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!

I have added the Random pics to my forum home right below the navbar per the readme. The title bar however has no description. Is there a way to add text to this title bar like " random photos from the gallery?

thanks for a great free gallery

@JAYEMULE: what are your settings for these:
vB Homepage URL
vB Forum URL
PhotoPlog Directory
Duplicate Directory

Cakorie, I will have to go look and check those settings and get back to you.

OK This is just a test site I have to try installing things before I put them on my active board.
VB Forum URL is www.mydomain.com/forum
Photoplog directory is www.mydomain.com/forum/photoplog
Duplicate Directory - didn't set one up, it didn't look like I needed one.

Thanks for your help. I am sure the mistake has to be on my end.

updated to 1.0.5 i am also waiting for a quick search .
Things i am waiting :
- Original dimensions of the image
- Java autoresize popup to open original image
- Fast import from a folder where i will have upload the files
- Better look for subcategories maybe align in columns ?
- Stats in index (total images , total categories , total views , total commets)
- The pagination must be also in botton as it is in the top of the file list

I have said it before i will say it again PhtoPlog is the best free standalone image gallery that exists for vbulletin 3.5.x . Thank you calorie for your work

Is there a main template that is a shell for the content? I have a custom style, and it's all messed up. When this happened with vbA custom templates, I fixed by not using tables, but just TR and TD. However, it's not working with the templates I'm editing.

Cool out of beta now eh

@Calorie The forumhome thumbs plugin moving that to global_start hook as you said, to be able to use the variable in other vb product templates like a cms is there any photoplog globals that would also need adding ?

[calorie]

@indie: try changing your skin's background attributes to inline style like so:

<!-- example -->

<!-- from --> <td background="images/misc/foobar.gif">

<!-- to --> <td style="background-image: url(images/misc/foobar.gif);">

@nitro: if you change the hook to global_start, then the thumbs variable set in the plugin should be available for use in vB templates. Can't say whether this translates to the CMS you are using and its templates.
