Mods & Plugins (Requests & Discussions) / QCS Software MODS: New Home

« on: August 14, 2002, 11:44:25 PM »

Hi,

We have setup a new server for the 4images mods that we are working on, so the general public can have a play about with them.

The new server is located at http://test3.internal.qcs-software.com/

For all the 4images setup's on test3, the login name is "as-test" and the passowrd is "test".

Please do not use http://test-mod.artscans.co.uk anymore.

All images, etc on the test3 server are just a copy form a live server, so you don't have to worry about breaking anything.

There is also a list of hte current mods that we are working on in there somewhere as well.

Thanks,
Alan.

Mods & Plugins (Requests & Discussions) / MOD: Allowing user to edit their image details

« on: August 04, 2002, 05:39:24 PM »

Hi,

I've written a mod for 4images, that allows the user to edit the details in their own images (name, desc, keywords, allow image download, allow image as an ecard, etc, etc), but I'm not sure whether to include the ability to move / delete their own images.

Any thoughts on this one?  Deleting the images isn't really such a problem.  After all, it's their work, so if they want to delete it, they can.  It's more the moving part.  At the moment, we have 711 images in 27 categories.  If users go in and start moving their images all over the place, I'm concerned that it could all get out of control, with images ending up in the wrong categories, after the moderator team have put them in the correct category.

I welcome any thoughts on this subject.

Thanks,
Alan.

[EDIT:
Forgot to mention, and example of the mod can be seen at http://test-mod.artscans.co.uk.  Login as "as-test" with the password "test", and take a look at http://test-mod.artscans.co.uk/details.php?image_id=732 <-- that image.]

Discussion & Troubleshooting / [Possible Bug] E-Cards

« on: June 29, 2002, 10:03:54 PM »

Hi,

Just been testing 4images, and tried to send a couple of e-cards, and noticed the following problems.

The time in the e-mail is missing the last number - "Your eCard has been sent on 29.06.2002 20:5".  It was infact sent at 20:53.

The link to the e-card didn't work at all.  All I got was "Invalid eCard ID", and it displays a random image.

The site in question is at http://new.artscans.co.uk (please take into account, that this site is not launching until Monday 1st July, so it's not fully working yet).

Thanks,
Alan.

Discussion & Troubleshooting / Mass-generating thumbnails

« on: June 25, 2002, 11:18:29 AM »

Hi,

I'm converting an online art gallery from our custom PHP, to 4images, and have come accross a bit of a problem.

I wrote a conversion script to move all of the image records from the old database to the new one, but now I'm left with 500+ images without thumbnails.

Does 4images have the ability to create them (using auto-thumbnailer, for example), or would I have to use an image program to manually create the thumnails then insert each thumbnail name into the images table?

Or, alternativly, is there a flag for the images, that will make 4images think it's a new image, and a thumbnail needs creating for it?  I had a quick look, but couldn't see anything obvious.

While I'm here, a suggestion for the next version (just a small suggestion).  In includes\page_header.php, change the [Control Panel] URL form "admin/" to "admin/index.php" as on a Colbalt RAQ server, going to admin/ will take you to the Raq's admin screens.

Fantastic script by the way.

Thanks,
Alan,
