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.

One More Thing I Just Noticed Playing with the Options: On UMG Home, on the List of "Newest Images / Medias", the medias don't organize themselves in rows but occupy as much columns as Number of Medias are chosen to be displayed on "Ultimate Media Gallery - Global" Options; is important for you to set another Option for Max. number of Columns to use to Display the "Newest Thumbnails"; you provide the option for "Number of newest thumbnails to display on index", so you'll calculate the number of rows as you do with the Option "Thumbnail Columns of the Category Display" to Display the Medias on the Categories and the option for "Number of Thumbnails" which are the ones Displayed per page on each Category. I also noticed that the First Column of the "Newest Images / Medias" (for that First New Media) gets affected and Visually not Good when Choosing few New Medias to Display, you'll see that the width is Way Larger than the other Ones, they don't distribute nor get centered when there are too few to be Displayed.

I Hope you can include that on your Next Update, Coroner.

My Best Regards.

Furst, the post before - I understand and it's in Upgrade.

And this QUOTE - sorry, don't understand what you mean
You can set the number of images/medias to display. And this is what it shows.
Did you mean rows/columns ?

In my case, if I set more than 5 Thumbnails/Medias to Display on UMG Home then they're presented on the same row (getting out of the screen). I can see that You've Limited on your Code the Display of Maximum 9 Thumbnails (Random at the Top and Newest at the Bottom of the Page), but in my case with more than 5 they get out of the screen (the Newest); I'd also be nice not to limit the Number of Newest Medias/Thumbnails to Display (in case someone wishes to Display more than 9).

My Best Regards.

That worked perfectly! Thank you!

That said, I tried your suggestion for making a text editor appear with text already inside, and I realise I didn't properly explain what I meant.

What I wanted to do - and still want to do - is make it so that the "Description" WYSIWYG editor on the upload page appears with text already inside. Is that possible?

Also, I notice that the text editor on that page doesn't have WYSIWYG enabled by default. Is there a way I can toggle that?

I apologise for asking so many questions, and I'm grateful for any help you can provide. If I can do anything in return, let me know.

Thanks,
Dan

Texteditor in Upload-form.

search in umg_upload.php

$vbulletin->userinfo['showvbcode'] = 1;
$editorid = construct_edit_toolbar ('', $umg_html_allowed, 'nonforum', $umg_smilie_allowed, 12345678 + $vbulletin->GPC['c']);

and change into

$vbulletin->userinfo['showvbcode'] = 2;
$editorid = construct_edit_toolbar ('your text here', $umg_html_allowed, 'nonforum', $umg_smilie_allowed, 12345678 + $vbulletin->GPC['c']);

I'm Testing the Last Version 1.4.4, Coroner.

So Far Ok. I've Noticed that You Corrected the Main Page Presentation of the Videos (To be able to Present more than 5 Videos, the Only Thing is that the Left Videos's Tables are Wider than the others) and the FLV Player Runs Ok Now. :up::up::up:

I've noticed that on Template "umg_usercp_category" is Still the Sentence "?do=usercp" that is Causing the Problem to Create Categories, so I Quote Again your Solution for this so that Forumers Using your Mod can Solve that Problem (if it presents it self on their Boards) :

Search the template "umg_usercp_category" and locate this line:
<form action="umg.php?do=usercp" method="post">

pls change it into:
<form action="umg.php" method="post">

I Installed Overwriting the Files and Also Overwriting the Old Product on ACP Product Import.

My Best Regards. I'll Keep Testing and I'll Share You Anything I Find.

There are some Bugs on the Comments System, Coroner:

When Posting the Comments via Quick Reply to the Medias on WYSIWYG Editor Mode, the Post is made with HTML Code and Displayed like this :

<P>Prueba 2</P>
<P> </P>
<P></P>

And the Signatures Pics Below are Always Displayed Like This, No Matter the Editor Mode :



On Normal Mode the Posts are made Ok, but the Signature Pics are Not Displayed Well .

The Complete Reply with the Complete Editor has a Bug when on WYSIWYG mode, when Entering a Reply that is too Short and Going Back to Change it, it Shows HTML Code.

Also on Complete Reply when on Normal Editor the Mod Allows Postings of Any Lenght Even if is too Short .

I Hope You Can Fix those Bugs (I'll Keep Testing).

My Best Regards.

[Coroner]

Thx for testing, will take a look and try to fix it.

[inciarco]

I'm Glad To Help.

I Like This Mod a Lot, being able to Upload Medias (Audio, Video and also Images) is Very Useful for Many Purposes. :up:

I forgot to mentione it on my Previous Posts, I think the Option Menus would look nicer Centered; I tried it and Found the Template to do it, I share the part of that Template where I applied/added the Code to Center the Options/Titles/Texts:

Template umg_main:

$gal_active
$gallery_random
<table cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" class="tborder" style="width:100%">
 <tr>
  <td class="thead" align="center">$vbphrase[umg_title]</td>
 </tr>
 <tr>
  <td class="alt1" align="center">$vbphrase[umg_navigation]</td>
 </tr>
</table>
<div class="tborder" style="padding:1px; border-top-width:0px" align="center">

I added the Three (3) align="center" Codes to Center the Three Rows of the Table that Contains the Title, the Navigation Text, and the Menus.

My Best Regards, Coroner.

[Coroner]
