photoalbum182.zip
Please post all bugs and help questions in this thread.
Thanks,
Wes

Version: v1.82
Tested on: 3.4.04 only should work with any 3.4.x forums though
Databases: Tested on MySQL v4.0.20a, MS Access, and MS-SQL 2000 should work with 7.0 as well though not tested with it.
OS Tested: Windows 2000/IIS5 Windows 2003
Creator Name: Wesley Brown
Contributors: Aecio Lemos, Lewis Moten, Mike Shaffer, David Roades(whether they know it or not)
Creator Email: Burthold@yahoo.com
Download at: www.wesworld.net/mods/default.asp
AS WITH ANY MOD, TEST IT BEFORE YOU GO LIVE WITH IT!
Install notes:
On Brinkser Servers you may need to add
on error goto 0 just before the last %> in each file where you are having problems.
Internet Guest Account IUSR_ must have full access to the forum directory and the directory where the photos are stored
Everyone must have read and execute list folder contents read and write to the forum directory and photo directory if you wish to use Nconvert.exe.
You must set write permissions in IIS for the folder where photos will be stored.
You must have FileSystemObject access for this mod to work.
There are three thumbnail options, image resize, using Ncovert.exe that is available on my website, and ASPJpeg if it is installed on the server.
Using Nconvert.exe:
You must have ASPExec installed on the web server.
You must copy Nconvert.exe to a folder that has execute permissions.
You must set the group Everyone to have read, execute, and list permissions on the folder it also must have read and write to the directory where the photos are stored.
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.
Upgrading from 1.80 photo album:
Copy the new album files into your forums directory. No database changes in this version release. DO NOT RUN THE UPDATER!
Upgrading from 1.50 photo album:
Copy the new album files into your forums directory. No database changes in this version release. DO NOT RUN THE UPDATER!
Installing for the first time:
Unzip all files into your snitz forum folder.
Insert this around line 568 in default.asp before these lines
if strShowStatistics = "1" then
WriteStatistics
'photo album insert into main page
%>
<!--#include file="inc_photo_album.asp"-->
<%
'end insert
admin_home.asp around 135
insert this:
" <LI><span class=""spnMessageText""><a href=""admin_album.asp"">Photo Album Configuration</a></span></LI>" & vbNewLine & _
Before this line:
" <LI><span class=""spnMessageText""><a href=""admin_config_colors.asp"">Font/Table Color Code Configuration</a></span></LI>" & vbNewLine & _
Goto the Photo Album administrator page in the admin options. If you want the setup to make a directory then give it a directory name to create. If not, please create a directory on your web site or a virtual directory attached to your web site.
That's it folks the only two lines of code you have to insert into your forums. I got tired of seeing mods that required a ton of changes to your forum code and always broke when the next version of snitz would come along. Hopefully this add-on will not be that way.

Ok, not a bug but still running into problems trying to download from your site Wes as we discussed in the other topic "Photo Album v1.50 for Snitz 3.3.05 / 3.4" with DAP. Is there anyone that has already downloaded this new photo album zip that I can download from you. Wes's site is the only place that has giving a problem with DAP.

Then go to snitzbitz. Its just that simple. Or like we disscussed in the other thread, TURN OFF YOUR DOWNLOAD EXECLERATOR. As always you can opt NOT to use my album or any of my mods that are hosted on my site that I pay for and written by me FOR FREE. Don't start bolding stuff and being an ass about it. Just asking would have been enough. When you click on a link on my download page it redirects you to another page then forces the download, this keeps people from linking directly to files on my site.

No one is trying to be an ass and I am just asking! I bold to emphasize who and what I’m talking about. Regardless, my posting skills are not the question here and I think the attitude is a little uncalled for. Thanks for helping to find another place to download it from. Yes I do know it’s FOR FREE. Yea. I know you wrote it. Yes, I have to OPTION to use it. YES, we need to work on "People Skills"!
I apologies to others reading this post and I’m sure it will be deleted as I would do on my site! |

I still don't have an answer for your brinkster problem. If anyone is running my album on a brinkster server could you chime in?

Thanks! Nice improvements from V1.50! More user friendly. Thanks for investing the time and making this available for the rest of us to use. Just still don't understand the reason to talk down to others but hey, it's your life. You don't have to worry about me nagging ya anymore.  |

Try: on error goto 0
This seems to be useful on Brinkster servers.

this isnt a problem, but a question. I am using 3.4.02 with and am using the mod in multiple user mode. I have added all users to my album, however I want only the users who have photos uploaded to show up on the table in photo_album.asp. I have noticed that this number can be found on admin_album_admin_users.asp
Now my question. What is the name of the variable used to pass the number of photos?? Or, if someone has already done what i am looking for, could you tell me what exactly i should change to only have the users with photos to show up? |

I don't currently store the number of photos actually uploaded. I have a query on the user admin page to generate that. The reason I didn't include it on the front page is it can be a burden on large sites. I am intergating photo count in the next version. So, to answer your question there is no variable that stores the number of photos a user has uploaded to the system.
Cheers,
Wes |

Got the mod installed and working fine, just a couple of things.
Is there an extra mod for the search page to view pics by member?
And, not a bug, more of a glitch, the page photo_album_upload has mname as a querystring value, you can change this to immitate another user uploading pictures.
What is nconvert.exe |

If you do a search for a member it will pull his account up. if you are running in single album mode it will pull that member up alone. Its not a glitch, it passes the mname value but only admins are effected by it. If you don't have an mLev of 4 it doesn't matter what the value is. Read the readme.txt tells you what nconvert.exe is for... It is GPL software that can be used to generate thumbnails. In conjunction with aspexec its one method of generatin thumbnails the other way is if you have aspjpeg installed on your sever.

Correct me if its been mentioned before
line 210 : photo_album_approve.asp needs to be
Response.Redirect "admin_login.asp?target"& scriptname(ubound(scriptname))
was
Response.Redirect "admin_login.asp?target=scriptname" |
