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!

@nitro and @Robru: thanks for the info, that should be enough for me to figure were paths are breaking, will work on a fix later today.

@allstar55: look for random bits in settings.php and ORDER BY dateline DESC instead of ORDER BY RAND() and make sure your vB cookie settings (admincp/options.php?do=options&dogroup=http) allow for both /forum and /showroom directories, plus for linking to PhotoPlog in a vB template use:

<a href="http://www.nfs-center.de/showroom/index.php$session[sessionurl_q]">Showroom</a>

@nitro and @Robru: try 1.0.2.3, does it fix the paths?

[nitro]

@Calorie That is looking a whole lot better m8. all but one from what I can see with some hovering and clicking is bad and thats the generic portal home custom link in the navbar which for some reason has /portal/forums/portal/module.php
all the css images appear tio be fine still aswell.

I shall have to see what I can do about that portal home link, any advice as it does appear to be connected to the duplicate dirs ?

For now with the portal home link I have changed $vboptions[portalhome] to $vboptions[homeurl]/portal/index.php which seems better, but maybe theres a better way ?

My guess is that your portalhome setting is a relative link like /portal/index.php so PhotoPlog absolute links it to vB_Forum_URL/portal/index.php, which makes the /portal/forums/portal part you see. Basically, PhotoPlog prepends the vB Forum URL setting to relative links, so if you want to link to something not relative to the vB Forum URL setting, then using the absolute link is the way to go in PhotoPlog.

No Calorie,

It's the same problem!

The path was: http://www.domain.com/forum/photoplog(index.php) with v1.0.2, that works good for me!
and with v1.0.2.1, v1.0.2.2 and v1.0.2.3 the path is now?: http://www.domain.com/photoplog This path don't works for me!

What path, i.e., what link is it? Also,
what are your settings for these:

• vB Homepage URL
• vB Forum URL
• PhotoPlog Directory
• Duplicate Directory

Not sure how to utilise your absolute links function myself but I have found a slightly better method using $vbpoptions[homeurl]/module.php?

Funny as ../index.php? also works or ../module.php?

[VB-STYLE]
