Image Gallery v1.0

Instructions in the ZIP file (gallery.txt). Should explain most details of installation. I haven't done an INSTALL from scratch, so you get to beta test that part of the program.

The gallery itself seems quite stable. I added some load limiting/checking options before releasing as well. Let me know how your installs go, features you'd like to see, etc.

If you want to see an example:

How do I make on the dropdown only active forums shown?
It is listing even forums that are inactive (i have a bunch)


Please help
Thanks

Are you refering to "new" posts or threads in active forums, or just forums that are hidden, and not shown to the public. Im not understanding the whole question here, but your jump box script usually can bail you out of that one, for it displays forums that should be seen by certain users. So, if you have a masked gallery, it will show up in the pulldown jump box to the users who have permission to see it, and in the same sense, display nothing to the user who should NOT see it.

Sorry if Im way off base on this one Sarge, im just having a hard time understanding what it is your asking is all.

I have several forums that are hidden and not active for users..
I us them with the bfc weblog

When I view the gallery dropdown.. it lists every forum that I have...including the 10 forums that do not display on my actual index.php

I want it to only display active forums..
Understand?
Hope I could explain it

Are you looking at them logged in as the admin or moderator? Do you still have this problem if you're not logged in, or logged in as a regular member?

The same as an admin or a reg member

My question is, if all members can see the hidden forums, Can they access them as well? (when they choose lets say a hidden forum that is masked and has forum permissions set on) Or does a log-in prompt ask the users who are not allowed in these forums, to log-in due to the permissions aspect?

Either way, I would just copy the jump box IF it doesnt do the same thing, and add it where your hardcoded box is. If your gallery is a few of those "hidden" forums, than they will be hidden on the Jump box as well.
The jump box as I previously stated, only shows the forums that are allowed to be seen by those who have the permissions to do so. The masked jump box, would work perfect for your set up.

What happened i think, is that you hardcoded the addys to your hidden forums, and they are showing up in your dropboxes.

Just wondering if there's been any further progress on this? I'd love to be able to get this hack working on my site.

I wanted to make a quick comment about this script.

After the perfect instructions that I had everything installed just fine.

The one problem I did come up with is that I have over 2000 attachments on my site on a dedicated box. The CPU went very high. In fact peaking at 26.5 at times. Basically killing the website process.

It was the image software though.. not the php coding.

I suggest anyone installing this to clean up your attachments before you attempt this install. I accually aborted out of the idea.

Good luck.

I am having the same problem also. I just cannot get the script to work! I would love to have this gallery on my site. I tried everything this thread said to do, but no luck. I confirmed the path to ImageMagick with my provider also.


You can view my gallery here!

Not sure why your load went so high.. it'll only try to create one thumbnail at a time. My own site has 1000+ attachments, I've deleted the thumbs table for testing purposes and load hasn't gone through the roof. I'll take a look into it, been busy, but I'll be making the hidden forum change and a few other requests this week.

Interestingly, I thought I'd post an update on my problems with this hack. I added and when it wasn't working, I just left it alone. Any image that has been posted to the Forums since the date of installation....has been properly thumbnailed and viewable in the gallery. Any images prior to the date of installation, will not thumbnail. I now have to go and delete 300+ thumbnail records out of the table and then the hack should be ready to release to my members.
