[Elgg 1.5-1.12 & 2.X - 4.X: Tidypics] v2.3.3

Release Notes

  • Requires Elgg 2.3.0 at minimum,
  • Fixed deprecation issue with $autofeed by using elgg_register_rss_link(),
  • Fixed issue in shortening of image / album names in gallery views and album selection on image upload showing up for UTF-8 characters (e.g. cyrilic),
  • Increased max. length of image /albums names in gallery views from 17 to 29,
  • Fixed error on most commented images page caused by an duplicate $ in a variable name,
  • Delayed display of album selection popup (click will only work after page has fully loaded to avoid "Page not found" error due to lightbox JS code not yet loaded),
  • No longer load lightbox JS and CSS because it's loaded by Elgg core everywhere anyway now.
  • Got a problem here :(

    try to comment for that image.. i get 500 server error... its weird...

  • Master Zeus Can't say what is wrong at the moment.

    Is there something error logged in the server log at the time the 500 server error occurs? An error logged might give some indication of what might be wrong.

    Is the problem occuring only with this single image? Can you post the exactly same comment to another image (or even some other site content like a blog) for testing? If this also fails the content of the comment might contain something invalid. Or the other way round: can you post a comment with another content to this image?

    If the problem is only with this single image it's either the content of the comment or the image entries in the database is (at least partly) broken. Then I see no other way as deleting this entry and uploading it again. If the problem with the error 500 would occur also on other images the problem might also be caused by another 3rd party plugin interferring the posting of comments here. In any case, the server log might give some additional info about the problem if you find a log entry at the time the 500 error occurs.

  • My elgg is version 2.3.1 and after installed, the "upload photos" button does not work. When I click nothing happens. I can create album but send photos appears message "ajax: error". I installed tidypivs version 1.12 and when I click the upload button it appears "You can not access ajax views dirictely (bad request)

  • Elgg 2.3.1  ---> Tidypics 2.3.3. Always use the version of a plugin recommended for the Elgg version you use.

    Ajax error could be for two reasons:

    • either due to a conflict with another 3rd party plugin (that might not be fully working on Elgg 2.x),
    • or you might need to set upload_max_filesize, memory_limit and post_max_size in Elgg's .htaccess file to larger values (to allow for Tidypics processing the uploaded images). For a start you can also test with the basic uploader instead of the html5 uploader of Tidypics (disable the html5 uploader on Tidypics settings page). The basic uploader might give some better error message (as the html5 uploader might block the output of some error messages). Also, start with a single, small image for testing. Then the limits in .htaccess are less likely to cause an error. If this single image upload works, you can try with more (larger) images and adjust the limits if necessary. If memory_limit is the problem, you can also switch to another image library to be used by Tidypics (but the alternative must be installed on the server then).
  • In the option "Show the album cover or a set of photos for new album" how to choose another number instead of 7 ? Many thanks for this wonderful plugin.

  • Activity stream or River gets crowded too much with photo comments, tagging events etc. Is there a possibilty to "group" some AND /OR  not show things like Tagging as an option ?

  • Hi .

    I have some troubles with Tidypics I am using the lastest release.

    The "upload photos" button does not work. When I click nothing happens (only when using HTML5/HTML4 uploader). So I try to check the problem. 

    The problem is due to my theme is mainly due to bootstrap library.

    Could someone help me ?

     

  • Thanks for this great photo plugin. It works fantastically on desktop and laptops. In mobile or smartphone there are a few things, which if implemented, will make a great UI / User experience.

    1) Add "swipe" to see "next" and "before" photos instead of clicking arrows. Clicking on small arrows is difficult in smartphones. Majority users are using these phones to consume. Any plugin that adds "swipe" to see photos in Tidypics will also be of great help.

    2) In the river, max 7 thumbnails are shown, How can the figure be changed ? Problem is that in responsive view or smartphone view the thumbnails are misaligned, for example : when there are seven thumbnails, the second row of thumbnails get a left shift and non-alignment with the first row

  • @kanha

    Number of photos displayed in the river when creating a new album is currently hardcoded. Only way to change the number is to change the code in the river view (in mod/tidypics/views/default/river/object/album/create.php the line with $images = $album->getImages(7);).

    If you don't want some river entries created (i.e. prevent creation in future), you can comment out the lines with the function elgg_create_river_item() in the action files, e.g. for tagging in mod/tidypics/actions/photos/image/tag.php. Just look through the actions. Grouping is not possible.

    @Hermand Pessek

    If the html5 uploader works, why not use it? It's better than the basic uploader anyway. If you want to use the basic uploader and it's a problem with your theme plugin, then it needs to be fixed in your theme. Ask the theme developer.

    @daniyaree

    Swipe seems like a good suggestion. I can see if I can get it working... but no promise that I get it working and I also can't say when I might be able to make the next release (even if I currently work on that already).

    Changing the number of images from 7 to another number (for river entries on new album creation) see my answer in the first paragraph of this posting. Regarding the alignment I need to test what might be wrong. If the alignment is wrong it is most likely a bug.

  • elgg_tidypics

    Thanks a lot @iionly. Please see that there is a left shift of the thumbnails compared to the topmost row, when seen in mobile or in responsive view. This sort of hampers the aesthetic beauty, which is otherwise present in fullscreen desktop view.

    Swipe is a greatly useful and user friendly thing, as it is rather difficult to click precisely on the small arrows on mobile screen to see next-before pictures. In fact, I guess many users will be actually benefited if mobile-friendliness is urgently incorporated across all Elgg themes and UI. Personally I prefer desktop usage though. Many thanks again, and waiting for these improvements. 

  • Yep. I found and fixed the issue with the image alignment in river entries already and it will be included in the next release. I can't promise to add touch events in the next release already. It mainly depends on me getting it to work (and tested). If this takes too long I might postphone it for a later release.

  • Wow! That's a great good news. Infinite thanks iionly
    Regarding the swipe, I know that this cannot be promised. Thanks that you have decided to give you a thought. As I was telling before, across the entire Elgg core and plugins/modules if some mobile-friendly UI structure is implemented it will be great. Swipe for any content - for example, you swipe left / right for previous/next blog.
