Announcement - Subversion/Trac changes

ryanduff — Tue, 12 Jan 2010 16:06:10 +0000

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 +0000

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 +0000

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 +0000

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 +0000

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.

Hanging on to Plogger - But WordPress Plug-ins are fighting me

joemolloy — Sun, 15 Aug 2021 14:42:24 +0000

I've hung on to Plogger despite persuasion from a development consultant, and got by until a combination of storms.
My photo galleries have been accessed from a WordPress page for three years now, into my PHP, MySQL database.
I got a critical site error on 26 June 2021 when the StopBadBots plug-in auto-updated.
Several remedial actions were taken, including turn off StopBadBots, update PHP, and more.
Working with the site design consultant, I now have back the thumbnails that should then open my albums.
But all are replying with error http 500

I'm going to get the hosting service to take another look at this and this post is purely to get any comments from other Ploggers on any recent upgrade misery.

Plogger PHP8

xiphias — Mon, 14 Mar 2022 14:58:39 +0000

Since PHP8 is rolling out I thought I would test if plogger would run on PHP8. There are some minor issues so I started a new project for it.

https://github.com/xiphiasphotography/plogger_php8

Not very actively developing. I'm using plogger for a few of my website and since I like running the latest version I updated my own plogger sites and created this GitHub project so others can also use this when their PHP version gets updated.

Use at own risk!

Plogger and Oypo

edwink — Wed, 02 Jul 2014 08:55:02 +0000

After much trial and error with other gallery scripts, I finally found out (at least partly) how to get Oypo to work with Plogger.

In picture.php I added the following:








Aantal foto's in winkelwagen:

checkout via de Oypo-site: checkout

As you can see, it now takes the same image for both the thumb as the Highres image. Those Highres images should be located at http://www.voorugezien.nl/HighRes/ with exact the same path as the thumb
You can see my test and playing around at http://www.voorugezien.nl/

Future of Plogger (potential for adoption / fork)

phual — Sat, 17 May 2014 15:35:16 +0000

I've just been upgrading a site I run that integrate Plogger and Textpattern, The upgrade was prompted by my hosting provider upgrading my PHP version and I though that I'd take the opportunity to upgrade Textpattern as well. The result of all of this was that I suffered a repeat of problems I've had with conflicting variables used by the two systems as well as incompatibilities with php version 5.4. Looking through the forum, I can't help but notice that:

- development appears to have halted
- the source software (subversion) is down
- lots of people are having compatibility issues with newer software releases
- the developers appear not to have posted for quite some time.

In short, the project shows all the signs of a loss of resource, motivation, or both from those maintaining Plogger. This leads me to the inevitable question: would there be an interest from the maintainers to pass the project on, or from the community to take forward a fork?

At this point I should point out that I'm not a developer and can just about find my way around some PHP code. For this and other reasons I would not be an ideal candidate to take the project forward (at least not to do anything more than maintain), though I would be willing to support however I could. I wonder, are there others out there who would be willing / able to make some form of commitment?

Plogger stopped working, probably PHP problem

poslanik — Mon, 20 Feb 2017 17:17:42 +0000

Hello guys,

I know it's a longshot asking for help on this forum since Plogger is discountinued but I decided to try anyway.

So, to make a long story short, my website running Plogger suddenly stopped working. Now, as far as I can recall, it happened immediately after my web hoster updated his PHP version, and certainly the errors that Plogger is reporting have something to do with PHP functions.

Here is a screenshot of what shows up when I try to open my website (it runs Plogger on the homepage, basically the whole website is a Plogger gallery): https://snag.gy/kwroUZ.jpg

And then, if I try to open _install.hp or _upgrade.php like it tells me to, this is what I get: https://snag.gy/BPRNgD.jpg

If there's somebody who can helps me out or point me in the right direction, I would appreciate it so much...

Any help?

HTTPS Support

Plogger don't seem to support HTTPS. My ISP has just blocked port 80 and a nice migration to HTTPS would be nice.

Thanks,

Oypo integrated into plogger

xiphias — Tue, 07 Feb 2017 15:56:27 +0000

NO LONGER SUPPORTED BY OYPO

I've been running Plogger for years now. To bad development is at a stand still so I pretty much have my personal "fork" now.

