Configuration is now modifyable through the web. Call http://www.webserver.com/cgi-bin/album.pl?function=config to configure your settings in a web interface. You can change the config code from the default to stop others from re-configuring your board for you. (See notes in the album.cfg file.)
Added updateconfig and config function codes to the config file, as noted above.
Added nextprevthumb config item, which allows you to control the display of next and previous photo thumbnails.
Added constrain_thumbs, thumb_height and thumb_width config items. If constrain_thumbs is set to 1, uses height and width tags to reduce display size of actual photo, and uses that for the thumbnail. The thumb_height and thumb_width config items are used to control the size of the constrained thumbnail shown. When you use this option, you no longer have to provide seperate thumbnail images to get custom thumbnails, they are generated automatically. However, since the thumbnails are actually the original image constrained, you will in effect be loading the entire image.
Added ``last viewed date'' to the views file.
Added ####VIEWS#### tag and updated the photo.tml template.
Album and photo icons can now be any valid photo extension, as defined by the imgexts config item.
Added parseLinks to make generated links more Netscape friendly. Currently, it replaces spaces with %20 in any links.
I'd like to thank Chuck for his work on the Control Panel stuff. Unfortunately, I went another route for configuration, so it's not as tightly couple with UBB. (Many of my users don't even know what a UBB is.) This was a tough call, and in no way reflects the quality of Chuck's work, which is outstanding. I wish I could have done a better job of integrating that code into the script...
As always, any problems, suggestions, priase or complaints are welcome.
Cheers
