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!

@bmoods: if you make a category or subcategory, it will show even if there are no files, sort of like how a forum shows even if it contains no posts.

@ChrisBaktis: it looks to be a loop. Maybe you have been affected by the category as its own parent now fixed bug. Run the following query and let me know what you see:

SELECT * FROM photoplog_categories WHERE catid = parentid;

@Allan: how does the BBcode not work? Can you make a screenshot for me to see?

I get this error:

An error occurred while attempting to execute your query. The following information was returned.
error number: 1146
error desc: Table 'xrustysoaptraders.photoplog_categories' doesn't exist

Okay, download PhotoPlog again to make sure you have the latest version and in the readme file redo the install or upgrade instructions because a step or two got missed in there.

I downloaded - reinstalled and now when I go to the forums page it is down and I get this error

PHP Code:

Invalid SQL:
SELECT *
                    FROM photoplog_fileuploads
                    WHERE moderate = 0
                    ORDER BY RAND()
                    LIMIT 5;

I'd guess that you used the upgrade XML instead of the install XML this time around, so the photoplog_fileuploads table wasn't created. Do the uninstall procedure as in the readme, and then do the new install procedure.

screenies

Right, if a file is uploaded but no category is selected, then it shows 'not available' because there is no category name to show.

[Allan]

which is the relationship with the fact that the bbcodes are not taken into account when one does not select categories

[calorie]

Oh oh oh, I see what you mean. Yeah, when you set categories, there aren't options for 'No one / Not available' so nothing is done for BBcode, but if you edit the functions.php file...

	$do_html = false;
	$do_smilies = false;
	$do_bbcode = false;
	$do_imgcode = false;
	$do_parseurl = false;
	$do_comments = false;
	$do_ratings = false;

You can set the defaults to whatever, true or false, for the 'No one / Not available' category.

Now it has categories I have tried it on my test box. Full path is set, photoplog path is set in cp settings, photoplog page is taking sometime to load, it has no header (seems to be adding wierd doubleups to the paths: http://192.168.xxx.xxx/portal-35x/fo...logo_white.gif)

Maybe this is also linked to the cant load page when I try and select a category or upload page ?
