Discussion & Troubleshooting / Admin approves account but Email is not sent to user to confirm activation!

« on: January 31, 2006, 04:45:22 PM »

Hi,

When you set the 'Account activation' settings to 'by Admin', as each user registers they are sent an email to confirm that they have registered and will become activated after the admin has approved the registration. This email is sent and received perfectly. Admin also receives an email informing them they have to approve a registration by clicking on a link - all of this works fine.

What doesn't happen is that after admin has activated the new user's registration via the 4images site, the activation email to say they have been successful and can now login to participate doesn't get sent to their email address.

I presume the 4images script has a bug with sending the activation email when the Account Activation is set to 'by Admin', because all other types of emails from 4images are sent except this particular one. I have changed SMTP settings and there's no difference, the Activation confirmation email to the user is never sent!

I've looked around the forum for an answer to this (which has been raised) but there is no solution yet. Please help.

Thanks,

Loz

Discussion & Troubleshooting / Powerpoint .ppt file download

« on: November 17, 2005, 01:10:47 PM »

Hi,

I've uploaded a few Powerpoint files to my website using the batch upload mod method. I've also installed the 'download' folder module to allow users to download larger image sizes using the download button. The Powerpoint files upload and display correctly but when you click on either download or zip the file opens in the browser displaying a whole load of text jargon.

I've amended includes/upload_definitions.php adding the correct MIME definition:

$mime_type_match['ppt'] = array("application/vnd", "application/mspowerpoint", "application/ms-powerpoint", "application/mspowerpnt", "application/vnd-mspowerpoint", "application/vnd.ms-powerpoint", "application/powerpoint", "application/x-powerpoint", "application/x-mspowerpoint");

I've also included 'ppt' as an allowed extension in the control panel settings page but nothing seems to solve this problem.

Please help!

Mods & Plugins (Requests & Discussions) / getimagesize workaround

« on: November 16, 2005, 04:00:06 PM »

Hi,

I've been noticing a slow down in the categories page due to the 'getimagesize' function. I've tried stripping it out in functions.php and it works better now.

However, could someone create a mod that makes the 'getimagesize' function work only on the details.php page to show the dimensions of the image below the main image. Therefore on the categories page, the dimensions of the image are not displayed and the page loads quicker because php doesn't have to read every file in the category to find dimensions.

I've tried several workarounds but none work properly. It seems as though the categories.php and details.php pages link to the same 'getimagesize' function in functions.php. A script which prevents the categories.php page from generating the 'getimagesize' info and allow details.php to request image dimensions would fix this problem.

Thanks,

Mods & Plugins (Requests & Discussions) / Batch Upload to work with large 'Download' images

« on: August 16, 2005, 11:54:51 AM »

Hi,

I've installed the 'Download' module which enables users to download a larger version of the image when they click on the download button. Now, I need to import lots of images preserving the folder structure but also allow the thumbnails as well as the download images to be recognised.

I've tried the 'Batch Upload' module but it doesn't recognise thumbnails and the larger download images. Can someone please tell me how to achieve this matter correctly?

Thanks.

Mods & Plugins (Requests & Discussions) / Lightbox ability to download 'big' and 'detail' page images

« on: June 28, 2005, 10:34:31 AM »

Hi,

I've implemented the 'Alternate directory for download files' tutorial made by Chris found here: http://www.4homepages.de/forum/index.php?topic=7499.0

Here's a quick introduction to the topic. I was looking to make an alternative directory on the server for really big images. Chris made a script that would mean if I included a new folder called 'big' and placed it inside each directory, I could upload all the larger images to this folder. When visitors tried hitting the download button on the details page, it would then download the images in the 'big' folder from that category (if there was one, otherwise it would download the detail page image).

Now what I need to do is to make the Lightbox section give the option to download all the 'details' page images as well as the current default setting of downloading 'big' images.

Please help. Thanks,

Loz

Mods & Plugins (Requests & Discussions) / Additional text boxes in registration

« on: April 27, 2005, 10:20:45 AM »

Hi,

I need to know a little more about the people who want to register on my site before I accept their registration.

Is it possible to add extra required text fields to the registration form (address, postcode, name, occupation, telephone & fax) which will also be included in the database and then allow them to update these details through their control panel once registered?

I've made several searches and browsed the forum for a solution to this problem. Please help.

Thanks, Loz.

Mods & Plugins (Requests & Discussions) / Multiple search queries

« on: April 26, 2005, 05:25:33 PM »

Hi,

Can someone tell me how to add multiple searches on the advanced search page? Say for instance someone knows 15 filenames they want and don't want to keep going back to the search to find the next image.

If they could enter all the filenames into individual search boxes in the advanced search (up to 20 search boxes) and then do a 'Group search' so to speak, it would search for all of those filenames and the results would display all of the images corresponding to the individual filename searches. They could then effectively add them all to their 'Lightbox' and download them from there.

I know there is a way to do this by including a comma ',' between each word in your search but it would look a lot cleaner if there were separate text boxes on the advanced search page to do the same.

Thanks.

Mods & Plugins (Releases & Support) / [MOD] Alternate directory for download files.

« on: April 19, 2005, 04:29:08 PM »

Hi,

Code Update !   http://www.4homepages.de/forum/index.php?topic=7499.msg148451#msg148451 @rembrandt

I'm trying to make an image gallery which will enable users download very big files. The problem is that if I stick these 4mb files into the media folder and into the appropriate category they show up on the detail page.

All I want is to do is to make a separate folder on my server for the big 4mb files which is only available to download when triggered by a user clicking 'download' (and zip download) on the detail page and also when they visit their 'Lightbox' to download the images together. I don't want the big image to load up in a new window, just a simple download.

I've got about 1000 images to upload, so I don't want to assign every image with a download url in the Admin panel.

Ideally I would like to login to the admin panel, go to 'check new images', check for all of them in every category then upload to the database (thumbnails are already in the 'thumbnail' folder on the server). I guess because the images will all have the same filename in each different folder the download buttons just need to be linking to a different folder on the server and then my problem should be solved.

I know there are similar topics on this and I have tried my patience with them all, installed them and they either don't work or aren't quite what I am looking for.

Please help because I can see it being a relatively easy mod and I'm sure will help others who have been confused by the topics like 'Different download options / Verschiedene Download Möglichke' & '[Mod] Image/Media In New Window (easy/more practical)'.

Thanks,

Loz
