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.

I see skin/skin4 ya code no idea what it means tho

<script type="text/javascript" src="mediagallery/tabs/skinable_tabs.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
	$('.tabs_topmedia').skinableTabs({
		effect: 'basic_display',
		skin: 'skin4',
		position: 'top',
		persist_tab: '0'
	});

There are thousands of reasons why as Administrator of any board might want to make changes to the media directory - updating and changing things on the site? Even just correcting bad spelling or grammar on a members upload if you didn't notice it on the moderation. And you cant change categories after initial upload either .....

I'm sorry but being able to edit or delete a members upload after an initial approval is ridiculous.

Is anyone else having issues with permissions??? I want members to VOTE but not POST. But I have to give them posting rights to be able to vote, if I just give access to vote, they cannot vote unless they have access to post.

As I can see in the Usergroup Permissions I've seperate permission for Voting so if you've set it correct and does not works means that I've a bug in my code but I'm out now I can't check the file.

Thank you. As I seen the code is correct. If someone has permissions to Vote can vote on media items, except:
1.- If he alredey voted
2.- If he is the owner. Here is a common misunderstanding. Item owners are trying to vote their own items but they can't do it and thus they think that voting is not working. Again. You can't vote your own media items.

Is there a simple way to delete videos?

Are Youtube thumbnails posted by user only or pulled from Youtube?

Thanks

Not my situation at all, however I can understand why you would assume that.

When I set to YES can vote, but NO for can post. This is what happens.

1. Members goes to vote on an item (not their own) clicks "I like it" the counter disappears button stays clicked in". After refreshing page, no vote has been picked up.

When set to YES can vote and YES can post.
No issues with voting at all.

Okay, maybe I will re-upload this and see if that fixes my situation.

Appreciate the response.


Edit* no luck in a reupload and accidently overwrote my damn cool icons! hahaha (didn't save them) sucks ._. lol

Now it's more clear. First I thought that the "I Like it" doesn't appears. Now I understand that the bug was in the Ajax response and yes, I found a wrong permission there. "Post" instead "Vote". Please upload the attached file and let me know if it works.

If you mean action by Admin, you can delete any media type from it's "View Page". There is a "Delete" button on the right of the title.

They pulled from YouTUBE. The same for video thumbnails.
