[Darknico]

Weird, everything has been ok, then for some reason today the icons say sorry you are not allowed to view this file.Make sure you are connected to the server.  ??

I have the latest upgrade 1.5beta RC1

Regenerate thumbnails and previews and empty the cache

Check out your album permissions...

Give us a direct link where we can see the issue for ourselves...

By using the  MGallery-Admin.php from the 1.0.2 installation and replacing the one that comes with RC1, i managed to solve the albums permission problem. Now, I use the RC1 file to turn on/off the Highslide feature on each album and then i replace it with the 1.0.2 file in order to set the permissions.

If only I could find which part of the code from 102 file I need to add to the RC1 file to get rid of this stupid method of mine...

Well... v1.0.2 is very far from being compatible, I'm surprised it even works at all...

Don't you have a problem with charset conversion? Why do you keep trying if you know you're not going to be able to convert until we can reproduce your problem? (Which I've given up on, for now...)

Anyway--Your other problem, I can't reproduce either... The only thing that should be specified is that if you empty the membergroup list and save, when you come back it'll say Regular members is checked, even though it actually isn't. I fixed this.

Open MGallery-Sub.php, and replace

Code Select Expand

$access = explode(',',$access);

With

Code Select Expand

$access = $access === '' ? array() : explode(',',$access);

1. I try to regenerate album icon :

"Regeneration has been halted to prevent server time outs, it will automatically resume in a second. So far, 20 of 51 items done."

And try this repeat error.

2. I try to change album permission. And submit. Always seen members. not set to other usergroup and Users.

SMG : 1.5 RC1
SMF : 2.0B4

If you have a crash, just reload. The server will start again from where it stopped.

2. I try to change album permission. And submit. Always seen members. not set to other usergroup and Users.

"Seen members"?

Anyway...--Nope, I have no issue on my side, really. You must have a configuration issue...

Well, the problem  with characters still excists but I never meant to leave CPG. My main interest in SMG is the support for flv videos as I was looking for a video gallery module for ages...

[Nao 尚]

Which makes me think, what do you think CPG has, that SMG should (and doesn't) have? I'm interested... I left Coppermine for two reasons (I couldn't get my users to leave comments, only I was able to, and I couldn't bridge my custom theme to CPG... Had to do a mockup version in html, which was frustrating), and I really see nothing that I regret from CPG. Anything you can think of?

[Nibogo]

I can update to 1.5 RC1 overwriting the MGallery files??

[Nao 尚]

No... There are also changes in the installer.
Plus, you need to run the database updater from time to time. (Well, I don't, but I do my changes directly through phpmyadmin. Being a co-dev and all that. Makes me think I forgot to change a field type in my own database, oops!)

I had no problems bridging CPG with my SMF and using it with my custom made theme. I have even placed it within the forum: see here for an example http://www.authorway.com/SMF/index.php?action=InMEDIA

Not ever faced a comments problem with CPG.

I still believe that the strong point of SMG is the support for flvs. And that is that makes SMG unique.

Thanks for the info , but I think of is better if the uninstallation dont remove the mgallery directory , because we can lose all the files when we try to update to a new version

[Dragooon]

no it doesn't .

[genieuk]

I know, I know,

but any update yet about when the new converter will be done

Thank you,
Mathew

[Nibogo]

no it doesn't .

Its true excuse me :p

Installed Media Gallery RC1 Thanks

I see an empty page there...
And how did you integrate your custom template? CPG is using a HTML template and doesn't support integrating external php calls... (At least that's what it did a couple of years ago.)

@Nibogo> It never will. It would be crazy of us to do that...! It even became hell for me when I decided to change the default generic icons to larger and better-looking ones. It took me some time to find out how to seamlessly copy those new files into your own mgal_data directory (which you may, or may not, have renamed to something else). So, basically, the only thing from v1.0.x that you lose when updating to v1.5, are those 4 ugly 16x16 icons that used to show up for audio & video files

@genieuk> Which converter? AFAIK, both converters are in a current state of cryogenic stasis. They both seem to be working well.

It isnt empty.

You have to wait for a while since it is iframed in a custom action...

[Nao 尚]

You have a problem with your javascript code... The iframe is not loading at all on my Opera.
I simpled used the iframe url and got to access your gallery. Basically, what you're saying is -- Coppermine sucks so much that you're force to use the all-too dreaded iframes to get something that can be integrated with your template.
Is user account info correctly transmitted to the end script, btw?

[dimdom]

Yes, everything is working fine.

As for Opera, what can I say? I dont care a lot since all of my scripts work excellent on Firefox, IE7,Safari and Chrome. Most of the users use IE& and Firefox now...
