PhotoStack

It’s here?

I’ve been pounding away - and I think that this is the one… or very very close to it. There is still a ton to do, but I think this beta should work just fine for everyone.

Let me know if it works, or more specifically, if it doesn’t.

Update: Fixed the link! Sorry!

    Most likely the link should be http://photostack.org/releases/beta-newest.zip, so with an extra “s” after “release”. The previous beta could also be found at this location.

    Just another thing: Noel, next time you make a version available, you could use “svn export” to a new location and zip that folder. That folder will then not have all the files and directories that Subversion is using to administer the working copy (think of “.svn”). In the current zip, it would have saved 294 files (unless you want all of us have a Subversion working copy automagically :-).
    Compliments on Photostack! Top reason for me to check it out (to keep using SVN terms) was its lean&mean-ness.

    The code is cleaned up like nobodies business. Good job Noel.

    Working great for me. I am so looking forward to messing with the templates in a short while. Keep up the great work but you should also take a break every now and then. Have a beer or three and chill out with the World Series.

    Where is the demo? There are no pictures or galleries.

    This is great.

    I put password protection on my photos by moving a bunch of the admin functions (isLoggedin, isAdmin, logout, doLogin) into photostack. I then copied a bunch of the organize.php into index.php

    Question:

    Could you merge the admin and photostack?

    It seems you would be able to merge index.php and organize.php as well. An admin would just have a different template.

    you could also put an option that asks if a login is required to view everything. - But you could leave that up to the user.

    fwiw/

    The ability to add sub-galleries stops after a pictures is upload to be the tumbnail for the gallery.

    Works very well. There is one error that I just came across…

    I created a sub-gallery with two other sub-galleries within it. I wanted to re-name the original sub-gallery. When I try to edit the folder name, I get this error:

    ttp://evegoodman.com/kaarenengel/work/organize.php?action=view&gallery=./Collaboration
    Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/evegoodm/public_html/kaarenengel/work/includes/admin.class.php:406) in /home/evegoodm/public_html/kaarenengel/work/includes/admin.class.php on line 407

    Also, is there any way that one can choose a thumbnail for the subgallery that has sub-galleries within it? hope that makes sense.

    thanks,
    Stacey

    Stacey,

    Yes, you can choose a thumbnail for the subgallery that has a sub-galleries within it. Just upload a picture into the gallery and then edit the gallery to select the thumbnail.

    Don’t add pictures to the gallery until you have added all the sub-galleries, because presently you can NOT add sub-galleries to a gallery that has pictures. Bummer :(

    EXIF digital camera file format support would be great for the comments.

    Files and directory names with forward slashes are not supported correctly. All of the directories (galleries) with dates in the name are being display as xx:xx:xxxx instead of xx/xx/xxxx.

    UNIX and Macintoshes allow slashes in file names.

    Hi,

    Thanks Brian. I should’ve tried that out first. : )

    I’ve searched around and messed with the template and can’t get the galleryDescription or galleryLongDescription to show up on an album page (page with the thumbnails for a specific gallery).

    Here is the description related code in my album.tpl.php page:

    galleryLongDescription(); ?>

    galleryDescription(); ?>

    I don’t recieve any errors…. the text just does not show up.

    Thanks,
    Stacey

    FYI - the above code example does include the php echo part before gallery…()

    just doesn’t show in the comment

    Hello

    You should a galleryDate() function to photostack class in order to display gallery date into templates.

    I’ve added it myself, but it won’t survive to the next photostack update :)

    Hello,

    I want to delete all photostack and reinstall. What is necessary to delete : files and MySql table ?

    There seems to be way too much communication between the browser and server for the simplest of things.. feels slow and innefficient.

    Generating thumbs seems to go into an infinite loop.. never ends, even with only one picture in the top stack. I have to kill the browser tab and restart the web server to fix it.

    It doesn’t show any pictures in the top stack if there are any sub galleries, unless it’s an album. That seems silly. At least it warns you about it.

    It’s hard to differentiate between galleries and albums..

    And please make a clean SVN snapshot of your betas without all of the .svn directories. It doesn’t let one upgrade easily without errors or manual cleaning of them all.

    It would also be nice to name the beta files something more representative of the version they contain. :)

    Noel, just wanted to thank you for your hard work on this software. It seems to be really coming together. My only problem thus far is the same that Stacy had above regarding editing folder names. It happens in any folder, root or sub-root. I get the same error message as hers, only difference is our domains of course.

    As it stands now, the only way to rename folders is to simply delete and make a new one. Hope you can find a solution to that. The error is posted below:

    http://www.—-.net/album/organize.php?action=view&gallery=./Test2

    is anyone else having trouble with thumbnails not loading in firefox for pc? on a gallery page where the 12 thumbs show up, i often only get 8 or so to show and the rest don’t. when i refresh sometimes another one comes in or the ones showing change. i assume this has to do with the fact that the thumbs are getting generated by a php script. am i the only one?
