Major Additions - PhotoPlog: The Lite Gallery

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!

Okay, mod updated. To upgrade, just FTP the two files indicated in the README.txt file.

================================================== ==========================================
PhotoPlog Lite UPGRADE Installation: FROM 1.0.2 to 1.0.2.1 ONLY!
================================================== ==========================================
1) In the new ZIP archive find /photoplog and FTP in ASCII mode just two
files (settings.php and functions.php) into the photoplog directory on
your server, overwriting the old files - that's it.

When I Upgrade these two files, PhotoPlog don't works anymore for me:surprised:
I get this message:

Not Found

The requested URL /photoplog/index.php was not found on this server.

....and ofcourse index.php is really in this dir :tired:

I found a little bug here, if the usergroup that doesn't have permission to view the image, then in the forumhome it show up like the picture below. So can you make it like, if they don't have permission, so the default picture will show up.

The feed back you requested Calorie

Without the duplicate dir setting having an entry vb style css images suffer double dirs which have to have path from web root
Also the custom navbar link for vbportal home suffers the issue.
Seems most vb links like navbar and popups, contact us links are ok and photoplog links appear fine without.

With the duplicate dir setting in place css images are fixed So far I can only find one bad photoplg link which is the profile link when viewing a picture, but it seems all regular vb links ie navbar links and the links in the contact us area drop all sub dirs from the path. The custom vbportal home link in the navbar is ok with this setting tho.

Still havent worked out how to get vbportals left column to show up but iv not really tried hard yet.

@Robru and @nitro: First upgrade to 1.0.2.2 and then look at your vB Homepage URL and PhotoPlog directory settings.

They might look something like this...

vB Homepage URL            PhotoPlog directory
---------------            -------------------
http://www.example.com     /photoplog

so together they make the link to PhotoPlog

If you happen to have more than just the domain as your vB Homepage URL like...

vB Homepage URL                      PhotoPlog directory
---------------                      -------------------
http://www.example.com/somewhere     /wherever_else/photoplog

ignore the somewhere part, just consider the http://www.domain.com part

so http://www.domain.com with /wherever_else/photoplog links to PhotoPlog

Are things now linking correctly?

@CongTuDepTrai: upgrade to 1.0.2.2 and that should take care of it.

@allstar55: patience please

FYI: mod updated to 1.0.2.2. To upgrade, just import the product indicated in the README.txt file.

Cool! This looks really nice calorie. Looks like this will be the gallery I will be integrating with my forum when you get a comment system integrated and all the bugs are worked out.

*Bookmarked for future use*

@allstar55: patience please

Ohhhhh, how long?

[calorie]

Maybe a couple of days, maybe a couple of weeks, who knows, so the real answer is when I get it done.

Just think, "Good things come to those who wait, good things come to those who wait, good things come to..."

[allstar55]

good things come to...
