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!

Sorry calorie, it didn't work. I checked my vb config.php for the forum path, which I retrieved; '/home/users/public_html/forums', however, even after using this as the value in my photoplog config file, the index page still doesn't appear--it's still blank!

Is there the possibillity that the uploader must insert "Title" and "Description" for the picture?

Also that he must choose a categorie?

[calorie]

@wrang: is the images directory set to drwxrwxrwx 777 permission?

@lordnex: it'd be better / easier to edit and select a real category.

@chrisisonfire: try going to your-domain.com/photoplog/index.php

@Mike_K: will add your suggestion to the think-about, might-do list.

FYI: tip, if you want to have a default category selected on upload:

In PhotoPlog's upload.php file, find $photoplog_file_catid = -1; and
change -1 to a catid number of a category set in the Category Manager

All I can get is the following error message,

vBulletin datastore error caused by one or more of the following:

1. You may have uploaded vBulletin 3.5 files without also running the vBulletin 3.5 upgrade script. If you have not run the upgrade script, do so now.
2. The datastore cache may have been corrupted. Run Rebuild Bitfields from tools.php, which you can upload from the do_not_upload folder of the vBulletin package.

Fatal error: vBulletin datastore cache incomplete or corrupt in /includes/init.php on line 185

I did not have photoplog installed, so I upgraded to vB 3.5.2 from 3.5.1, then installed photoplog, all I can get is the following error. I tired running the command from tools.php but still get this error. I reverted all templates and still get this error. Help?

thanks,
Chad

Bug to report: When you edit a file by changing the image, the image size does not change. I uploaded a file, and then optimized the image, and re-uploaded, but it still said the old file size.

Could that be coded in the admincp as an option? With rapid upgrades editing a file over and over becomes repetitive and will be forgotten (yeah.. i forget lots of things) LOL

[indie]

Also when I edit a file for mod reasons, it bumps it to being new. Edits should not bump in my opinion.

Including the page name in the URL made no difference. It's still a blank page! It's possible that I put the files in the wrong directories. What would be correct? I followed the readme as best I could, but still, I might have made a mistake! irate:

How can i Edit the PhotoPlog Title in Browser and Navigation?

When i change in Phrases: PhotoPlog to Showroom, this not work.

@white_2kgt: try FTPing all files again, in ASCII mode except images, and then call: admincp/index.php?do=buildbitfields

@indie: file size only changed when the file was bigger, but that has been fixed in v.1.0.6 so just upgrade for the size fix

@lordnex: understandable but v.1.0.6 is intended as the final release of the lite series, so rapid upgrades should be done

@chrisisonfire: /photoplog stuff should be in /public_html and /forum stuff should be in the equivalent forum directories

@allstar55: search in the vB global phrases for photoplog also, as there are a few of the photoplog phrases in there

FYI: v.1.0.6 has been released and is intended as the final release of the lite series
