SMF Media Gallery (SMG) - 2.0.5 is out! (December 2)

[mattchewone]

Well, there already is.

Which one is it? Does it display the image in that external forum as an image and not just as a link?

[Dragooon]

The Direct link supplied can be used to display it on an external forum.

It only works with [img ] tags. Is there any way to include IMG tags in the link so the users can simply copy the entire link with IMg tags in to another forum.

Thanks

Here is a direct link to a gallery item on my site: http://londonbass.com/forum/MGalleryItem.php?id=393

Look below the image and you will see 3 links to copy: bbc tag, embed code, and a direct link.

Every item in a smg gallery has these links. How you missed this, I have no idea. Sorry if I sound rude but it's an obvious feature.

Random = 1970?

Ok not that random, I think the earliest date I've seen is 2003. Anyways it's sometihng between every 8 - 10 item uploaded itn enters a random date.

Are they photos from camera? Is "Use Exif datetime for upload date if available" enabled under Admin > Gallery > Settings?

[Nao 尚]

Dragooon, the setting is on by default (because I love it).

[The_Wii_Nes_Boy]

No they are art work, is it still possible that the images have Exif data? I'm more than happy to turn off Exif as I don't really need it.

[Nao 尚]

You can disable the option per-album. Yes, any pic can have Exif data I guess. Although less likely for non-camera pics. Depends on the program used.

[The_Wii_Nes_Boy]

OK thanks for the info, I've just disabled Exif all together as I don't require it. I'll see if it makes a difference.

[Dragooon]

Make sure to also disable that single feature under config as well.

[Nao 尚]

It'd be best to keep it on in case someone creates an album with holiday pics

[The_Wii_Nes_Boy]

It's done but in the process of checking thing out I noticed something else!

HTML embed code: <img src="http://twnb-worldofstuff.com/MGalleryItem.php?id=1063" alt="" />
Direct link: http://twnb-worldofstuff.com/MGalleryItem.php?id=1063

None of these links work!! This is the correct direct link>>  http://twnb-worldofstuff.com/index.php?action=mgallery;sa=item;id=1063

[Dragooon]

Make sure MGalleryItem.php is chmodded to 777.

[The_Wii_Nes_Boy]

Set to 777 but I'm still getting the internal server error.

I dont think you quite understand.

I would like it so that when users copy the direct link, paste it in to another forum it comes up as an image not a link. In order for this it needs to have [ IMG] tags embedded into the link. Im not sure how it would be done which is why i am asking.

[Dragooon]

Just put the link in [img] tags.

[mattchewone]

Just put the link in [img] tags.

If it was just for me then it wouldnt be a problem but because i would like it so that users can also 'host' there images on the forum it wouldnt be practical for then to always have to add [IMG] tags when pasting the link in to another forum.