Oypo, the dutch printing service, has updated their integration possibility with a jQuery version.

I've altered my theme to include this new code.

theme/footer.php: Added Oypo basket stuff

And at the bottom added the Oypo Init script and extra code for my checkout if loaded via iframe. This also includes Google Universal Analytics event triggers to track checkouts,

I put the extenal init script in my theme folder so it could be minimized. After optiomization my Plogger gallery scores 96/100 on the Google PageSpeed index.

theme/picture.php: Get original highres URL, pretty custom since it only works with my photo naming convention.

$strImage = plogger_get_picture_thumb(THUMB_LARGE);
                $strHires = basename($strImage);
                $strHires = substr($strHires, strpos($strHires, "-")+1);
?>

And at the spot where I want my order button I've placed this.
bestellijst
Oypo only supports images for add and remove buttons so use the test in span and some jQuery to merge them into the button.

At the bottom below: this has been added, it also includes Google Universal Analytics code to register the add and remove clicks. On creation of the add/remove button the text span is added to the button.

theme/album.php: Added pretty much the same code as above only the OypoButton() function is called in a for each loop to loop through all the images visible. This replace the need of including the script below every image like the old pre 2015 Oypo code.
The button and highres stuff used above is also used in the album.php but the javascript is a bit different.

This album can be viewed on https://degroteprijs.xiphias.net

Some folders won't upload

edwink — Sun, 07 Jan 2018 10:47:49 +0000

I have some folders added to the upload folder, but when importing them, not all are getting through. No clue why. They have spaces in the name, but others have as well, and they still get through.

PHP GD extension is not installed, it is required to upload images.

xiphias — Mon, 13 Feb 2017 10:58:59 +0000

While trying to update the code be able to run on newer PHP versions I ran into some ereg() to preg() replacements. No biggy. But all of a sudden I got the above error when logging into the Admin even though server info stated: GD Version: bundled (2.0.34 compatible)

When looking at the PHP log files there was a preg() error. After the update below, error gone and plogger running fine again.

plog-includes/lib/phpthumb/phpthumb.functions.php line 362

How Do I Increase Slideshow Image Size

joemolloy — Mon, 21 Jul 2014 21:53:59 +0000

As an amateur user of Plogger, I keep things simple and very happily run things fairly much at default.

However, I am wishing to increase the size that images display when running a slideshow from an album. Could you point me to the correct file? I've had a look through the directories but do not see where the size is set.

I am running
PLOGGER VERSION: 1.0-RC1
Theme Classic Version 1.2
Server Software: Apache/
PHP Version: 5.4.29 (CGI-FCGI)
MySQL Version: 5.5.37-cll
GD Version: bundled (2.1.0 compatible)

Can not add images

xiphias — Sat, 08 Oct 2011 03:48:41 +0000

Hi Sid,

Been a while. I have a few plogger instances running stand alone and one integrated in plogger with your help. I just started a new websit in which I'ld like to include plogger again. I've managed to alter the component to work with Joomla 1.7 which seems to work. Only one problem, I cant add images.'

when I go to /plogger/plog-admin the Upload tab shows :

Upload Images

Before you can begin uploading images to your gallery, you must create at least one collection AND one album within that collection. Move over to the Manage tab to begin creating your gallery structure.

Verry strange since I alterd the name of the default install collection and created 4 more. The album in the default collection was also renamed and other albums have been created in de collections.

When I go to manage tab I see
Gallery Stats: You have collections, which contain albums and images. Users have posted comments to your gallery.
But I have no images or comments.

Please advise

album links not working after upgrade from plogger 3 beta

plogger_album_picture_count() returning nothing

xiphias — Fri, 03 Apr 2015 14:26:53 +0000

I've been having issues that plogger_album_picture_count() is not returning the amount of images in an album.

It looks like mysql_result has been altered in the new PHP 5.4 I'm running and needs a row number.

On line 2808 in my plog-functions.php I changed the function call to:
return mysql_result($numresult, 0, 'num_pictures');
and that seems to do the trick.

Hope this helps anyone with the same issues.

Cruft-free url's problem with utf-8

Creatium — Wed, 30 Jun 2010 16:11:02 +0000

Hi everybody!

