Two files that were changed are missing from the changelog:
[olist]
[li]download.php (you removed the browser detection for Opera)[/li]
[li]includes/page_header.php (you changed the "control panel" into "admin control panel")[/li]
[/olist]

Feedback & Suggestions / Re: 4images 1.7.4 - Feedback

« on: October 27, 2006, 10:14:57 PM »

Is there any chance to get the changing describsion from 1.7.3 to 1.7.4?
I think about: in ...... --> find ....... --> repleace with / add after /add before, just like a MOD.

Here's what I always do as my 4images is quite heavily modified: download the new version, the files listed in changelog I open in a text editor and do the same with my current files. Then I let the text editor compare the old with the new file and see which changes have been made in detail and I include them into my files. Takes some time but it's worth it.

cheers,

Plugins / correct version

« on: July 05, 2003, 07:37:50 PM »

ib41, in line 38 (and in the following line as well) there was a line break that should not have been there. this has to be one line:

Code: [Select]

$image_media_file = get_media_code($row['image_media_file'], $image_id, $cat_id, $row['image_name']);
and this one as well:

Code: [Select]

$pict_id = get_media_code($row['image_media_file'], $image_id, $cat_id, $row['image_name']);

thanks for creating this one peterle.

Discussion & Troubleshooting / How can I use {loggedin_user_name} anywhere?

« on: June 22, 2003, 11:09:19 PM »

In addition to the "you are logged in as USERNAME" I want to be able to use the USERNAME somewhere else on the homepage but when I put the {loggedin_user_name} in the spot where I want to have in in the home.html of my template it doesn't show anything. Do I need to use this in a different way? And if so ... how?

thnx in advcance,

Chit Chat / sessionid in the address

« on: June 13, 2003, 09:33:53 AM »

A database is easier to work with, more portable, allows data relationships to be stored.

Yep, I agree but do you do those kind of things with the sessions? I guess not.

I'm just wondering and asked out of pure curiousity why PHP's default has been changed - no offense to anyone!

Chit Chat / sessionid in the address

« on: June 12, 2003, 04:29:39 PM »

Normally, the session id is stored in a cookie. The session id is only appended to the url, if the user has disabled cookies.

Yeah, that's true but there is a slight problem (apart from the fact that the crappy IE doesn't display the SID when running without cookies ...)
I have a few static pages that are called via "index.php?template=news" for instance - they do not have a sessionID added to the URL. Is there a way that I can tell 4images to add the session ID? I tried the normally available constant SID but that doesn't work

And another problem is that I have coded a few search links like "{url_search}?search_keywords=max+mustermann" - these work fine when the user has cookies enabled but with disabled cookies the parsed URL looks like this "?sessionid=804209c8f06d64fe750418662fa45346?search_keywords=max+mustermann" obviously this doesn't work; the 2nd "?" had to be replaced by "&".

Any idea how to solve these issues? I worked around the latter problem by replacing the "{url_search}" with a hard coded "./search.php". By this I lose the session ID but at least my users get proper search results. I'm now thinking about building forms with hidden fields for the search terms and to submit the form by clicking the link ...

Also one question to Jan as we are talking about sessions: why are you storing them in the database instead of PHP's default to store them in the file system? I've been told that the file system solution is quicker than database calls.

Mods & Plugins (Releases & Support) / on a different page?

« on: June 07, 2003, 01:06:46 PM »

Hi,

I want to display new images not on the homepage but on a "static" page (a page that is called with "... index.php?template=news" for instance) and I add {new_images} there it's empty. If I have it in the home.html it works so there are new images that fall into this category.

Any idea what I need to change where to get it to work?

Thanks in advance,
Bernd

great Mod - I'll work a little on it and will repost it as an admin plugin as for our purpose we rather not make it accessible for the users.

Thanks again - I'm sort of struggeling with getting all your mods into my installation
You deliver faster than I can install 'em ...

Installation, Update & Configuration / Serverwechsel

« on: May 17, 2003, 10:02:40 PM »

ich hab neulich mal für 'ne Offline-Demo die gesamte Webinstallation auf meinen lokalen Rechner gezogen und alles was ich ändern mußte war eine Datei: irgendwo im Admin-Ordner steckt in einer Datei der Name der Datenbank, der DB-User und dessen Passwort. Das geändert und es läuft. Natürlich mußt Du dann eine identische Serverstruktur (also Verzeichnisse und deren Namen) haben und auch das DB-Backup wieder zurückgespielt haben (geht ja recht einfach mit PHPmyAdmin).

Sollte klappen - zur Not/Sicherheit mal lokal probieren.

cheers,
Bernd

Installation, Update & Configuration / English/German site: same images but 2 sets of keywords?

« on: April 11, 2003, 10:37:47 PM »

just insert both english and german keywords

Yeah, well, I've thought about this as well but it doesn't look so nice for the keywords and for the image title/description it"s really ugly  

I'll keep digging. And my employer wants to send me on a PHP training end of May, maybe I'm able to do it myself afterwards

thnx anyway,
Bernd

Installation, Update & Configuration / English/German site: same images but 2 sets of keywords?

« on: April 09, 2003, 11:15:12 PM »

Hi,

Is this in some way possible:

To have an English site and a German site using the same images is no problem but then everything image related is still in German (in my case as this is the main language) - so things like the title of the image and the keywords for that image. What I'm imagining is to have an additional set of keywords and the titles of the pictures and depending on the fact from where the user initiates the search the appropriate set is used.

Any ideas whether/how this is possible to achieve?

cheers,
Bernd

Mods & Plugins (Requests & Discussions) / [Req] Thesaurus for keyword search

« on: April 09, 2003, 11:05:30 PM »

Hi,

on my site all images have keywords attached. One problem with searching by keywords is always that it's difficult to predict what users are actually searching for. Also spelling can be a problem. To minimize the risk of a user not being able to find an image we assign sort of redundant keywords ("Alsterfleet" as well as "Alster-Fleet" - both ways are correct in German).

What I"d like to have is a table where I put in the keyword I've used on one side and all keywords that mean the same on the other side. If a user now searches for an image the system first looks up this table to check for which keyword it should actually look for.

Is this in some way understandable? And does someone maybe even have an idea how to tackle this?

cheers,
Bernd
