Is there a mod or can someone come up with one or something else to help me out here.

Basically I have a category for each user, and right now its fine because there are only 68 users, but I need a way of breaking up the permissions page into multiple pages.

So that when I edit user Zebra,
And the set his permissions, I am currently shown a list of all categories, but I need to break that list into multiple pages.

The reason for this is that once the list gets really large it will corrupt the browser from viewing it correctly.  I have learned this in the past running huge matchmaker systems where we had too many questions (i.e. form fields, drop down boxes etc), so before that happens, can anyone help me to break up that page into multiple pages?

Would also be greatfull if someone could breakup the edit categories page into multiple pages as well, while that shouldnt corrupt the browser, it will take a huge amount of time eventually to load all the categories.  Though this is not critical at the moment, whereas the above request would be.

Thanks,

I got a new user that signed up, and posted one image.  Shortly the image was showing 35 votes, but my server logs were showing the image had only been viewed 15 times.

So in some way someone managed to manipulate the vote system and post multiple votes.  Is there a browser out there that could circumvent the system?

I understand how a logged in user can be kept track of with the votes, but what about guests that are not logged in? How are their votes kept track of?

Thanks,

What I want to do is to draw attention to certain menu items in the user_info.php file.

So for example I have

Home
My Gallery
Announcements
Assignments
Contests
Logoff

What Id like to do is to put a small 5x5 flashing red gif square next to Announcements everytime I make a new announcement.

I know I can do it manually, and thats what I've done, but I'd like to put some kind of if statement in the system that when activated would do it for me.

So in the admin settings, I'd like to have a checkbox, for each menu item, that when checked would correspond to the flashing red gif on the users menu.

I would think it's as simple as if contests_on = 1 then show variable contest_gif where contest_gif is the name of a variable that would actually be an image tag in say functions.php or main.php or wherever it would have to go.

Anyone done anything like this.

Again I know I could do it manually, but I hate that, because Im quite lazy and while I do them to turn them on, I dont usually turn them off until I get really tired of looking at them with no new info.

Thanks,

Hi,
We have disabled the right click, but when an image is submitted, our site sends out an image validation email, and in this email, we would like to be able to add the actual direct link to the photo so that the photo owner can post it to other sites, but this would help to prevent other users from just right clicking on an image and viewing the properties to see what the url is and posting it when it's not there photo to post.

Does this make sence?  Is there a way that we can use the mod that sends out image validation so that it also sends out the direct url to the image in question so that the author of the photo can use it to post to other sites, while other visitors to our site are still using the disabled right click mod?

Thanks,

Im wondering if it would be possible that we have multiple emails to send out when a photo gets declined.

Perhaps it could work something like

On the admins validation page there could be a text box where we can type in a specific reason why the photo is not being validated, then this text could get inserted into the email message that gets sent out so the end user knows specifically why the photo has been declined.

Any takers on doing something like this?

I have the need to ban or rather not let anyone using a free email provider access to register on my site.

So I want to not allow hotmail freemail lycos etc etc etc etc etc.

The problem seems to be that people signup for multiple email accounts on places like hotmail and the only way I spoted this was because a user registered with a username that is almost the same as another registered user in that one might be dubulous and kubulous  and they both have hotmail accounts, so I'd rather just ban any further signups that use any of the free email accounts but allow the ones already registered to stay.

Has anyone done this, is doing this or can do this?

Thanks,

Discussion & Troubleshooting / Was working, now it's not working
« on: June 02, 2003, 09:13:14 PM »
Okay, an hour or so ago, my site was working fine, now its dead.

When I try to login to the admin control panel I get the following error:
Code: [Select]
DB Error: Bad SQL Query: SELECT c.cat_id, c.cat_name, c.cat_description, c.cat_parent_id, c.cat_hits, c.cat_order, c.auth_viewcat, c.auth_viewimage, c.auth_download, c.auth_upload, c.auth_directupload, c.auth_vote, c.auth_sendpostcard, c.auth_readcomment, c.auth_postcomment, COUNT(i.image_id) AS new_images FROM 4imagesg_categories c LEFT JOIN 4imagesg_images i ON (i.cat_id = c.cat_id AND i.image_date >= 1053716443 AND i.image_active = 1) GROUP BY c.cat_id ORDER BY c.cat_name ASC
Got error 28 from table handler


then the system just drops dead.

