I'd say #1 "A permenant mark on [some|all] uploaded pictures to the gallery? Full size / resize / thumbs?"

Just like the examples on this site.

Thanks,

Luxus is German, and the site he referenced was in German (http://service.bama-webdesign.de/modules/mydownloads/), and there were others he's pointed me to before that. He was also one of the more vocal testers on this XoopsGallery update, and a great guy.

Like you said... back to the topic at hand. I took a look at the mod and found a couple of things: It looks like something I can put into XoopsGallery. It's not a permenant mark--it adds it as the pic is being pulled from the server, so it is trivial to work around. It's also using gd2 which I know little about (and why use that instead of NetPBM or ImageMagick that is already required by XoopsGallery--not that I know much about them either).

It is an interesting idea, but I'm not sure that the patch in it's current form would do what you really need. It might be better off hooked through the preprocess routine when an image is added to the gallery--then it would be permenant (and won't require being run every time the image is called, so it's better for busier sites). I'm going to stop short of saying anything definate, but I'll take a look.

You keep sending me to German sites... so I added a bookmark to bablefish on my hotlist so I don't have to keep typing it in

Lemme see if I understand what the request is here, because there's a few options out there with the different patches available. Did you want:

1) A permenant mark on [some|all] uploaded pictures to the gallery? Full size / resize / thumbs?

2) A mark that only appears when linked from another site? (That's a .htaccess hook, which doesn't have anything to do with Gallery per-se).

3) Some sort of invisible mark (I had a hard time understanding the bablefish translater--tech talk is hard to translate like that I guess).

I could see adding on #2 onto the XoopsGallery if I can get the patch working, and add it as an option on a per-album basis perhaps.

I believe it is (I certainly hope so!!). You can easily check to see if that change fixes it by saving off a copy of the page locally, making the change, then submitting that to the w3c. Opera makes this trivial, just press CTRL-ALT-V and it will submit the current page to the w3c via the upload mechanism so you don't even need to post it publicly to validate it.

Oh, btw: You're correct that all &'s in XHTML are escapes and need a sequence after it... & translates to a proper ampersand.

Any ideas?


You'll have that problem if you didn't update your module. The templates have changed significantly since the previous release, so the older templates are not compatible. The newer templates are much more granular, so webmasters can do more to customize them.

If that doesn't fix it, then go to the XoopsGallery site--there's a forum for bugs and the Bug Tracker module where you can report it if it persists.

You're very welcome. XOOPS is a fantastic system, it was the least I could do to offer something in return. And thank you for stepping up to test it and help make it all that it is now!

Hint: Read the full text of the announcement (the announcement on thehttp://www.sciox.org/xoops/ site is the same as what should be posted here).

I think I'll take you up on that cold one :) mmmmmmmm.

The reason that happened is the statistics module has a commonly used variable that collides with one used by XoopsGallery.

You might try patching the included file by wrapping it with something like this:
function AccumulateStatistics() {
    [
original include file here]
}
AccumulateStatistics();

That would change the scope of the variables used in the include file to not collide with page-level variables XoopsGallery or any other module uses.

Let me know if it works. I checked out the module breifly because coreace was trying to use the same thing. Another thing I noticed with that module is that it looks like it won't record any statistics on pages that aren't resulting from a POST query.

[edit] I had this backwards, posting to the database is correct in that include file.

If you could, please confirm both that the suggested patch helps and the statistics do only seem to update on post queries and I'll send the suggestions on to the module author.

P.S. The update Luxus mentioed that I am developing is complete--you can get it athttp://www.sciox.org/xoops/, the announcement should be posted here shortly.

I'll have to take a closer look later, but it's an interesting mod. Anyone else interested in getting this to work? Anyone else currently have it working who might want to post a patch?
