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!

The updates are fantastically easy. upload the contents, run the product import and done. As long as we don't get burned by missing an update or two, this is fantastic.

Best support of a lot of hacks released. Good work dude!

FYI: PhotoPlog 1.0.4.1 released: divided queries, template changes, pound in letter bar, who's online, not sure what the future holds. See the README.txt in the new ZIP archive for upgrade instructions.

Well thing is thats exactly where these variables are called, is in the navbar and footer templates.

It does however call the portal home link in the navbar which uses an custom variable. I am going to hazard a guess @ maybe photplog is struggling with custom conditionals with some thing like <if condition="$show['leftcolumn']">$forumsideblocks</if>

I may also be cocking my leg up the wrong tree entirely

Hello, have other users the same problem ?

@mikelbeck: fixed in 1.0.4.3, but you'll need to look at the photoplog_ratecomment table via say phpMyAdmin and delete any row for which there is no longer a file.

@allstar55: upgrade to 1.0.4.3 to take care of the HTML issues, hopefully, and you need vB canadminforums permission to see thumbs in moderation queue.

@lordnex: try reverting the PhotoPlog templates, if you made any changes, FTPing all the PHP files in the 1.0.4.3 ZIP /photoplog directory except config.php, over writing the old files, and then doing another product import, allowing overwrite.

@nitro: right before <if condition="$show['leftcolumn']">$forumsideblocks</if> appears in the template, add the following like so:

<!-- to see what the variables contain -->
<br />
XXXXX $show[leftcolumn] XXXXX
<br />
YYYYY $forumsideblocks YYYYY
<br />

<if condition="$show['leftcolumn']">$forumsideblocks</if>

What is vB canadminforums permission?
Ohh i have updated to 1.0.4.3, same problem

I'am the admin, and i updatet every version, templates are standart.
But at the moment we can't upload, empty files.

If you can access the vB Forum Manager, you have vB canadminforums permission. Look at the HTML souce of the ACP PhotoPlog Moderate Files page. What do you see where the thumbs should be?

Please see the Screenshots:

What must i make?

[calorie]

1) Revert the PhotoPlog template, the one in red, 2) FTP all the PHP files in the 1.0.4.3 ZIP /photoplog directory except config.php, overwriting the old files, and 3) then do another product-photoplog.xml product import, do not uninstall, do allow overwrite.

++++, i have made it. No chance ;(
No pictures to see after upload.

Please give me the 1.0.4.1 to test it.

The 1.0.4.1 is out, 1.0.4.3 is in, but I wonder if this is a space issue. How much space do you have available? How full is your /tmp directory? Also, right click on the ACP PhotoPlog Moderate Files page, and look at the HTML souce. What do you see where the thumbs should be?
