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.

Okay, I finally got some time to work on this again. I tried to install it again on our test site and I still get a blank page when I click the photoplog link in the navbar.

I'm not an expert at this stuff, but I have installed quite a few things so I would consider myself "pretty good" at it so I'm "pretty sure" I did everything correctly. I checked and double checked all the files to make sure they were in the right place and it all seems good.

To recap, we had this mod installed on our site several years ago, but probably 4 years ago under another owner the mod quit working or was disabled. So I attempted to go with the photoplog upgrade path. Everything seem to install properly and all the admin options are there, but nothing on the main page.

It could be that the database tables were altered sometime in the past. I don't know squat about the database and I don't mess with it so I don't know how to check that. But all the old photo folders are still there and I'd like to be able to keep them if possible so we can access them again.

I'd love to be able to get this working again because it was a great album mod.

If that doesn't work perhaps it is a conflict with another mod?

Without knowing much about your particular install I would check the simple things first. Re-upload all files and check permissions, both file and usergroup. Make sure the files are in proper format first.

Yeah, I screwed up part of the install, not getting the blank page now but it's still not working quite right. As soon as I get more time I'll get back on it again.

I have a problem.

Not Found

The requested URL /photoplog/index.php was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Could this possibly be a style issue?
I had one style that wouldn't show the sub links to Photoplog.
On any of my other three styles it all worked perfectly

Can you give more details?
Was this error given from the link on the navbar?

Exactly, I did the installation as directed. And it appears that error.

Hi there,

Does this import (or populate) from the default album gallery included in vbulletin 4.2x?

[kylek]

Nice to see both this gallery and calorie back! Had the pro version back before vb4 came out.

New install.

Got an error showing in the header - anyone have an idea what to look for?

Seem to be referencing facebook, we do use facebook connect..


Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: Cannot send session cache limiter - headers already sent (output started at [path]/photoplog/config.php:33) in [path]/includes/facebook/facebook.php on line 37


Also can the filmstrip be displayed in vbcms?

[Reece^B]

Installed, checked forum path, inputted correct settings. Constant 'server error'

Calorie can you take a look please?
