Major Additions - Ultimate Media Gallery LITE

What is it ?
It's a gallery - what do you think ?

Why another Gallery ? There is no gallery, it can do all the things you need. Categories and Images, every gallery can do, but ...
... does anotherone have passwords for categories or let a category visible at a certain time ? Which gallery supports
Medias ? JPG, GIF and PNG are standard - but what happend with APE, ASF, ASX, DIVX, AVI, MIDI, MP3, MPG, SWF, FLV ... ? or what happends with Links (Videos) ?
No Problem for the Ultimate Media Gallery ! approx. 20 Medias + approx. 20 URLs are supported. The best to it, all in the forums - no external player.
My thanks goes to @nix (Goldbrick) for his permission to use some parts of his Mod.

Categories, Media, Comments and also the Searchfunction works for permission. Which may not be seen, e.g. with the search one does not found.
The gallery is not integrated in the forum like many different - from performance reasons. The number of Queries per side is on the average with approx. 10-12.

Having problems with mp3 etc uploads as they seem to be limited to 2.5 mb,but my upload limit is set at 800mb.

Category: Test catagory
Allowed Filetypes:
jpg, jpeg, gif, png, avi, mp3, mid
Allowed Filesizes:
2048 x 2048 (Pixels) or 2.5 MB of 800M

may well be something i have missed as i am a bit thick at moment with tablets recovering from major operation lol

Also can i change allowed filetypes

[xperiencer]

I have two questions:

1. I'd like there to be a way to post something in the forums when a new image or file or video is uploaded....is there a way to have *SOMETHING* show *SOMEWHERE* to allow folks to know something has been uploaded? (I was hoping to have a forum or subforum where posts or notifications could be made so folks would KNOW something new was uploaded).

2. How do folks use the PRIVATE UMG? I see the A thru Z listing but no usernames there, and don't know how folks could have their own private gallery....only the "Main" categories I've created for them.

My site is http://www.lilrascalsclan.com/forum/

Thank you in advance for any help (from anyone)....
Regards,
Jason

1.) it's not implemented

2.) as a user, you have a UserCP, too (if permissions are given). In this menue you can create "private" categories

Hi all
I use this gallery now for some weeks and the only thing i can say: it works absolutely perfect. OK...the handling inside the ACP is a little bit confusing...and the upload link is really hard to find...but you can easily change this by editing the necessary template (done in half a minute)
I bought the PRO version and killed my Photopost Pro gallery (several times hacked) after taking over all the photos.
The only thing i`m missing (but its not big desaster) is the functionality for admins to upload pictures for another user of the board...that was a good tool to help my users in critical situations.
From my site of view the best gallery in the moment...and with a really good support.
Thanks Coroner

Is there any way to upload a thumbnail if it is not automatically generated.
Also when i buy pro,(Waiting for payday lol) is it a straight upgrade or a total reinstall??

[Coroner]

In the last PRO version (v1.5.4) is an option to upload an image as thumbnail. This option isn't for Images itself - only for media.

Upgrade:
It's easy and simple (upgrading files and product overwriting)

[fahl]

Brilliant thanx Coroner,Roll on payday lol

Hey !! I've installed the mod in vBAdvances, latest thumbnails, and i would like to have it on forumhome, before stats, how can i do?

Thanks! Very good mod!

PS: I also get this error

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or '}' in /home/prmodweb/public_html/foros/includes/class_umgmedia.php on line 10

It's with the media (URL) http://foros.projectreality.com.ar/umg.php?c=2

I edited the media and only see the desccription, don't know if it was an URL.

Also i found a bug, it let you post even if you didn't introduce any link or path to an image, there should be a checker.

I cannot view the video "pop-ups" in most formats in firefox,the browser asks to download plug-ins for .avi videos among others,some of the plug-ins i actually already have.
Is there a fix? or maybe a way to play the videos "on the page" rather than in the ajax box?
btw,mp3 works fine and so does .flv,along with images.
Anyone else having this issue?

[ukdalai]

how have you got video popups, it uses highslide, that has its own issue, i actually want it to use a seperate popup, rather than the highslide <div>.

has anyone already done this.
