Major Features

Multiple Instances You can run an unlimited number instances of the gallery on the same forum with same set of files! Each instance can have a different look and feel to it, and with enough work can have a completely different function because of the system we built it on.

AJAX integration We used AJAX wherever we could to help reduce the page reloads

Automatic resizing and thumbnail creation As long as your server can handle it, the users can upload whatever size pictures they want. The gallery will control the size displayed and stored, and will even create a thumbnail, all automatically. Users no longer have to worry about resizing their images to fit what your forum specifies. If you do not have a server with the power to resize images (GD image library can get pretty memory intensive) then you can set the gallery to reject images that do not fit into your size criteria.

User Albums Users can create their own image albums to organize and display sets of their images. Albums can also be set to hidden and/or password protected. So users who want to have images for only certain friends or not visible to anyone else at all can easily organize them.

Do you have another mod that creates folders? Creating a folder and setting it's permissions are way different creating/uploading a file.

I want to try doing it a different way, the host setup might be interfering with how I'm doing it. This will only work if you're using 1.2.4 though, your postbit is still saying 1.1.3.

Can you try uploading the attached file to dbtech/gallery/includes and overwriting the old one? After that, upload an image from an account that hasn't done so, or delete the folders for the one you test with. Let me know how that works for you.

Works Perfect! Tried it twice with no problems. I also noticed that after I saved the image it no longer left me on the page with just 2 save boxes on it. Now it takes me back to the album page. Thank you for that.

Here is what I get when I try to upload too large of a file. This one is 1.46 mb. Many may not understand it when they receive it.




This is the warning I get when I try to upload a 4.6mb image.

Could you send me a copy of those images? GD is quite a memory hog but even then, a 1.4MB image shouldn't be trying to take that much memory to process. I'll pm you my email address.

Those images were sent to you. Thanks.

How can a user go back and edit an image that has already been uploaded to a album? Like change the picture's name. I'm sorry I can't seem to find this.

Display Next/Previous is causing issues..

From this: (when disabled)


To this: (when enabled)


Using screen resolution: 1280x1024

By zooming out on the page, it works fine. But not on this resolution.

Also.. "Gallery Layout: New Style" is also having issues:

[k6rikko]

Hi all, most is working fine but i have a small problem.

by viewing pictures normally its resized to fit the page and the enlarge Button is shown for full view.

The enlarge button is only showed on non logged in users and if i loged in us admin .
Normal registred users dont see the button,
and the picture is always full sized and override the page.

How to solve this ? Was checking / trying all kinds of options and permissions
but nothing solved it.

[ejbreeze]

Thanks to FF|Skyrider snapshot I see my posted problem of not being able to edit a picture. It is because the new syle left out the edit picture button. When I switched to vb style I now see the edit button. This works for me....Thanks. Mine shows correctly with the next/previous on with vb style but the right border does run into the text a bit.

DBTech is working on single column layout options for both styles that will alleviate these overrun issues.

Sorry it's taken me a bit on this. The 1.4MB image you gave me has a very large resolution. it has a resolution of 3264px X 1952px. The total memory that would be taken to process that image is 25MB, and with vB having a 10MB overhead, that breaks your 32MB limit. btw, the default PHP5 limit is set to 128MB, so your host throttled that down a lot.

Also, the larger image, it sounds like you have the default 2MB for the max upload/post size, which is tiny by today's standards.

If you can get your host to increase those limits it'll take care of both of these problems. I'm trying to code in some error checking to take care of the first problem for my next bugfix release but the second problem is kind of out of my hands.

You can see what your set limits are by going to your ACP -> Gallery -> Gallery System page.