I've just upgraded to newest version of Plogger - 1.0 RC. Everything works fine, exept the cruft-free url's when using utf-8 characters. My album names have "????????" (Lithuanian) symbols and Plogger system automatically changes those symobls to _. Is it possible to make it change from ? to a, ? - c, ? - e and so on?

Also when I'm using name like that: "Name of the - plogger album", I get something like that in url: "name-of---plogger-album". Is it possible to throw those tripple dashes away and just have one - (in bolded place).

Thanks for those, who will try to help me.

And sorry for "broken" (:D) English.

GoDaddy-Windows Backslash in URLs

cameling — Wed, 04 Feb 2015 08:10:03 +0000

Installation went fine, but nothing is being referenced correctly. All URLs when viewing source code look like:

http://domain.com\/plog-admin/

I've tried several workaround mentioned in other threads revolving around line 94 in plog-load-config.php using str_replace, with no luck. In fact any changes I made seemed to have no effect at all. I know some basics of PHP so am out of my depth here.

Any advice?

I have been using Plogger Version: 1.0-RC1 since April 2011 and gradually increasing my collection of albums (93 with over 1170 pictured).
I would like the slideshow pictures from albums to appear larger. I have been looking through PHP folders and CSS but cannot pinpoint the setting for increasing the picture size. Could someone steer me to the correct file please? I am using the default theme.

Thanks in anticipation.

Problems with plogger/joomla integration. (SVN601)

xiphias — Wed, 02 Sep 2009 13:49:08 +0000

Hi,

From what I read on the web there's a lot of need for a joomla plogger component. I've done some basic modules on Joomla 1.0.x but I've challanged myself to create a basic plogger component for joomla 1.5.

A little background, Windows Server, PHP4, MySQL3 (I think), Joomla 1.5 (works fine without Plogger), sitename_joomla DB for Joomla, sitename_Plogger DB for plogger (keep things seperate and smaller DB size but seems to give me problems.)
In the plog-config.php I set embedded to 1.
I'm not to familiar with PHP yet but do have prior application coding (long time ago in Pascal) and webdevelopment (ASP, CFML, java-/cfscript).

I tried a verry basic component which basicly only had in it and the include and head code is hardcoded in my template. When I call the component I get a white page so something is going wrong there.

Since I'm using the SVN version the included gallery.php is just for backwards compatibility so I then took the code from it and included plogger.php and called the_plogger_head() and return the_plogger_gallery().

To avoid the greation of a real component I just put all of this in my template, so at the top before // including plogger file
include_once(JPATH_ROOT . '/plogger/plogger.php');

between and I put:

and at the spot where the main Joomla body would be displayed I put:

I figured this would basicly show my complete Joomla site with the plogger gallery on every page.

This seems to work fine although I get a lot of errors. None of the Joomla components are showing anymore. Looks like Joomla has a db=sitename_Joomla and then plogger does db=sitename_Plogger so Joomla tables unreachable. I could put them together but would be nicer if it would run seperatly, that way creating a Joomla site and including a running Plogger would be easier.

Appart from the Joomla errors Plogger isn't working OK. I can browse collections, albums and images but they aren't showing any images. Here is some of the plogger code generated in the template.

USA Sport Fotografie: Collections

The RSS/Cooliris links are generated via the plog-functions, guess that the gallery.css, dynamics.js and explorer.css need to be done in simular way.

This is collection generated by plogger.

Baseball

Contains 4 Albums

Baseball en softball foto's

The href should be simular to the RSS links the thumbnail SRC is completely wrong and link below also needs full URL.
Even better would be that plogger gets the URL that was called forinstance /?option=com_plogger&ItemId=15?level=collection&id=2 and change the level and id tokens so that the querystring used by main site stays in tact.

I think plogger reads the parents folder but when included it's different from the plogger folder. Include pasth should be added I guess or something.

@sidtheduck: do you have any tips for me and should I post a ticket about the last bit with the correct URL's.

Has anyone accomplished a joomla/plogger successfull integration or is anybody working on it, maybe it's an idea to team up.

Friendly regards,

Michael Rosa

P.S. The plog-cooliris.php thing is something I'm working on to make plogger Cooliris/PicLens compatible. I've added a ticket and files to the dev.
