Templates & Styles (Requests & Discussions) / All Templates That Work With 4images V1.7.10

« on: May 22, 2011, 07:39:29 PM »

I'm looking for any and all templates that work with the latest version of 4images V1.7.10?

The color scheme in particular that I'm looking for is Burgundy or Crimson or a deep red tones. Does anyone know of a template with this color scheme that works with the latest version of 4 images?

Also, If you know of any template that "works" with the latest version of 4 images ( V 1.7.10 ) could you please post all links in this thread?

thanks,

Plugins / Confusing

« on: November 17, 2002, 01:33:57 AM »

I know that this "batch_import" script that Jan released is "beta" and it is a 'quickfix' for people who want to batch. But I do think it would make things a lot simpler if we could place images in a certain directory, whether via upload or Local folders and have a place in the Control pane were we could type in a /path/to/images or {browse} to a local folder etc. It is my understanding so far is that all the script needs to really know is were the images reside so it can either 1.move or 2copy the images to its new location under the /4images/*/ folder. Its this /*/ folder I have questions about in the $data_src_path = "/path/to/images"

It would just be alot eaiser in a batch process to be able to:

1.select source files (weather via ftp,http://URL or /local/path)
2.select destination to store (weather via ftp,http://URL or /local/path)
3.select in control panel a.)look for new images b.) autothumbnail

Its this manual autothumbnail via ImageMagic or NetPBM thats kinda lame. I think, and I again I suggested this ealier, The script should be wrote so that you can simply have /your/images somewere and Never Ever have to create a single thumbnail and have the script autothumbnail directly to the clients browser. You never wouldhave to have a /thumbnail folder.

By far I'm impressed with 4images I just cant wait until it reaches the abilities of ImageFolio

Plugins / Re: Fatal error:...on line 29

« on: November 15, 2002, 05:54:56 AM »

Here is what I did to solve the:

"Fatal error: Failed opening required './../admin/admin_global.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php') in /home/httpd/html/4images/admin/plugins/batch_import.php on line 29"

Just add another directory level on the line

$root_path = (eregi("\/plugins\/", $PHP_SELF)) ? "./../../" : "./../";

change to

$root_path = (eregi("\/plugins\/", $PHP_SELF)) ? "./../../" : "./../../ ";

Works fine now. BTW I'm running 4images on Mac OS X.

Ok, I got only 2 problems so far. One is when I was in control panel and clicked on the batch thingy....nothin happened. Then I saw this about add another forwared slash "./" and I did and it worked, well kinda, the control panel now finds the script and I can run it and import images BUT, and this is a big BUT. Take a look at what happend:

CREATED A NEW IMAGE LOCATION FOR TESTING:

C:\IMAGES - simple huh?
Then I created a sub-folder
C:\IMAGES\GAL1

I have 7 images in both folders, thats it.

Heres were the scripts kinda screws up. When I click to import it goes straight to the subfolder "\GAL1" and imports those images while skipping what was in the Parent' folder.

Why? my data source path is like this:

$data_src_path = "C:\IMAGES";

   Heres a good idea.. why not make it so when were in the control panel, have a blank text box so we can simply type in the path there instead of having to open up import_batch.php all the time.


--------------SNIPPET
I didn't put anything in the sub folder variable because I wanted it to scan all folders and subs:
// subfolder:  If you images are stored in a subfolder,
//             set the folder name here. Example: "thumbnails/"
//             Optional, can be left blank

"subfolder"  => "", <- LEFT IT LIKE THIS

If I have subs do I suppose to fill in the  "" with a path like
"C:\IMAGES\GAL1
?

Secon problem. I can't get Imagemagic or NetPBM to work.

I place the extra \convert.exe at the end of the path and contral panel
sees it now, but when I do an "autothumbnail, the script finds all my
images very well, but when I go to execute to autocreate thumbnail
I get:

Create thumbnail for: Big Ass (quake00.jpg) ....  
   Error creating thumbnail!


Create thumbnail for: stupid ass (quake00_2.jpg) ....  
   Error creating thumbnail!


Create thumbnail for: quake12 (quake12.gif) ....  
   Error creating thumbnail!


Create thumbnail for: quake11 (quake11.gif) ....  
   Error creating thumbnail!


Create thumbnail for: quake10 (quake10.gif) ....  
   Error creating thumbnail!


Create thumbnail for: quake09 (quake09.gif) ....  
   Error creating thumbnail!


Create thumbnail for: quake08 (quake08.gif) ....  
   Error creating thumbnail!


Create thumbnail for: quake07 (quake07.gif) ....  
   Error creating thumbnail!


Create thumbnail for: quake13 (quake13.gif) ....  
   Error creating thumbnail!


Create thumbnail for: quake07 (quake07.gif) ....  
   Error creating thumbnail!



