Does anyone have this code or zip file?  The link is broken, and I would really like this mod.

2
When I remove the code, now I just get one column with everything listed going down the page.  Is that what is supposed to happen, or do I need to change something in my settings?  I still want 3 columns going across, I just would like the categories evenly distributed within the columns.

I have installed quite a few mods.  I am now running into a problem where my home page takes awhile to load, so the user just sees a blank white screen for a few seconds.  I am thinking about removing some of the mods, but would prefer not to get rid of all the code, so I could put them back easily.  My question is when does the code get called?  If I remove the {field} from the html pages, does all the code to get that field stop getting called?  Or, does it all get called regardless of if you display the field or not?  The answer is probably somewhere in between, but any insights would be appreciated.

Nice mod.  I did have one problem, though.  I have new images in a sub-subcategory (i.e. Zoo Events/Migratory Bird Day/Artwork).  It gives me the correct number of new images in each sub-subcategory, but when I click on the link, it shows me all new images in the subcategory (i.e. Migratory Bird Day instead of Artwork or Games or Birds).

Has anyone figured this out yet?  I am having the same problem.  I created a subcategory and then several subcategories under that.  My total for the main subcategory is 0, since all the images are in the subcategory under that.  For example:

Category:           Zoo Special Events (5)
Subcategory:             Egg Day (5)
Subcategory:             Migratory Bird Day (0)
Sub-Subcategory:             Games (15)
Sub-Subcategory:             Art Show (20)

This is very confusing, because only the main and subcategory show up in the main categories page, so it looks like there are no images under Migratory Bird Day, when there are actually 35.  The user doesn't know to click on it and look for the subcategories since it says there are 0 images.

If this cannot be solved, is there an easy way to show more levels of subcategory on the main category list?

The script now does the following..
1)Uses the 4images DB instead of just using a folder/directory listing. (v2.0)

Can you explain what this means in more detail?  Will I notice a difference, or will it work like it did before?

I have alot of images that are similar to each other.  I have over 700 images in my animal category, so browsing the thumbnails is getting cumbersome.  I am thinking of leaving just the best few out there of each animal and making the rest inactive.

However, I would like the 'More like this' mod I created to find both active and inactive images.  That way, if someone is interested in a particular type of image, but isn't seeing the angle or cropping they prefer, I could show them more choices.

Are the inactive images in all the databases and search indexes?  I am thinking there might just be a check in the thumbnail displays that makes sure it is active.  If this is the case, I could just tweak that code to display inactive images in certain cases.  I am the only one who can add images, so I don't have to worry about any images being inactive out there that I don't know about.

My other thought was to put them all in a special folder that I hard-code to hide on the main categories page.  My only concern with this is that it might be confusing when they show up after a search with a category name that isn't seen anywhere else or with no category name if I hard-code it to work that way.  

Any input or suggestions would be appreciated.

Excellent addition!  I didn't even think to do that.

There was a post about how to do exactly what you are asking for.  I searched and couldn't find it, but maybe you will have better luck.  I believe the jist of it was that you could add 'img src=' in with text link code in your language main.php file.

Mods & Plugins (Releases & Support) / [Mod] EXIF 0.3
« on: March 18, 2003, 05:35:08 PM »
My web host will not recompile with EXIF enabled.  When you came out with 0.3, instead of a new thread, you deleted the 0.2 code and replaced it with 0.3.  Since I cannot use 0.3, could you repost the 0.2 code somewhere?  Thanks.

All I did was copy the 'New Images' link date logic, but changed it from using 14 days to the last visit time.  I didn't make any changes to security/permissions, so that should work the same as it does for the 'New Images' link.

12
Like they said, I would have to constantly post images, because any time someone logs on the last visit time would be updated.  

I plan to post some images within the next couple days, so hopefully that will help.

On several occasions I have had to delete all my images and re-add them through the admin panel.  Mainly, this is because I have updated most of the descriptions or keywords, or saved the images at a different Jpeg quality or size and FTP'd them to the folders again.  The only problem with this is that the ratings, comments, etc., get deleted as well.  

It would be great if someone could come up with a mod for the admin control panel where you could choose to update image fields.  It would only have to update fields that can be defaulted from iptc data (like checkimages) and possibly any image size fields if those are stored anywhere.  If easier, maybe this could be a plug-in that you would need to customize like the batch upload.

14
Some of my additional image fields are dates and I have had to go into details.php and checkimages.php and hard code my field names in with different formatting.  It would be nice if this was a type you could assign in db_field_definitions.php and admin_functions.php, etc.,  would incorporate it.

I just posted a mod in the other forum that will do this
