Announcement - Subversion/Trac changes

ryanduff — Tue, 12 Jan 2010 16:06:10 -0500

To make things better for the community, we've decided to break the translations out of subversion and move them to their own repository. This will help unclutter the main repo as well as allow for granular permissions. Once we get the permission system worked out, individual translators will be able to manage their language files for each version of Plogger that is released.

Unfortunately, because of this I had to clean up our URL structure for plogger.org. The new repositories and trac environments are as follows:

Plogger Core
-http://core.svn.plogger.org
-http://core.trac.plogger.org

Plogger Translations
-http://translations.svn.plogger.org
-http://translations.trac.plogger.org

Due to the change from dev to trac, I have set up a redirect from http://dev.plogger.org to http://core.trac.plogger.org for anybody that might have old links.

As far as moving the subversion repository, if you have a local copy, you'll need to update the path. This can be done by using the relocate command in subversion. Assuming you have a check out of /trunk, the command would be as follows:

svn switch --relocate http://svn.plogger.org/trunk http://core.svn.plogger.org/trunk

Announcement - new stable version (Plogger 1.0-RC1) released!

sidtheduck — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 11:33:20 -0400

Just a quick announcement to all you Plogger users out there that we just released the new stable release candidate of Plogger, Plogger 1.0-RC1! For those of you using SVN versions, this is revision 606, so if you have an older revision, you may want to upgrade to the latest.

The Install and Upgrade pages have been updated as well to show the updated process for installing a fresh version or upgrading your existing version (the same information can be found, as always, in the readme of the download as well). We look forward to hearing your feedback and remember to report any bugs you find to the Trac pages!

Important-- Security Update for 1.0b3 users (a.k.a. Version 3.0 Beta)

ryanduff — Mon, 18 Aug 2008 16:41:12 -0400

If you're using version 1.0b3, there was a security vulnerability that has been found and publicly disclosed. We were notified after it was found and the problem has been corrected.

I ported changes back to version 1.0b3 for those not running current SVN. They can be found here. There are two changed files: plog-download.php and plog-remote.php (both found in the root folder). Replacing those files with those in the zip file will fix the issue.

For those running SVN, the changes were committed in r569 so as long as you've updated past that revision, you should be covered.

The download on the main page also has the updated files if you would like the whole package.

Plogger restructured - at SVN revision 550

sidtheduck — Sat, 28 Jun 2008 13:54:52 -0400

Just an FYI to everyone who is thinking of downloading / testing the SVN trunk of Plogger, we have just completed a restructure of Plogger to make it easier for future upgrades, fixing mod_rewrite naming issues, as well as a few other issues that needed working out. Please note that as of revision 550, the structure no longer remains the same and upgrading (at this point) from previous versions has not been documented or finalized (but it will be soon! ;) ).

If you are looking to use the bug fixes for Beta 3.0 from the SVN trunk, please download using the following link ( <= revision 549 is prior to the restructure).
Please let us know if you have any questions.
Thanks.

Plogger version naming explanation

sidtheduck — Fri, 05 Sep 2008 13:59:01 -0400

Just a clarification on Plogger versions to hopefully clear up confusion.

Previous releases of Plogger have been (from newest on top to oldest on bottom):
(1.0) beta 3.0
(1.0) beta 2.1
(1.0) beta 2
(1.0) beta 1

Plogger is still in the Beta phase and has not yet reached a full release (but we hope to soon). The "1.0" in the above versions was implied because an official "full release" is still pending. When the full release comes out it will be Plogger 1.0. The confusion (I believe) started with the security-fix, sub-release of beta 2.1. This version was released to fix a security vulnerability, but did not change much else to the code. Since then, the sub-release numbering of the beta release has been added (the x.0).

So to clear things up, when people are referring to "beta 3.0", "3.0", or "3.0 beta" at this point are actually referring to 1.0b3 (version 1.0 beta release 3). ryanduff has put together a Version Numbering Standards page on the development wiki.

Again, we are sorry for the confusion and will try to be more consistent with our terminology from this point on. Thanks.

