Other Improvements still to do

- improve uploading
- see more items at our tracker: http://code.google.com/p/tidypics/issues/list (requires a gmail account to add something)
To upgrade:
- disable current plugin
- delete tidypics directory
- upload the code
- enable plugin
This version has a hard coded limit on filesize inherited from previous versions. As pointed out in the comments, you can edit line 62 of tidypics/actions/upload.php to change this limit. The largest filesize will be determined by your server setup so you cannot just change it to a huge value and expect it to work. The current limit in this code is ~ 2.5 MB.
The next version will have a rewritten uploader that should be more robust and offer more feedback to the administrator on configuration options. We will also be adding in some hooks to allow for quotas.

Thank you!
Nice Work, 10 outta 10
Excelente, works very nice by now :D
Thank you - just what I needed!
well done
Tested OK on my Test account I will now take it live Thanky you for your quick work on this
Thank you for prompt update.
thank you :)
any plans for dynamic tagging?
Thank you, it works well now!
I want propse a little enhancement:
when I see a photo of an album, there is no link to get back to the album to see the overview of all other photos. I can only go to the page with all my albums. It would be great to have such link.
Regards!
It would be appreciated if there is dynamic tagging.
@Gleb L - we'll add breadcrumbs in the next release
what are breadcrumbs?
Maybe it's just me, but when I get a notification message that a new photo is created, it's unable to unmark it as a new message (it stays red)
@vazco - please confirm that you have updated to 1.5.1. What you described happened with the previous version.
The image displayed is 153 by 153 (I don't know why that odd size was chosen).
The thumbnail is 60 x 60. There is a fair amount of blank space on either side so I think 3 across is possible. This would be a good project for a developer just starting out with Elgg. Let me know if anyone is interested and wants to join the team.
Quick question: How can I add a box to the front page of the site for "Latest Albums"?
Thanks,
sr123
I still get a white page and a "null" thumbnail when trying to upload images over 600x450 pixels. Anyone know why this could happen or how to fix it?
Thanks in advance.
In general, the size of image supported by Tidypics depends on your server setup. In a future version, we will provide guidance on configuration - maybe with an estimate of how large an image your current server will support.
A white page (frequently called WSOD for white screen of death) is caused by something like a syntax error, out of memory error, call to extension that wasn't loaded, etc. In this case, it is probably an out of memory error. If your server is configured properly, you should see an error in your error log that will explain why you got a WSOD.
If you are running on a cheap shared hosting server, you will probably have many limitations.
My server runs a linux gentoo distro and i can modify wherever i want (its a "private server"), just gotta know how to do it XDDD
So i'll try to search how to increase memory for php scripts or for something like that. Thanks for your quick answer!
PD: if you know if there is a file that contains this settings it will be gratefull.
Without knowing the error message, I don't know the exact cause so I can only guess.
php.ini is the file you'll want to edit (http://us.php.net/manual/en/ini.list.php)
memory_limit is a good place to start
Great! I finnally found php.ini and modified that line. Now works correct!
Really thanks for yours answers!
Is there any group/discussion created for discussing this plugin?
@zzpaul - Tidypics Group
I dont get any event in the river (Elgg 1.5) when creating a new album, is this normal ?
@Fabrice - the river event is triggered when the first set of images is uploaded to the new album.
