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!

Is there anyway to add this manually to version 1.04? Someone else installed this for me and is no longer available. I have no clue how to upgrade.

thanks

Thanks for telling me how to fix my issue!

@Tefra and @allstar55: not sure what the future holds, ATM am taking a code break.

@Racenut: 1.0.4 is out, 1.0.5 is in, but there are upgrade instructions in the readme file.

@indie: right, just change the background="whatever" bits to style="whatever" bits like so:

background="images/indietalk/misc/vborgtop_02.gif" =>
style="background-image: url(images/indietalk/misc/vborgtop_02.gif);"

background="images/indietalk/misc/vborgmiddle_01.gif" =>
style="background-image: url(images/indietalk/misc/vborgmiddle_01.gif);"

background="images/indietalk/misc/vborgmiddle_03.gif" =>
style="background-image: url(images/indietalk/misc/vborgmiddle_03.gif);"

Wow, thanks so much! I am going to donate paypal funds.

A few things:

1. If you allow BBcode, and if you start the description with BBcode, like a bolded title, on the home page, it says "unavailable..." under posted by, instead of showing text. This is important to my site because I will be uploading some products, and it makes them look unavailable.

2. It'd be nice to have an editor when making the description for members that don't know BBcode, and are used to using the editor in the postbit (for BBcode, smilies, etc.)

Great Product!

Can you post a screen of what you see?

[calorie]

Oh wait, I think I know what you mean. In the file list, under posted by, you have $vbulletin->options['lastthreadchars'] * 2 allowed characters, but if it breaks in the middle of a tag, the whole tag is removed to avoid a broken tag onscreen, hence unavailable. To confirm, try setting the description to a small thing like [b ]foo[ /b] and then it should show.

Calorie I'm still getting "not available"

My screen shots are what I'm getting. It's accepting the title, just not the comment itself. The permissions are for my typical user. Allowed to comment, no editing or deleting.
Admins have yes across the board.
I just downloaded the current version and upgraded it entirely. I'm going to uninstall the product and try to see if that works .. I would like to know what may be the problem (save someone else from losing stuff)

Just FYI, I completely removed the product and then reinstalled it and I'm still getting the error. Ideas?

[calorie]

You don't need to uninstall the product to upgrade. If you do uninstall the product, you'll tank your gallery.