How to report bugs and/or create tickets (Please read)

ryanduff — Thu, 03 Apr 2008 17:00:03 -0400

Recently, we opened up bug / ticket reporting to everyone again. If you find a bug in Plogger and it seems to be with the Plogger software and not some weird site configuration we request that you submit a ticket. These items should be kept out of the forums so that they can accurately be tracked and fixed. If you can reproduce the error multiple times, it should be considered a bug. When reporting a bug, please follow this procedure:

1. Check http://dev.plogger.org/report/1 to see if any open tickets match your error/problem
2. If something does match, you can read the bug report to see current status as well as add any notes from your own case
3. If nothing matches, you can submit a new ticket http://dev.plogger.org/newticket. You will need to login using your username / password from the forum (they are linked together).
4. Please note as much detailed information as possible. Also, check back to your ticket in case a developer needs more information or has questions regarding your ticket.
5. If using Beta 3, please note 1.0b3 in the version drop down
6. If you have something to contribute to a bug or ticket, create a patch file and attach it to the ticket for testing. One or more of the developers will test the patch and if everything looks fine, they will commit it to the SVN core.
(note: if you are interested in the Plogger ticket workflow, you can view it here)

Plogger hacked - rootkit installed and found reports about path disclosure vulnerability

Faken — Sat, 03 Mar 2012 09:52:55 -0500

Been using Plogger for many years and love it, but I am having an issue with one of my installed. It would appear that my plogger install of V1 RC1 has been hacked and the hacker was able to upload a rootkit to the plogger folder /gallery/thumbs/r0ck.Php

I started looking around and found several links to the following information:

http://www.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/securityfocus/bugtraq/2011-04/msg00108.html

But I'm not finding any solution and in all honesty I am just guessing that this is what happened. Has anyone else experienced this or at least know how I can go about plugging this issue? I'm not a coder so I wouldn't even be able to guess how to fix this sort of thing.

Thanks,
Dan

Increase the size of the album description input box

markc0923 — Tue, 16 Aug 2011 23:18:55 -0400

So I set up plogger for a friend and he loves it EXCEPT... he puts long album descriptions for each album. He hates the fact he can't see the entire description.

Is there anyway to convert the line when description to a box, or at least where all the characters are visible?

Thanks

No respond on collection, album, and uploading

cheeping87 — Wed, 14 Dec 2011 03:16:08 -0500

Hi everyone, I am looking for help on installation.

Plogger working well in my local machine after I fixed all of the bug, such as eregi()... blah blah blah.
However, when I am uploading to web hosting server, everything screw up. After finish installation, uploading is not working, collection and album cannot be created. If there is error, it will be shown, but it just do not process and create collection and album. Anyone encounter similar problem? Hope can get some help from here

Adding subtitles under the thumbnails.

Fri, 09 Dec 2011 00:13:10 -0500

I have been able to install the Plogger Gallery script and populate it with over 90 ultraviolet wood fluorescence photos. To show you further what it looks like so far, you can view
the site at http://www.woodsoftheworld.org/uv_gallery/index.php?level=album&id=2
At first, it seemed that I would be able to add subtitles below each thumbnail ---> but now no such function is provided (not one that I can find anyway). The photos may look "nice" as they are but are of little use unless I can get the names of each species in as subtitles under each thumbnail. How can I do that now? Perhaps is there an SQL file I can
drop them right in the file? What table, what column name? ... or else how can I do this.

Also, I need to customize the appearance of the pages to fit in with a true wood theme as in the rest of the website (www.woodsoftheworld.org). I could not find a traditional layout of header and body. For the background I would consider placing a background colour of a dark violet or midnight blue (much like the deep purple of a uv lamp).
How can I at least do that much?

This is my first time on your forum ..... so I do not know if I will be notified of a posting by my email. Just in case any of you would care to help via regular email, my address is billmudry@rogers.com. If I can just get those titles added and a bit of customization on the appearance, I will have a whole new neat addition to this wood knowledge base :-).
I look forward to any assistance you can give.

Install Issue: .plogger_pictures' doesn't exist

plogfan — Sat, 03 Dec 2011 10:17:35 -0500

MySQL client version: 5.0.51a
PHP Version 5.2.17

1. Downloaded the latest install (Version 1.0 RC1, 700 kbs)
2. Changed folder name to photo_gallery and uploaded to server.
3. Created new database
4. CHMOD the content directory to 777
5. Ran installer
6. MYSQL errors having to do with timestamp and TYPEISAM

To make a long story short ------ I'll leave out the 2 days of trial and error, several rain dances, and tell you what worked for me.

