Major Features

Multiple Instances You can run an unlimited number instances of the gallery on the same forum with same set of files! Each instance can have a different look and feel to it, and with enough work can have a completely different function because of the system we built it on.

AJAX integration We used AJAX wherever we could to help reduce the page reloads

Automatic resizing and thumbnail creation As long as your server can handle it, the users can upload whatever size pictures they want. The gallery will control the size displayed and stored, and will even create a thumbnail, all automatically. Users no longer have to worry about resizing their images to fit what your forum specifies. If you do not have a server with the power to resize images (GD image library can get pretty memory intensive) then you can set the gallery to reject images that do not fit into your size criteria.

User Albums Users can create their own image albums to organize and display sets of their images. Albums can also be set to hidden and/or password protected. So users who want to have images for only certain friends or not visible to anyone else at all can easily organize them.

Yes, I changed the code so it wouldn't break the gallery if you have a missing image. Now you can navigate past it, but it's still there so you can see that it needs to get fixed.

I've just been spending the past few hours trying to figure out why my server was suddenly using 4.5GB of HTTP bandwidth a day.
Turns out that a bot had registered and instigated uploads to the gallery. Because the default upload image size is set to unlimited it left me with a rather nasty loss of bandwidth.
Further more I cannot see a way to adjust the bandwidth to lower it to a more reasonable upload size.
Could this be sorted in the next release please?

I'm sorry about the problems
Putting a per image size limit wouldn't really work. PHP is server side and it would need to upload the file to check the size, which would use the bandwidth regardless.
The only thing I can think of doing is adding a per usergroup bandwidth limit per day/week. Once they hit the limit they wouldn't get the option to upload anymore. I'll see what I can do about getting that in the next version.

I'm working on a slider type block as an option for the forumhome to use instead of the static gallery images. It should be ready for the next version.

Dylan

Hi Dylan,

Did you ever get around to working this out? Thanks!
