Gallery - plugin under develpment

Hi,

I'm curently working on a new plugin, which lets users manage "image uploads" for their listings.

This saves having *loads* of image fields on your link add page

Basically, the idea is:

1) They submit their link
2) They then upload images for their links, via gallery.cgi
3) The plugin has an option, so you can set the max number of images allowed per link
4) The images are thumbnailed
5) You can then show the thumbnailed images on the detailed page, and link to the full image

Any suggestions are welcome, before I get too far with it =)

Cheers

Re: [Andy] Gallery - plugin under develpment In reply to

Suggestions:

1) If possible (and not too complicated), please make a feature so users can password protect their gallery/images and only the users they give their password to can view the photos.

2) Phptps open in a new small window without the url showing in the address bar and so that the users cannot right click and save the photos on their computer.

3) Impelement Lightbox

4) Set max upload size and also a good warning message or a popup message that tells them how big a file is allowed.

5) Possibility to select any image as the main image and the rest gallery images. The main image thumbnail can then possibly can be shown in the category pages as the linking photo, next to the link description, etc.,

Thanks

Hi,

Thanks for the suggestions Smile

Yeah, thats quite a cool idea - I'll probably add that in towards the end though.

Quote:

2) Phptps open in a new small window without the url showing in the address bar and so that the users cannot right click and save the photos on their computer.

Phptps = photos 'I'm guessing? Tongue

Mmm... not sure about that - I was thinking more along the lines of having Lightbox setup, so that they click the image - and it opens in the same page (i.e the gallery page). Not much point having new windows popping up =) Also, the "no save" could only really be done with a "no right click" bit of javascript - so thats easy to put into the gallery.html template Smile

Quote:

3) Impelement Lightbox

See above.

Quote:

4) Set max upload size and also a good warning message or a popup message that tells them how big a file is allowed.

Ya, the upload system uses GT::SQL::File, so will allow the max_file_size feature to be used. It will just be set on the "Gallery" table, which is where the images are stored. I'll probably add a link to this page, so its easier for users to edit the size =)

Quote:

5) Possibility to select any image as the main image and the rest gallery images. The main image thumbnail can then possibly can be shown in the category pages as the linking photo, next to the link description, etc.,

I like that idea :)

So far, I'm at the stage that the tables are being created via the plugin correctly - and now I'm working on the admin upload function.

Once I've got the basic upload function done, I'm gonna get onto the thumbnailing of the images - which will be the next big(ish) step.

I'll keep you posted.

Cheers

Will it require the imagemagik (spelling) module? or can this be bypassed if they images don't need to be resized?

Re: [Matthias70] Gallery - plugin under develpment In reply to

Hi,

Well, you kinda could do that =)

All you would do, is have a "link" that the user creates (i.e a "gallery"), and then they add the images via gallery.cgi - which will then get shown on detailed.html (or viewgallery.cgi?ID=xxxx)

Hi,

Yup, thats more common than Image::Magick.

Easiest way to see if its installed, is using this test script:

Code:
#!/usr/local/bin/perl 


    use strict; 
    use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser); 
    use GD; 


  print "Content-Type: text/html \n\n"; 
  print "looks ok";

If its installed, then it should work :) (with the version I'll make for GD =))

Nah, its just a basic upload system.

demo1.jpg is what the user sees, on gallery_view.cgi?LinkID=1234
admin-demo.jpg is what linkowners see, when they are managing the images associated with their link

The main idea of this plugin, was for Classified sites, which want users to be able to upload images Smile

Hi Andy,

I test your script (GalleryManagerGD) and I have some problems.

1) The images are not downloaded.
Error message for small-2-000190.jpg : ERROR: Invalid filename, (...)

2) It is not possible to indicate the size of the image.

3) It is possible to indicate the folder of remote loading of the images?

4) It would be possible to check that the fields Image is indicated?
If not, script gives an error message :
Error: Exception 435: unable to open image `2': No such file or directory

5) How to avoid the use of spaces in the name of file?
You think, that it is possible to correct these problems?

Thanks,

Mick

Hi,

Nah, sorry. It took too long to write, to warrent putting in the ULTRA Package. I've got a set time limit when writing a plugin, and unless I've already agreed, then it goes into the PRO package.

Do you have an example, where I can see this? (email or PM me the details)

Quote:

2) It is not possible to indicate the size of the image.

You can, but you have to do it via the GLinks database field editor:

http://www.yoursite.com/cgi-bin/links/admin/admin.cgi?db=Gallery&do=editor_columns&modify=Image

(just edit the above URL to your site :))

Quote:

3) It is possible to indicate the folder of remote loading of the images?

Mmm.. I guess you could change the file_save_in and file_save_url fields (in the URL I just gave you) - but I'm not 100% sure it it will all work fine with everything else then.

Quote:

4) It would be possible to check that the fields Image is indicated?
If not, script gives an error message :

Not sure what you mean?

Does it allow spaces? It shouldn't do - the regex should stop spaces being allowed.

Hi,

I've just uploaded a new version of GalleryManager and GalleryManagerGD .

This has a bit in the Readme, linking you to the "Edit Gallery" table page (so you can change the url/path/file size settings), and also added a link to the side menu- so you can edit the max number of images a user can upload.

Hi Andy,

Thank you for your answer. Smile

I also tested on your site and the problem is identical :

1) Invalid filename, (...)
screen capture : error_filename.gif

4) Error: Exception 435
screen capture : error_exception_435.gif

2) In fact, I wanted to speak about Image::Size.