Well those are the only two major problems I have other than the fact I can't send mail. I dont have SMTP selected, I just wanta use PHP to do it. I haven't got to the part yet but if anyone wants to indulge on telling me I need to go to my PHP.INI and do something that'll be great.

Discussion & Troubleshooting / Directory Naming & Error After Running import_batch.php

« on: November 14, 2002, 07:00:26 PM »

Below is my directory structure of 4images. Please take a look at what is highlighted in blue.


Is it possible to have the script name these 'numbered' directories

  \1
  \2
  \3
etc....

to the same name as the "subfolders"? Another words, if I create
a "Catagory" named CARS and I create a sub catagorie named
TRUCK and truck being the exact name of the actual folder in my
dir tree. Have the script do this:

..\media\truck

One last question on the BATCH IMPORT SCRIPT
batch_import.php

//-----------------------------------------------------
//--- Configuration -----------------------------------
//-----------------------------------------------------

// Path to the directory the image data are stored.
// No trailing slash!
$data_src_path = "/path/to/images/folder";

does this mean direct the data source path to all my pictures in
my galleires?

$data_src_path = "C:\gallerys\all\my\images";

or

$data_src_path = "C:\usr\www\htdocs\4images\data\media";

I'm assuming the ($data_src_path) means were all my images
reside or stored. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

I've currently have the script set to:

$data_src_path = "C:\gallerys\all\my\images";

I've got the batch script to come up successfully in the admin
panel but when I click to import it is reading and importing from

\htdocs\4images\data\media\7  

This is strange. This is were I added a couple of images earlier
but I dont want to import from this directory.

One last note. Right after I ran the batch_import.php I then clicked
on  GO TO GALLERY HOME PAGE and I got this error:

Template Error: Couldn't open Template ./templates/4greyblue/media/tga.html

Now I can't even go to my main page /4images/index.php


thanks for the response earlier Jan.

Plugins / Batch Import Plugin - Sugggestion

« on: November 14, 2002, 07:26:56 AM »

// As default, the script will only copy the image files
// from your source folders to the 4images folders.
// After import you will have your image data twice on
// your server.
// If you have not enough server space set this to 1.
// Then the script will move the image files.
// Be carefully with this, your data could be lost!!!
$move_image_files = 0;

Is it possible to do something like this?

$leave_image_Files = 3;

Or

$image_src_files = "/path/to/image/gallery/folder/&/subfolders"


Another words I would like to leave my 10 GIGS of images in one spot.

Moving this much data on a alpha/beta script is too risky for me.

Now all my images galleries are in one /main folder but are broken up
into subs and more subs etc..

It would be nice however, to have an option in the Admin section to
have multiple data source directories. You would might have to form
an array or somthing. Another words have more than one data source.

This way I could have images in:

C:\Gallery\gal_001
C:\Gallery\gal_002
D:\Gallery\junkpics
E:\Gallery\Familypics

Without moving or copied. Just leave them there and let the script read
there locations.

Plugins / BATCH IMPORT /Paths/ & Thumbnails On-The-Fly

« on: November 14, 2002, 06:49:45 AM »

I have a directory structure similar to this below:

x:\Galleries
x:\Galleries\Cars
x:\Galleries\Cars\Honda
x:\Galleries\Cars\Ford
x:\Galleries\Trucks
x:\Galleries\Trucks\Honda
x:\Galleries\Trucks\Ford

This is just an example. But I wish the 4images script could do something similar to, and I quote

This script will import image data from an existing folder structure. The script goes recursively through the folders, creates categories for each folder (subcategories for subfolders) and imports the images.

But a little different. Can I make it recursively search through folders and subfolders and automatically create Catagories and Subcatagories but not import the images? I would like to leave the images exactly were they are. Which by the way is "out of Server_Root".  I would however like the script to continue on an automatically create thumbnails ON THE FLY. to the clients web browser. Example. Lets say I have 750 images in 7 diff catagories and tonight I add another 250 to various cats, Is it possible to make the script "on the fly" 1. read the directory tree and 2. report to the client how many 'new' images have been added, since such and such date and to what catagories received these images?

This does 2 things. First, An admin would never have to scan and do updates everytime he/she adds new images.  Since I add on a regular basis.  Second, when visitors enter the website they will notice instantly if 'new' images has been added, the count & date.

  ON THE FLY - Performance

  Recursively search folders & subfolders
  Update database
  Send to client's Browser instantly changes & updates etc.
  Send Email to Registered or Non-Registered thru Admin Selection any changes or addions to the gallery with the count of images and to what catagories etc. thru a Email_change_template.php module.
 

vynum

P.S. The most important thing I want to do right now is get ImageMagic or NetPBM to Auto thumbnail the images. Yep I've read the BBS and haven't been successfully yet. And Lastly perform what has been explained above.
