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!

@indie: post2 has been updated to show how to do those links.

@Aaron RV: oh good, glad it's now working. Two birds, one stone.

@aggiefan: not sure, ATM am taking a code break, save for bugs.

Not exactly clear what the future holds, lite versus pro and all that, but will stick requests and suggestions on a think-about, might-do list.

ATM just taking a break...

I installed this as best as I could understand your readme, so I must have misinterpreted something, because when I view the /photoplog directory in my browser, I get a blank page. The Photoplog group in AdminCP is there and works fine, so I imagine I installed it correctly... well, the /forum directory, anyway.

Any ideas?

What is your PhotoPlog directory setting?

Quick question - how can we make the description input box bigger, in post and edit mode, thanks!

PhotoPlog templates: photoplog_upload_form, photoplog_edit_form: cols="40" rows="6"

Is there a way to only make it show if they have images? Or bold if they do?
And, you deserve a break -- thanks.

Not without coding something up, maybe storing count in the user table. What you might do instead is make a custom yes/no profile field, and only show the link if the user selects yes.

Unfortunately I'm not skilled enough. Perhaps someone could take it on. I think the best way would be a number (of images) next to Gallery. Like, Gallery(0) .. Gallery(8), that would be nice!

My photoplog directory is CHMOD'd 755, and is located in a similar path to this example:

http://www.mysite.com/photoplog

and my forums are located at http://www.mysite.com/forums. Is that correctly placed, or should I have uploaded my photoplog directory into my forums directory, or what? Thanks for paying attention calorie!

PhotoPlog does not need to be within your forums direcotry. If http://www.mysite.com/photoplog/index.php is the web address, then the PhotoPlog Directory setting in the ACP should be: /photoplog
