I'd like to say Thanks to the dev team for all their hard work on this program, and I look forward to using it far into the future.

I dunno if i got lucky or just simply perfect timing of sorts but at any rate congrats all those who put their toil and efforts into the code and fine tuned yet another incredible version to release.

Where do I find out if 1.4.2 has the option of allowing users to delete their own images? Or if the option can be set by admin to allow this? I'm looking in the manual but I'm not seeing it if it's there.

Thanks. And I really look forward to upcoming versions also.

Post by: Nibbler on November 24, 2005, 11:23:32 pm
It's there.

Allow users to retain control over their pics in public galleries

When enabled, both the admin and the uploading user can edit and delete files that were uploaded to a public gallery. Of course the user must have permissions to upload to the public gallery in the first place (see the groups control panel) before this option will have any effect.

Post by: Joachim Müller on November 25, 2005, 04:37:45 pm
stop asking questions like that, this is an announcement thread. You have already expressed your desire for such a mod to go into the core code, while the devs have expressed in various threads already that they won't add such a feature into the core. This discussion is futile, especially on this thread that deals with a package release. We have a whole sub-board dedicated to feature requests.

Post by: zoinks on November 25, 2005, 07:37:55 pm
This may seem like a stupid question, but since 1.4.2 is now stable, why isn't there info on the homepage about it replacing 1.3.5? While I'm excited about the news, I came upon this announcement quite by accident...

Also, didn't see in the features list or screenshots that admin can reorder images within an album (aside from by title and dates that is). Is that part of 1.4.2?

Thanks for all your hard work!  :)
Title: Re: CPG1.4.2 released as stable
Post by: Joachim Müller on November 25, 2005, 07:44:57 pm
simply because I didn't have the time to update the homepage yet - cpg1.4.2 has been released only yesterday, and there's a lot of stuff that needs to be done to reflect the new version. Please bear with me, my day only has 24 hours. ;)

Thanks GauGau. I'm sure there's tons of stuff to do in releasing a new version, and I bet you needed some well-deserved rest after completing it!  ;)  Just wanted to make sure "stable" does indeed mean it's ready for public consumption.

Also, is this the right place to bring up my question about ability to reorder images within an album (aside from by title and dates that is) in 1.4.2?  I didn't see that in the new features list or screenshots...

Hehe, I don't take a rest right now, I just have to earn money sometimes as well (darn, I have a regular paying job ;))...

Just wanted to make sure "stable" does indeed mean it's ready for public consumption.
Yes, that's what it means.

Also, is this the right place to bring up my question about ability to reorder images within an album (aside from by title and dates that is) in 1.4.2? 
No, this is the wrong place. In fact, the very first posting on this thread should give you an idea what to post here.

@all: please keep this thread clean! Don't clutter it with individual questions. In fact, don't post questions here at all, unless they're directly related to the release itself (the act of releasing the package). If you have questions on features or you need support, start your own thread (of course after having read the docs and searched the board first). However, you're welcome to post here if you actually like the new package or say some warm words ;).

Not to many Issues for a stable release ???
Some of them are very serious...
My question is, when do you plan to fix these all?
Thanks

7. Known Issues
The following slight quirks and tiny issues are known and will hopefully be fixed in future releases.

Keyword list returns incorrect result for asian characters
Browser bug: IE displays 100%-width values incorrectly

@Makc666: are you just nagging or is there going to be going to be an actual contribution from you? So far, I haven't seen any real contribution from you. If you're such a genius coder, then post on the bugs board, replying to the individual thread you're refering to, making a suggestion for fixing the known issues. If you have  no idea, just shut up.

* Resizing gif/png with transparent background doesn't preserve alpha info
Ask the developer of GD to fix this

* Wrong charset in emails sent from coppermine
Fix email client old clients don't support UTF (like Outlook)
 
* Possible stability issues with PHP5 and plugins
Which are ???

* Rotate causing distorted image for large files
Ask the developer of image manipulation library to fix this

* EXIF and IPTC information are lost when rotating
Ask the developer of image manipulation library to fix this

* Banned group doesn't work as expected
What do you expect ?

* Album created using XP publisher despite upload failure
Bug report ? I don't use XP since SP itself is buggy

Anyway as the others say you've broken some forum rules so please be kind and do the following or we are forced to take action:

- Post bug reports in the appropiate forum
- Don't use coppermine if you don't like it

User contributions to fix Known issues are welcome, just submit the fixes to the appropriate board.

Hmm, i will waiting for the next update, i have 1.3 and it's stable and have more than 1000 users. I read many problems??

Maik,

A few problems, as with any new script or program. Not anything glaring, most, if not all can be addressed with relative ease or within an acceptable time frame.  As the release post suggest, there are a few known issues, a couple of which have already been resolved.  Personally, I think many of the new features and advantages outweigh these issues. 

