The pagination bar scrolls down with me even when I past the "Quick Reply" box, which differs from how it is without it since it stops a bit below the quick reply box.


Not sure if this is a "bug".

You shouldn't even have the Quick Reply option in the Gallery Board..

[AshFR]

Yeah I realized that, sorry didn't notice.

Works lovely. Thanks, nice work.

Lovely, thanks! I noticed one "bug" (I think), trying to link a longer url (such as 4.bp.blogspot.com/-O4vjQiY0Ga0/UKPzJtuwKVI/AAAAAAAE9MY/SwlcW8nF2zo/s640/IMG_0267MonetLBarRuddyM-WhiteDot_11_1.jpg) is too long a field, and gets cut off. I can't link at all to that image... Is it possible to make the field a bit bigger? Thanks

Edit: Also it seems https pics are not allowed, and I have quite a few on Picasa web

Youch. And I thought a 100 character limit would be more than enough...

I've increased the limit to 150 characters, so try v1.0.6. Unfortunately you cannot post images from a secure site, so any images with a https:// header will not be displayed even if I enabled it in the code.

This is one nice plugin and don't know how I missed it early in December.

O.K.. Picasa IS doable, now that Todge has upped the 100 character limit .. I've figured an easy work around. (I don't like Picasa.. Imgur is so much easier)

1- go to your photo
2-Select "Link to this photo"
3-Select size and click on (image only no link)
4 copy pasta the "embed image" to your gallery
5- Simply change https to http.
6-Post your photo

( I shall now spend part of my day moving photos off Picasa to my Imgur.)

[Sophia]

Thanks very much VERY nice plugin
PS How do people post a comment on pictures in the Gallery?

[misskika]

^ I don't think you can?


Also, I noticed a problem. When you get to page two of the gallery, it no longer posts the same as page one. On page one each post is just the picture you uploaded plus the comment and the time, and it's also centered. When you get to page two, it starts showing your avatar with each upload along with the ability to quote and it's alligned to the left, like a real post. Is there a way to make it "gallery" style for all pages, not just the first?

You can, but it's a bit hidden at the moment. You'd need to click "Add picture" and then click "Reply"... but it would be nice if members could post comments on pictures - where it is now is easy to miss

[blueshead]

Noooo.. I like that they CAN"T post comments about my piccys.. heh.

[Sophia]

Haha, maybe it can be made an option... I'm wouldn't want to drive poor Todge witless though

Correct, it's not possible for members to leave comments on a fellow member's image as that would mean modifying the original post. The only way to do that would be to make all members moderators in the gallery board.

As for the problem with the gallery only displaying properly on the first viewed page, that's due to the way V5 switches pages in a thread. We are hopefully getting a solution to this soon, but in the meantime you can add this to your Global Footer, it's a work-around that will make all plugins work throughout all the pages in a thread.

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
// Force refresh on pagination..

function forceRefresh()
{
var pag = document.getElementsByTagName('li');
for(p=0; p<pag.length; p++)
{
if(pag[p].className.match(/pagination/))
{
var pLink = pag[p].getElementsByTagName('a')[0];
pLink.onclick = function(){document.location = this.href;}
}
}
return;
}

if(location.href.match(/\/(thread|recent)/))
{
if (window.addEventListener)
{
window.addEventListener('load', forceRefresh, false);
}
else if(window.attachEvent)
{
window.attachEvent('onload', forceRefresh);
}
}
// -->
</script>

Todge, just a question: would it be possible to add uploads to the gallery? I don't mind paying for extra space... I think some members are a bit scared of hosting the images externally

[Todge]

Do you mean the 'Add Attachment' feature?

It may be possible to allow that in the code, but there would be no way to have a check to ensure the member is uploading an image, or that they are only adding one attachment to the gallery.

You could also end up not having the image added to the post if something goes wrong, and end up with just the comment the member added, and to add to that, any image that was uploaded to the gallery would not be able to be edited, with the only option to delete that gallery entry altogether, which would mess up any timeline if images are being posted in sequence.
