Release notes:

The newest version of the Tidypics Photo Gallery. It has been updated for Elgg 1.5.

1.5.1 changes

  • fixed permissions override bug (thanks for those who verified the issue)
  • added "create album" button for widgets
  • changed default minimum filesize for image resizing to 2.5 MB (temporary until this code is rewritten) 

1.5 updates

  • improved css for new theme
  • ties in with activity river (only for album creation)
  • notifications for new album creation
  • grabs sitewide default access levels

Other changes

  • Rewrote a lot of core code - especially the page_handlers
  • More consistent menus
  • Fixed access bug on images that was making them private
  • Fixed group access bug that was prevent group members from adding/changing to albums
  • Many more bug fixes
  • Turkish language added (thanks to VeniVidiVinco)
  • German language file fixed (thanks to alfalive for that and bug fixes)
  •  

    Other Improvements still to do

    To upgrade:

    1. disable current plugin
    2. delete tidypics directory
    3. upload the code
    4. enable plugin

     This version has a hard coded limit on filesize inherited from previous versions. As pointed out in the comments, you can edit line 62 of tidypics/actions/upload.php to change this limit. The largest filesize will be determined by your server setup so you cannot just change it to a huge value and expect it to work. The current limit in this code is ~ 2.5 MB.

    The next version will have a rewritten uploader that should be more robust and offer more feedback to the administrator on configuration options. We will also be adding in some hooks to allow for quotas.

    zzpaul 1144 days ago

    thank you :)

    any plans for dynamic tagging?

     

    zanzoon 1144 days ago

    Thank you, it works well now!

    I want propse a little enhancement:
    when I see a photo of an album, there is no link to get back to the album to see the overview of all other photos. I can only go to the page with all my albums. It would be great to have such link.

    Regards!

    Gleb L. 1144 days ago

    It would be appreciated if there is dynamic tagging.

    @Gleb L - we'll add breadcrumbs in the next release

    Tidypics Team 1144 days ago

    what are breadcrumbs?

    Cim 1143 days ago

    Maybe it's just me, but when I get a notification message that a new photo is created, it's unable to unmark it as a new message (it stays red)

    Mike (vazco) 1143 days ago

    @vazco - please confirm that you have updated to 1.5.1. What you described happened with the previous version.

    Tidypics Team 1143 days ago

    question
    in the previous version, when you added an album and showed the widget on your profile
    You would see one huge iimage of the album cover.

    Anyway to create a "gallery" or "tile" instead of the one big image?

    For example
    In the widget you would set
    "Number of albums to show" = 6

    the output in your widget would be 3 tiles across with 2 tiles down.

     

    Understand what im getting at?
    In theory if this can be applied, the the site admin can set a widget to show on profiles  with tiles of albums

    and

    in the dash or custom_index, this same style layout would show

    antifmradio 1143 days ago

    The image displayed is 153 by 153 (I don't know why that odd size was chosen).

    The thumbnail is 60 x 60. There is a fair amount of blank space on either side so I think 3 across is possible. This would be a good project for a developer just starting out with Elgg. Let me know if anyone is interested and wants to join the team.

    Quick question:  How can I add a box to the front page of the site for "Latest Albums"?

     

    Thanks,

    I still get a white page and a "null" thumbnail when trying to upload images over 600x450  pixels. Anyone know why this could happen or how to fix it?

    Thanks in advance.

    Baddy 1142 days ago

    In general, the size of image supported by Tidypics depends on your server setup. In a future version, we will provide guidance on configuration - maybe with an estimate of how large an image your current server will support.

    A white page (frequently called WSOD for white screen of death) is caused by something like a syntax error, out of memory error, call to extension that wasn't loaded, etc. In this case, it is probably an out of memory error. If your server is configured properly, you should see an error in your error log that will explain why you got a WSOD.

    If you are running on a cheap shared hosting server, you will probably have many limitations.

    My server runs a linux gentoo distro and i can modify wherever i want (its a "private server"), just gotta know how to do it XDDD

    So i'll try to search how to increase memory for php scripts or for something like that. Thanks for your quick answer!

    PD: if you know if there is a file that contains this settings it will be gratefull.

    Baddy 1142 days ago

    Without knowing the error message, I don't know the exact cause so I can only guess.

    php.ini is the file you'll want to edit (http://us.php.net/manual/en/ini.list.php)

    memory_limit is a good place to start

    Tidypics Team 1142 days ago

    Great! I finnally found php.ini and modified that line. Now works correct!

    Really thanks for yours answers!

    Is there any group/discussion created for discussing this plugin?

    zzpaul 1142 days ago
