Very strange..

Can you please try temporarily disabling al of your other plugins and see if it then behaves itself.

If it does, start enabling them again, testing as you go until you find the plugin that is having issues with the Gallery plugin.

I had the same problem as nekobot so I tried disabling all of my plugins. Unfortunately, the plugin that seems to be the problem is the Yootil Library, which is too bad since it's needed to run several other plugins.

Hope this information helps.

That is very strange indeed.. The Yootil Library is simply a plugin full of functions to make it easier for others to create plugins of their own, by itself the Yootil Library does nothing.

But.. Try moving the Gallery Plugin to the top of your plugins list, above the Yootil Library, and see if that works.

Todge - We've been using this on our new forum photoshopelementsandmore.com and it works really well. Thank you for this and the most recent update!

One issue I am seeing is with the Simple Image Upload plugin. If you try using that to load an image to the Gallery, it puts the bbcode in the comment field and not in the URL field. I'm not sure if you can control that or it is under the control of that developer, but I thought I'd let you know.

That can only be fixed by changing the Simple Image Upload plugin code to target the URL field rather than the comments field, so there's little I can do.

Sorry.

Thanks Todge.  I thought that would be the case.

As a member adds images to their gallery, they get appended, so they show up oldest to most recent.  Since the oldest have likely been already seen, it would be wonderful if they could be put into the reverse order.  Any way to make that happen?

Another question, this time just for my understanding: when I click Edit on a members gallery post, the URL field is grayed out; why is that?

It's not possible to actually reverse the posts, though it is possible to make it 'seem' as if they are reversed, though that would take a lot of work.

That said, it IS possible to take you to the first 'un-viewed' image in the gallery, and I'll try to add that option to the code as soon as I have time.

I have also been meaning to revamp this code for some time to display the images differently.. I'll try to get to that asap too.

A moderator or admin should never need to change an image of another member's gallery, so I greyed it out to make it impossible, I added the editing ability of staff members so that they can edit or remove any comments that they see as unfit for their forum. If an image is inappropriate, you still have the option to remove it.

Thanks for the reply Todge, and thanks for the plugin!

Just a thought, probably not doable, but the order could be reversed if it were easy to prepend each new post.

[Todge]

If only it was that easy... Unfortunately we have no control how the posts are initially listed, that is controlled by Pb's software.

Reversing the posts on any one page is relatively easy, but because the list of posts are spread across multiple pages, any posts not on the currently viewed page are out of reach, so if a gallery contains multiple pages, the best I could do is send you to the last page of the gallery and reverse the posts on that page, but doing that you could end up with only 1 image on the page, even though the gallery could contains hundreds of images.

Ya, if only...LOL! I understand; thanks for the explanation.

Oh, got a feature request for you. Is there any reason the URL can't be allowed to begin with https?  Right now members trying to post images from their Flickr account have been running into this; if they delete the 's' then it posts correctly, but it would sure be nice if we didn't have the explain it every time it comes up!

[Todge]

HTTPS images are held in a secure location, and I don't think they can be hotlinked, that's why the plugin refuses to accept them.

Try posting a HTTPS image in a regular post, if it posts OK, and is viewable by all, let me know and I'll add HTTPS protocol to the plugin.

[tpgettys]

Do you mean link this?

...and now a new request!

There was a little grousing on the part of one user that felt that the Comment button should be renamed Add Comment, and the Add Comment button should be renamed something like OK. They were having trouble because the names didn't make clear the sequence.  I understand how they got confused, but not a big deal if you think the user-if shouldn't change.

The more important issue is that several members have gotten confused because the Comment button is at the top, but the comment box appears below the image, which in many cases means it is off-screen.  Having them display in close proximity would be helpful; what do you think?

I've updated the plugin to accept the 'https' protocal, but haven't changed the names of the buttons yet. I'm trying to find a way of doing it without hard coding it into the plugin.

[tpgettys]

Thanks, but I think there is a problem with the beta version. The Add Image button became Reply.

It still appears as 'Add Image' on my test forum.

Adding the 'https' protocol shouldn't effect the way the plugin works at all, other than allowing image URLs of that type. The plugin doesn't even look at that until the image is about to be posted, so I can't understand how it has changed the Add Image button.
