Simple. Install PHP on your server, or find a host that has PHP installed with IIS (readyhosting.com as an example) and use both. You just won't be able to have both on the same page unless the album can use remote javascript to display images on non-PHP pages. |

if a user goes to the photo album link there is a link from there to upload and manage categories you can't miss it. Make a test account and check it out. I am reworking all the user and admin pages to be more accessable and useful.

Hey there...I installed this MOD on my test forum at http://www.kamikazeshots.com/test When I went to the admin options and into the Photo Gallery Setup and created a folder for the gallery, the whole forum and database just froze. I actually had to restart the server to free it up. I have this same problem when trying to install Mods using the original MOD Setup feature. I have to use the alternative MOD setup where I copy and paste the code in.
I know this is not a permissions problem, but I am not sure how to get this to work. Anyone else have this issue or suggestions? |

can you give me some details on your server and setup what IIS version windows etc etc. All the setup does is execute the FSO object and a standard ADO connection to create the table and insert some strings.

In your readme,quote:
If you wish to use the thumbnail generator instead of just resizing the image copy the nconvert.exe to a folder that has permission to run executables. You will also need to download the asp component called aspexec, it is available on my website as well. You will need to have this installed and registered on your server. Nconvert is part of xnview. This is a GPL'ed program and should be registered if used on sites that are commercial in nature. Support the authors of this fine product. You will need the absolute path to the executable i.e. c:\thumbnailer\ you will need this to setup your photo album please see the configuration item under admin_album.asp. With all the components and programs installed the photo album will generate thumbnails of the original picture about 1.2k in size and save the thumbnail as a Jpeg to save on space. If you don't use the nconvert.exe to make thumbnails the photo album gives you the option to turn thumbnail images on and off. If for some reason the thumbnail images don't get generated the album will use the resize option unless the display thumbnail option is turned off. If a valid thumbnail image is available it will use it regardless of the thumbnail option being turned on or off. The thumbnail on/off option is for those not using the thumbnail generator to save on bandwidth.
Hey Wes,
I have read through all these pages on what I can find about the thumbnail procedure. Call me  but I'm still doing something wrong. I download nconvert.exe but still a little unsure where to upload it to. I have tried in a few places on my server and gave it the correct permissions but still no luck. I went to the admin_album.asp and tried to put in the correct path to it. On the server the path would be /thumbnailer/file name but I feel this is what I'm doing wrong with it.
I have also download aspexec from another site because I can never download anything from your link. I need to install this. Is this something I install or is this something the my host needs to install. If me, then where on the server. Sorry for probably asking dumb questions but would like the thumbnail feature to work on my site with your photo album. Everything is working smoothly with it but just can't get it to make thumbnails in the tn_ folders. |

One, you have to have aspexec installed by your service provider on the server the album is on. The link on my site http://www.wesworld.net/mods/default.asp works fine for me and others. There are instructions for registering the dll file in there.
Two, it has to be an absolute path i.e. h:\thumbnailer\ in the admin options not a relative path i.e. /thumbnailer/
If your host has another option to generate thumbnails let me know and I will see if I can add it to the album. I am compiling a list of thumbnailers to add to the album.

Thanks Wes,
That is the link that will not work for me. Everytime I click on one of the download links it imdently aborts the download and asks to retry. The retry never works. I had to download your mod from someone else because I could never get it to work from your site. Go figure  . Is there another way to achive the download or the instruction for registering the dll file? |

| What browser are you using? I can't imagine my download page not working on 99% of most browsers. If you go to the offical aspexec homepage they have instructions there. http://www.serverobjects.com/products.htm#free |

I'm using IE6 but I'm using Download Accellerator. That may be the problem for downloading it. I will view the other link you provided and try the instructions there. I have contacted my host server about aspexec and awaiting a reponse but that could take a friggin moon cycle. 
BTW, I can download aspexec from the site you provided in the quote with Download Accellerator but it will abort with the link on your site. No idea what that problem could be.
Thanks for your help, |

Just heard from my host server:quote:
We have aspjpeg, I believe it resizes or make thumbnail for users.
If you want to view the documentation for it, go to aspupload.com and check out
the documentation for aspjpeg.
As for the aspexec, we do not have this installed on the server. If you want us
to install this component, you will have to upload it to the server and we
charge one time $19.95 to set it up.
Let me know if you would like to proceed.
What is your status with aspjpeg? I had seen it in some past posts on here or should I go ahead and pay for them to install aspexec. Jezz $20  |

Ok, I am working on aspjpeg but don't have an eta on when it will be added to the album. I haven't tested my download links with a download execlerator, I bet that is it. I would hold off on sending them 20 bucks to install a free component It may be a couple of weeks before I have aspjpeg code installed on my server and tested with the photo album, its not hard I just haven't had time to do it yet.

Beta files are up in the usual place DO NOT USE THIS ON YOUR PRODUCTION SITE! I have tested for bugs but need other people to look at it and make sure.
http://www.wesworld.net/texastgc/photo_album_view.asp?cname=Photo%20Album%20pics&mid=1&cid=9
Screen shots of the new album.
I am ready to have some people beta test this version. There have been no database changes to this version but it has a whole new layout some speed improvements small bug fixes I found and paging on all pages that need it. It also has some search features that were needed. The admin section is a TON better. I think it looks better and is much easier to use. Once I feel that this is stable I will add aspjpeg support and thumbnail batching feature I have been working on. If anyone is willing to help me test this thing I would be very grateful. I think I have found all the bugs but that isn't always the case.
Oh yeah, this is only for 3.4 snitz. I will not be releasing a version for 3.3.x unles there are some people that REALLY need it. I am moving my forums over to 3.4 very very soon and to the new album.

Ok,
Since I’m running the 3.3.05 version (International), I’m a bit sad. Liked your Album a lot and suggested some improvement regarding more member details and links to members profile and back. I’ve been waiting and now there’s no version for me to use.
I’ve got more than 1000 Scandinavian Blacksmith’s interested in my Forum and the feature to show what they make would have been great. I would gladly been betatester for that 3.3.05 version.
I appreciate your good work thou.
Thank’s

Well, I will look at it. It is a major pain to maintain two diffrent code bases and fix all the bugs in ether of them and not mess up one or the other. The sooner the 3.4 version becomes stable I will look at what will need to be changed for 3.3.x right now that would be at least two weeks out. For every one person that is using it for 3.3 there are at least 4 people using it on 3.4. Nothing is set in stone but I can pretty much garantee that this will be the last version for 3.3 when it gets converted over.
