[RELEASE vB 2.0.1] Image Gallery v1.0

[Zamtil]

Instructions in the ZIP file (gallery.txt). Should explain most details of installation. I haven't done an INSTALL from scratch, so you get to beta test that part of the program.

The gallery itself seems quite stable. I added some load limiting/checking options before releasing as well. Let me know how your installs go, features you'd like to see, etc.

If you want to see an example:

Didn't realize how much GIFs sucked.

Hadn't really explored the differences between JPG and GIF. I figured the files were so small, that file size wouldn't be much difference.. boy was I wrong. This is an updated copy that uses JPEG compression instead of GIF. If you've already install this hack, just replace the files, use a SQL tool to "DELETE FROM thumb" and rerun admin/gallerymakethumbs.php.

In the future I may make thumbnail type a config option, but when I saw 20k thumbnails go to 3-5k, I decided quality was a mute point.

The main change is this line in functions.php:

system("$galleryconvert -geometry '160x120>' $path GIF:$thumbname"); 

to

system("$galleryconvert -geometry '160x120>' $path -quality '75' JPEG:$thumbname");

It's the exact buttons from the vBulletin 2.0 graphics development kit. I just edited one of the top_ templates and the find template. Changed the word to gallery. Actually, I didn't even save the Photoshop version, just the exported GIFs.

Yep, you're right. The ZIP is now: JPEG thumbnails + thumb.php. About 8 people got ahold of the original GIF version, I'd suggest switching to this.

Anyone have it working yet? =)

Would like to see it on someone else's site, post URL please.

problem...

Hey, great hack, but I'm having problems.

Parse error: parse error in /usr/local/xxxxxx/httpdocs/admin/galleryinstall.php on line 17

Looks ok to me, but I keep getting this.

Change line 17 to this:

$DB_site->query("INSERT INTO setting VALUES (NULL,$groupid,'Pages to show in nav bar','gallerynavpages','5','','',1)"); 

Looks like there's an extra ") at the end of the line in the released file.

great that worked but...

Got a new one:

Warning: Division by zero in /usr/xxxxx/httpdocs/gallery.php on line 108

Should there be an "@" somewhere in there?

[mojotim]

never mind...

I had the Gallery Load Limit
set to the default. I erased the value and the error does not come up now.

[mojotim]

um, I must be screwing something up here

Check out this attachement and tell me if something should be in the filedata, value box.

I also go to the /gallery.php and see no attachments. I see nothing but the blank template.

[mojotim]

here is what the gallery.php page looks like

Here is the entire substance of my gallery.php page.

[Zamtil]

Have you run yourforums.com/admin/gallerymakethumbs.php? It should spit out a list of file names for all the JPG/BMP/GIFs it finds in your existing attachment table.

[mojotim]

yeah, got a nice blank page

I had to modify it a little:

makeThumb($thumb[attachmentid], $thumb[filename], $filename);
unlink($filename);
set_time_limit();
}
?>

notice the change of set_time_limit();

I'm using safe mode php so it didn't like that.

Anyhoo, I get a blank page. I have attachments, I even (just now) posted a new attachment and ran gallerymakethumbs.php.
Still the blank page.
