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.

Since upgrading to 4.2.2 PL3 we're receiving this error message when clicking on Photoplog thumbnails (Top of board or in Photoplog itself.):

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

That would be this line of code:

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

I tried re-uploading that file but no change. Has anyone experienced this issue? What is the message telling me?

[Dave]

I believe you can fix that by replacing

PHP Code:

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


with

PHP Code:

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

Thank you Dave, again...LOL. That is indeed the fix!

Couple of issues ...

How do I delete/edit the navbar menu item so I can create my own?

I am using vbadvanced, but I don't want thumbnails on my vba page - the included file is quite a but different to my vba file. However, if I leave it alone my homepage goes blank.

Nevermind. I'm an idiot

Works perfectly

Thank you

Hat jemand eine Deutsche Sprachdatei für die aktuelle Version 2.1.6?

Have someone german phrases for version 2.1.6?

I'm wondering if anyone answers questions about Photoplog at this point, but here's one:

I'm trying to get a solid background color to display behind the thumbs on Forumhome, top and bottom.

The reason being that on custom skins the main background is displaying inside the thumb borders, and on the bottom thumb display that obscures the info and data for each picture. And then of course the Forum Display pages, etc.

If you can post a link to your forum, I can likely write a simple plugin to add the needed CSS. What color would you want behind the thumbs?

Thanks Mark! We have 6-7 skins that are currently being worked on, removed or updated. I've put off fixing some things for a long time.

I'm just looking for a color setting, light - medium gray, so it won't clash with some of our themes. White would be fine too.

I would think there's somewhere in the Pro version to work on colors but I've looked everywhere with no luck.

** Forgot to add, have a default style set other than the vB default.

Do you have to be a registered user to see the thumbs? I'm only seeing your notices up top...
