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!

Support is not making new versions all the time. Support is keeping up with the questions and issues that people have with your product. Making new versions has nothing to do with that.

Besides, if the product still works, has no vulnerabilities, then what are you supposed to add? If there's nothing to add or change, then a new version isn't necessary.

vB 3.7 of course has features like albums, etc to display some photos.

What happens IF I install this and then down the road decide to uninstall it? Obviously all the images remain on my server, but are they usable anywhere else? Actually that sounds like a dumb question I guess. I'm wondering if down the road if this product goes away, do I just have a folder of useless images or are they shared with some other vB feature that would continue to be in existence such as albums.

I suspect the answer is no, but I was interested in users experiences.

Thanks,

Tom

They are not shared with any vB feature. So if you uninstall it, the images are only salvagable through FTP.

I'm getting these errors

Warning: chdir() [function.chdir]: No such file or directory (errno 2) in /home/venge/public_html/forum/photoplog/settings.php on line 94

However once i remove a , in the config i then get a new error

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING in /home/venge/public_html/forum/photoplog/config.php on line 12

Help would be appriciated

For your first error, take a look at the second post of this thread. It means your path was improperly set in your config.php file. Not sure why you removed that comma but you may need to start over with a fresh config file

Whats the difference between this and the albums built into Vb?

I'll take KIS and best coding practice over 'feature rich' any day. :up:

This was created before the Albums feature was. This allows users to put images in a categorized Gallery, rather then a personalized photo album. Think of the difference between an actual gallery and an actuall photo album. That would essentially be the same difference.