Searched forums ---
http://www.plogger.org/forum/discussion/3734/
and applied the following fixes ------

a. So you should go to plog-admin\includes\install-functions.php and replace all occurences of "Type=MyISAM" with "Engine=MyISAM" (there should be like 8 of those)

Then the timestamp needs to be changed

b. install-functions.php (rows 376, 377) file and change:

`date_modified` timestamp(14) NOT NULL,
`date_submitted` timestamp(14) NOT NULL,
to:
`date_modified` timestamp NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP ON UPDATE CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
`date_submitted` timestamp NOT NULL DEFAULT '0000-00-00 00:00:00',

c. Delete Database. Recreate fresh Database. Reinstall fresh plogger files to server.

The first few times -- this didn't work ---- I still got TIMESTAMP errors and was unable to login to admin.
Error: PLOGGER_PICTURES TABLE DOES NOT exist messages.

On checking the database -- there was no plogger_pictures table created. Aha! That explains it.

I checked install_functions.php
and made sure the TIMESTAMP syntax was correct in the:

maybe_add_table(
PLOGGER_TABLE_PREFIX.'pictures'

Note: Through the whole process, I was in constant contact with my hosting tech support. It helps to let them know what you are doing.
For me, a few things were buggy as far as the control panel, session set up and certain database tools. Things that should have worked on the plogger install the first time, didn't). Although they don't provide support for "third party tools" they don't offer, they did fix bugs in the server environment ---- which made all the difference (although they won't admit it).

THANK YOU TECH SUPPORT!

---

FINALLY! Voila -- Seamless installation.

Voila! OR SO I THOUGHT until I began to upload photos and manage the gallery. I kept getting thrown out into the login screen.
I discovered that this can be due

a: to your browser settings (cookies -- do you accept them or not. If not make an exception for your domain.
b. Whether you have your history settings on or off
c: session variables not being saved. Depends on your server / hosting environment.

To fix this see
http://www.plogger.org/forum/discussion/3170/

What worked for me:

In plog-config file look for:
define('PLOGGER_SESSION_SAVE_PATH', '');

if not there, you can copy it from the plog-config-sample.php file. Set it like so:
define('PLOGGER_SESSION_SAVE_PATH', '/session/path/given/by/your/webhost/');

I hope consolidating these issues into one file will help save someone time.

P.S - I hope updates to Plogger continue. This is one of the nicest, easy to use open source photo gallery out there!

Deprecated eregi

gabixSVK — Tue, 06 Apr 2010 12:45:06 -0400

If you have problem with .....

Deprecated: Function eregi() is deprecated in "path" on line X

Just open the .php file , find the X line and change the eregi() to preg_match()

You can have problem also with no ending delimiter "^" , just add a simple ^ into preg_match()

example [ here tag ]: preg_match('^(f|ht)tps?://^', $this->sourceFilename)

Steps to translate Plogger to your language

khaliv — Tue, 29 Nov 2011 00:27:14 -0500

Steps to translate Plogger to your language

Download and install the latest Plogger from SVN ZIP
Download the latest .pot file
Install and run Poedit (both for Windows, Mac OS X, Unix)
Create new translation (File > New catalog from POT file), locate the .pot file and translate every line in the interface
Save the translated .po, which per default also auto-generates a binary .mo file in the same folder, using IETF language naming convention, usually the two first letters of your language
Copy the .mo file to your plog-translations directory in the plogger folder
In plog-config.php enter the line define("PLOGGER_LOCALE","da"); (replace da with your filename language information, da=danish)
If you need advanced help or information, follow the guidelines described in the WordPress translation documentation
Browse your gallery and admin, everything should now be in your language
Release the translation, one of these ways or both:
Email the .po and .mo file to the [plog-translators@… mailing list], so a translator admin may commit the translation to the repository
Post links in the plogger forum to your language updates, remember to post links to both the .po and .mo file so both can be added to the translations repository by a developer
