Photo Album!

Kai · Post by **Kai** » Sat Apr 17, 2004 8:29 pm

Wow, nothng blew up. Sweet

Anyway, see the little linky in the upper right that says Album? Yeah, click on it. There's catagories for general albums, and a link to your personal album, and user albums in general, at the bottom. You can enter comments, upload pics, etc, you can play with the commenting system in my album here, I'll still poking at how admining the genral albums works, I think its by usergroup. If so, where are those volunteers for WWA?

You get the fun and enjoyment of downloading and re-uploading all the pics we currently have in the Gathering albums

I think people can figure out how to re-uplaod their own pics into WWA.

Oh, and comment about any info, you think we ought not to display, too

Nice. One thing I will suggest is getting a BD version of the 'upload pic' button 'cause that white one just looks ugly.

DV8 · Post by **DV8** » Sat Apr 17, 2004 10:39 pm

Can you also make the table 90%, like the rest of Bulldrek?

Thorn · Post by **Thorn** » Sun Apr 18, 2004 1:06 am

Dude! This is awesome! And I live the user albums, too. I imagine we'll be getting rather a lot of mileage out of that once Boltie and Grinder arrive!

FlameBlade · Post by **FlameBlade** » Sun Apr 18, 2004 1:47 am

I propose increasing space for Caz and Thorn to 1Gb of space. That way, we all can go awwwww over every pictures that they post of Boltie and Grinder

Yeah...that was shameless, but we all know how often parents take pictures of babies. Particularly first babies.

And that number gets doubled since the "first baby" is actually twins.

Kai · Post by **Kai** » Sun Apr 18, 2004 5:27 am

Yeah, need to fix the table sizes. And the upload image. And 1GB is all the space Bulldrek has, so as much as I think pics of Boltie and Grinder would be cool, I like the actual board better

Hee hee. Fear not - we're hardly the photo-freaks that Cash is. While of course we're going to share pics, I don't know that we're going to take all /that/ many....

I'll spare y'all my ugly mug. No need to thank me.

MissTeja · Post by **MissTeja** » Mon Apr 19, 2004 2:26 am

Then who is that in the album? Your doppleganger?

Ancient History · Post by **Ancient History** » Mon Apr 19, 2004 2:30 am

Twin brother Rico. He wanted in.

MissTeja · Post by **MissTeja** » Mon Apr 19, 2004 2:54 am

I have some random photos I would like to put up from various gatherings/GenCon. Should I go ahead and post them or will there be a sub-category developed for gatherings other than 2001 and 2002?

Kai · Post by **Kai** » Mon Apr 19, 2004 3:28 am

I suppose we ought to add some more, at least one for GenCon 03, do we want one for like Pauls Barabaques, and then random mini-gatherings?

MissTeja · Post by **MissTeja** » Mon Apr 19, 2004 3:35 am

If we had those three categories, it would cover all of the pics I wanted to post.

Kick ass! The pictures of the BDers from the paintball game this weekend are definitely going up there!

Serious Paul · Post by **Serious Paul** » Mon Apr 19, 2004 11:20 pm

I am with Deev on this. I'd like the page lay out t match the rest of the joint if we can!

WillyGilligan · Post by **WillyGilligan** » Tue Apr 20, 2004 2:19 pm

So, how would wone reduce a digital picture to get it within the size limits? I'm not terribly bright about these things.

MooCow · Post by **MooCow** » Tue Apr 20, 2004 2:20 pm

Two things....

Is there a quick link to the album that I'm totally not seeing cause I'm an idiot?

Is there a way to see the comments and the full picture? If you click on comments, you just get the thumbnail, if you click on the thumbnail you just get the picture. Is that possible to do, or would it require too much coding and/or space?

Kai · Post by **Kai** » Tue Apr 20, 2004 2:34 pm

WG: A graphics editing program that can resize images, I think basic Windows Imaging can do that.

Moo: Upper right, last line of links above Account Switch, after 'View your posts' is a little link that says Album.

