Comments Too Fat for the Chimney

ctlsmite — Thu, 12 Jan 2006 13:24:19 +0000

The comments are overflowing the borders of the site. I've never seen this before. The commenter just added a 3-line comment and wham, all the comments in the photo album are broken.

Same Problem Here

click on large image and it opens in own window

shutterbug — Tue, 10 Jan 2006 20:01:54 +0000

Is there a way to fix this? This seems to be a very user friendly gallery setup, but just a few glitches that make it a problem. If I watermark my images, the visitor can still click on the large image and get the unwatermarked image.
This poses a big problem for those of us trying to protect our images. It also looks poorly to show a watermark image and you can click on it again and get an unprotected image. Kinda defeats the purpose. Any help fro kcoders out there would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Help with collections and albums

shutterbug — Sat, 07 Jan 2006 22:48:55 +0000

First, thanks for what seems to be a great photo gallery setup.
Now, if this is possible, please explain in easy terms as Im not a coder.
I created a collection with multiple albums, and would like to bypass the collection, so when a visitor comes to my gallery, they will see all the albums, and not have to click one collection thumbnail, and then enter the albums. Im trying to limit the amount of clicks to get to albums from main menu.
I am going to use joomla, and put gallery inside wrapper so the albums integrate smoothly with the site design. If I didnt explain this well, please let me know. Looking forward to hearing from you talented coders. Thanks in advance.

P.S. Also, I used the watermark mentioned in an earlier thread, and it works great. Thanks! However, I just noticed I can click on the large image, and it brings up the large image within wrapper without watermark. ???

next link on index not working

ozwds — Sat, 24 Dec 2005 23:56:57 +0000

Hi, this is a great script, but i found a bug.

I had set "Number of Thumbnails per Page: 9" and i have 11 collections, so on the gallery index page it shows " [1]2 » " . When I click on the link to go to page 2, the url shows: http://mysite.com/gallery/&page=2 and displays 404 page not found.

This only happens at the collection level and no at the album level.

I had read almost every thread in the forum and seens like not one reports this problem. I am sure if this is a bug. But please test and help.

Great script. Great work.

Integrated Plogger jumps out of its container - can that be avoided?

vallius — Sun, 01 Jan 2006 09:10:33 +0000

Hi all,
I have tried to integrate plogger into a page with a table. I follow the instructions and add the required lines at beginning of page, in head section, and the table cell where I want my photo gallery to appear. And it does!

However, when I enter an album, the gallery jumps out of its old container (the table cell) and opens up as a separate page.

How do I keep Plogger in its container when entering an album?

Best Regards, Vallius

Display Totals

T2 — Mon, 02 Jan 2006 08:40:18 +0000

Happy New Year Everybody!
Does anyone know if there's a code snippet I could incorperate into the plogger script that would display the total number of images currently in all collections of a gallery?

Many thanks,
T2

Getting rid of the "collections" level

cctval — Thu, 05 Jan 2006 15:55:39 +0000

I think this has been asked already, but I can't find the answer now ...

How would you get rid of the "collections" level in the breadcrumbs? Is it possible to start the breadcrumbs in the albums level?

This will make sense for a site that doesn't really have that many pictures as to justify more than one collection. In return, it provides users with faster access to the photos.

I would really appreciate your help, Cheers,

Cal

Watermarking photos

Textronics — Wed, 21 Dec 2005 03:17:56 +0000

I have this script in .php for watermarking my pictures, but can somebody please explain how i implement this???

(Please in layman very novice terms)

the link ........

http://www.sitepoint.com/print/watermark-images-php

i have also been told that i have to use something call "for loop" instead of ($_GET[ 'src' ] ) ;

Is this so?

The code:

header('content-type: image/jpeg');

$watermark = imagecreatefrompng('watermark.png');
$watermark_width = imagesx($watermark);
$watermark_height = imagesy($watermark);
$image = imagecreatetruecolor($watermark_width, $watermark_height);
$image = imagecreatefromjpeg($_GET['src']);
$size = getimagesize($_GET['src']);
$dest_x = $size[0] - $watermark_width - 5;
$dest_y = $size[1] - $watermark_height - 5;
imagecopymerge($image, $watermark, $dest_x, $dest_y, 0, 0, $watermark_width, $watermark_height, 100);
imagejpeg($image);
imagedestroy($image);
imagedestroy($watermark);

?>

The gallery i wish the photo's to be watermarked:

http://www.clairebaluci.com/gallery

Many thanks in advance.

Could Use Some Help Please

rjupiter — Thu, 05 Jan 2006 23:24:35 +0000

Well a bit ago my site got hacked and since then I have been trying to get it all back togther.

I am having a bit of a problem as I had done a good deal of modding to the gallery.php file but I since lost it and forgot how to do some stuff. So now I am a bit stuck and could use some help.

