CARMA 1.3.1.0 lets members mark videos, photos, actors, or custom tags as favorites and access them through two new template functions: carma_favorite and carma_list_favorites.

Listing Favorites

carma_list_favorites prints a member's favorite content. You can output all favorite content or select only a single favorite type. By default, the output of this folder is controlled by the template list

Examples

• To output all member's favorites:

{carma_list_favorites}

• To output all content favorites (video and photo sets):

{carma_list_favorites get='gals'}

• To output all photo set favorites:

{carma_list_favorites get='gals' type='gal'}

• To output all video set favorites:

{carma_list_favorites get='gals' type='video'}

• To output all actor favorites:

{carma_list_favorites get='actors'}

• To output all custom favorites:

{carma_list_favorites get='custom'}

• To output all custom favorites with section tag of clips:

{carma_list_favorites get='custom' section_name='clips'}

Add/Removing Favorites

Mark content as a favorite template function carma_favorite. This outputs a link that either adds or deletes this content to their favorites. By default, this function uses the template favorite for its output.

Examples

For favorite videos and photos:

• {carma_favorite galid=$galid}
• {carma_favorite galid=$smarty.request.galid}
• {carma_favorite galid=42}

For favorite actor:

• {carma_favorite actorid=11}

To create a custom favorite:

• {carma_favorite section_name=”fav_type” caption=”title” data=”anything you want here”}

The fields section_name and caption are required for custom favorites. The field, data, can be any Smarty variable; for example: if you want to bookmark a page, you can set data to the page's URL and set caption to page's title. Section differs for each group of favorites you're tracking; for example: you can have a section for 'clips' and a section for 'photos', and then track the each member's favorite clips and the favorite photos separately.

To bookmark the current page:

{capture name=link}
http://{$smarty.server.HTTP_HOST}{rebuild_link encode=1}
{/capture}
{carma_favorite section_name='clips' caption=$filename data=$smarty.capture.link}

You can also use the code above to create a list of a member's favorite video clips (instead of making the entire video set a favorite).
