LOL, Tefra, I wish there was something better. Automatic absolute linking is not without its problems. Manually linking is sort of a PITA at first. A combination thereto may result in other unexpected behavior. It's mostly about trying to get a mod to reside wherever wanted, whether inside or outside the forum directory, while accounting for other mods, skins, CMS, subdomains, etcetera.

I don't get this new partial/absolute/global thing. It screwed up the layout of my PhotoPlog.

Say line two of the 'Relative Links' setting is this:
That means that wherever this:
Occurs in the HTML source, it will be replaced by this:
Where this:
Is line two of the 'Absolute Links' setting.


Of course, you'll want to edit this:
In the 'Absolute Links' setting to fit with your site.


Think of it this way: it is a mapping, from line X of 'Relative Links' to line X of 'Absolute Links' so things get linked correctly. Line X of Relative Links maps to line X of Absolute Links, line Y of Relative Links maps to line Y of Absolute Links, line Z of Relative Links maps to line Z of Absolute Links, etcetera.

Some extra settings to add if you DLed v.1.0.7 before this post date...

Just check settings for the following:

Relative Links:
Absolute Links:
Of course change:
To match with your site.


And remember, line X to line X. Want more? Check your HTML source. ;)

Will this gallery able to send ecard?

Well I've had to create the folder structure it wanted and drop the image into that for each skin I had.

NOT ideal!

for the person that wanted 1.0.6.2 ......

okies, installed the upgrade, overwrote the xml product, changed all the absolute links....and i get this...any help at all plz??


EDIT

i had to go into the /photoplog/config.php file, and re add my absolute file path to the file...it works fine now...

I get this error when I try to upload a file? "Bad Open - Cannot Open the images Directory for Writing" Any ideas why? Thanks.

CHMOD the images directory to 766. If that still gives the same message then use 777

I am having a problem. I login to my vbb and then click on my gallery link and it asks me for the username and password. Should it not remember this from the session (/photoblog/index.php$session[sessionurl_q]) I am passing it? In addition, when I put in the username and password, it accepts it then asks for it again.

Ideas?

@tuanluu: PhotoPlog Lite does not have e-card capabilities.

@optrex: The down arrow next to search in the navbar comes from JavaScript:
In the PhotoPlog 'Relative Links' setting there is the following:
And in the PhotoPlog 'Absolute Links' setting there is the following:
Where you can set the absolute link to your menu_open.gif directory.

Thanks for replying but still no joy :(

@bitg: check here and when linking, check for consistent use, or non use, of www or subdomains as it could be a cookie issue.

@funinthesun: 'bad open' only happens when PhotoPlog cannot perform fopen so it's probably a permissions or ownership issue.

Is this the way it should be?

Yep, looks just fine. Check whether you are linking to PhotoPlog with or without the www because if you are logged into http://hidingplace.com/vbb350/ (no www) but then go to http://www.hidingplace.com/photoplog/ (with www) or visa versa, that could ask for another login. Also check that the 'can view files' usergroup permission is set to yes for those usergroups who are allowed to view files.

EDIT: Fixed :nervous: I realised that I had the upload directory set to photoplog/images instead of just images. Doh! Thanks :)

Hi guys!!!! Great hack!!!

One question:

Is there a way so i can upload the pictures into an other host account??
My currently host account has 400MB space and i use 70% of it.If users starts uploading the pictures,in one week the disk quota will be full!!!

Thanks in advance!

Actually, I am linking to photoplog with the following code in my navbar template:

I am not sure what you mean here. I see nothing in the usergroup that makes any references to "files" or "photoplog".

<font color="Lime">*bigdog829 clicks install </font>

Great hack & thanks for the great support I recieved on the photoplog site !!!

hi...

insteal member upload max 500k.... i want to maximum it to 1000 , where do i got to edit...please help

thanks

This question is still up.

@bitg and @lonelime: vB ACP -> PhotoPlog -> Usergroup Manager -> Edit Usergroup -> Go -> PhotoPlog Permissions

@Psionic Vision: try PhotoPlog Lite v.1.0.8.

FYI: PhotoPlog Lite v.1.0.8 released. Animated GIFs show if file dimensions within settings, postbit counts with link possible when viewing thread, couple of small bug fixes. See the README.txt file for instructions.

OK, I uploaded to the newest version and it works just fine now. Except for several things. But 1st I want to say that overall, you have done a great job on this and I love this addition to vbb. Thank you.

1. When looking at the navigation, there is the link that says "The Hiding Place Forums > PhotoPlog". Well, the "PhotoPlog" part links perfectly, but "The Hiding Place" link should link to the forum main page, but it links to the PhotoPlog main page. See http://www.hidingplace.com/photoplog/index.php for an example.
2. This may be related to #1. Although, I have my "Relative Links" and "Absolute Links" pointing at my vbb forum (See https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=902981&postcount=775), all my navbar links all point to the photplog directory.
3. When you are in the photoplog area, the vbb drop-down menus do not work (eg. The "Quick" menu or the "Search" box). Possible dhtml problem?
4. What is the point in having the "PhotoPlog Settings" area in the "vBulletin Options" if we already have that under the "PhotoPlog" menu.
5. Why is there a menu option under the "PhotoPlog" menu for "Change Phrases" if it does not link directly to the photoplog phrases (seems redundant)?
6. Why is there a menu option under the "PhotoPlog" menu for "Usergroup Manager" (seems redundant)?

