TC - Photo Of The Day (Photoplog)
 

Info:
This mod has been tested on PhotoPlog: The Lite Gallery and 0ptima's hack vbGallery Addon: Photo of the Day. I have converted that hack into a product and to a file upload. Settings are now in the admin area under vbulletin options.

If you use vbGallery Addon: Photo of the Day and like something like this with the settings and such I was thinking about making one but as I don't use vbGallery I have no need but will if others are interested. Just let me know.

• vBulletin 3.7.0 Beta 3
• Photoplog Lite or Photoplog Pro

Features:

• On/Off Enable or Disable Mod
• On/Off Close Thread After Post
• Ability To Add Default Title To Post
• Forum Selector
• Ability To Choose Who Posted
• Ability To Choose What Category The Images Come From

• Lite & Pro Version Automatic Dectection
• Choose size of image in post

Coming Soon:

• Ability To Choose New Thread Or Reply To Current Thread (May be delayed having issues with figuring datamanager for posting to a thread)
• Choose Thread ID (Delayed as part of feature above)

Installation:

• Import XML File (As A Product): AdminCP > Plugin System > Manage Products > [Add/Import Product]
• Upload tc_potd.php into the cron dir

Notes:

• This is my first hack and new to php & mysql and there is a good chance there are bugs that need to be fixed. I would appreciate any input on how to clean code up and so on and even get someone to help code more options.

niceeeeeee is it just me or the site demo is not workin

Well for some reason the .com domain has been acting up. I haven't been able to determine why it goes out from time to time as all my other domains seem to work on that same server and all my domains I go through enom so not sure if it is dns or what I have that domain registered as a .org and .net as I got those later on and havent made it so you can browse fully using those as it calls for most images by the .com domain so if the .com is not working there are going to be broken images.
*After I posted this I went and checked the site out and it is up and running using the .com domain and I changed the url for live to point directly to the forum itself.

You using pro? This should automatically set a cron to run once a day and submits a new thread then with a pic. If there is no picture to be posted nothing should post. I plan on having an option to have a post say no new pictures to pick a potd from.

i installed v1.0.2 . thx TCooper

Nice :) Thanks a lot ;)

thanks alot. first time releasing anything and new to coding but vbulletin makes it lot easier it seems. Feedback and suggestions are welcome and will try to support this as much as possible.

what error do u get? I reuploaded the zip file as i may have uploaded the wrong one.

I have now bought and tried the pro version and it appears to have worked correctly. Remember if you have any issues please give details other than you have had an error. Please tell me when you encountered the error and what the error said if anything was said. To see if this works without waiting for a day to go by, I would suggest to go to your Admincp->Scheduled Tasks->Scheduled Task Manager and find TC - Photo Of The Day (Photoplog) and click run task.

the demo's url doesn't work ... :(

It should be up now as I was working on it for a few afterwards.

I istalled it and it worked on 1 post,
then I get

and the forum is set

I have not made all error messages appear what is actually happening but my guess is either invalid userid, or no more images are available for potd. if all images have been used for potd then it will throw an error I plan on integrating a feature to make it post a new thread saying there were no new pics for the potd. But either way check to see if you have anymore pics available for potd if you need help you can contact me to login and check if need be.

Then that would be the problem...........

I am testing it on my pc and only have 1 pic.....

will try more pics :rolleyes:

Ok let me know how it goes. Don't forget to hit install and I just made a new update lastnight. It makes a new thread like before but stating no more pics that match the criteria could be found or what ever. Will see about phrases here shortly for the posts and such.

Ok i am now getting a red cross

there seems to be a // in the addreass for the image

Was it in the new updated version? Where was the extra / as I don't see it on my board, if needed pm a link to see it or which ever is easier for you.

thanks

you are very welcome.

my image doesn't show up

Want to pm me the site so i can see whats up?

What version of vb and photoplog are you using? Where did you see that error?

No prob. dont forget to hit install ;)

hello!

some help?

regards
macc

i do not know what is the problem but it is not creating new thread. uploaded new photo but still waiting to crate a new thread :S

Feature request:

do you plan to add tags for thread?

can i store images in another subdomain / host ?
like : images.mydomain.com

You should be able to do so.

I will look into it and see what is involved for you.

What versions of vb are you using?

great job!!

Official request for teh VBADVANCED GALLERY of this !!!
:D :D

So how is the POTD determined? Solely on views?

demo doesn't work? :(

Stupid question- i installed and no photo has been uploaded to forum! How long does it take for first photo to be uploaded a full day or what??

I TRIED TO UNINSTALL

WHY?

Great addon but I have one question. Is there any reason why when new threads get created by this addon, they end up in the moderation queue? The account that is creating the threads has the follow forum permissions set to yes for that forum, so I'm kind of at a loss. I don't know what's causing it.

Thanks in advance,
Jim