Anytime you have hundreds of people switching over from an incomprehensible array of custom installations, both stand-alone and bridged, you have to expect a few dips and bumps in the road. Especially when the new release incorporates so many new features and benefits. The more bells and whistles, the more problems, one can and should expect. Yet, over all, people with "shared" issues seem very small in number, which is a very, very good sign as this indicates that most are isolated cases and not a general rule of thumb. 

The fact that we have so many users with so many different configurations successfully upgrading their set-ups is a testimony to the ingenuity and integrity of this new release.

If you feel better waiting and watching until the so called "issues" peter down, that is, of course, your perogative and, I'm sure, there are many who will do the same.

Me? I love to get my feet wet, hands dirty, put a little grease on my elbow, even skin a knee or two, if need be.  The best part is that I can sneak my silly questions in the melee of questions and not feel the least bit embarrassed about asking the same question for the 100th time.  After all, it is a new release. So the question probably hasn't been asked, yet.  ;)

This is great news!

We put a lot of work into the beta release, learning what we needed to do to integrate this into a community website.  Most of the work is template related, soem is bridge related, and we loaded quite a few photos.  Are instructions available to upgrade from the beta, or do we need to scratch and reinstall?

I am hoping this will be a file replacement only, but we knew it was beta when we started the work.

Post by: Joachim Müller on December 01, 2005, 08:46:35 am
yes, this has been asked and answered: no, you can't use cpg1.4.x with IPB1.x.

Please don't clutter this thread with individual support requests, as suggested above. Please don't force us to lock every announcement thread because users don't respect the "no individual support on announcement threads" policy. Instead: search the board first. Start a new thread if you can't find the answer to your question. Reply to the announcement thread only for very generic questions on the release itself. If devs don't answer a question, there's often a reason for it - bumping is not wanted on announcement threads.

megri: As people have said above, this thread is only for vague comments about the release, not specific support or bug reports or mods.

I assume you are talking about the SEF_URLs plugin, so your post should go in the Plugin board for 1.4 StandAlone.  (I'm not saying it's valid, just speaking from an organizational point-of-view and hoping you don't get this thread locked.)

I assume you posted on this thread without reading the whole thing (since the last post above yours says very clearly not to do what you did).  Since this is your first post, I hope you learn to read a thread completely before posting in the future.

I have just updated to CPG 1.4.2, because I was having some problems uploading pictures (found a thread to solve that) and thought that I might as well upgrade to the newest version.

Now I have a serious problem since the SEARCH FUNCTION doesn't work. If I choose SEARCH I get the page saying that the server can't be found. Even more serious is that all my links from my Photosite is linked to Coppermine by the serach function and now it just times out and no pictures appear.

I will be very happy for some very quick help, since this problem totally messed up my photosite.

Coppermine is used on www.stockit.dk, where you can enter the database or go directly to search (when it worked)

And all the links that are messed up are on www.boesenfoto.dk under SENESTE OPGAVER

PLEASE HELP ME ?!?!?!?!?

Why would you post here?  Did you not read the other posts in this thread or even the first post?

Why would people assist you if you're not willing to read carefully something as simple as a forum thread?

I'm not trying to be confrontational here.  I'm really curious if it's something more than a mistake, which we all make from time to time.

Dev Team,

Great job !  - and thank You ! - Something really has happened to Coppermine with this release. I'm quite new with Coppermine, so I have stayed away from the CPG 1.4.x Beta - have had lots to do with CPG 1.3.x - but it's dropped for good now.

 - sorry for my mistake, but I was looking in the support forum and couldn't figure out which was the correct place to add this thread, so I took a  chance and added it here. The reason why I didn't read the whole thread is that the site was insanely slow, that I didn't have the patience to keep searching.

But again sorry for the mistake. Instead of just "bashing" me, you could have been so kind to show me the right place to be.

Thx in advance!

^my bad. I didn't think my post there was in any way a "support" post as I was asking about the new stable release and not how I upgraded and needed help because "X" didn't work or something. I just wanted to know a little more about it then what I was able to find in the documentation so I figured I post here. I will go make a thread for it in the support section then. Sorry.

what a gift this is!!!!!! thank you for all the hard work you put into it. i am running my kids new site with it- great. for my own, i am still a bit scared to do the upgrade.. but 1.4.2 is worth taking the risk.
for the first time i used "fruity" as a them, and i am sooo pleasantly surprised how extremely well-written it is, as i adjusted it slightly (with all due credit to gaugau), and it all worked perfectly the first time around.
thanks a heap!!!

Hi,

Just wanted to give THOUSAND THANKS to all people who are involved in this project. After browsing through dozens of album software i finally found Coppermine which fits exactly the needs I had to implement a public album where many amateur astronomers can post their images and share photographic skills. Here's the site I realized with Coppermine:

RTFM. Upgrade to the most recent stable cpg1.4.3. Don't post your individual questions on an announcement thread. It's users like you that force us to lock every announcement and sticky thread. Locking now.
