Mods & Plugins (Requests & Discussions) / Copy permissions setting from one usergroup to another

« on: October 10, 2006, 04:24:30 PM »

or duplicate and rename usergroup.
I operate a highly complex structure to control access to our family photo album for friends and family.
This involves plenty of usergroups in particular because they differ only slightly in their permission setting
This album has now well over 100 categories and about 30 usergroups.
This gives me a huge amount of permission setting to change when I create a new usergroup and also when I create a new category I have to change all settings for private permission to it's appropriate value.

This is very time consuming and can cause errors.

I had a look if this can be copy and pasted from an SQL table but the info is spread over several tables so it's almost just as daunting.

Anyone got an idea please as this is an ongoing issue and will not change as long as I use 4images or a camera.

Mods & Plugins (Requests & Discussions) / postcard/ecard with colour swatches and preview on form page

« on: July 19, 2006, 04:50:21 PM »

Hi,

I have been looking for the modification V@no has on his postcard create page.
sample page here

and I can't find it on the board.

I like the colour swatches and the fact that it immediately updates the photo making it an almost live preview.

Has anybody got the code for this or could you V@no maybe please publish it?

Thank you in advance
Ralf

PS. Can't do any real work today. 43ēC inside - 38ēC outside

Discussion & Troubleshooting / Parse and syntax error when posting comment in 1.7.2

« on: July 17, 2006, 08:27:29 PM »

Hi in my modified 1.7 version it worked fine ... now it's up the creek

I used BBCode for formating in posting comments when the error happened, but it also appears when posting comments without BBCode.
Just now I found that it has nothing to do with posting or not, because every commentposted previously while 1.7 was running also does display the same error.
Furthermore the new comment has been entered into the db correctly. I even get it when trying to edit it in ACP. So its purely an error calling and displaying the comment.

Error is as follows:

Code: [Select]

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '}' in /home/user12345/public_html/4images/includes/template.php(101) : eval()'d code on line 13
Code in template.php

Code: [Select]

function parse_template($template) {
    $template = $this->get_template($template);

    // Don't show error notices
    $old = error_reporting(E_ALL ^ E_NOTICE);

    extract($this->val_cache);
    ob_start();
    //echo $template;
    eval("?>".$template."<?php return 1;");

    $str = ob_get_contents();
    ob_end_clean();
This is line 101

Code: [Select]

   eval("?>".$template."<?php return 1;");

Any ideas how this can be rectified?

Discussion & Troubleshooting / eCard / postcard 1)use of html in message field - 2)user db as mailmerge?

« on: July 16, 2006, 07:24:53 PM »

I have version 1.72 installed and html is turned off in most places.
1) While it is generally a good thing ( ! hackers ! ), in my controlled environment I prefer it to be turned on.

This is easily achieved for the picture description field by making a small change (replace a "0" with a "1" in functions.php)

Unfortunately this does not turn on html in the eCard message field where I use the code for bold, underline and very important for line breaks.
This could be tackled in two ways.
One is two switch HTML back on. Or to insert code by use a predefined buttons for the required functions.

Anybody any idea how I can achieve either or. I am not keen into replacing large quantities of code as I have an integrated music modification which took me a long time to get going again in the updated 1.72 version.

2) Has anybody got a mod or an idea how to send the same card to different users. Maybe even changing certain bits in the message depending to which user it goes. MAILMERGE or so. If this is to complicated maybe there is a way just to send an identical eCard with message to all users.

Last I have made use of the search facility but could not find anything. Possibly I am using the wrong keywords. But it also does not help that the forum search option does not allow to turn off the search function for any text formatted as code in the postings.

Discussion & Troubleshooting / Permissions for users and Usergroups

« on: July 13, 2006, 02:32:09 AM »

This might be a daft question.
I have created different user groups and set their permissions.
Then I allocated users to different user-groups.
Yet when I directly check permission of a user (not the permissions of the user-group the user belongs to)
All direct permissions of the user are set to "NO". The permission form of the user does not inherit the permissions of the user-group.
Yet when the user is logged in he has the permissions of the user-group.

This does not make much sense and confuses me for keeping track of permissions.

Why is it like this? Am I overlooking some meaningful reason? Or did I miss a bug fix.
I run v1.72.

Thanks

Discussion & Troubleshooting / In Admin 'Edit Images' and 'Add Images' not loading anymore

« on: June 13, 2006, 05:23:56 PM »

I have not changed anything and now I cannot upload pictures anymore. It last worked in Mid April and only I use it to upload pictures.
When I upload a picture from the user end I can see the upload form.
It appears to upload but it does not. There is no error message and at the end of the upload process a white page 'member.php' is returned.

When I try to upload from the Admin panel 'Edit Images' and 'Add Image' forms are not appearing at all.
All the others links and forms appear to be working.

It is my server I have not changed anything.
A virgin installation of 1.7.2 is working fine. My existing modified version 1.7 does not work anymore after so far having worked allright.

Has somebody got any ideas? I have searched this forum for answer and cannot see a topic dealing with my problem.
However if I have overlooked a topic dealing with this I apologize in advance for this posting and would appreciate a link to the topic with the answer to my question

TIA
Ralf
