But I have released 6.1 [ download here ]. Updates and fixes are as follows:
New Features
Database support! Forums such as UBB.Threads, Ikonboard, phpbb2 and YaBB SE can now be used for authentication.
A new template, album_object.tml has been added. This new template defines how each object is displayed (I.E. trhumbnail, title, etc), allowing for much better customization. There are many new tags in this template.
Got rid of 2 useless templates: album_recent.tml and album_rating.tml didn't have much in them, so I killed them. They're no longer required.
Added new installation troubleshooting tool: album_test.pl will display useful diagnostic information when viewed from the web.
Photo album now renders properly in Mozilla based browsers. Updated several tags in the style sheet.
Links to invalid objects will no longer attempt to show an object that isn't there.
Added new ####RANDTHUMB#### tag, which inserts a randomly selected thumbnail from the album. Includes photo title and is a link to the actual photo.
Added ability to have random SSI thumbnail slideshows: http://perl.bobbitt.ca/cgi-bin/album.pl?random=1;ssi=1;slideshow=5 will show a new random thumbnail every 5 seconds.
Added check to see if any 2 function codes are the same.
Last photo in a slideshow now includes "Close This Window" button.
Added textmenu config item, which allows the use of text based menus, as opposed to the default images. (Note: templates must be manually updated if text memus are used.)
Comments are now hidden from the album view, displayed as the "alt" text of the "Rate It" button and on the photo view screen. Cleans up messy albums with long comments.
All errors will now result in a popup window, making them easier to identify.
Warnings can now be "stacked."
View files (views.txt) that aren't writable no longer stop execution, they just throw a warning.
Added style classes for links (admin, options, breadcrumbs, etc), and added corresponding definitions to the style sheet.
Broke out thumbnail links to display individually for the thumbnail and for the title. (Helps with browser formatting.)
Added new "ssirecentuploads" class to style sheet. This class can be used to have "ssi" recent upload thumbnails display horizontally or vertically, and controls the space between thumbs.
Added a link to album_test.pl to the configuration management screen (if present).
Display name is automatically pre-filled on the rating form when a user is logged in.
Bug Fixes
Fixed a bug where legend would not usually display.
Fixed a bug where going "up" from an album on a page > 1 would cause it to try to go to that page # in the parent album, and throw things off.
Fixed a bug that would cause member directories to never get a title/description when using member_subdir
Fixed a bug where "Set Album Thumbnail" wouldn't work if thumb file extensions were a different case than the images themselves.
Fixed a bug with ####CONFIG=var#### and ####FILE=file#### tags killing other tags on the same line
Fixed a bug with album_password not working.
Fixed a bug where img_dir always showed as "wrong" in the config screen.
Fixed a bug with flatfile authentication and uploads.
Fixed a bug where all images after a movie won't include username/password vars in the URL.
Fixed a bug where using member_subdir would cause user albums to have no description.
If you have any problems or questions, just post them here or at the album.pl Support Forums !
