@botoson: Tidypics is for photos only and not for videos. But there are video plugins available for Elgg, too. Just make a search in the plugin section. Possible candidates:

• https://community.elgg.org/plugins/384975/4.2.0b/izap-videos-420b-youtube-upload-onserver-upload-embed-urls-10-jan-2013,
• https://community.elgg.org/plugins/787632/1.8.3/embed-extender,
• https://community.elgg.org/plugins/740863/1.4/videos-plugin-for-elgg-18,
• https://community.elgg.org/plugins/814895/1.8.1/videolist.

@Jorge: as the version number already indicates... Tidypics 1.8.0rc1 is OLDER than 1.8.1beta2!!! Therefore, it doesn't make sense to DOWNGRADE as you will have MORE BUGS instead of less bugs. Additionally, Tidypics 1.8.0rc1 will most likely not work on recent versions of Elgg anymore at all.

Latest release of Tidypics is 1.8.1beta15 available at https://community.elgg.org/plugins/1194049/1.8.1beta15/elgg-1819-tidypics.

Thank you iionly. I thought that was a difference between  the name with "beta" and without "beta"... I will proceed then with 1.8.1beta15! Thank you!

Thanks for this plugin. It works great.

Hi,

Can we set any album photo as a avatar (Profile Picture) using this plugin?

Thanks in advance.

this plugin doesn´t work for me in elgg 1.8.1.9

show no graphics, it is all the time empty

also i use the easy theme for the site, may be it has to do with this???

please help,

thanks in advance

@petrabonn: use my newer version of Tidypics (https://community.elgg.org/plugins/1194049/1.8.1beta16/elgg-1819-tidypics) as this version here does not work on recent versions of Elgg anymore. Additionally, I've fixed quite a number of other bugs, too.

I am trying to use this plugin on my site at www.myGallerySpace.com and when I upload a photo, it doesnt show up... instead I have an image of a square with a question mark in it. can someone help me?

@Shawn: this version of Tidypics here is outdated. Try the newer version available at https://community.elgg.org/plugins/1194049/1.8.1beta16/elgg-1819-tidypics.

There is a issue with UPPERCASE extension file upload. ie (image.JPG)

is there any patch for that ?

@Ehsan Works for me on the latest release regardless if jpg or JPG. Which version of Tidypics are you using? If not the latest release, does an update fixt the issue?

Hi,

Elgg version: 1.12

Tidypics version : 1.10.8

Works fine with files smaller than 1.8M but with bigger pictures the last step page doesn't load and files aren't saved. Does someone know about this issue?

Edit: Looking to previous posts it seems that in fact its the .jpg .JPG issue.

Well after trying to rename them... Seems that it's not an extension probem but a size file.

@Fred My guess is that post_max_size is set too small on your Elgg installation to allow for processing of larger images. Increase post_max_size in Elgg's .htaccess file. Also check on the Tidypics settings page on the server info tab if the value set for post_max_size in .htaccess is correctly used. For larger images you might also get a problem with memory_limit if you use the GD php extension as image library for creation of thumbnails in Tidypics. To a certain extend the memory issue can be solved by increasing memory_limit in .htaccess. But of course the memory might still be too small for very, very large images (not necessarily by filesize but by image resolution in the first place). In case of memory issues using one of the other image library options instead of GD php extension is the only possible soiution (if they are available on the server).

Hi masters!
Today i fix bug with encoding,

@raio I'm not sure what I'm supposed to think about the fix you have suggested.

To begin with, I don't understand what the problem is you are trying to fix. Is it a very specific issue only for you or is it something that will also show up for others? I just want that people do not modify the code of Tidypics on their sites when not necessary - or worse even break stuff for them!

Secondly, what version of Tidypics is the fix supposed to be used with? Is it for version 1.8.0-rc1? This is a very, very outdated version of Tidypics for a version of Elgg no longer supported already since quite some time. Is the same problem also showing up on newer versions of Tidypics - and also important also on versions of Elgg still supported, namely Elgg 1.12 or Elgg 2.3?

Sorry for my bad english but you can check this image for more info. This plugin have problem with cirilic encoding.

@raio The album names and image names are shortened on the gallery pages of albums and images and in the dropdown menu of the album selection popup on image uploads. This shortening of the names might be the problem. Can you tell me if the gallery pages of images and albums and the dropdown menu are the only places the problem occurs? Are the album names and images names respectively displayed correctly otherwise when not shortened? I would need to know to figure out a solution (as I don't think the fix you suggested makes sense).

@raio There is a change necessary in the code that shortens the album names / image names. In the files mod/tidypics/views/default/photos/selectalbum.php, mod/tidypics/views/default/object/image/summary.php and mod/tidypics/views/default/object/album/gallery.php you will find a line where the subst() function is used to shorten the titles. Instead of subst() the function mb_subst() needs to be used for the shortening to work without issues for utf characters (like cyriclic).

For example

$album_title = substr($album_title, 0, 17).'...';

has to be changed to

$album_title = mb_substr($album_title, 0, 17, "utf-8") . "...";

The corresponding change has to be made in all 3 files (with only a difference in the variable name used). Then the output should look fine.
