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!

Go to vBulletin Options -> Message Posting Interface Options -> Enable Clickable Message Formatting Controls -> set the Full Editor to Disable Controls and try another comment. What do you get?

same thing.
Can I complicate this?
When I post a comment with my test ID (which only is a regular registered user.. no additional groups or such) it still says "not available" but additionally when I edit the comment the comments I typed are still there.

I havent' edited any templates for this (they're all stock standard with the install) and I haven't added any of the other things people have put out for this either.

I know.. I wanted to see if something botched or whatnot. I haven't really had much use out of it aside from tests from a few users and whatnot. So i'm not worried about losing data right now from unstalling-installing. I'm a good tester and good at breaking things.

In PhotoPlog's index.php find:

					$photoplog_rate_comment = photoplog_process_text($photoplog_rate_comment, $photoplog_catid, false, false);

And temporarily replace with:

echo htmlspecialchars_uni($photoplog_rate_comment)."<br /><br />";
					$photoplog_rate_comment = photoplog_process_text($photoplog_rate_comment, $photoplog_catid, false, false);
echo htmlspecialchars_uni($photoplog_rate_comment)."<br /><br />";

What do you see onscreen when you refresh a page with comments?

Ok screenshots.. text at the top of the page now. Has the actual comments for the 3 that i've left and the "not available" thing too

Okay, found it. Go to vBulletin Options -> Message Posting and Editing Options -> Maximum Characters Per Post -> set to a large positive number instead of zero. That'll take care of it for now. Will update the mod later tonight.

Groovy. I'm glad that worked (and surprised no one else here caught that.. I guess i"m the only one that lets users type full length stories in their posts .. heh)

Thanks.. restored my index file and all is well. Now time to head out with the GF

1. My maximum characters per post is at 10,000 and I still get "not available" when I start with BBcode.

2. How can I show a different header for this mod? When users go to this page I want the header to change. How would I call a second header and where would I pu that code? If you can help, thanks.

@lordnex: okay, upgrade to v.1.0.5.1 and that should do away with postmaxchars equals lastthreadchars equals zero related issues. Upgrade instructions, some quick FTPing is all, are in the new zip file.

@indie: see post428, do you see text with a smaller BBcode description? The fetch_template('header') call can be found in photoplog_output_error and photoplog_output_page of PhotoPlog's functions.php file.

[indie]

It says Not Available...

I want it to show at least part of that description.

Thanks!
