THR Posted October 29, 2005 Posted October 29, 2005 Thanks 9527. It looks exactly the same with the default IPB skin though. I'm sure the ugly-as-hell skin detracts from any bugs anyway :whistle:

Frontpage Posted October 29, 2005 Posted October 29, 2005 As far as I know most everything was fixed in this release. If you are encountering an issue with a specific item you can either open a support ticket or submit a bug report. I would suggest starting with a support ticket as it may be a simple upgrade issue or another possible issue. I already did for the last version of Gallery and was told that this latest version 2.0.3. would correct the problem. It just made it worse.Text of old Ticket: #226240: I am requesting the display code and whatever code changes are necessary to display .mov (Quicktime) files in IPB gallery version 2.0.2. I do not give permission for you to access my server as we wish to do the changes ourself. Please refer to this thread that explains the problem- http://forums.invisionpower.com/index.php?showtopic=196007 Thanks for the help! Rob Response from Invision Hello, The media display problem has been solved in 2.0.3 ( which is currently finishing up QA testing ). Unfortunately, the fix is a tad complex, and would require access to your server to apply. We do respect your privacy and security, and if you don't wish to allow us access to upload the changed files, then you will need to upgrade to 2.0.3 when it is released this week. Adam Kinder Developer, Invision Power Services, Inc adam[at]invisionpower.com We have yet to be provided the display codes as requested. In the last version 2.0.2 of Gallery, movie formats played well except for .mov (Quicktime). Now all that displays is the embed code. We have re-cached and that does not solve the problem.Screen Capture of Problem:
Thandi Posted October 29, 2005 Posted October 29, 2005 can someone please explain to me how we turn off the feature that shows a random pic from the gallery on the portal page? I've looked throughout the acp and cna't seem to find thisfeature. Thank you :)
jethro Posted October 30, 2005 Posted October 30, 2005 What? :o He's an aussie mate and is having you on :thumbsup: Thanks IPS :) There's my day blown.
THR Posted October 30, 2005 Posted October 30, 2005 What? :o Yeah, I'm only kidding, probably chose the wrong emoticon :P It's odd because they all display fine for me, I don't get any of those issues. But obviously there are lots of different factors.

But obviously there are lots of different factors. LOL! No worries mate! I wondered at first if it was the skin but its not heavilly modified, mostly colours and gradients. Testing it in the default 2.1 skin shows the same errors which kind of put my mind at rest. I tried re-contructing the thumbnails and everything.
SirHaakon Posted October 30, 2005 Posted October 30, 2005 Please don't flame me, because this is an honest post, but I followed the directions to upgrade, it says I have upgraded successfully, and it shows I'm running "Invision Gallery 2.0.3" at the bottom. I don't notice anything different from the previous incarnation of the gallery, however... what's changed? Also, I still can't figure out how to simply list albums by member name. Did that get implemented, per massive user request? As an admin, how do I edit album titles/descriptions and/or photo captions/descriptions?
slipin Posted October 31, 2005 Posted October 31, 2005 You know this problem of open directories should really be addressed. Even the free gallery scripts auto create zero data indexes.open dirs

(pull down from the menu show albums only) "IF ALBUM ONLY, list albums rather than images? This will display the category as a list of albums instead of images, sorting still applies." choose "yes"---I think that will do it (I hope :blush:) "edit album titles/descriptions and add/or photo captions/description?" --> for that, I believe it's Groups in the same gallery main page...just go in and on the far right, you'll see a list saying edit for all the groups you have, go in and in there you can set who can edit their album stuff...I think this will satisfy what you are looking for :)
Management Matt Posted October 31, 2005 Management Posted October 31, 2005 To fix the issue with movies not being shown, try this: Run these queries via the SQL Toolbox in IPB (ACP -> Admin -> SQL Tool Box) UPDATE ibf_gallery_media_types SET display_code='<embed autoplay="true" showcontrols="true" showstatusbar="true" showtracker="true" src="{FILE}">' WHERE id=1; UPDATE ibf_gallery_media_types SET display_code='<embed autoplay="true" showcontrols="true" showstatusbar="true" showtracker="true" src="{FILE}">' WHERE id=2;

I don't think I explained myself clearly, however. I don't have any "categories"... i just have a bunch of members with multiple albums. I would like to have one list show up with a link to each member's main gallery page which shows all of their albums. Right now, it just shows a list of everyone's albums in the order they were created (mutiple albums by the same person in no alphabetical order). Apparently this was the way it was on an old version of the gallery, and there have been several requests to re-implement this, but I don't think it still exists yet.

I don't want to change settings for different users to be able to edit their information, I want to know how, as an admin, I can edit album and/or photo descriptions right on the page, without going through the ACP like I can for any other forum/topic/post on the discussion boards. The two are integrated, so they should share the exact same functionality. It would be great if the gallery employed the "click and hold to edit" feature for photo captions and album descriptions that the forums have added to topics and posts.

If you could post what the current default display codes are in an open section of the forum for reference that would be great.

I'm the Admin, I have the permission to upload video files in the group permissions and wmv is listed in the types of attachments. Weired!
briansol Posted November 3, 2005 Posted November 3, 2005 anyone else wish the gallery admin CP was set up like the Blogs? there's like no homepage for the gallery admin-- it just throws you right in :P
sonyinsider Posted November 4, 2005 Posted November 4, 2005 This is occuring to me as well, except it's not movies, but just html that links to audio files (mp3, wav, etc) -- nothing embedded, either. sigh.
