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.

So, the PRO v1.4.7 can do it now.
You can upload any supported type of media onto you server (forum) and insert into the UMG by a link.

Can you please add Tangle.com (formerly Godtube.com)? Thanks.

Is it possible to rename the main umg.php to something else to make it more unique?

Also, what is the difference between this free version and pro? Your site is in German(?) who I have no idea what it says

Feature Request for Video Media:

(see this mod: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=200819)

Ability to automatically fill in Title, Tags, Time, Video Description just like above video mod.

[Coroner]

My site uses both languages (german and english).
There are a lot of differences between Pro and Lite.

For Tangle.com simply unzip the attached file and upload tangle.php into umg_gallery/media_sides

Regards

[Chadi]

Thanks for the Tangle

NOTE: i'm posting this in both mods' threads to see who's willing to proceed with this, hopefully.

I've been wanting to have one mod that can do the following, all in one and I'm willing to donate to whomever will accomplish this task. I'll gladly donate $100 via Paypal. I think others should donate too to get this "Vb media center" into fruition.

All in one Media Center Mod:

video feature

1. online media, url based (youtube, google, etc)
   - auto insert tags, title, time, video description
2. member uploaded videos
3. video resize (retain aspect) on admin side
4. ability to auto place all video submissions (custom or url based) into moderation queue first

Photo feature

1. full member photo gallery, member uploads
2. online image media support (photobucket, etc) url based
3. highslide or alike javascript effect for viewing photos
4. slideshow ability: random, member album only, all photos
5. public or private member gallery, w/ custom permissions (allow only buddies, etc.)

Audio feature

1. custom member uploads
2. url based (sermonindex.net, imeem, etc)
3. built in player (inline), with style customization possible
4. full audio support (mp3, wav, rm, etc)

Misc features

1. mod home page: latest, top, random, most commented, featured sections
2. ability to leave comments on all areas (video, audio, photos)
3. ability to leave ratings
4. member playlists creation (all areas, video, audio, photos)
5. who's currently viewing this [video, image, mp3]
6. who's active in directory
7. duplicate url [video, mp3, image] prevention (obvious, this applies to url based submissions)
8. ajax feature to avoid page refresh: comments, ratings, photo slideshow, etc.
9. global tag cloud
10. member profile showing statistics for uploads/submissions/playlists
11. importer (vbgallery, etc)

So the above is practically a hybrid of these two mods:

Preparation*
If "safe_mode" is ON

Open the file umg_ftp.php and enter your FTP data.
The path $ftp_xtra = ''; must stay at "httpdocs" on my server.
Therefor it will try to create the folders per FTP (this will done only 1x time each User) if he tries to upload something into his private gallery.

How do I know if Safe_mode is on or not

[Coroner]

the simplest way is, to take a look at your php.ini.

Another option is, open "umg_ftp.php" and chage "password" in "" or "username" in "".
When uploading a media and safe_mode is on, you will get a message, that umg_ftp needs to filled correctely.

[Saint_I_Am]

seems safe mode is off as I uploaded an image and didn't get a message

[Saint_I_Am]

Me again

I get this error message when running the photopost converter

Warning: require_once([path]/pp/config-inc.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in [path]/photopost_2_umg.php on line 28

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required '/home/******/public_html/3.8test/pp/config-inc.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/******/public_html/3.8test/photopost_2_umg.php on line 28

Do I need to edit the photopost_2_umg.php file? I uploaded it to the root
