Форуми / Cotonti / Extensions / [Beta Release] MediaLibrary2 Gallery

Medialibrary is foremost a gallery. It supports images and videos of types supported by Cotonti. it's an update and conversion of a seditio plugin that was private. I was planning to keep this private too and sell for a small ammount. however thinking hard, Tho the im not rich and put alot of time into it. I support open source and thought. With all the galleries coming out. Might as well release it. With a free for free licence it could be imrpoved. So ive included a flv player i found and a lightbox, and swfupload demonstration. Ffmpeg could also be added depdning on your server. It's only a beta. For testing as i can only test on my system.

There is no real current readme for this beta as it is, a beta. It's simple to install. Follow the instructions for a default setup through cotontis plugin installation page.

Things are subject to change, sql, skin paths as the skin paths were created for an early sed adn did not have the liberty of a tpl folder at the time.

TODO:
Things on my mind to add as i was uploading.

Percentage bars in my media for space

Note:
The downgade of the comments sytem to the engine system from medlib system (forum like) was because i wanted it to be more intergrated. Using the comments style over the website and or any hooks and edits tot he comment ssytem. I think in the future when Cotonti updates the comments. To more forum like, it would of been a waste making them forum like in medlib.

ANy other questions ill answer here. Rather than a readme

Very interesting, I'll have a look at it asap. I'm considering integration with the updated PFS system I'm writing.

@Elgan: remember that you already did a bbcode for me (posting live galleries in pages), so you dont need to do this twice.

Very nice! Thank you for the contribution Elgan! I am going to try it now!

# fedai : SQL Error:

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `ml_subscriptions` (
  `user_id` int(11) NOT NULL,
  `file_id` int(11) NOT NULL
) ENGINE=InnoDB;

and

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `ml_favourites` (
  `user_id` int(11) NOT NULL,
  `file_id` int(11) NOT NULL
) ENGINE=InnoDB;

the error

what was the error?

# Koradhil : Why doesn't the medialibrary use the regular pfs system, or even the datas/users folder?
Also I noticed your english isn't that good, despite the fact that you live in the UK.

because i wanted it to be separate. As a plugin. SO it can be uninstalled etc. I wanted it seprate for more control plus. I wanted the option for users to be able to go "nah and delete"

being english, Like many. My english is actually better than msot. if u lyk i can tlk lyk most pplz do rnd here. I do have a study in advanced english however. I rebel. I jsut dont spend time watching what i type. mostly it's quick to test. So sorry about the lang file. I will go through it at some point, It got a bit disorganised too.

GOt any quick examples of typos etc, would be lovely.

If I upload a jpg, according to the plugin the file is uploaded, but I can't find it back anywhere; not im my media, nor in the validation queue..

# Lombi : Is your folder there and is it 777? It should create it by itself but it might not.

indeed. Check the bin. A broken file is automatically placed in the bin. it sounds likely it was not found by the gallerya nd placed directly into the bin.

Check what lombi said. Hes probably right.
