| You may not want to use this as it seems to come with an atitude all it's own. |

| I'm beginning to think that... I may have to find a stand alone photo album to "sit next" to the forum. It would just have been nice to have it integrated!! :D |

| I have now moved my whole forum to www.1asphost.com, and now I can't even set up the base directory correctly! Arrg! Can any one help, or suggest a free/ very cheap asp host where I can set the forum with photo album mod up without having to tear out my hair?!!!! |

I never did see a possible cause for this error.
There was an error [Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Syntax error in CREATE TABLE statement.
Any ideas? I need to get past this to try and continue to get this mod working. I am using access 2000 database.
Thanks,
Jeff

I have a slightly different problem.
I run 2 forums from the same server on different ports. Both have 1.80 installed and one of them works fine.
The other let me upload 4 photos, then has refused ever since.
Trying to upload, the script times out. Increased asp app timeout on server to 3 mins: still timed out.
Troubleshooter gives me "not an system administrator".
Thing is I'm on my own server, running locally & logged in as Admin.
Folder & Server permissions are identical for the 2 forums: I've triple checked them.
Running Windows Server 2003. Totally Baffled. |

Hi, first let me say thanks to you guys for all the mods you make.
I am however having a little problem uploading pictures.
I have used the test feature and the error message says everything was ok but upload failed. Which has left me scratching my head.
My web site is www.rhinoshomepage.co.uk
maybe you may have some ideas.
Thankyou |

Is anyone using this MOD successfully, and has made any improvements to the filename and username validation ?
I just implemented it and it works (kinda!), but there are a lot of bugs relating to illegal characters in either the Username or the Uploaded Filename (hyphens, apostrophes, spaces etc all screw things up)
So, If anyone has already fixed these problems and is keeping the fixes to themselves, please let us know!
cheers!

Yeah I saw your comment Jag but you didn't actually suggest a better alternative... If you have a better Snitz Integrated Photo Album MOD, I'd be glad to hear about it.
For those that got it working, I notice that the Upload part that is causing many of the problems noted here ( '%20´' problems, thumbnails not showing etc. dDue to non-alphanumeric characters) is written by Lewis Moten http://upload.lewismoten.com/ and maintained as a seperate project (not linked to Snitz). - anyone fancy taking a look at Lewis's "upload without COM" code and seeing if they can integrate the latest improvements with this MOD?
I would do it myself, but I'm only an incompetent cut'n'paste MODder...

Well, I have played around with this code, and have created a function that fixes the specific problem I was experiencing. My users were attempting to upload files with non alpha-numeric characters in the filename (spaces, parentheses, hyphens etc) which in every case caused the thumbnailing function to fail, and in many cases caused the image display function to fail. another side effect was that a copied shortcut embedded in a forum posting within (img)(/img) tags would fail since it sometimes contained characters that are treated as risky and therefore stripped by the forum post functions..
I must warn you that I DO NOT consider myself to be a programmer, therefore I would be happy for anyone to tell me that my code sucks, as long as their response contains the source code to how it should be done!
Adding the code
Insert just above the last line "%>" at around Line 354 of inc_photo_album_functions.asp quote:
function purify_filename( FileName )
'**********************************************************
'* P3TER's filename purifier function
'* ----------------------------------
'* Turns a filename into pure alpha numeric, removing all
'* characters other than numbers, letters, and "."
'**********************************************************
For ParseFileName = 1 to len(FileName)
ASCII = Asc(Mid(FileName,ParseFileName,1))
if ASCII <46 THEN Dirty = TRUE
'Flag these characters as dirty = !"#$%&'()*+,-
if ASCII >=58 AND ASCII <65 THEN Dirty = TRUE
'Flag these chars as dirty = :;<=>?@
if ASCII >=91 AND ASCII <97 THEN Dirty = TRUE
'Flag these chars as dirty = [\]^_`
if ASCII >=123 THEN Dirty = TRUE
'Flag these chars as dirty = {|}~ onwards
If Dirty = True then
FileName = Replace (FileName,chr(ASCII),"/")
End If
Dirty=false
next
FileName = Replace (FileName,"/","")
purify_filename = FileName
end function
Then, add this entry to around line 294 of ToFileSystem.asp, immediately above the "' Compile path to save file to" comment line.quote:
'Call Filename purifier function
strFileName = purify_filename (strFileName)
'End of Filename purifier function
Removing the effect of this function is simple - just comment out the middle of the 3 lines above, and resave ToFileSystem.asp
Using this function when uploading a file means that a file named "F [i-l_e#-n'a me%1.jpg" would upload a file named "Filename1.jpg"
I would like to hear any feedback from anyone who tries this code. - please post it here! |

Correcting Thumbnail Aspect Ratio:
(So that thumbnails retain their correct proportions, instead of becoming 100 x 100 square)
in ToFileSystem.asp around line 316, replacequote:
Jpeg.Height = 100
with...quote:
Jpeg.Height = jpeg.OriginalHeight * jpeg.Width / jpeg.OriginalWidth
