Major Additions - Media Gallery (Photos, Audio, YouTUBE)

Since 2006 I was serving community members with my Free Mods
But as this site will starts operating by the company,
I'm no willing to support them

** File Removed **


Media Gallery
Photos, Audio, YouTUBE

Compatible with vB4.2.3

I'm offering my hard work for free, without even a single copyright line in footer, expecting that some of you will appreciate the time that I spent for coding it and they will donate something.

Demo: http://www.teriakis.com/vb423/media.php

1.- What's this?

Media Gallery it's a simple Gallery mod supporting Photo and Audio uploads and YouTUBE videos. I was looking for a simple Gallery mod for my own use and as I didn't found something meeting my requirements, I coded this mod. By saying "simple" mostly goes to the easy of use, otherwise it has some great features that you can't even find in big Galleries. It's social share ready especially for Facebook using OpenGraph Meta.

Explore it. You'll love it.

2.- Installation

1. Download the zip file, and unzip it
2. Upload the content of upload/ folder to your forum directory
3. CMOD 777 the directories:
   1. mediagallery/audio
   2. mediagallery/photos
   3. mediagallery/photos/thumbs
4. From your Admincp import product-mediagallery.xml
5. If you're using htaccess file for SEO Urls copy the content of htaccess.txt to your .htaccess file
6. Check and Set Usergroup Permissions
7. Check and Set General Settings
8. Add Categories
9. Moderation is available from ModCP.

PS: For YouTUBE videos the code with tries to fetch the video thumb. Sometimes this action stucks. In this case you can upload your own thumb.

not sure.. I uninstalled, reuploaded the lastest, cleared cache, ...everything. Still the issue. Like system not functioning in Chrome, but perfect in IE.

edit** may be wrong... seems to be performing slightly odd in IE as well. ehhh, maybe I will just try to remove anything associated with the likes systems until it can be sorted.

Thanks


EDIT AGAIN**** lol
okay, if I give registered users permission to "post in gallery" then they are able to like.... I only noticed this because my admin account can vote without issues... writing what I see as I go.. sorry for all the updates.

Just add a video with title "Testing Thumb".

The reason that you and someone else can't see the thumbs is because (like most users) you're in rush to have everything working just after the upload. If you follow the standard steps valid for all vB mods it should works. And the main step is: SETTINGS.

If you go to the mod settings, the last one is:
Server Path to Uploads
Set there the correct server path to ...../mediagallery/photos and everything should works fine.

I was adding full url didn't understand "The filename (and NOT the full URL) of your YouTUBE video." sorry about that

ive changed it to (Just enter youtube id) e.g in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d4RiUy23e9s ("d4RiUy23e9s" is id)

works perfect thank you

Also, Is there any way to edit or remove videos once posted?

[concepts]

Is it possible to make the upload of certain types permission based? Like not having "can post items" a one all? I would like to give them permission to only post YouTube videos, or photos, or mp3 uploads as a selection under "can post items" usergroup. I want to control server space, as well as offer nice incentives to certain usergoups... if this makes sense.

The only one I see is under the "my media" tab. However I do not currently see a way to delete others items, unless you have a mod that allows signing in through a different users account. Although I am curious as to why admins can't even delete others videos. Unless I am missing something as well.

Really I can't understand that "jquery" directory inside the URLs eg /mediagallery/jquery/images/

What are these images? Uploaded images?
