Has anyone figured out a way to allow the members to browse all the photos in one place?
Now they have to view all members, then click on the individual account, I want them to be able to browse all the pictures, regardless of whose they are.
Great hack, but I have a feature request.
* It would be nice if it were possible to set watermark on/off per usergroup.
* A comment line per picture would be nice as well, so members can describe the picture if they wish.
Also I had some probs with transparent png and resizing/watermarks that it didn't retain the transparancy.
Update: I'm having problems uploaden pictures bigger than a 1000 pixels ... it gives the users a white page without an error, but pic is not uploaden. Config settings allows uploaden of 1280*1280 pictures and filesizes are a lot smaller than the allowed size. Any ideas?
I have installed this hack for 3.6.0 and i totally love it.
Just one little question: I would like to have the userlist to be members only
Could you tell me where I should add what code, where to achieve that?
It would totally rock if we could get it members only
For the people that are suffering bandwidth theft please save the following code to be sure the picture files are only valid on it's own domain (on any other it will result in a nice red-crossed failure)
change yourdomain.com with your domain and save as.htacces
upload the file to the picture's directory on your domain