[edit] - doh, maybe not, forgot that since I wasn't sure what would blow up, I only added the template code into the bulldrek template. Will fix that too.

As for full pics with comments, I suppose its possible in theory, but not even the current stuff works that way. Problem is is your going to have this huge page to scroll in both directions if you display the full pic and the comments. Though it should open full pics in a popup (hint for Google toolbar users to disable it for Bulldrek) so you can view and see the comments in the main page.

And wow does that comment layout suck

I'll try to make it, well, less sucky and shift the tables into 90% like the rest of the board. And fix the arc links. And add those other catagories. Yeah.

sinsual · Post by **sinsual** » Tue Apr 20, 2004 4:47 pm

Is it possible to make the pic load like its a thread? with comments underneath? So you have a "thread title/pic title" like on the forums. Click the title and the pic shows with a reply button for comments that reads just like a regular forum thread...? Or am I asking too much?

(edit: fixed the problem on my own)

Kai · Post by **Kai** » Tue Apr 20, 2004 4:58 pm

I honestly don't know. I've never looked at the guts of this mod. I can tell you that if it could be done, it will be several weeks more like a couple months before I can do it. I have a couple other projects that need my attention right now. If someone wants to step up and muck with the phpBB code great, though I've noticed no one has really done anything with OpenBoard :7

Serious Paul · Post by **Serious Paul** » Wed Apr 21, 2004 8:55 pm

For what its worth thanks. Looking cooler every day!

MooCow · Post by **MooCow** » Wed Apr 21, 2004 9:05 pm

Yeah Kai, thanks.

Stupid questions: Do the pics stay in the same order they are uploaded in? Or do they move to the front when someone makes a comment? Is there a way to say when the last comment was? Or to have new tags pop up?

Kai · Post by **Kai** » Thu Apr 22, 2004 11:55 am

Ah...I think they stay in the order posted, and its says when comments were made already

Adam · Post by **Adam** » Thu Apr 22, 2004 1:11 pm

I move for a Misc Crap folder, so people don't post Misc Crap in the other folders.

Kai · Post by **Kai** » Thu Apr 22, 2004 2:29 pm

That's what personal albums are for, as soon as someone wants to volunteer to moderate the photo albums, they can start enforcing stuff vs crap.

I volunteer to be the photo album moderator.

Kai · Post by **Kai** » Mon May 03, 2004 9:01 pm

w00t! So, anyone have objections on abusing Toon's goodwill and letting him be responsible for the photo album?

Cash · Post by **Cash** » Mon May 03, 2004 9:22 pm

Nope.

Oh, thank god. AYE!

Serious Paul · Post by **Serious Paul** » Mon May 03, 2004 11:39 pm

Wow some one was dumb-*cough*-good willed enough to take responsibility for something at Bulldrek? Join the other suckers-erm-Admins out back-ahem-in the Embassy!

FlakJacket · Post by **FlakJacket** » Wed May 05, 2004 4:27 am

Photo album go boom. For some reason none of the photos are displaying- I just get empty boxes- and if you try clicking on them instead of the picture coming up in the seperate window, it just says 'Not Authorised'.

Kai · Post by **Kai** » Wed May 05, 2004 4:39 am

Yeah, futzing with getting Toon the permissions he needs, there will be temporary wonkiness

JohnnyRico · Post by **JohnnyRico** » Sun Aug 22, 2004 4:43 am

I'm resurrecting this thread because I just noticed something. I was visiting the Album to see if anything new was posted, or if there were any funny new comments, and I spotted this:

You last visited on Sat Aug 21, 2004 12:13 am
The time now is Sat Aug 21, 2004 11:32 pm

Now, that little message was tucked in the top left hand of the screen, tucked just underneith the six main links (the main page, Support Site, WWA, Gathering, Links, and Fiction).

You know what? That's damn nifty. And now, back to our regularly scheduled silence.

Kai · Post by **Kai** » Sun Aug 22, 2004 2:43 pm

Heh, yeah, thats actually part of the vanilla phpBB code, somewhere along the line it got yanked from the main site's code it seems
