@tuanluu: PhotoPlog Lite does not have e-card capabilities.

@optrex: The down arrow next to search in the navbar comes from JavaScript:

img.src = IMGDIR_MISC + '/menu_open.gif';

In the PhotoPlog 'Relative Links' setting there is the following:

var IMGDIR_MISC = "images/

And in the PhotoPlog 'Absolute Links' setting there is the following:

var IMGDIR_MISC = "http://www.photoplog.com/forum/images/

Where you can set the absolute link to your menu_open.gif directory.


To the people who follow the PhotoPlog license, a B I G THANK YOU!

TWIMC: It is against the PhotoPlog license to redistribute my code!

Thanks for replying but still no joy

@bitg: check here and when linking, check for consistent use, or non use, of www or subdomains as it could be a cookie issue.

@funinthesun: 'bad open' only happens when PhotoPlog cannot perform fopen so it's probably a permissions or ownership issue.

Is this the way it should be?

[calorie]

Yep, looks just fine. Check whether you are linking to PhotoPlog with or without the www because if you are logged into http://hidingplace.com/vbb350/ (no www) but then go to http://www.hidingplace.com/photoplog/ (with www) or visa versa, that could ask for another login. Also check that the 'can view files' usergroup permission is set to yes for those usergroups who are allowed to view files.

EDIT: Fixed :nervous: I realised that I had the upload directory set to photoplog/images instead of just images. Doh! Thanks

[imported_predatorkill]

Hi guys!!!! Great hack!!!

One question:

Is there a way so i can upload the pictures into an other host account??
My currently host account has 400MB space and i use 70% of it.If users starts uploading the pictures,in one week the disk quota will be full!!!

Thanks in advance!

Actually, I am linking to photoplog with the following code in my navbar template:

<a href="/photoplog/index.php$session[sessionurl_q]">Photo Gallery</a>

I am not sure what you mean here. I see nothing in the usergroup that makes any references to "files" or "photoplog".