But, I think that I found the solution : in GalleryManagerGD.pm, line 28 and 29
$small_width
$small_height

An idea ?

Are you referring to the size of the thumbnails? I could put that in as a plugin option (will have to do it after my roast dinner though =)). I'll also try and get those other bugs fixed up (I tested it on 20+ images, and all of them worked fine, so I'm not sure why its not working for you :/)

In fact, your idea is correct.

For me, on your site :
1) with IE7: ERROR: Invalid filename, D:\Documents and Settings\. \ 2-000190.jpg
2) No problem with Firefox.

For my site with Firefox :

Code:
Can't locate auto/Image/Size/jpegsize.al (...) at /../admin/Image/Size.pm line 213

It seems that for my site, the problem is with GD. Frown

Great, found the problem :)

Basically - the line:

Code:
   my $Image = $IN->param('Image');

..get given back as this in FireFox:

Code:
imagename.gif

..but in IE, it gives it as:

Code:
C:\somewhere\imagename.gif

..thus the regex wasn't matching (as it was only designed to look at the filename itself, and not the whole path of the file being uploaded)

I'll get that fixed up in the distributed version.

Was there any other bugs that you can still see? (before I upload a new version =))

I'm also going to work on the "Cleanup" function, similar to how the Thumb_Images plugin works (where it re-creates the smaller images, based on the uploaded image). This will be helpful if people decide to change the plugin dimensions, and need to re-create their thumbnails :)

There is perhaps the last bug.

1) For me, script do not take account of the value of Small_Image_Width and Small_Image_Height.
I placed the value on 80, but the images (thumbnail) are always of 150.

2) The Cleanup function only seems to regenerate the small-*.* images.
But, it seems not to delete stray thumbnail images, which could be taking up space on the site.

You confirm ?

Thank you for your patience.

Mm.. you sure? I just added some debugging information in, and it seemed to work fine (also checked an image that was made, and it had the right dimensions)

Fixed.

I've also added in some code, so that when someone deletes an image from their gallery - it also deletes the ORIGINAL, instead of just leaving it on the server :)

The new version is available from our Members Area (its still named version 1.1 btw)

Perfect adaptation ! Smile

Andy >> Mm.. you sure?
Yes, I confirm. But, if I modify the value directly in file GalleryManagerGD.pm, then the new value is used.

Hi Andy,
it seems that you finished this project.
What do you think, is it possible to extend this plugin into a small imagegallery?
1. In the glink installation should be a topcategory with subcategories, where users can upload their images?
2. Users should be able to decide in which subcategory an image is displayed.
3. And there should be a link to display all images of a user as well.

Thanks

Re: [Andy] Gallery - plugin under develpment In reply to

Andy >> Not sure what you mean?

In fact, the script does not seem to take into account the values of Small_Image_Width and Small_Image_Height which are indicated in Admin > Plugin > GalleryManagerGD > Settings.

But, if I modify the values directly in the GalleryManagerGD.pm file,

my $small_width = $PCFG->{Small_Image_Width} || 80;
my $small_height = $PCFG->{Small_Image_Height} || 80;

...the values are used by the script.

But, it is not very important for me. If I were to modify the values, I will publish the GalleryManagerGD.pm file.

Thanks,

Mick

Mmm.. that is indeed very double checked the code, is its definatly accessing the right values:

Code:
use Links::Plugins; 
my $PCFG = Links::Plugins->get_plugin_user_cfg('GalleryManagerGD'); 

my $small_width  =  $PCFG->{Small_Image_Width} || 150;  
my $small_height =  $PCFG->{Small_Image_Height} || 150;

I can't see any reason why it wouldn't work - especially if, as you say , you just manually edit the "150" numbers, then it works - so it can't be something further on in the plugin :(

Mmm.. personally, I think it would work better as:

1) A normal GLinks install - with a Photo field in the glinks_Links table
2) Then, have the link/detailed pages, goto gallery_view.cgi?ID=12345 (or show the gallery on the links detailed page)

The way you were suggesting, I don't think would work =)

O.K. but there are many things unclear and I have no clue where to start?.
1. There should be a thumbnail-function
2. The category and it's subcategories should have a different layout. Thumbnails should be displayed in three rows
3. There should be a field for keywords
4. There should be image search by keyword
5. This flash lightbox function would be nice too ;-)

A plugin that installs these features at once, would be great Angelic

Sounds interested - but won't really be a plugin I think, as it would require a hell of a lot more changes, than just a plugin like this.

More like my ImageSQL, which is quite a few plugins, which turn GLinks into an Image Gallery (not cheap though, and not part of my packages =))

ImageSQL is too big for what I need. Unsure

I just thought your GalleryManager could be modified.

Re: [MJ_] Gallery - plugin under develpment In reply to

Hi,

No specific version I'm afraid. However, you can back-work the tempaltes, and it will work fine (i.e change from the "luna" template set which comes with the plugin, to your templates)

Hi Andy,

I believe to understand.
It is necessary to modify "build_static_path" with "build_root_path" in Install.pm ?

Ya, that should do it :) I forgot I used the "static" folder. You will also need to search & replace the build_static_path with build _root_path in gallery.cgi, and /admin/Plugins/GalleryManager.pm. hopefully that should do it =)

Thank you Andy, that functions perfectly. Smile

Another question.

You think that it is possible to obtain the images available for a link (ID) in the format xml ?

For example : gallery_view.cgi?LinkID=<%ID%>;t=xml

An idea ?

Thanks,
Mick
