Oh. No attachment prompt here. But I guess that's would be a painless fix using templates, assuming the rating is stored with the comment. |
Sorry, I didn't understand that you were talking about each individual rating by each user. The ratings with vBa Gallery are not stored with the comments as they are with PhotoPost. They are stored in a separate table that stores the userid, imageid, rating, and IP address. Personally I think storing them in the comments table is not exactly the best way to do it. By doing that you're adding more entries to that table and causing it to have to scan more data than necessary. With the ratings being stored in their own table it shouldn't be too hard to select the ones from a particular image and print out the information.

Post counts: for reputation evaluation. A guy posts 26 pictures and 10 forum entries, I don't want to see a post count of 36, I need the breakdown. Again, that's a hack I can probably manage myself.

It doesn't currently add to the user's post count when they submit an image. It wouldn't be hard to add that feature though (as I'm assuming from your posts that you know a little about what you're doing
).

Hubris. You don't know how far or in what direction anyone will hack. Nor can you forsee all circumstances in the real world. You are forgiven of course. But this is one reason I want out of photopost. If you are storing in a directory per userid that is a fine solution. All that matters is that photo files are physically identified by user. Just my two cents thanks.

Hmm... Still not much I can think of that you could do where a quick backup of your /gallery/files folder and the database wouldn't cover everything, but I'm suppose there could be some cases where it was hacked to an extent that it would require a little more than that. Either way, it still shouldn't be too hard to create backups of anything additional you might add. And just to expand a little on exactly the way files are stored, it's basically the same as vBulletin's attachment system, as in if you're user id is 583 then your files would be stored in /gallery/files/5/8/3 (just wanted to make sure that was completely clear and you knew
exactly how they were stored).

Rolling thumbnails for picture cruising: my guys love it. Far less clicking, and introduces photos you might not normallly ferret out. Damn, I don't want to code that. It's sometimes hard for us techies to remember, users are in this for the photos: everything else is crappola.

I do have it in the back of my mind to add this feature, but of course I had to quit adding new stuff at some point and just get the thing out the door. I'm sure it will make it's way into the script at some point, I just don't want to make any promises as to when. If you do know a little about PHP and such though it probably wouldn't be hard to add this in yourself. There's some code that is used to determine what image should be displayed when the next/previous links on the showimage page are clicked that I'm sure would make for a nice "guide" to do this.
