gallery/album with URL bbcode for forum

wesley · 19 Oct 2007 at 11:10

Hi guys

i'm looking for a gallery or album script (php) with URL bbcode for forum.

I really like celerondude's gallery but doesnt have URL bbcode.

http://www.shareapic.net/171358-Best-Tatoos-Ever.html if you scroll down to bottom you see a box of bbcode for forum, that's what i want but i need it on my web hosting.

after searching for gallery/album script (php) for hours, couldnt find one

anyone know a good one? prefer to upload images via FTP, much faster!

thanks

didn't we do this before? i gave a little script that scanned a directory for files and generated the bbcode for you? can't you just add that in to this script you have?

wesley · 19 Oct 2007 at 12:00

yeah marc2003, the script u made work very well.

the problem is the more pictures i upload to a folder, it will generate bbcodes for old images as well. thought it would be easier to have gallery/album and it will have a box of url bbcode for each gallery. so i easily copy/paste the bbcode to forum.

just modify this celeron dude gallery script you have with that little code snippet?

You can get BBcode for things in the celeron dude uploader, just tick the boxes on the ones you want it for. :confused:

Apparently not

My bad then.

just had a look at that script. bit too advanced for me. it has php classes. i have no idea how they work.

i can knock up a simple script that will scan a folder for files, create thumbnails and generate bbcode if that's any use?

wesley · 19 Oct 2007 at 23:11

yeah that would be great

thanks again

quick question, you know this box which is full of bbcode, what is it called?

Classes are just collections of related variables and functions.

First you create a class

Code:

$variablename = new classname();

Then you access that class' functions with

Code:

$variablename->functionName();

Classes are worth learning as it allows for very efficient, easily reusable code.

For instance, I have just wrote myself a couple of classes for accessing and querying a MySQL DB and validating input. I only need write [and perfect] them once, and should be able to use them in any other PHP project.

a textarea.

@SiriusB, maybe one day i'll try and get my head around it. i only dabble with php and find functions easy enough to use for my purposes.... but classes.... :eek:

i've just started faffing about modifying an older script of mine to do this. it has a max thumbnail size of 200x200 (not necessarily square- it keeps the correct aspect.). i'll post here when done.

marc2003 · 20 Oct 2007 at 10:40

ok here it is. source code

save as index.php - change $here to suit you and create the files and thumbs subfolders via your ftp client. set the permissions on each folder to 777.

upload your images to the files folder only. the script will generate the thumbs when you click 'create thumbnails'.

limitations - no pagination so could be a big page if you have loads of images. also when uploading new files, don't do too many at a time otherwise you'll bring the server to halt when generating thumbnails - be patient while it works.

Does SimpleGal by Robmiller do this?

nope. the OP wants it to generate bbcode like imageshack does. so when you paste the code into a forum, you get a clickable thumbnail which takes you to the full size image.

i dare say you could mod it (or any other gallery script) if you know what you're doing.

thanks for the script but no matter what i do, upload files to a folder, always get this message

you need to create the files and thumbs subfolders!

sorry i wasn't clear. in the same folder as the script, you need to have 2 folders...

files
thumbs

then put your images in the files folder.

edit: here's a demo of what it looks like clicky (the delete buttons don't work in this example)

wesley · 20 Oct 2007 at 12:18

ok thanks, so index.php will be in root folder?

wesley · 20 Oct 2007 at 12:24

ok got it working (ish)

uploaded 10 pictures to files folder. then open root folder with firefox. says 1 new file(s) found with the error message

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/.pascha/xxxxxxxx/xxxxxxxx.com/marc2000/index.php on line 74
