I am very grateful with all the help you provide so far Vuud.
I followed your suggestion above. I also re-read Fist Full of Code (FFoC): CPMFetch:
http://www.fistfullofcode.com/projects/copperminefetch/index.php, focusing on "Selecting specific albums and categories:
http://www.fistfullofcode.com/projects/copperminefetch/manual/ch05s02.html and adapting the "Tips and Tricks"
http://www.fistfullofcode.com/projects/copperminefetch/tips.php.
CPM Test Page #2c for TOTI (Album- & Category-specific Photos, Variable sizes, and Photo-framing):
http://mmedia.treasuresoftheinternet.org/cpmfetch-tutorials/toti-test2c.phpsummarizes what I have learned so far in understanding CPMFetch since we started interacting in this forum.
It is not perfect yet, as you can see. There are more room for improvements. However, the
CPM Test Page #2c for TOTI is a dummy demo for an external webpage that is in the same domain or subdomain as Coppermine (CPG) and CPMFetch. Unlike my former plan, I have rearranged the locations of the components of my websites so that Coppermine (CPG) and CPMFetch would be in the same subdomain as my related websites (based on Joomla, Calendar, Forum, etc.).
I wonder if there are sites where I can get more tutorial on how CPMFetch can be bridged with the aforementioned applications (i.e., Joomla, Calendar, Forum, etc.). While I do not have any scripting background, and it may take me much longer than most people to learn something, I am able to "clone" a script for a specific purpose (e.g., CPM Test Page #2c for TOTI), if I can have access to a well-written tutorials, just like your "Fist Full of Code (FFoC): CPMFetch"
While it will be quite different from page to page, as well as more complex and elaborate, all the actual applications I will have for CPMFetch are already outlined in
CPM Test Page #2c for TOTI (Album- & Category-specific Photos, Variable sizes, and Photo-framing):
http://mmedia.treasuresoftheinternet.org/cpmfetch-tutorials/toti-test2c.phpIn this sense, what I wanted to do is now technical feasible. In relation to this project, my next project would be to attempt to port CPMFetch to Joomla. Would it be possible to show you some relevant information from Joomla random photos "module" to get some ideas from you on how I can use that to port CPMFetch to Joomla?
Thanks again for your continued help and patience.
