Feedback & Suggestions / Is there a way to send email when a new image is uploaded?

« on: January 31, 2003, 04:54:30 PM »

let's see if somebody else needs such a feature... then it's clear, if it worth spending time  

Yeah, I guess we got lost that other idea (email alert for specific categories).  Personally, I was looking for a features that creates an email alert when someone uploads any image, without needing validation.

The MOD you provided will certainly work for those who post images on a gallery that requires validation for every post.

Lemme ask you this; do other 4image galleries use image validation most of the time?

You can use http://www.4homepages.de/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3627 MOD for this. Just modify it a bit to send email to majordomo (or whatever listserv you are using) instead of uploaded pic owner.

I might have misunderstood the function of the MOD you referred to, so please bear with me:

Looking over the code, it seems to apply just to recently uploaded images that need validation.  Is there a MOD that would apply to an image that was uploaded and didn't need validation?  Due to the number of images that are posted during the day, I don't usually require images to be validated.

I know an email is sent to the administrators when someone posts an image that needs validation.  But is there a way that function could be expanded to send email to a listserv when someone simply posts an image?

I'm trying to do something like this for a listserv - whenever an artist posts a new image to the gallery, users subscribed to the listserv would receive an email alert.  I'd love to see this feature in 4images!

Discussion & Troubleshooting / File upload problem - time outs.

Yes.  One person mentioned that the error message said "...the transfer time limit of 30 seconds has been exceeded."

I've come across that once, but using a cable modem or T1 to upload files, it rarely happens.

Discussion & Troubleshooting / File upload problem - time outs.

A number of users with modem connections have complained that they have trouble uploading files because their upload sessions "time out" after 30 seconds.

Is there any way to adjust the time so they can complete an upload?  If so what file would I find the code to adjust the time?

Thanks!

I've been trying to figure this out for the longest time (and after 1100 pictures posted) .  Thank you so much!!

Discussion & Troubleshooting / Ugly, aliased thumbnails using Imagemagick & Autothumbnailer.

« on: October 07, 2002, 06:53:39 AM »

I can't seem to get Imagemagick 5.4.7 to create antialiased thumbnails.

In the image_utils.php file I notice this:

Code: [Select]


function resize_image_im($src, $dest, $quality, $width, $height, $image_info) {
  global $convert_options;

  $command = $convert_options['convert_path']." -quality ".$quality." -antialias -sample $width"."x"."$height \"$src\" \"$dest\"";
  system($command);
  return (file_exists($dest)) ? 1 : 0;


It would seem that the option for antialiasing is on, and based on the sample width and height of the original file.  Yet, Autothumbnailer & Imagemagick produces very ugly aliased files. Can someone see what needs changing in the code to fix this, or is it a problem with Imagemagick?

Discussion & Troubleshooting / Questions about email notification, newsletter functions

« on: August 17, 2002, 05:11:03 PM »

You can send mail to one or all of your users from the Control Panel under the "Send Mail" option. It is the last option under the "Users" section.

True - what I meant was to have an email automatically sent to one particular address whenever someone adds a picture to the gallery.

For example:

1. a registered user directly uploads an image to the gallery
2. an email notification detailing what was uploaded is automatically sent to newsletter@isp.com

It alerts those subscribed to the newsletter that a new picture is available.

This function works whenever someone uploads a pic that needs to be validated, but not when a picture is directly added to the gallery.

Discussion & Troubleshooting / Questions about email notification, newsletter functions

« on: August 17, 2002, 04:48:29 AM »

I tried setting up email notification in the control panel, hoping it would send a message to a certain address whenever a new image was posted.  Unfortunately, it only send an email when a pictures needs validating.  Is there a way to send a notification if someone directly uploads an image?

Also, the features list on the website mentioned a newsletter function.  Unfortunately, I can't read german, so I'm not sure where this function is located.  It doesn't appear in the control panel - perhaps I'm missing it? (Using 1.6.1)
