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!

This fixed it
Thnx for the support

I don't know if it is asked earlier. It would be great if usergroups could be assigned per category. I need that very strongly. We organize events. Every event get's is own usergroup and forum. On the event a lot of people are taking pictures and want to share these, but only with people who were present at the event. So for every event I want to create an catagory (or child-catagory), which is only visible for participants. Can this be done???

PhotoPost Pro can do the usergroup thing, although I'm not sure about events. I'd personally love to see the feature here though.

Update went without problems..

One small thing: I couldn't revert the old templates so I left them and just installed the new plugin file and it worked.
The documentation tells to revert the template but it's also working the way I did it

Silurius, what would live be easy for webmasters if hacks could be integrated ...In my situation it would be great if it goes as follows. Event created - forum created -secundairy usergroup created- attendance subbcription - photoplog catagory created. Only attendees (members of secondary usergroup)are allowed to see forum and photo-category. I think it will be a dream

Can you tell me where to put this in the templates. I'm not a coder. Something like find .... put after this

There is no absolute spot to places such things, just place the anchor tags wherever you'd like the links to appear.

Do a for exemple...

You can get rid of that whole config.php script and the user edit that comes with it.

Find in settings.php

PHP Code:

// ######################## GRAB THE FULL PATH ############################
require_once('./config.php'); 


replace with

PHP Code:

// ######################## GRAB THE FULL PATH ############################
define('PHOTOPLOG_FWD', dirname(dirname(__FILE__)));

That'll only work if PhotoPlog is installed one level inside the forum directory. It won't find the forum directory for when PhotoPlog is installed elsewhere, i.e., it's not a general solution.
