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.

Hey Coroner,

Just curious if you can iron out the issues with the vbgallery import script you have.

Thanks.

[Vindicator]

great system. Installed without issue. Got a few bugs.

1. Uploading video media completes without error but never shows up in UMG
2. Upload count doesnt represent what you actually see when you click on the category (no subs)

Here's the link if you want to peek - http://www.skylineowners.com/forum/umg.php?


Cheers Coroner - Never easy supporting a new mod release!

[Vindicator]

I found a few of these errors in my apache error log

PHP Warning: Call-time pass-by-reference has been deprecated - argument passed by value; If you would like to pass it by reference, modify the declaration of umg_get_mother_categories(). If you would like to enable call-time pass-by-reference, you can set allow_call_time_pass_reference to true in your INI file. However, future versions may not support this any longer. in <removedactualpath>/forum/umg_gallery/umg_actions.php on line 109

Hope that helps.

Installed this and it shows up in the admin cp but not anywhere on my forums. No link in the navbar. I can manually go to the link for it but it says I don't have permission. I set the permissions in the usergroup manager but they don't stay saved. Any ideas?

Permissions are vB standard. Maybe uninstall and reinstall will help

[Vindicator]

5 categories. (2 for pictures, 2 for videos, 1 for both). None of them are nested, all top level categories.

Just realised I hadn't set permissions up to allow you access. I've done that now. You can upload ( <5mb ) to the public gallery if you want to check what happens.

[Coroner]

yes, please

I didn't realize it created an additional custom usergroup. I kept deleting that usergroup. It appears to work now but it won't let me create a public gallery category though. It makes it private.

[Coroner]

Ok, to create a public gallery.

Go into the UserCP (umg).
Do you have two links of "Categories" ?
If so, use the 2nd link - if not, go into the AdminCP - Usergroups and set you Usergroup to UMG-Admin and check it out again.
