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

[Gargoyle]

Quick question I have...

How can I make it so new albums when created have all of the member group options checked by default?

[Nao 尚]

shumilica, send me by pm: an account with smf admin rights, and an account with smg admin rights. I will try to see what's wrong.

gargoyle, this is the default behavior in Aeva Media.

I just noticed that selecting 'Regular Members' for the allowed groups does not allow users placed in another group to view the gallery.

I used a number of various groups.  On all other SMF mods I use, selecting Regular member allows them to view an action. 

I hope this post makes sense.  Was this intentional?  If so is there a way around it?  I'd like 'Regular Member' selection to allow all user groups above that to see it as well.

Thank you for any help you can provide.

You worded the issue I am having better than I... Nao could you please send me a PM with what all the foxy addon does. I have looked and I don't see anything that lists what all it does.

[Nao 尚]

Marcus, this isn't possible. Regular members = members with no primary group. If you set a primary group to an account, it will need its own set of permissions.
Aeva Media deals with this in that it shows you in bold all membergroups that should be checked in order for all members to have the permission. (In Album add/edit, not in permission profiles, which I have yet to add support for.)

Gargoyle, just click on "Foxy!" in my signature... It does have a complete feature list.

Any Heads on my issue ?

Hmmm... Well I am using the gallery.. And only Guests and Regular users in the membergroup section are checked by default. I would like to know where to change it so they will all be checked by default. I found some arrays and a small list but editing them did nothing to the check boxes.. LOL!!

[Angelotus]

@Nao, I did it myself and it works fine. In action see: http://www.mypicas.com (right sidebar). Anyway, great mod and thanks for sharing.

[Arantor]

Well, I don't know what you mean, and I don't see why the post should contain that, it's an insult, really.

My comment is not any of that. Let's stick to the topic now please.

Edited your original post, since you are not answering the question.

Now let's move on..

Flamer> It's in my to do list. It's a very long list. It's one of the top priorities in it, but it still has to wait a bit. I'll probably release a beta before I look into this, I'm not sure yet. I'll try to do it before next week.

You really can't wait for the beta...?
Reminder: Aeva Media = SMG + Aeva with tons of new features for SMG (and a much cooler admin area for Aeva, as well as auto-embedding permissions in future betas.)

[Nao 尚]

Are you sure you don't give the users who access the admin area this permission 'Administrate forum and database'?

Okay, I see why it's working on my forum and not yours --- because I'm using Aeva Media.
There's a bug in SMG which I fixed in Aeva Media, and I didn't backport the fix to SMG (I'm not sure whether I'll release a final update anyway.)
Open MGallery-Admin.php, look for:

Code Select Expand

'permissions' => array('mgallery_admin'),

Replace with:

Code Select Expand

'permissions' => array('mgallery_manage'),

Easy as pie. I remember wondering where the heck that mgallery_admin was coming from

[shumilica]

So it's not me! That is good news for me

Are you sure this is the only modification necessary? Because I've made it and it still has the same behavior..
Or do I have to change wherever I see "mgallery_admin" to "mgallery_manage"?

Hello!  I am very excited to use this modification but ran into a slight error on install.  I had been using SMFGallery (the free one) and have removed it in favor of this one (SMFMediaGallery) since I wanted to have the option to allow members to upload other types of media rather than only pictures.

I'm not very good with some things so I apologize in advance for having missed something obvious (if that is what turns out to be the issue).

I downloaded the package (SMF Media Gallery 2.0.5) and tried to install it on my forums (SMF 2.0 RC2).

I got an error on this step:

5.     Execute Modification     ./Sources/Load.php     Test failed
In the lines under this step, I found only one 'fail'.
2.     Replace     ./Sources/Load.php     Test failed

This is what I found when I clicked the little notepad on the error line

Find
mem.last_login, mem.karma_good,
Replace
mem.last_login, mem.karma_good, mem.mgal_total_items, mem.mgal_total_comments,


Is there something I can do to fix this?  I'm assuming that the problem is with my personal boards and is not an issue with the modification overall.


Thank you for your time and any feedback.

How can I replaise the upload bar with a url bar?
So instead of uploading to the server of the forum it has to be on an extern server?

[Kindred]

illusioner : looks like another mod has changed the line that you need to edit...    so you will need to manually apply that change.

Darkness: Can not be done...

Im already 3 updates behind... ;/

Why not ?
extern video url can be implemented but why not for images.
