UBB.Developers Forums UBB.classic V6 MultiHack Mods [6.x] album.pl 6.0: Uploadable Photo Gallery for UBB

Ok, I've finally fixed enough bugs that I feel like putting out a new release.

Download it from:
http://perl.cdnarmy.ca/album

Updates and changes in V5.7 are as follows:

• The delete confirmation, move confirmation and create album screens now use the album template (album.tml).
• Added new ####STRING=xxx#### tag. When using this tag, the string from line xxx of album_strings.txt will be substituted. This allows for more thorough customization/translation through the string table. Accordingly, all existing strings have been moved out of album_header.tml, album_footer.tml, and album_upload.tml, and into album_strings.txt.
• Added [ Small ] [ Medium ] [ Large ] and [ Full Size ] links when viewing photos, to constrain the photo to a pre-defined size. Also added ####SIZES#### tag to album_header.tml, updated the style sheets, and added small_width, small_height, medium_width, medium_height, large_width and large_height config items, allowing users to define what small, medium and large actually mean.
• Finally... New icons! thmb_album.gif, thmb_photo.gif and thmb_movie.gif have been updated, and there are now alternates as well (thmb_album2.gif, etc). Special thanks to GlassRattler (http://www.glassrattler.com), CTM and Bookie for making these!
• Added an ``E-Mail This Page'' link to photo pages. This requires you to update your style sheet with the new ``mailto'' class, and to use the updated album_footer.tml.
• Admins can now upload to any directory when using per_member_uploads.
• Added ``breadcrumbs'' trail for backtracking when in sub-albums. Modidied album_header.tml & album.tml changed the style sheets (*.css), added ``album_folder_icon'' config item, included thmb_album_folder.gif in the zip, and added a couple of things to the string table to make this work.
• Added ``Check For Updates'' option to the album administration menu.
• Added ``Edit'' to the photo administration menu.
• When entering titles and descriptions, there are now 2 ``submit'' buttons available, one that stays at the current object, and one that moves to the next photo, if available.
• Changed YaBB per_member upload mode... It now uses the user's username, instead of their display name when creating upload directories. This stops users from changing their name and creating multiple directories, but it also means that all the ``existing'' directories should be changed... Sorry about that!
• Script now waits up to 2 seconds for new thumbnails, allowing them to be displayed the first time around.
• New translation added: Swedish! Thanks to shr for that one!
• Fixed a bug where deleting a photo was impossible for non-admins when per_member_uploads ne 1.
• Add a rating screen now uses photo descriptions instead of filename.
• Disabled caching of the configuration management screen -- this was causing some problems.
• Updated HTML to conform to XHTML 1.0 Transitional standard. (Well almost, anyway...
• Added a link to the support forums to the configuration management screen.
• Added code to truncate long titles with a ``...'' when displayed as navigation buttons.
• Added SSI support for recent uploads. Add ``ssi=1'' to URL to invoke SSI mode: http://perl.cdnarmy.ca/cgi-bin/album.pl?album=:recent&ssi=1
• ``Add a Rating:'' has been added to the string tables (missed that one).
• Fixed time/times in views text to be handled correctly in the string table. (Helps for translations)
• Added ####URLONLY#### tag, which does not have the HTML tag, and is just the URL to the album's view of the current object.
• Fixed a bug when deleting a photo where the title and description for the deleted photo were displayed in it's album.
• Thumbnails are no longer shown in the recent uploads screen.
• Fixed a bug where protected albums still showed recent uploads.
• Fixed a bug where the configuration management screen would keep re-appearing during some new installations.
• The textarea for entering long descriptions is bigger. (You can edit album.pl to modify $enterdesc_rows and $enterdesc_cols if you want to customize the size.)
• Fixed bug removing descriptions when moving photos from the root album.
• Fixed bug where editing movie descriptions would throw an error.
• Fixed a minor issue where ``Never'' was hard-coded only when ``views.txt'' didn't exist when a photo was displayed.
