PhotoPlog: The Lite Gallery

PhotoPlog Lite is a gallery script for GIF, JPG, and PNG images. PhotoPlog Lite comes with categories, permissions, comments, search, moderation. The installation takes care of phrases, templates, tables, etcetera. Just follow the README.txt file for installation.

There is a license agreement that I request that you abide. Thanks!

This thread is organized as follows:

• Post1 contains this here release.
• Post2 contains current add-ons.
• Post3 contains onscreen errors.

Fine Print: see license agreement, no redistribution, copyright retained in full, right reserved to uncheck support box.

Requirements: vB 3.5.0+ (development initially based on having vB 3.5.4 though vB 3.6.0+ and vB 3.7.0+ should be okay, but not every version was personally tested) and MySQL 4.1+ (development based on having MySQL 4.1+ though MySQL 3+ may be okay, but not every version was personally tested) and PHP with GD2 and Safe Mode off

Does it work on vB 3.5 and vB 3.6 and vB 3.7? Yes, it should. See the requirements. Also, there are two product XML files, one for vB 3.5 and one for vB 3.6/3.7, so import the one that matches your vB version.

Live Demo and Official Support: http://www.photoplog.com/

Note on Official Support: With 70 some pages, assuming 15 posts per page, and over 1000 posts, all in one thread, official support for this mod is now held off-site. Apologies in advance for possibly having to register at yet another forum, but IMHO support would be better served elsewhere at this point.

All support requests, except perhaps for proven bugs, may be ignored if posted in this thread.

Comments, suggestions, etcetera are welcome, but please note that further modifications are not being planned, as this is intended as the final release of the lite series.

Fun Fact: PhotoPlog Lite v.2.0.6 had 4330 downloads plus 2262 downloads prior to CSRF protection plus 3031 downloads as of 06 Nov 2010!

Hello Guys,

I installed tha´e Hack and there were no bigger Problems.

Now i get the Following Error:

Sorry, Andre: Bad Type - File is of the Wrong MIME Type

The rights on the folders are OK! I tried different Picturetypes but the result is always the same.

With the Boardsearch i found some people who had the same Problem, but there was never an Answer...

Any hints?

Best Regards...Andre

Has anyone developed a way of watermarking images automatically when a user uploads them in the photoplog gallery?
I would desperately like to see this so people don't steal images from my site.
Thanks.

Hello, I have installed this and everything seems fine, but is there a way to upload massive amounts of images at one time without having to upload manually? I use a gallery now but would rather us this.

Just have a quick look at the file types you are uploading. I recently had the same problem and it turned out the problem was that my files ended in .jpeg, I removed the e to make it .jpg and problem solved, everything uploaded fine.

This is a great add-on ,but unfortunatly i have a problem.

My site is using safe mode, i can change the folder Image so it can write to that folder however the script is creating subfolders for each user.
Is there anyway to change the code so it stores the files in the map Images and not in subfolders of images?

Cheers
Lynn

nvm i found the answer

Safe mode being off has always been a requirement. It's just listed again with the other requirements. IMHO if anyone wants a gallery, storing files in a database or restricted directory isn't the way to go, as it's too much overhead or lacks flexibility. Personally speaking, I don't think PHP not in safe mode was the problem with your server being hacked. It's more likely that it was due to a bad script or old version of something or other. PhotoPlog needs safe mode off to process files. If you take a run through the code, it is unlikely, though not impossible as I'm not perfect, that you will find a tainted variable. If you have mod_rewrite abilities, this has always been a gem to stick in an htaccess file:

I *think* it's in the Settings.php in your Photoplog directory.
