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.

firstly thx for the mod. Great stuff!

Cannot seem to get the showing on the Category Page - VIEW

I have the path set properly and after I add a video a new image appears in /photos/thumbs but it is the same generic thumb image on all. If I click on the thumb then it does play the correct video or Photo - photo thumbs work fine!

Any help would be appreciated

Your server path is not right.

/home/zdakzcvbmbx/public_html/mysite.com/mediagallery/photos

You have to make sure your hosting path...for it to work.

I am pretty sure the code for grabbing the youtube thumbnails has broken somewhat in the newer updates. I just tried adding about 15 youtube videos to test this and not one fetched the thumbnail.

Thumbs work just fine for uploading regular images and such. It's only for the Youtube stuff. You also said you can add your own youtube thumbnail but I don't see that option anywhere when I click edit on a youtube addition to the gallery.

Assuming that you've correct the follow 2 values:

1. YouTUBE id and NOT the full URL in the video that you post
2. The server path to .../mediagallery/photos

it's easy to find if its the mod's error or YouTUBE error. In details:

YouTUBE has some links for retrieving the video's thumb. The URL looks like:
https://i3.ytimg.com/vi/...YouTUBEid...resdefault.jpg

The last is the type of thumb. In this case is Maximum Resolution. Other possible values are:

• hqdefault.jpg for High Quality
• mqdefault.jpg for Medium Quality ...and...
• sddefault.jpg for Standard Definition

Most often the last one (even in not so good quality) works:
https://i3.ytimg.com/vi/...YouTUBEid...../sddefault.jpg

If you want to use this type, you can change media_usercp.php line 374:
From:

$videourl = 'https://i3.ytimg.com/vi/'.$video.'/maxresdefault.jpg';

Change to:

$videourl = 'https://i3.ytimg.com/vi/'.$video.'/sddefault.jpg';

Do you have the other media library installed? I'm thinking there is a conflict.

I thing i found, while posting ,at the entering the "keywords" if you try to put 2 words,will not let you !
It only works if i copy and paste "my city" then comma and the next keyword.

The normal for Tags and Keywords is: One word. Anyway try something that most probably will works. Edit Templates:
- mediagallery_search_block
- mediagallery_addedit (2 Times)


Change:

<script>
	$(document).ready(function(){
		$("#tags").tag({
			width: '90%',						
			height: 50,
			inputName: 's_keywords',
			key: ['enter', 'space', 'comma'],
			clickRemove: true
		});
		{vb:raw addtags}
	});
</script>

To:

<script>
	$(document).ready(function(){
		$("#tags").tag({
			width: '90%',						
			height: 50,
			inputName: 's_keywords',
			key: ['enter', 'comma'],
			clickRemove: true
		});
		{vb:raw addtags}
	});
</script>

Now when user hits spaces will not becomes tag. Tag should be after hitting Enter or Comma.

For me it looks like a mess with SEO rules.

If possible later to add pictures in bulk? highlight 10-20 and upload?! possible?

Thanks

1.- There is no BC. There is only BL or BR but setting the distance from left border you can do it. I'm not designer but I think that you can set: 50%

2.- No. Because it does not supports Albums. Only in Albums you can add bulk images. Here you must upload one by one and enter a description for each one.

Yeah, these are the rewrite rules for one of the other libraries and this is my issue. I love your mod Nick but do not want to lose the media already posted with the other library and apparently I cannot use both.
