Multiusers Gallery (eg. Photobucket)?

Light Peak

okay, so now the page goes blank again.
even when error reporting is on, i get blanks.

and for chrome, i get is: HTTP Error 403 (Forbidden): The server refused to fulfill the request.

also, on the reset form, is asks for user name/ID... which is?

acrylian

Sorry, we really can't help with that without any proper error or at least a link to test...

also, on the reset form, is asks for user name/ID... which is?
The user id (aka user name, not full name naturally...) of the user you want to reset maybe?

Light Peak

hmm, it shows:
User:
[Captcha Picture]
Enter CAPTCHA:

so for the User field, users should enter their full name or email, since during registration users were not prompted to enter a user name.

acrylian

so for the User field, users should enter their full name or email,
As I said above the user name/id NOT the full name........

Light Peak

and since during registration users were not prompted to enter a user name, what's the "user name" should be entered?

acrylian

If the user name should show on the register form is an option as well. It is called "Email-ID" so it is the e-mail-address... If both is not set it will naturally not work...

For the details my collegue is the expert as he codes the user management stuff.

I guess that your users are not very observant. Once they confirm their registration via the e-mail link they are presented with the logon screen with their user id already filled in. From that form they enter their pasword.

Seems they might want to make note of that user id.

But, ofcourse if you think they are particularly dense, you might want to change the text that is sent in the confirmation e-mail to point out that their user id is their e-mail address (naturally you should remind them that it is the e-mail address that the mail was sent to in case their attention span is really short.)

That text is an option which you will find just above the checkbox that makes the e-mail the user id.

Light Peak

Great, so i've unchecked "email id" option which prompts users to fill in "User ID" upon registration instead of after activation which is not user-friendly".

I've also found out another issue is that, although users albums were automatically created upon registration,
but if they delete the album that's been assigned to them (with their user ID),
they'll not be able to create a new album but only for me to delete their account and re-register.

Is there any way to prevent primary album (the one that's been created and assigned to them upon registration) from being deleted except sub-albums created by them?

Edit: The blank page appears again (Chrome shows it's 403: Forbidden).

acrylian

if they delete the album that's been assigned to them (with their user ID),
they'll not be able to create a new album but only for me to delete their account and re-register.

Not at the moment I think. But maybe you should instruct your users that they should not do that. They are of course not allowed to create new ones as they can't assign albums to themselves if not having administration or full album rights (which you don't want to give these people I am sure). How many users do you have or expect that this will be an issue? I mean as an admin you will have to do things for not so versed users no matter how it is setup...

Re: blank page. Which page excatly? Any error in the server log? Otherwise we are guessing.

Light Peak

I've tried to, even creating a new album and assign it to the test account, it's not visible due to security reason which i left one of the check box un-checked on the plugin u provided for me previously.

right now i'll need the site to be stable in order for advertising on my forums for users to utilize the zenphoto gallery, but would expect at least 10+ users but will grow eventually.

there's only a sentence of log for Nov 9th which isn't my ip address (it'd be private LAN address)
[Wed Nov 09 02:54:31 2011] [error] [client 180.76.5.56] File does not exist: /path/to/public_html/gallery/var
the ip turns out to be someone in Beijing, China.

as for access log, i notice one of the log item is:
180.76.5.179 - - [09/Nov/2011:10:20:25 +0800] "GET /?C=N;O=D HTTP/1.1" 200 8469 <---- does this looks like some guy tries to exploit bugs or sth?

as for the blank page, seems like the entire "gallery" site (or folder) are inaccessible (blanks).
i'm using chrome - logged in as administrator
Firefox - test user (normal priv)

when using firefox/chrome, either one, while trying to navigate (eg. clicking title of the gallery which brings me back to ZP front page) and it went blank on firefox, and while my chrome (logged in as admin) is left idle and i refreshed, it got blank as well.

my normal forums like https://on-sugar.com, https://forums.on-sugar.com are working fine when i encountered "white screen of death (WSOD)".

Edit + Update: right now, i've tried uploading using test account and while using flash to upload appx. 200 photos, i get I/O Error ("IMG_0730.JPG (849.23KB) - IO Error")

acrylian

Sorry, for that I have to refer to my collegue sbillard who is more versed and the coder of these user management stuff.

