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!

This mod looks great and I am thinking about integrating it into my forum (possibly the Pro version). We currently have a 'photo album' thread that has the pictures of all of our users and I am looking for an easier way to maintain this (all the images are currently in the first post with captions/ect).

I want a gallery that is associated with one thread - I don't want each image to be commented on seperately (more like the way we have it now). Is this possible with the lite or pro version? Anyone try this before?

Hi,

I changed

Admincp-->Photolog-->Modify Settings-->Absolute Links
All www.domain.com/xxxx.php to -->www.domain.com/forum/xxxx.php i changed

Photolog confing.php i edit

I have changed the photolog directory from www.domain.com/photolog to ---> www.domain.com/forum/photolog but we can not see the photos. What could be the error?

Thanks for sharing your program with us, it looks like a great hack.

I've probablly sat for 3 hours reading this thread and trying to figure out what my absolute path is. I checked my vBConfig file which has this information. Using this information to get this going is not working. I have tried various combinations of possible other absolute paths LOL and trying various extentions and nothing. I have varied the information in the Admincp as well to ensure they match and nothing.
My direct path is supposed to /home/xxxxxx/public_html/forums .???

This is the error I receive...Warning: chdir(): No such file or directory (errno 2) in /home/xxxxxx/public_html/forums/photoplog/settings.php on line 92

Warning: main(./global.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/xxxxxx/public_html/forums/photoplog/settings.php on line 93

Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required './global.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/xxxxxxx/public_html/forums/photoplog/settings.php on line 93

I realize this is telling me that the direct path is not correct. I've ran out of options and not sure what to do next. Safe Mode is Off with PHP.

Oh, this tiny script to run in my direct forums directory. Stupid question maybe, but how do I do this? *consider me a newbie with this paticular excercise*

Anyones help would be greatly appreciated .

Any ideas please?

Okay, I installed this yesterday, had a few bugs that I worked out from reading through this thread and all seemed well. I logged out and came back a bit later, went into the forum, then to the gallery. The forum shows me logged in, the gallery doesn't. I tried the "yoursite.com/forums/admincp/index.php?do=buildbitfields", but it stays the same, showing me logged out in the gallery. I checked everything I could think of, no difference. Any ideas?

*****Updated 7-28-06
I resolved it and the gallery works perfectly. Thanks for a great mod.

I have a problem with the images of my skin.
The script sets automatically this url: "http://www.mysite.com/photoplog/myskin/misc/image.jpg" but the correct url should be "http://www.mysite.com/myskin/eccetraeccetra"

What can I do?

[project-Buckfas]

Works a treat thanks

[hammondfra]

I have a small issue, when I goto photoplog in my forum it look great. Now if you try to use the nav bar while in photplog, it gives you an address like this

this is an example
www.yoursite.com/forums/photplog/forums.php

when the link should reflect
www.yoursite.com/forums

What did I do wrong? All the links work correctly in any other part of the forum, just not in photoplogs navbar..thanks for the help in advance.

Basically the same issue that Juvefan is having.

I'm having a small problem with my installation. Everything works fine, but whenever I'm viewing my forum home it says I'm viewing one of the random thumbs (I have the random thumbs bar included on my forum home). How can I fix this? My site is located at talkbudgies.com.

run this version under vb 3.6 gold ?
