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!

K a final update Q is the vb 3.5.2 a more specific requirement now or was it allways like that but should be ok in 3.5.0 upwards.

And as I am sure others are wondering aswell as myself but is this product leading upto a final as is supported Lite product, where by there will be also a pro version that isnt freely available ? I ask because at the rate it is currently going its awsome and I am thinking of discussing with my site a donation, wont be huge as we are just a hobby site with not a lot of action really, but it would be a little something towards the inspiration, but if theres an impending pro at a reasonable price then more would need looking @ before making a funds decision.

Any chance that you will add a changelog to the file and/or to the thread?

Bugs/Problems:

1) the # is missing in the letter bar
2) If you click on a letter which contains no data you get "Not Available" but the colspan is missing 2 tables

Questions:
1) Would it be possible to rate pictures without writing a comment?

[allstar55]

I must change the cat_bit on the top:

<td class="alt1" width="100%">
to:
<td class="alt1" width="50%">

It was to wide. Please change the code in the next version.

And please set max. types in upload title an comment.
When useres type a lot of, file list information looks bad.

What is the big difference between 1.0.3 and 1.0.4 ?

Ok, I guess I'll just have to wait until you "divide up the queries"...

Thanks for the effort!

While I'm waiting, is there someplace where I can download the 1.0.3 version?

@nitro: continued development is based on having vB 3.5.2. vB 3.5.1 and 3.5.0 may be okay too, but not personally tested. Regrading pro versus lite, I've been pondering the question but don't have a good answer. My short term goal, time permitting, is to get the remaining features in PhotoPlog for which there are ACP options. My long term goal is not well-defined, though I understand the donation dilemma. Maybe a way to handle that is to offset price based on donation amount, should a pro version be released, though that might be trouble if donation amount is more than price.

@StarBuG: a small changelog has been added to the release post. Next release should get the Bugs/Problems you list. Right now rate/comment are one, maybe they should be two, will think more on this.

@allstar55: lol, wide box. In PhotoPlog's functions.php file look for $max_len = 5000; and set to a lower number to truncate descriptions on file list.

@mikelbeck: 1.0.3 is out, 1.0.4 is in, but sorry for the wait, it shouldn't be too much longer.

Ok, I'll wait then. Thanks!

Well updated to 1.0.4 in vb 3.5.0 and seems like all is good

I still cannot get vbportal left column and the quick link switcher for the portal left column to display. Iv tried adding the extra globals in both places now and nothing, the Quick links doesnt even get the slightly visible empty table at the bottom that would normally have the on/off link like it did in the arcade.

Any other ideas on this ?

Aside from that as usual great stuff, ratings and comments work, tho I agree with what someone else I think said earlier, users should be able to rate without commenting.

Do you plan to add the WOL?
Would be cool
