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 JPG thumbs are made, the PhotoPlog JPG Thumb Quality setting is used.

When images are then called for display in PhotoPlog's file.php file, the following is used to avoid double reduction:

@imagejpeg($photoplog_img_feed,'',100);

However, if you want, in PhotoPlog's file.php file, you can change the above line to the following to use the setting:

@imagejpeg($photoplog_img_feed,'',$vbulletin->options['photoplog_jpg_quality']);

Thanks for the thanks everyone.

@wrang: save the following as phpinfo.php and call it from your browser. It'll print out a bunch of PHP related stuff, search for safe_mode on the page.

<?php

phpinfo();

?>

@Mike_K and @allstar55: decided to do lite and pro, was working on some pro stuff earlier today.

That makes me a sad panda.
I don't have money to donate .. although this is a fantastic project and actually is one of the better projects VBorg has had come out lately. Keep the price low and I might scrape up some money to help out..

Local Value - OFF
Master Value - OFF

	$do_html = false;
	$do_smilies = false;
	$do_bbcode = false;
	$do_imgcode = false;
	$do_parseurl = false;
	$do_comments = false;
	$do_ratings = false;

You can set the defaults to whatever, true or false, for the 'No one / Not available' category.

Just out of curiousity, after looking over my functions.php file I don't really have an idea what to edit to set a default category. Help?