Ideas?

Just installed this. Very nice man. Hell of a job and many thanks. Install clicked.

@bitg: What you had posted looks fine, but you need to add to it, so for 1,2,3 just look at your HTML source for things not in the settings. Example: href="index.php and src="/vbb350/styles/ and var IMGDIR_MISC = "/vbb350/styles/ etcetera. The settings enable you to add/edit things to fit with your site. While I tried to list all the standard links, there is no way I can account for all custom skins, directory structures, and so forth, so that's up to you. For 4,5,6 it's easier for some people to find things. Regarding 4, the menu link actually goes to vB options, and for 5, phrasetypeid may not be the same for all sites, so a standard link to the phrases is not plausible. You can edit the Photoplog cpnav XML file if you'd like to change the way the side group is laid out.

Thanks everyone for the thanks. :D

(#2)OK, I basically understand and was able to fix my navbar template to refer to all files as "/vbb350/" and that solved the basic navigation issue.

(#1)I have no idea where to begin looking for the "Hiding Place" link to the index.php file.

(#3)The dhtml issues are unique to this mod. They just do not drop down anymore. My menus are in the factory default settings (at least the bottom row is). The drop down menus work fine everywhere else, just not when I goto the photoplog.

These are not big issues. They were more like questions I was curious about.

This mod can reside anywhere, inside or outside the main forum directory, so links need to be absolute in nature. The mod itself is okay, it's just that you need to add to the 'Relative Links' and 'Absolute Links' settings. While you can edit templates to make the links absolute, it is not necessary. After a cursory look at your HTML source, you need to add the following though there could be more:

Relative Links:
Absolute Links:
Your menus are not working because you are using src="/vbb350/clientscript/ in 'Relative Links' but your HTML source has src="clientscript/ instead. If you find a link not working or an image not showing, then look at the HTML source for the relative link and add, line X to line X, to the 'Relative Links' and 'Absolute Links' settings. If you need further help, just visit the main support site and we can carry on in a unique thread.

In vbadvanced pointing the fotothumbs to http://www.MY_DOMAINhttp//www.MY_DOM...le.php?n=3&w=s

It seems that there is a problem with the 'Relative Links' and 'Absolute Links' settings but I have no idea where to change this for vbadvanced.

PimvanJ, just upgrade PhotoPlog vBa CMPS Thumbs (here) as it's now updated for use with PhotoPlog Lite v.1.0.7/8.

I did, works fine now calorie.

Is it somehow possible that comments are being counted as a normal post?

I agree this would be a handy thing.

It would be hard,

example would be like
<img src="image.php?main=IMAGE&watermark=WATERMARK IMAGE">

Hi,
I would like to add a link at this site "photoplog/index.php" in the navbar between "Home" and "Upload".
The link should point the own uploaded files, saying "My Gallery"

The code for the link is as follows:

But where do I put the code?

Check out this image for a better illustration.
http://img134.imageshack.us/img134/8...otoplog5vd.jpg

When myself or my members upload the pictures, it goes fine..
We've attempted to use the IMG BBCode provided to link to the pictures, and its a broken image..

When I got the file properties, I saw this:
http://www.1337cnt.com/photoplog/images/3<b>*%20Agent%20Banksdium/1_untitled.JPG

The 3 after /images/ is the directory the real image is stored in. Agent Banks is the username who posted the picture.

All in all, it seems this is being added when I link to the picture with the given IMG code:

<b>*%20Agent%20Banksdium

Obviously, replace the 'Agent Banks' with the username of the posting member.

Any help is appreciated. ;)

FYI: Bahawolf2's issue is a conflict with the me-mod and is being addressed on the official support site. Thanks. :)

Okay, I'm a little bit confuse here! What do you mean by "Set 777 permissions on the photoplog 'images' directory on your server, as necessary?" Sorry, I'm having trouble understanding this.

It would be great if Users could upload a whole gallery and not just one pic per thread...they should be able to create a new gallery thread with as much as possible pics.

I'm having a problem...

the install was fine, but now when I try to access the photoplog directory, I keep getting the vb login page, and i log in, it says "thanks for logging in" and redirects me back to the login page ....

Any ideas?

I tried to find solutions to my problem in this topic, but it's a 54-page monster... so don't shoot if I missed something ;)

Yesterday I was forced to move my vB forum (along with Photoplog) to another server and redirect my domain. After that Photoplog refuses to work, showing following error:
Yes, I know - it's about wrong path in config.php. But my path is exactly same as before:
Everything is the same as it was on the old serwer - database, catalogue structure, etc. What did I missed? :ermm:
