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!

well i use 1.0.2.2

not the old one

[CongTuDepTrai]

ok well done, thanks calorie

one more question

before i install "PhotoPlog 1.0.0 PhotoPlog: Uninstall" and "PhotoPlog 1.0.0 PhotoPlog: Install"

do i have to keep them or just remove it?

[calorie]

With 1.0.2+ when you go to ACP -> Plugin System -> Manage Products, the only PhotoPlog product in the list should be PhotoPlog: The Lite Gallery. Recycle bin all earlier ZIP archives. Only follow the README.txt in the current ZIP archive here.

Ok here is my Site with your Script:
http://www.nfs-center.de/showroom/index.php

How can i remove the File List on the index Page?
Newest Pics on the header is enough.

[calorie]

The thumbs at the top are random in order, not always the newest, but if you want to be rid of the file list on home, which does order newest first, just edit the PhotoPlog file list template, sticking the following condition around the last table in that template:

<if condition="empty($photoplog_random_bits)">

</if>

Cant see any real change for the links in 1.02.2 m8

Settings are as:
Homepage http://www.domain.com <- this is how it allways has been
Forum url http://www.domain.com/portal/forums

the photoplog dir is inside /portal not /portal/forums maybe it would be better if it was a subdir of the forums ? or maybe it would be better if photoplog dir was also in the root like the portal ?

Photoplog dir setting has /portal/photoplog

Without the duplicate dir having an entry css images duplicate what I would have in the setting: /portal/forums
With it having one the css is fine but the navbar and most links from vb templates are without any subdir for instance the usercp navbar link = http://www.domain.com/usercp.php
I can only see one photoplog link suffering the same as this and thats the users "profile" link when veiwing an image in the "posted by" entry the "gallery" link next to the profile link there is correct.

I'll tray the upgrade and let you now.

Nice, it works
And how can i make the random pictures to newest?

[QUOTE=calorie]@Robru and @nitro: First upgrade to 1.0.2.2 and then look at your vB Homepage URL and PhotoPlog directory settings.

They might look something like this...

vB Homepage URL            PhotoPlog directory
---------------            -------------------
http://www.example.com     /photoplog

so together they make the link to PhotoPlog

If you happen to have more than just the domain as your vB Homepage URL like...

vB Homepage URL                      PhotoPlog directory
---------------                      -------------------
http://www.example.com/somewhere     /wherever_else/photoplog

ignore the somewhere part, just consider the http://www.domain.com part

so http://www.domain.com with /wherever_else/photoplog links to PhotoPlog

Are things now linking correctly?
Sorry Calorie,

The path was: http://www.domain.com/forum/photoplog(index.php) with v1.0.2, that works good for me!
and with v1.0.2.1 and v1.0.2.2 the path is now?: http://www.domain.com/photoplog This path don't works for me!
