Freddies Gallery Hack

[TechTalk]

Hey Freddie,
Do you think there is any chance of you releasing your gallery hack (http://www.chins-n-quills.com/forums/gallery.php?s=) or possibly getting something similar implemented into a future version?

Wow, thats a really cool hack. It would be even better if there was room for a caption of some kind too.

Nice work,

1 - It is unoptimized
2 - It requires .gif support to be compiled into GD, which you are not going to have unless you do it yourself.
3 - It it still creating thumbnails on the fly as I have not had the time to modify the script to create thumbnails at the time of post.
4 - I already told you that I wasn't releasing it so why are you still asking :confused:

I could possibly in the future but I have too many things to work on right now that I can't bother with gallery.php right now.

Someone need's to release those tensions before they come out to play, or maybe learn how to take a compliment and let someone know they appreciate it once in a while. :)

eh? Refer to #4. I don't know why Techtalk created this thread as I already told him in a PM that I would not be releasing this.

Yes vB could use some sort of system for detailing attachments in a central location but what I currently have is not good enough to fulfill that need.

No offence, I can understand what your saying it's just that....
"Well-timed silence hath more eloquence than speech."

and as bira said cute animals....

Freddie, do you have chins or hedgies? Are there any pics of your animals in that gallery? I'm fascinated! Those animals are sooooo cute! (we don't have them in my country).

Really nice work, Freddie :)

I have both and you can find tons of pictures of either in the above mentioned gallery.

i like how vB's mass avatar/icon uploading and display system works... maybe use that for a gallery hack ;)

[Freddie Bingham]

I'll see if we can't get at least the image attachments out of the database and into the filesystem as it makes it easier to handle thumbnail creation and storage. We can then use .htaccess to block other sites from hotlinking our images.

I have put gallery.php on the todo list for 2.1 but no promises on that..

Sweetness!
