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!

@calorie

One more thing ... the style just applies to users logged in, but not to guests/unregistered, is it possible to set it global for all usergroups ?

[calorie]

@Jaynesh: check the FAQ at http://www.boutell.com/gd/faq.html and after editing php.ini remember to do a restart.

@KayDEE: untested but try the adding the bold piece:

if (defined('PHOTOPLOG_FWD'))
{
	$styleid = 1; // or 2 or 3 etc
	$vbulletin->options['styleid'] = $styleid;
}

$photoplog_forumhome is not working.
I have no thumbnails on my forumhome. I did get the Gallery link on the navbar but the Random thumnails will not even appear. I edited the FORUMHOME TEMPLATE as instructed.
Please help.

To see the thumbs, a usergroup needs 'can view files' permission.

Any date on the Pro release? Also, it would be great if we didn't have to re-do phrases. I customized a lot of them. Thanks!

Usergroups are able for viewing, but i still not getting any thumbnails, not even the table for them. Rightnow i have made an HTML table for thumbnail, but is not the form PhotoPlog.

Any ideas why it wont the Thumbnails table show up ? Like I said the $photoplog_forumhome comand is on the Forumhome template.
Thanks

@indie: see post518

@TOZ: not sure if you are allowing guest viewing, but guests cannot currently view, so call admincp/index.php?do=buildbitfields to ensure its occurrence

Got it working !! thanks Calorie. The reason why it was not working is because the files uploaded were awaiting moderation.
Is there a place where you can change that and not have to confirm moderation ?