When I try to go to the galleries index.php page I see the following at the top of the pages:
Code: [Select]
DB Error: Bad SQL Query: SELECT c.cat_id, c.cat_name, c.cat_description, c.cat_parent_id, c.cat_hits, c.cat_order, c.auth_viewcat, c.auth_viewimage, c.auth_download, c.auth_upload, c.auth_directupload, c.auth_vote, c.auth_sendpostcard, c.auth_readcomment, c.auth_postcomment, COUNT(i.image_id) AS new_images FROM 4imagesg_categories c LEFT JOIN 4imagesg_images i ON (i.cat_id = c.cat_id AND i.image_date >= 1053716638 AND i.image_active = 1) GROUP BY c.cat_id ORDER BY c.cat_name ASC
Got error 28 from table handler

I'd like to be able to have an administrator be able to put some photos into multiple categories, so that I can have:
Users Galleries: Nifol
Image: Rosebud.jpg
Show up in both the Nifol category and the "special photos" gallery.

But I only want the administrators to be able to make it so that the image in question shows up in both categories.

Is this possible, anyone working on it.

If this is not clear, basically
I have a category for each username in my system, I also want to create a "highlight" category, so that the administrators can put great photos into the highlight category so that it shows up if a visitor goes to the highlight category or the users category that the image belongs to.

Thanks,

Mods & Plugins (Requests & Discussions) / dropshadow?
« on: May 15, 2003, 06:21:59 AM »
Is it possible to get drop shadows for the full size images, like what is done in webshots.com?

Thanks

Okay my German is not so good (actually I dont speak a word of it  :lol: )
So I've searched but....

What I need is a way to limit the amount of categories shown per page.

As it is now I setup a new category for every user that regsiters, so as you can see it can be quite a burdeon.  So if I have 100 user signed up, and they click on Users Galleries (which contains all 100 users galleries), I'd like to set a per page limit, say 25 galleries (or categories) per page.

Then have a Next page shown at the bottom.

I want to do this so that we dont list all 100 galleries on one page.

Is there already a mod that will do this, or could someon whip one out for me.

My everlasting thanks for help.

Hi,
Can someone write me a small snippet of php coding that I can place in all my necessary php files that will do the following:

Get the users logged in name.
Check the mysql database for any category that is the same as the username
return the category #id of that matching category.

Basically I just want to have a direct link in the logininfo.html file so that when a user logs in, they have a direct link to the category that is the same as thier username.

On my system when a user registers I create a category with the same name as the user, and give only that user permission to upload, so it's their private category which is the same name as their logged in username.

Thanks,

Discussion & Troubleshooting / Is there a time limit to uploads?
« on: May 07, 2003, 08:13:11 PM »
Sometimes, when Im trying to upload, it takes forever even with a small image, then when it's supposed to take me to the page showing the newly uploaded image, I get a DNS error.  If I return to the home page it has added the photo about 90% of the time.

So I see in download.php that there is a timeout limit of sorts, is this also the case for uploading?

Discussion & Troubleshooting / How can I make this work?
« on: May 03, 2003, 08:39:14 PM »
Im trying to get a simple Login at the top of my site using the following:

{if user_loggedout}{lang_reregister}{endif user_loggedout}

I've placed this where I want it, and regardless if a user is logged in or not, it appears.  I only want it to appear if they are NOT logged into the site.

Thanks

Mods & Plugins (Requests & Discussions) / Which mod is it?
« on: May 03, 2003, 04:58:01 AM »
I've seen on some sites on the index.php page that shows the images, and underneath it, it shows, votes, comments, hits, size etc. Which mod does this? Or are there built in variables that I just have to plugin to my home page or somewhere else?

Thanks

Is there already a mod that will do this?  I tried searching but was totally overwhelmed with a list of over 450 threads.

Basically what I would like to do is for the category dropdown list, is to only show the main categories and not the subcategories.

I have my system setup like

A (main category)
-Anton (sub category of A)
-Adam
B (main category)
-Betty (Sub category of B)
-Brian
ETC.
ETC.
ETC.

I want only to show the main categories (ie.  A B C D E F G H  etc).  For me the busier the site gets and the more users it gets, the larger that dropdown category list gets.  I'd rather the users click on the letter that is their usernames beginning letter then let them see all the subcategories that are displayed on the regular category page for that letter.

Is this possible?
