Although xcGallery currently does not have the functionality you seek, if you describe how the the link would operate it may be added to the next version of xcGallery, currently in development.

Share your thoughts on what would happen after the user clicks the "Purchase Print of Pic" link.

Speaking of XCGal options, I have had the need to add a "Purchase Print of Pic" link, like shutterfly. it seems like an easy addition of code, but I am not of the mastery of the rest of this community.

Or is it that XOOPS Gallery is just better and I should switch over?

"Better" is subjective; quantify your needs. If all you want is a "Purchase Print of Pic" link and XOOPS Gallery has it but xcGallery doesn't, then go with XOOPS Gallery.

Of course it won't happen again... last April will never happen again so there won't be another chance to miss it.

If I were to guess, and that's exactly what I'm going to do, the problem lies with your host, as opposed to xcGallery itself.

My site is hosted by LunarPages and they recently changed how PHP was run to make it more safe. However, as an artifact of that, I can't have any directory at 777. Like happens with you, my directories revert to 755. Frustrating.

I assume there is some sort of work-around but I haven't yet looked into it. I will be looking into it in the future, just not sure how far into the future it'll be. If you happen to find a work-around, please post it here or on the xcGallery site.

The Feature Request Tracker is there for these kinds of situations

(Could also be a patch, since you have the solution )

Silly Mith... 'twas not I that either initially requested it be added nor I that came up with the solution. All I did was stick my head in and give my 2 cents worth.

I dont really want help with the bugs, I just want to know what gallery module people consider being the best one.. =)

Contrary to what you said before, xcGallery does not have many, if any, bugs. What have you found wrong with it. Many people are using it without a problem.

Probably it is best to create several options regarding the webmaster's preferences on 'number of spaces allowed' so that he/she can choose between the different validation rules.

I disagree. There shouldn't be a limit to the number of spaces allowed as long as the rule re: name w/o spaces can't be the same as any other name w/o spaces is implemented. If someone thinks that they look better as "D o n X o o p" rather than "DonXoop" or "Don Xoop", let them have it their way (even though they're wrong

). Doing so doesn't limit people who have multiple spaces in their name.

More than one space should be allowed if any are in the first place.

I agree, based on my response above.

Hmm, we've found some important points to consider. Suddenly it isn't quite so easy since it might involve other hacks. The logic appears sound but there are gotchas if it isn't thought out.

That's exactly what we're doing here... thinking it out.

I'm rather impressed that we're able to do so in a pretty close to mature way. That seems to be missing too much these days.

One way to see how spaces would impact the entire XOOPS system is to do a search within XOOPS for any occurence of uname and then evaluate the impact in each spot. If it's around 20 occurences or fewer, I may do this myself. If not, it'll have to wait until I finish my port of CPG for the upgrade to xcGallery.

Now I am somewhat curious about the big public servers like Hotmail etc. Do they allow spaces in the login name? It won't make a diff to me but I wonder....

Yahoo doesn't allow spaces. However, their use of your user name is different. They create "username@yahoo.com" for your e-mail address and obviously your e-mail address can't have spaces. I assume that other web mail services are the same.

I misspoke before... We're not dealing with a user "ID" as such but rather the actual user name.

Another rule that should govern allowing spaces in the user name: The user name, with spaces removed, can not be a duplicate of any other user name, with spaces removed. For example, if I register as "Brad Jones", someone can't subsequently register as "BradJones" or "Brad Jones " or any other variation where, when spaces are removed, is a duplicate of "Brad Jones" (i.e. "BradJones" with spaces removed). Hopefully I didn't just complicate that whole rule by trying to make it more clear. Anyone agree or disagree with this rule?

Along the same lines as that "rule", searches should disregard spaces when finding names. If one searches for "BradJones" and I've registered as "Brad Jones", my name should still come up.

Only one space?

I disagree. It wouldn't allow me to do "Bradley P. Jones" or "Oscar de la Hoya" or "Billie Bob Thornton" or "Billie Jean King" or "Emma Jo Jones".

I'll say this_these: The login name isn't exactly the same as all the other content that is display only. Almost but not quite. In fact it is the most critical piece of data until one gets past the login. I'm sure that (or can I say 'safe to say') that this hack takes care of that. I haven't even looked at the hack but that must be primarily what it deals with.

The funny thing is, I haven't looked at the hack either, I just agree with it in spirit.

I have a vanity plate. It reads "SENOJ". Someone already stole "JONES". Maybe I should have tried "J ONES".
