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!

Where in these templates is the best place to add the above?

Thanks

Thanks for the great work on this addon.

In this Lite version, is there any way to set upload permissions for a specific category based on user groups? As far as I can tell, the existing permissions settings apply across all Photoplog categories.

I would like to make one category that has uploading permissions restricted to a certain usergroup. All other categories would be open to all usergroups.

Is there a file edit or database entry I can make to set restrict uploads for one specific existing category?

If not, is there a simple way to hide the restricted category from all groups but one with a conditional in the category pulldown options on the upload page?

@ConKien: http://www.domain.com/forum is prepended to relative links, after removing any dupe dir, but if this makes an incorrect link, try setting the absolute link. The $navbar is set in functions.php and uses the vB navbar.

@furst: in settings.php you could try and set $photoplog_location to whatever link you'd like.

@Jaynesh: guests need 'can view files' permissions, try: admincp/index.php?do=buildbitfields

@lasor: place the anchor tags wherever you'd like the links to appear.

@BlasterT3: check the PhotoPlog permissions in the usergroup manager.

@harry1951: check that the config file full path to forum setting is correct.

@Marris: the lite version doesn't have category based permission levels. The photoplog_list_categories function makes the category list if you want to try and edit there.

I poked around there a bit without getting too far, then I came up with a quick and dirty solution.

I edited photoplog_upload_form and photoplog_edit_form templates:

// replaced 
$photoplog_select_row

// with:

<if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo, 12)">
$photoplog_select_row
<else />
<tr valign="top">
	<td class="alt2">Category</td>
	<td class="alt2"><select name="userfileinfo[catid]" id="sel_userfileinfo[catid]" tabindex="1" class="">
		<option value="1" selected="selected"> General </option>
</select>
</td>
</tr>
</if>

This makes it so only members of usergroup 12 will be able to upload to all categories, while all other members will only be able to upload to 'General' (category 1). Of course, you can add more groups and category options.

[*] Onscreen Error

Sorry, UserName: Bad Open

It means that PhotoPlog cannot fopen the 'images' directory. Check for 777, write and ownership permissions on the 'images' directory.

The full path in the config file is set correctly.
