Can use my diagnostic tool:

http://www.4homepages.de/forum/index.php?topic=18308.0

to reduce search when need help in future. Is wy is there.

I would really like to, but to be honest with you, I did not understand how your tool works.

you know thunderstrike, people like me who speak english as a second or third language are not that good at understanding plain written text if it does not correspond to the english we learned in books.

I confess to you that I often have difficulty to understand what you mean.

No see for isset in line . . .

 :lol:I have lost a lot of time trying to fix the failings of the script, but this is exactly what I should be expecting for a free script.

(someone said you only get what you paid for? so we are paying nothing here, and thus.... )

I sincerely regret that such an intelligent team as 4images' produce a script in 2007 which considers non-ascii image names as "missing" and gives an error such as "fill-in Image Name" Back in 1987, that would have been forgiven. but 20 years later, no, this is disappointing.

If the 4images team is not willing to handle the bugs and errors we painstakingly discover by multiple try and error and hours spent trying.....  then I will have to go and find a better script where the coders care a bit more .... look at vbulletin.... you pay $160 to get it, but you get real service afterwards..

Having searched with 5 different programs for the text string thunderstrike is directing me to, is enough for a user.

It is up to the 4images team now to come up with a solution......

ultraedit32

Try totaledit or notepad. Will find from member.php. I use ultraedit32 in past, not right search function in program.

4) WordPad. did not find $image_name = un_htmlspecialchars(trim($_POST['image_name'])); in member.php

5) NotePad. did not find $image_name = un_htmlspecialchars(trim($_POST['image_name'])); in member.php


enough ?

Still find some line of this:

$image_name = un_htmlspecialchars(trim($_POST['image_name']));

No pre-define.

on a freshly downloaded copy of the 4images script, ultraedit32 search in the whole directory, in *.* file types:
Search complete, found '$image_name = un_htmlspecialchars(trim($_POST['image_name']));' 0 time(s). (0 file(s)).



on a freshly downloaded copy of the 4images script, editplus search in the whole directory, in *.* file types:
---------- Find in Files ----------
0 occurrences have been found.
Output completed (0 sec consumed)

in frontpage of Office, find in source code: 0 occurences.

tell me on which line of the member.php you find this string:
$image_name = un_htmlspecialchars(trim($_POST['image_name']));

FAQ, Tips / Re: How can I show more new images on home page?

« on: August 10, 2007, 03:07:13 AM »

Textarea in setting and define in constant ... is diff ? Mine is no crack ...

yes dear, and if tomorrow there is patch or security release that replaces the constants.php, would I need to re-apply those changes or not? of course yes. Why?

Just tell me why ??

As long as it is easily doable to define a new var, why go to file.php and find text_string1 and replace with text_string2 and and ....  ??

Why are not all of those wonderful mods such as "check new images in all categories and subcategories", "exclude certain categories from home" and "include only from this category in home" and "set how many thumbnails to appear on home" included in the core of the script?

How many users like me are hiring outside-your-team independent coders to apply mods and fix non-ascii issues with your own script?

Why do you accept that somebody else receives money for your work ????

Tell me why....

If you would like to show more new images on your 4images homepage, you will need:
Open index.php
Find:

Code: [Select]

$num_new_images = $config['image_cells'];Replace it with:

Code: [Select]

$num_new_images = XX;Where XX is the number of images.

this is nice, but should be a setting in the admin panel, not a mod....

it helps and it works..... and I am thankful to your generous help. I really am.....

I yet believe that this should be a setting in the admin panel, not a mod....

Hacking the code for so many reasons is not a good idea at all. And all hacking has to be re-done over and over at any security patch that touches upon what you changed.

Is constants.php do if no config in ACP ? If so, can code it (fast and no hi ressourc).

yes admin control panel is not a necessity....  if you make it an option in constants.php, fine and fair enough.

this line is not in 4images

this three line is original
$image_name = un_htmlspecialchars(trim($HTTP_POST_VARS['image_name']));
$image_description = un_htmlspecialchars(trim($HTTP_POST_VARS['image_description']));
$image_keywords = un_htmlspecialchars(trim($HTTP_POST_VARS['image_keywords']));

and when replace to this lines
$image_name = (isset($HTTP_POST_VARS['image_name'])) ? un_htmlspecialchars(trim($HTTP_POST_VARS['image_name'])) : "";
$image_description = (isset($HTTP_POST_VARS['image_description'])) ? un_htmlspecialchars(trim($HTTP_POST_VARS['image_description'])) : "";
$image_keywords = (isset($HTTP_POST_VARS['image_keywords'])) ? un_htmlspecialchars(trim($HTTP_POST_VARS['image_keywords'])) : "";

is the same error

thank you. I was frustrated. now you reassured me

@ wbmaster73
... then use this ... http://www.4homepages.de/forum/index.php?topic=16348.msg92769#msg92769

thank you mawenzi, I really appreciate your effort.

I have tried the first method, and it works fine for me, so I am ok with that.

what honestly disturbs me a bit is to find that almost every single feature I would wish to see in 4images is already available in the form of a Mod.

hmmmm. I believe I am an average user of 4images. If almost every single one of my requests has already been made And answered in the form of a mod, why does not the coding team of 4images pull itself together and integrate those essential mods into the core of the script?

Guys, if frankly it is a funds question, then do as everyone did and does: sell your script at a reasonable price (may I suggest $30/domain) and provide better service......

Freeware has limits and I believe 4images has reached 'em.  now the script is well known, we could take it a step further...

this:

$image_name = un_htmlspecialchars(trim($_POST['image_name']));

to:

$image_name = (isset($HTTP_POST_VARS['image_name'])) ? un_htmlspecialchars(trim($HTTP_POST_VARS['image_name'])) : "";

I could not find this string anywhere in the whole script.

$image_name = un_htmlspecialchars(trim($_POST['image_name']));

so in which file we are talking about here, member.php or details.php or what ?

try this

change:

Code: [Select]

       WHERE i.image_active = 1 AND c.cat_id = i.cat_id AND i.cat_id IN (".get_auth_cat_sql("auth_viewcat").")

to:

Code: [Select]

       WHERE i.image_active = 1 AND c.cat_id = i.cat_id AND i.cat_id IN (5, 17, 55)

where (5, 17, 55) are your category numbers

pls note, that this change will show hidden category pics too..

this is really lovely. but once again dear 4images coders, this must be a setting in the admin panel, not a hack to the script.

... in index.php find in //--- Show New Images ---- the following ...

Code: [Select]

WHERE i.image_active = 1 AND c.cat_id = i.cat_id AND i.cat_id NOT IN (".get_auth_cat_sql("auth_viewcat", "NOTIN").")

... and add after ...

Code: [Select]

AND i.cat_id NOT IN (24)


this is sweet. but this must be a parameter to be set in the admin panel, not a hack to the core script.
