Geeklog Forums

Quote by machinari: Actually this sortof one of the reasons I put the albums outside the doc root. Images are read into the page via a PHP script (start of solution) and that script requires proper access (user validation or as you say, mod_rewrite in an .htaccess, which is the rest of the solution). This way hotlinking doesn't work.

Quote by Rustifer: I was looking for something "better" than the 120x140px picture upload that GL used; something that took five pics or so and could resize to something appropriate AND could pop up a bigger window on click.

Quote by machinari: I'll deal with that when I'm done
ok
done
cool
good idea--will do
Thanks
You'll have to explain what "linking" is
Many sites like yahoo have made it were people can not use your site as a photo host. They well get a X or a add from the host
you want integration into the "whats new block"?
Yes 1 of the problems with gallery is when you make a hack for the whats new block.
There has always been a problem with it reading changes to Sub-albums.
And the few that did find a way ended up breaking Geeklog security and showing link/pics to photos that they was not suppose to have access to.
per album themes will be available
sweet...
Users who are given access (via a group or otherwise) are able to create and edit their own albums. They can also moderate any submissions to their albums if any.
But can it get out of hand and they make a bunch of galleries were they make it look trashy. See in Gallery you can give them a Album and what they do in that 1 album, who really cares. lol but if there doing it to the main index. That can become a problem for some people that abuse the right.
Haven't done it yet, but on the list. You'll ftp your stuff, but you wont see it until the "scan dirs" button is clicked on the album management page--at least that's my plan so far.
thats cool
sort options are available from the album editor.
I think I well have to see it and see how it works on the site
I don't agree that this is practical, but if you want to convince me, go for it.
3 good reason
1. If there is a fluke with the site. Say some newbie or even a plug-in submitted a delete command for a/all users. lol It's easy to back up a database. But not a gig website from an ftp
2.The user somehow hit the delete account button thinking it was save. (It happened 3 times this month lol)
3.For some reason the owner of the site liked the pick. And don't want to lose them. But also don't want to copy every pic they like, that a user submits.
Just for good messier
4. We always run into new problems. This may save a site 1 day. lol
the archive concept notwithstanding, a deleted user's albums will be deleted.
I haven't begun with the comment engine yet, but will encorporate gl's comment api's. When I get there I'll look at some type of notification--won't be email.
I prefer a block that tells them like private messenger.
You may even want to add a function for people with PM.
Like how the forum well now PM you instead of email if you want.
I'll add something to the profile page, not sure what yet. maybe just links to latest media uploads or recently modified albums.
Thats fine. If we want it deferent. The function is there.
We can edit it