My (working) gallery -
http://www.22lies.com/plogger/

I have a few minor issues I am hoping someone know how to fix.

How do I fix it so that after you click a thumbnail and see the bigger image that the bigger image does not open in a new window or to full size image.

I would really appreciate the help.

E-mail Notifications of New Photos

ctlsmite — Fri, 16 Dec 2005 18:20:41 +0000

Is there any way to notify people of where there are new photos? Like a notifications e-mail list?

(an automated way of doing it, of course)

Ideas?

Just one directory ???

Textronics — Thu, 05 Jan 2006 16:01:39 +0000

Is it possible to get rid of the catergory and just have the albums?

It is a request my client asked me ...

SQL Error

iYummy — Thu, 05 Jan 2006 15:46:42 +0000

With my plogger site, when you order an album by number of comments in descending order and then click on a picture, i get the error

Unknown column 'num_comments' in 'order clause'

SELECT id FROM `plogger_pictures` WHERE parent_album = 5 ORDER BY `num_comments` DESC

I'm sure this is a simple fix just have to join the plogger_comments table to the current query, but thought i let you know

integrating with wordpress

vpahuja — Wed, 14 Sep 2005 20:15:28 +0000

I have been trying to integrate plogger beta 2 with wordpress 1.5.2 and been running into a lot of issues...

The way I am doing it is I create a wordpress page and then I have a template made for that page that I apply to that page.

I have been working around some my self but I can use some help for these issues:

1) Warnings that I am getting

OK, I know it says that it is a 3 line process but it has been a bit challenging for me to find which files those 3 lines need to go into in wordpress. I finally got some results by putting it in the themes index.php file but am getting following warning

Warning: session_start(): Cannot send session cache limiter - headers already sent (output started at /home/vpahuja/public_html/wp-content/themes/Blix/plogger.php:7) in /home/vpahuja/public_html/wp-gallery/plog-globals.php on line 5

Warning: session_start(): Cannot send session cache limiter - headers already sent (output started at /home/vpahuja/public_html/wp-content/themes/Blix/plogger.php:7) in /home/vpahuja/public_html/wp-gallery/plog-globals.php on line 5

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/vpahuja/public_html/wp-content/themes/Blix/plogger.php:7) in /home/vpahuja/public_html/wp-gallery/plog-load_config.php on line 26
/home/vpahuja/public_html//wp-gallery/gallery.php

The first warning suggests that I am starting a session again, so I commented out the specified line and I was able to get rid of the warning. Just want to make sure that can anyone think of any issues I might run because of commenting out that line?

I comment out the second line referenced in the warning and that seems to take care of it but just want to run by devs here?

2) Search

How can I integrate the plogger search with wordpress search? I do not want to see two search boxes in my page? I can probably find how to get rid of it, but will need some help integrating it with wordpress search functionality.

Can anybody give me any advice with this issue pls?

Integrating Plogger into Wordpress, Help!

Mrono — Wed, 04 Jan 2006 23:12:33 +0000

I need some help with integrating plogger into my site http://mrono.net/main, I found a walk through on how to do it in wordpress (Walkthrough http://phoenixrealm.com/2005/09/22/integrating-plogger/) I can't figure it out. I'm currently using Lazy-Gallery http://www.lazyboy.dk/wordpress/?page_id=14 and I was looking at the code for the theme i'm using http://teo.esuper.ro/download/testing/ and i can't find where you call the sidebar, normally it's in the index.php in the theme index but it's not there. I would really like some help with this, thank you Mainly just don't know, I don't know how to code php and this is very confusing for me, thanks in advance

unable to connect to database error

Wed, 04 Jan 2006 09:25:00 +0000

how do I determine what the cause of this error is ?

Plogger cannot connect to the database because: Access denied for user 'steve68_e107123l'@'localhost' (using password: YES)

the userid, password and database are all correct. This is after the installation and everything works... then I try to logon with the user/password and I get this error message.

Cannot Upload Images Due To Hosts

eiffel — Tue, 20 Dec 2005 07:48:18 +0000

I've been having problems since the initial install with uploading images.

What happens is that i go through the upload page, click 'upload' and nothing happens. The yellow message box at the is empty and nothing else about the site has changed. No upload. The import page works fine though.

From other posts on this site, I've tried putting

error_reporting(E_ALL);

at the top of my globals.php. This gave me this php error:

Warning: rename(): open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/tmp/phpCnQApk) is not within the allowed path(s): (/home/mydomain/public_html) in /home/mydomain/public_html/plogger/admin/plog-admin-functions.php on line 62

The open_basedir error ran a bell from my hosts supanames.co.uk as I've had problems installing other php software (oscommerce) on their servers before.

I tracked this down again to this page:

http://www.supanames.com/support/open_basedir.html

which states:

If you experience the open_basedir security message when using an image upload script we recommend that you change any copy() commands found within the script to the command move_uploaded_file().

