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!

That's why you tell then to upload the directory to their forum root.

Would be ok if it used a hook to integarte say a photoplog.php file to vb's index. I think that would be a huge change now tho.

What about the people who don't want 'everything' in their forum directory?

I probably didnt quite word the post right. I pretty much agree with you for this addon anyway, but if it was to change I would be ok with it as above

I wouldnt want to be forced to have to have a photoplog directory in forum root & it not be an integrated hook on vb's index.

I really dont see much hardship in editing one line on the rare occasion the photoplogs config.php needs an update or for first install.

It's already pointed to /index.php.
When I go to the gallery it always redirects me back to the main domain. It doesn't stay in the sub-domain that it's supposed to.

Anything else you can think of? I really want to have a gallery on my site but if I can't get this working then it isn't an option.

@nitro: oops, forgot the @JumpD on that comment. JumpD's code bit would help with the full path questions people have by removing that element, but there might then be 'how to move out of forum directory' questions. I just tried to be as general as possible so PhotoPlog could go in /photoplog, /foobar/photoplog, /forum/photoplog, /forum/foobar/photoplog, etcetera. My preference is to have /forum for the forum and stick other things in their own directories, but if people want to do as JumpD suggests and install in /forum/photoplog, machts nicht to me.

@furst: find the following in PhotoPlog's settings.php file:

$photoplog_location = $photoplog_schemehost.$vbulletin->options['photoplog_script_dir'];

And try 'hard' setting it to something like follows:

$photoplog_location = 'http://sub.domain.com'; // OR
$photoplog_location = 'http://sub.domain.com/foo'; // OR
$photoplog_location = 'http://sub.domain.com/foo/bar'; // ETC

I have exactly 7 pictures in the gallery and it stopped working.

Now I (actually everybody) gets the error

Sorry, utw-Mephisto: Maximum Number of Allowed File Uploads Exceeded

The Maximum File Limit is even set to 100000

@harry1951: look in the templates for $vbphrase[posts] and stick the links around there or wherever else you'd like them to appear

@utw-Mephisto: atop of upload.php is where max files is checked, probably permissions so try: admincp/index.php?do=buildbitfields

[utw-Mephisto]

Did not work I am afraid

Okay, go run the following query in say phpMyAdmin and see if it returns a count:
[sql]
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM photoplog_fileuploads WHERE userid = 1;
[/sql]
