this leak happened in the summer) but Ill try to get it done.

You could add a section and make a script to auto-fetch certain information into it, such as most known for, mini bio, etc. Alternatively just add search query links ( http://google.com/?q=First+Lastname ) for Wikipedia, IMDB and Google.

Example:


IE: Add another section block as the ads one below, above with a mini bio and/or search links.

Also, it doesn't have to require much work for the admin if PHP is used to automatically get the information, using the album name to do the auto-fetch search.

I was bored and threw together some code for this. The code will generate search links for Google, IMDB and Wikipedia. There's no mini-bio with this code.
I might continue to work on it to fetch the first paragraph of the Wikipedia result, which would be a fairly good mini-bio seeing as it usually has the "most known for" information.

I hope this can be implemented, and that the below code helps root out if not completely, then at least some.

Note: This code is specifically designed for this site and might not work elsewhere

Code: Select all

<?php
// Get current URL to fetch name in title
$url = 'http://'.$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];

// Make sure it's the first time we check so that we don't end up in an infinite loop
if($_GET['titleset'] != 'yes')
{
   // Call the function to get the title
   // NOTE: If there's a variable with Piwigo that holds the site title just replace "getTitle($url)" with that variable
   $title = getTitle($url);
}

// Clean up the title to only have the name left
$title = explode('|', $title);
$name = $title[0];
$name = rtrim($name, ' ');
$searchName = str_replace(' ', '+', $name);

// Create variables with search links for a few sites
$google = '<a href="https://www.google.com/search?q='.$searchName.'" target="_blank">Search using Google</a>';
$imdb = '<a href="http://www.imdb.com/find?q='.$searchName.'" target="_blank">Search using IMDB</a>';
$wikipedia = '<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?search='.$searchName.'" target="_blank">Search using Wikipedia</a>';

// Output the search links to the page, as well as line breaks for each one (<br>)
// NOTE: The variables are only usable AFTER the above code.
echo $google;
echo '<br>';
echo $imdb;
echo '<br>';
echo $wikipedia;
echo '<br>';

// Function to fetch the title of the specified URL (current page)
function getTitle($url)
{
   // Check if we need to use ? or & for the parameters to not end up in a loop
   if(empty($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']))
   {
      $url = $url.'?titleset=yes';
   }
   else
   {
      $url = $url.'&titleset=yes';
   }

   // Get the contents of the current page
   if($contents = @file_get_contents($url))
   {
      // Find the title
      preg_match_all('/<title>(.*)<\/title>/', $contents, $matches);

      // Return the title to the function caller
      return $matches[1][0];
   }
}
?>
