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:

• 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!

It's probably the absolute links function doubling up the paths. What is the relative path in the HTML source to your logo on a non PhotoPlog page, and what is your vB options bburl set to? Not yet sure about that other page load problem: the require vB global.php is made, but it doesn't seem to return.

Calorie rocks!!

Works great...again thanks for everything

Logo path for the style I was in is <img src="/portal-35x/forums/images/misc/vbPortal_logo_white.gif"

Title image path is set to /portal-35x/forums/images/misc/vbPortal_logo_white.gif in vb css, has to be this way so the title image displays in vbportal pages aswell as forum pages, same as all other css image paths for the various buttons icons etc, require the full webpath there.

forums url in adminCP is http://192.168.xxx.xxx/portal-35x/forums

For now, in the absolute links function, set the following right near the top of the function to hardcode in what it needs for your setup.

$src_link = "http://192.168.xxx.xxx";

Heh ooops:

Sorry Calorie I think I had better start again, I had the IP set 1 digit out in bburl which really was not helping, was still set to the old range I used to use and then I switched sometime ago as it happens.

Ok portal-35x is my portal dir and I have placed photplog dir here, if I set in admincp photoplog settings /portal-35x/photoplog the links in photoplog have a double up of the portal-35x dir ie /portal-35x/portal-35x/photoplog. Setting that setting to just /photoplog and the links are dandy.

Placing your fix as the top line inside that function would appear to have repaired the style image paths what I have seen so far.

Meaning I'm really down to a single problem now which is when uploading a pic I get Sorry Nitro bad file. Does this use vb image file size restrictions as I have changed the photoplog large thumb to cater for the images width/height. I will backtrack thru the thread as I know this has come up before, but my photoplog/images dir is definately world writeable.

Scrap that photoplog file size perms are in usergroup permissions.

Seem to be looking all good. I shall test some more over the next days

Calorie, changed the link to french language please (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....03&postcount=2)

the new link: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=130

[wii]

Any idea when this is out of beta ?

Looks really good.

[zsmom]

Working great for me, thanks!

Just one thing I noticed -- when I use the supplied bbcode under the photos in PhotoPlog in a post elsewhere on the board, it only shows the thumbnail, not the full size picture. Is this something with PhotoPlog or maybe just my settings? (I've checked them and don't see an obvious problem...)

Thanks!

I still keep getting Sorry ... : Bad Open...

Its not the permissions and its not Safe Mode....what can i be???

[calorie]

@nitro: glad you having it working. I might add an option to specifiy path to remove double path cases.

@Allan: post2 is the original stuff, nothing there for the current version. Next version I'll rearrange stuff.

@wii: not until I get the add-ons like the attached working for the current beta version.

@zsmom: see this attachment: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachmen...chmentid=38510

@Lamby1973: that 'bad open' message only happens when the following in edit or upload fails.

$photoplog_handle = @fopen($photoplog_directory_name."/index.html","w")

// try taking off the @ to see what error message PHP gives