Regarding the upload. If oyu try to upload 200 photos at once you should use ftp or really make sure your server upload limits manage that.

sbillard

Great, so i've unchecked "email id" option which prompts users to fill in "User ID" upon registration instead of after activation which is not user-friendly".

???? a ueser id can NEVER be modified. So you can either have the users pick a user id or use the e-mail for the user id. The problem with the former is that they may try to use one that already exists. But of course, it is an option, so it is your choice.

If you let users edit their albums one of the things they can do is delete them. If they do this, it breaks the link so that there is no "primary" album associated with the user. There is no means to recreate this link, but since the only thing it is used for is to clean out albums for users you may delete it is no big deal. Create them a new album and give them rights to manage it. No need to delete their account.

Light Peak

so if it's more than 200 photos, i'll get I/O error?
is there a way to make if available for more than 200 photos using flash player?
because i'm making this public gallery in which anyone can have unlimited photos on a single album with single upload instead of facebook's limit which allows 200 photos max.

Update: i've tried uploading using flash with 25 files only but was also given "IO Error".

it's stated as:
"ZIP files must contain only Zenphoto supported image types. The maximum size for any one file is 10GB which is set by your PHP configuration upload_max_filesize.
Your available upload quota is 10,485,760 kb."

So it should be enough?

After unchecking "email id" just below "email notification text", an extra field of "User ID" will be shown for users that tries registers instead of after activation, it's stated as "user" and "password" which for me honestly, when i first created a test acccount, i thought it means to fill in my "user" created during registration which is email address and it makes me confused.
unless there's a notice just above the "user" and "password" such as, showing the email address and telling users to choose a user name and also don't autofill their email in the field.

but i've tried assigning them on my admin settings, it still didn't show on the test account (probably due to "use prepared albums" that's checked on "filter-personal_album" plugin so i had to delete the account... but 2 albums was created** (plugins clashed) see below

** i've unchecked "user album" under "register_user" plugin as it clashes with "filter-personal_album" plugin (it'll result in 2 albums created).
and checked "use prepared albums".
it was shown the following message beside "use prepared albums":
Only use this option if ALL albums in the gallery are meant to be personal albums. Otherwise, this option could compromise security!

so checking that will it compromise security?

Update: i've tried unchecking "use prepared albums" and also leaving "User album" unchecked but when registered using a test account, an album was created by the test user was not able to "see" the album.

Update: i've tried using http method for uploading on the primary albums with "Make a new Album" check and typing in a album name and tried uploading 1 photo but was given the following error:
"Upload Error
You have attempted to upload to an album for which you do not have upload rights "

acrylian

Regarding upload: Generally that should work but the server might nevertheless not able to handle that much POST data or that much files. I cannot answer. It might even be a limit of that tool and/or flash. I don't know. The tool we use is www.uploadify.com

Note that the "filter-personal_album" plugin is third party and a little older. It might therefore not work correctly.

Light Peak

and how'd i implement it for ZP?

also, what bout the error in uploading?

acrylian

and how'd i implement it for ZP?
What? Uploadify? As said that is the tool we use................

Regarding the error, try uploading less images at once or use ftp.

Light Peak

Update: i've tried using http method for uploading on the primary albums with "Make a new Album" check and typing in a album name and tried uploading 1 photo but was given the following error:
"Upload Error
You have attempted to upload to an album for which you do not have upload rights "

acrylian

You as the fulla administrator have to create the album first and then you can assign it to the user in questions. Of course they can't assign it to themselves.

Light Peak

it was automatically assigned/created.
As above, I've mentioned that I've to delete the user and recreate an test account.

So i've recreated a new test account (a folder will be automatically created) and tried uploading but doesn't work.

acrylian

Could you please post the exact user settings that test account has?

Light Peak

You can login and try uploading:
User ID: test1
Password: ^$vZG9H54T

Well, well, seems you do not read the forum rules. Bumping is strictly forbidden and really no use anyway. Since you have not responded to the request by acrylian no one has then responded back to the information you would have provided.