So, I uncommented line 59 in plog-admin-functions.php and commented line 60, like so:

if (!move_uploaded_file($tmpname,$final_fqfn)) {
// if (!rename($tmpname,$final_fqfn)) {
$result['errors'] .= 'Could not move file! ' . $tmpname .' to '.$final_fqfn;
return $result;
};

And now the upload page works.

But the import page doesn't.

Does anyone know what i can do to get around my hosts restrictions so that i can have both upload and import pages working. Or do i have to chose one or the other?

Problems with the paths

qrczak — Wed, 04 Jan 2006 04:51:53 +0000

Hi all

On the server I have two folders. First with plogger (including all plogger files and folders with imeges and thumbs), second with index.php. And I wonna show gallery in index.php. At the beginning I change in gallery.php (in plogger folder) baseurl to $baseurl = "http://path/to/plogger/folder/"; and now I can see div formating (I mean in head section there are correct path to css files in plogger folder) but thumbs are't show. I don't know where I have to change gallery.php to correct path. I was try change $path = $parts["path"]; to $path = "http://path/to/plogger/folder/"; but this don't works.
Can anyone tell me something about this problem.

p.s.
Sorry for my poor english, it's not my native language.

Got Hacked!!

rjupiter — Sun, 25 Dec 2005 06:56:52 +0000

I was running the new 2.1 version of plogger and I decided to do some work on my layout when I noticed my galleries would not load. I looked in my FTP and found odd graphic , php and hrml files. So now I have to start all over again and reinstall everything. :(

The security fix (in my case) did not work.

Feature Request: Preserve Uploads Option

skeeboo — Tue, 03 Jan 2006 22:34:24 +0000

I upload a lot of images to my Plogger by FTP. Every now and then I'd like to put it more than one album. After images are imported from the Uploads folder, the script auto-deletes/moves the files from there. So I just upload the images I want to appear in other albums.

So my suggestion is this. How about adding a checkbox/option on the Import page next to images being imported called "Do not delete from Uploads folder" or "Leave copy in Uploads". Something to that effect. Naturally it would be unchecked by default, but it would save some time for those of us that want some images to appear elsewhere without having to re-upload. It would just be a matter of clicking Import again and re-importing the image into another section.

Keep up the great work on the script.

Album Hierarchy - Adding More?

rjupiter — Sun, 01 Jan 2006 19:32:14 +0000

Hi -

I am trying to rebuild my site after it got hacked and in doing so decided to reorganize a bit.

But as I was doing this I noticed something. I am trying to order my stuff in a ceratin way and I thought plogger could do it but I don't know.

Example:

Under the "manage" tab andin "collections" I have one "photography" now in photography I have the album "babies series" now I want to be able to put another album or step down in the babies series album so it would go like this -

Photography>Babies Series>Tribal (images go in tribal)

but when I click on the ablum "babies" all it does is tell me the table is empty. Is there something I can do to get more albums inside albums (if this makes any sense?)

Thanks

a couple of pointers for a new layout pls

puk — Fri, 30 Dec 2005 20:50:20 +0000

Hey guys, well i want a new layout for a site i'm making and want to go down the css route, i really have had enough of tables in this life but i'd quite like a couple of pointers from you peeps, if you can help.

Basically i want a simple lookin site, just want a header, plogger in the middle and a footer, but its drivin me nuts, i'm sure the css isn't hard to do it but thinkin lack of sleep and working dodgy hours have inhibited my thought train.

I want the main div, the one with the images/gallery within to enlarge with larger pics upto a certain size, whence it'll become scrollable, but the footer is still below it.

Whats the best way to go about this, do it with a index.php file or alter the gallery.php file and add the divs within the code, so the footer always follows the size of the gallery and the main containing div always keeps the right size?

I'm just a bit confused and wonderin which way to attack this.

cheers

power mode problem

roos — Sat, 31 Dec 2005 08:35:09 +0000

I just switched from php safe mode to power mode and now when I try to access my plogger gallery (working perfectly before the switch) I get a 500 Internal Server Error.

How do I fix this? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

How to show both thumbnails and big picture at same time?

cctval — Thu, 29 Dec 2005 16:15:56 +0000

Has anybody figured out how to keep the thumbnails at the picture level?

This would allow use of thumbnails as navigation, like in this example
(I know this site uses flash, but I just want you to see the layout)

It would be awesome if we could do that!!

Include directly to album

wesburke — Thu, 29 Dec 2005 14:03:44 +0000

Hey guys,

Just wanted to first say, that so far my experience with Plogger has been great and installed with little snags. I have 2 questions on customizing/integration.

Is it possible to mod the include statment to go directly to an album? Without users going through a few clicks to get directly to the gallery?

Second question: ;) Is there an add-on or mod that I might be able to have the public submit photos to this gallery?

Thanks in advance and here is a link to what I have integrated so far ;)

http://www.lifeofpugs.com/gallery/index.php
