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.

Looks like a great add-on Coroner!

Just a quick question, is it possible to search for photos taken with certain cameras? (ie get the info from the exif data if embeded)

So if a photo is taken with a Nikon D300 and it's in the exif data will people be able to find that photo in a search? (whilst searching for 'Nikon D300').

Cheers!

You can't search for exif data.
to do this, you need to store all the informations (and this could be a lot) into the database.

[Razasharp]

Ok thanks...

How about being able to search for more than one tag?

So if a thread is tagged:

Nikon, D300

And someone searches for 'Nikon D300' - that thread comes up. Is this possible (or something you can add for the next release?).

[Coroner]

*storedinbrain*
good idea

[Razasharp]

Thanks! Look forward to it

Fixed my issue. I'm officially a noob. The media type I was uploading was not enabled for the group. By default the group is only given 3 media types instead of all of them?? Maybe this should be changed to enable all by default?? May be a good reason not to though!

Anyway, my uploading media files issue is solved!

Thanks.

Nominated MOTM too

Next issue

The uploads column on the home page is showing double the actual. If I have one image/media file it shows "2" uploads. If I have two it shows "4" uploads.

Also, the Gallery statistics at the bottom are blank. They were working but no they are not!?

[Vindicator]

I'm going to reinstall, it's just not working right. I can no longer administer any categories, images etc etc. I've checked permissions but something is off. When I go to Administration - Categories it opens and shows the public categories. At the top however it says Private categories (which I have disabled for everyone). All it will let me do is edit existing categories, from the admincp or anywhere. Have tried reinstalling the product, but no change. :-(

Just reading through all the posts here to find any answers.

[Vindicator]

Wow, I've messed with this for a few hours and it's seems to be just full of bugs on my site.

1. Statistics at the bottom of the page works 5-10% of the time
2. Administer (add specifically) Categories function is intermittent to never working.
3. Some media files (wmv for sure) don't expand to the full size of the window so appear squashed.

I'm happy to work with you Coroner to resolve these issues, because I really like this product. Right now though, I can't let me users loose on it.

Is the Pro version any more stable, because it's worth the €44 if it works!
