Major Additions - PhotoPlog: The Pro Gallery

PhotoPlog: The Pro Gallery - Version 2.1.6 for vBulletin 4.2.1

This is a full-fledged and completely integrated image gallery add-on for vBulletin. No template edits are necessary. This is the same version that was licensed for sale back in the vBulletin 3 days, but it has been upgraded to vBulletin 4.2.1 and is being offered without charge and is not feature-limited. You get the full pro version.

It comes with various thumb, image, and display settings, has the ability to determine and display EXIF information, is integrated with several packages including Highslide, and you can set a number of usergroup and category permissions, moderate comments and files, add custom fields, FTP import, mass move, and more.


Integrated packages (all are the most recent packages available as of 09 June 2013):

• Highslide JS 4.1.13
• JHead 2.97
• CKEditor 4.1.1
• jQuery 1.10.1

PhotoPlog Pro 2.1.6 has been developed for the following version of vBulletin:

• vBulletin 4.2.1 (fresh install)

PhotoPlog Pro 2.1.6 has been tested on the following browsers:

• Firefox 21.0
• Internet Explorer 10.0.5

Check out the screenshots.


How to upgrade from PhotoPlog Pro v.2.1.5 to PhotoPlog Pro v.2.1.6?

You can follow the readme file, but this is a small change to fix a bug I inadvertently introduced
(sorry!!) when I moved the code around. All you need to do is one minute of work as follows:

• FTP these three files from the PhotoPlog ZIP:
  

  /forum/admincp/photoplog_plugins.php
  /photoplog/functions.php
  /photoplog/settings.php

• Reimport the following XML file via the vB ACP:
  

  product-photoplog.xml

  Do NOT uninstall !!!
  Do allow overwrite.

How to upgrade from any other version of PhotoPlog to PhotoPlog Pro v.2.1.6?

• Backup first and then follow the upgrade instructions in the readme file.

Additional questions...
Will there be a PhotoPlog version for vBulletin 5? Probably not. My understanding is that vBulletin 5 already includes a gallery.
So what happened to you anyway? Personal issues. My sincerest apologies to anyone negatively affected by my absence.
What about GARS, GAB, GAZ, GAL, and GeekMart? I'm not sure if I'll update these, and probably not anytime soon.

I downloaded the product, and looked at that file, and unfortunately, I don't see what the issue is...but it's past my bedtime, and perhaps tomorrow with fresh eyes, I will spot it.

Thank you. It's past mine too. I'll check back in the morning. Thanks again for all your help

PHP Code:

$bbcode_parser = new vB_BbCodeParser($vbulletin, fetch_tag_list()); 


Thank you. I was getting the same error

Warning: Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated in ..../photoplog/ratebit.php on line 29

and this did indeed fix that one.

Hi Mark, I'm going to uninstall this for now and try DBTech's gallery instead since that one is updated and supported. Photoplug is a neat add-on but it's creating double entries in the database everytime I create a new category and the final straw was when my ckeditor disappeared... possibly because of their ckeditor plug-in.

Thanks for taking the time. Hopefully whatever you find will help someone, maybe even me if DBTech;s doesn't work out...

On edit: I'm not uninstalling it just yet. Instead I'll recheck every single step to make sure I didn't miss anything.

2nd edit: There was nothing wrong with the editor. Some of my CKeditor files weren't properly uploaded. Sigh. I encourage anyone who runs into problems to retrace every single step and upload these files even more methodically that normal. But I still have the original problem you were helping me with

Thanks

Did you ever find an answer to this? I'm having the same problem.

Oh PhotoPlog, so many found memories of this plugin back in the day
I always liked it over the expensive photopost

[Rakehel]

This one is new to me, I think, hoping somebody has seen it. The main photo display stopped working, all photos, multiple, updated browsers. We're still using vb 4.2.3 w/any applicable patches.

I've tried using the photoplog maintenance tools, and looking over file.php, the apparent issue. I noted the file on the server was smaller in size than the original photoplog/file.php file, v2.1.6. I tried a backup and overwrite. Verified chmodding.

The paths below are for the same picture. From Chrome Inspect tool:

<img style="padding: 1px; border: 1px solid #CCCCCC;" src="http://www.xxxxx.com/forum/photoplog/file.php?n=168&amp;w=l" alt="Click to view original" border="0" title="Click to view original">

Picture's properties in IE 11 (Looked at in Edge too.):

http://www.xxxxx.com/forum/photoplog/file.php?n=469&w=l

Mozilla error message displayed: <img src="http://www.xxxxx.com/forum/photoplog/file.php?n=168&amp;w=o" alt="The image “http://www.xxxxx.com/forum/photoplog...amp;w=o” cannot be displayed because it contains errors.">

Does anyone have insight regarding my previous post?

[aeternitasster]

I've installed it on vBulletin 4.2.5 and followed the instructions, everything works okay up until the upload. The upload page comes up, I add a file, the description, etc., but when I try to upload this error comes up:

syntax error, unexpected 'new' (T_NEW) on line 29 in /home/domain/forums.domain.net/photoplog/ratebit.php
#0 {main}

Line 29 of ratebit.php :
$bbcode_parser =& new vB_BbCodeParser($vbulletin, fetch_tag_list());

Any ideas?

edit: Nevermind, it's fixed. Same problem as with the vb link directory. If anyone else has this problem and uses PHP 7, it can be corrected by removing the class assignment operator - the ‘&’ - which is no longer supported.

Same problem here, the Photoplog Gallery Selector button is not pointing to the correct path. What I mean by this is that:

https://www.website.com/gallery/selector.php?e=vB_Editor_001_editor

should be

https://www.website.com/photoplog/selector.php?e=vB_Editor_001_editor

I could not find the code under custom BB codes. Where/how do I change this?

In the meantime I've added a rewrite. In case someone else wants to do this, here is the code. Add this to .htaccess :

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
# BEGIN Rewrite /gallery/ to /photoplog/
RewriteRule ^gallery/(.*)$ /photoplog/$1 [R=301,NC,L]
# END   Rewrote /gallery/ to /photoplog/
</IfModule>
