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!

when i use than the vb navbar to the forum startpage and come back,
i'm logged in. Only after a visit from the forum startpage, i'm logged in.

I think it's a timeout in 15 min or faster, showroom sets no coockies, i don't know.

When visiting showroom directly as guest, I get the following cookies set (see attachment). Does this only happen to you as admin, or is it happening to everyone on your board?

I haved set the permission to 100000Bytes and i test with a file witch is 80000Bytes

Hi Just wondering on the update what to follow.

Currently on 1.0.2.3

Should I follow the 1.0.2.3 to 1.0.3 instructions for a 1.0.2.3 -> 1.0.3.1 or run through both 1.0.2.3 -> 1.0.3 and 1.0.3 -> 1.0.3.1 ?

I like the idea behind this mod and have just one question.

When I install PhotoPlog, can I configure it so that the actual images are hosted on a different server? If so, is the connection done via FTP or HTTP?

Same problem with registered users. I've test it with an new useraccount, click showroom 2x after 30min.

@wrang: the 'bad open' message happens when the PHP fopen() call fails. It's either a permission or ownership issue. Are you running PHP in safe mode by chance?

@nitro: in the v.1.0.4 zip, look about 2/3 the way down the README.txt file to find general upgrade instructions, so you don't have to do all the steps to upgrade.

@The Ottoman: to view, upload, etcetera a user needs permission, which is embedded in bitfields, so while the call is HTTP, PhotoPlog is 'same server' written.

@allstar55: not sure why the issue; what happens if you stick the showroom link directly into your vB navbar, using format like in the second post of this thread?

FYI: PhotoPlog updated to v.1.0.4, guess some new screens are in order. :dead:

I use this:

<a href="http://www.nfs-center.de/showroom/index.php$session[sessionurl_q]" class="alt1Active">Showroom</a>

I have no idea why i'm logged out from showroom after 15-30min.
