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!

G'day,

I know this isn't the support section anymore, but I'm not really chasing support, just curious about somethings.

Does it auto-rezsize member's images?

Also, because of the whole uploading images thing (and the maybe resizing images), how server intensive is it please?

If anyone can offer some feedback I would apprecite it very much.

Thanks

Reggie

I just installed this mod to the T.

The functionality is perfect. The problem is all my style images are broken. Such as the images that make up my navbar and header.

Main forum index page = http://www.gatorenvy.com/forums/index.php
See here in IE. http://www.gatorenvy.com/forums/photoplog/index.php
In FF it just shows up blank.

Some of the images are pointing to http:///forums/images/styles/gator/misc/logside.jpg
why are there /// ?

Does anyone know how I can fix this problem?

[cobaltcoupe]

Can someone help me install this? I'm new to this and the readme is a little hard for me to get. Please help me out.

hi coobaltcoupe

it's very easy to install this
firstable you've got to open the config.php file inside the Photplog folder, this is the path: PhotoPlog_2.0.6/photoplog/config.php
you must insert in this file the full path of Forum rooth folder on your site: it should be something like this:

'/home/-------/public_html/forum'

where ----- is the username you use to access to your site.

then you must upload via ftp all the files included the following 2 folders:

- upload the folder "photoplog" as it is in the root folder of YOUR FORUM
- upload all the files inside the "forum" folder (of this mod) in the Forum subdirectories (of your server). for example, in the "forum" folder inside the zip file of this mod you find the "admincp" folder. it means that you must upload all the files inside that folder to the "admincp" folder of your Forum folder

after that you must Set 777 permissions on the photoplog 'images' directory (path: forum/photoplog/images) on your server, as necessary.

then in the "products" folder of this mod you should find (obviously in the vB3.6 sub-folder)
the photoplog-products.xml file. you must upload this file from your admin panel. just go in --->plugins and product--->manage products-----> click add/import product and upload this file.

eventually refresh your admin panel index page and you should find the Photoplog menu.

that's all

hope this will be useful for you

[cobaltcoupe]

Ok thank you. It's installed. Now how do i find the link to it, and how to I install a navbar link for it also. Here is my site ....

www.cobaltcoupe.net

[daddygrim]

commenting using Enhanced (WYSIWYG) Editor Toolbar will not allow you to post cmments..why is that? I have to change it to Standard Editor Toolbar in order to post a comment.

[pollon]

firstable you must enable the gallery an set it's permission in the menu on your admin cp.

you should find your Photoplog gallery here: http://www.cobaltcoupe.net/forums/photoplog/index.php

I've just checked but it gives me an error page. very probably you have put the wrong path in the config file. your Forum rooth folder is named "forums" (I've just cheked) so you must put in the config file
'/home/-------/public_html/forums'
edit this file and reupload it on the right folder

when you will fix this you will be able to see your gallery


in order to add a link to the navbar you must go in your admin panel, to the "navbar" template: so, in your admin panel just click Style Templates---->Style Manager-----> click on the icon near the red arrow of this image:



then click in the icon near the red arrow of the following image:



between the template listed on the left you should find the "navbar" template. click on it.



then insert the following code in the window near "searching template" (arrow number 1) and then
click on the "find" button (arrow number 2):




so, in this template find the red code:
