Features for CPG1.3.0

[Joachim Müller]

Here's a list of features that will probably be in the next version of coppermine (version 1.3.0?). Some of these features have already been built and commited to the dev version, some are just in planning phase.

Please note: this thread does not deal with feature requests! Do not reply to this thread by asking "could you also include this and that feature" - please post such things on the "feature requests" board! I will not move irrelevant replies to this thread, but just delete them!

Also please do not ask "when will it be ready?" - we've just released the 1.2.0final, so don't expect the next release to be that soon! If you can't wait you're welcome to check out the current dev version over web cvs, but use it on your own risk and please understand that we won't support the use of dev versions at all!

Feature list

• built-in EXIF and IPTC support (even if the webserver doesn't have EXIF support enabled)
• thumbnails for categories
• edit single picture
• admin notification on user registration by email (admin option)
• option to disable comment flood protection (multiple comments by the same user)
• focus on search box and login box
• admin notification for upload approval (admin option)
• Breadcrumb for meta-albums
• forgot my password link in login form
• picture ownername display as an admin setable option
• image rotation
• image crop (for thumbnail and/or full-size pic)
• Multiple uploads via HTTP
• Fix for admin can't see user galleries
• Advanced Album Sorting
• Entirely reworked documentation
• "hidden" category for albums preparations[/list:u]

hello, is there a date when that will be implemented in a version ? or a hack ?



thanks, doing great work here !

Also please do not ask "when will it be ready?" - we've just released the 1.2.0final, so don't expect the next release to be that soon!

no release date fixed yet, nor is there a hack available. Thanks for asking for a release date - we just love it when people ask that question :?

This is more of a design issue than a feature, but it would be nice if as much was done in the styles as possible. So, for example, if someone wanted to do a completely table-less design, they could.

Separating the HTML from the code is unlikely to be accomplished in version 1.3.0 it simply is too huge a rewrite.

What about the "Breadcrumb for meta-albums" functions?

Is that mean that pictures could be multi-albums shared? (that is the greatest improvement I'd like to see in a future version...)

Sorry if its a stupid question but I don't know what Breadcrumb could mean... (and the translation in french is not very figurative)

Gaugau, doen't think I'm an idiot, because I'm not.
Just too much coding & designing work, and I can't even
explain what's it all about XML, it's kinda funny even.

But to the point - the most valuable thing I miss in this versions of CPG is
- image crop (for thumbnail and/or full-size pic)

Is there any way I could help you with redesigning the new skin, I mean not only the colours, but the icons as well?

[Joachim Müller]

resize/crop has been added only recently to the dev version in the cvs by Tarique and will be in the next release.

Help is always appreciated - if your interesst lies in skin and proper html I'd say the themes that come with coppermine could need an overhaul to be more standards compliant. We also appreciate the submission of themes or modifications of any kind.

[gmarik]

Is there a place, I could post the screens of what I allready got?
I would be interested on making a xHTML standart CPG 1.3 skin.

[moorey]

gmarik, just create a new topic on the appropriate forum (if it doesn't go anywhere, start with the General discussion). Yes - you can always provide a link to your site, or yes post the screenshots in the thread of what you already got.

[danik]

when do expect the 1.3 out? i can't wait to let my users upload multiple pics and galleries.

[Casper]

GauGau's favourite question, especially as he has stated quite clearly twice in this thread

Also please do not ask "when will it be ready?"

You better hope he's in a good mood when he reads this, so you just get the response 'when it's ready',  :wink:

[Joachim Müller]

hehe, you alread answered it appropriately  :wink:

OK, for those who are waiting for cpg1.3.0 to come out, I'm going to update you a bit: we (the dev team) have commited ourselves to have some "must-have" features in cpg1.3.0 before we release; all those "must-haves" are ready except "multiple http uploads" (hyperion is currently working on it). As soon as it's done, we'll release a non-public beta to the tester group (to iron out bugs that might exist) and set a "feature-freeze" for the devs (meaning: they mustn't add new features to the dev version; only bug-fixes are allowed). At this stage, the english language file will go out to the translators (leaving them approx. 1 week for the translation). When the majority of the translations has been sent back, we'll build a second beta (or "release candidate", if you prefer), that will be again tested (especially on possible bugs with the translations). After another testing period of 1 week we'll build a public release, and you'll all be notified that a new version is out.

I know, the big question still hasn't been answered - I'll give you a rough estimate: do not expect the release of cpg1.3.0 before the end of march...

Let us put a beta out - ASAP

In fact if the dev check out installs without errors (it does for me) - lets put that out, with just a few lang files next week.

[freez]

I remember a discussion going on 6 months ago about integrating iBULC into CP for the multiple uploads. I would love to see that happen.

(https://coppermine-gallery.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ibulc.com%2Fimages%2Fselecting_scr.gif&hash=44dcf5b66efcd6f6876072d72b88b29333f062db) (https://coppermine-gallery.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ibulc.com%2Fimages%2Fuploading_scr.gif&hash=8b3905d190c8c5b7cd6466280b15087ec8925e3e)

[Tarique Sani]

Since iBLUC is a closed, commercial, and platform dependent application it will never be integrated as main stream in CG.

However - anyone who wants is welcome to create an add-on

Is it possible to add my CSS popup information hack ?

Compatible with IE & Mozilla browsers : and ... 150 bytes of CODE

Mozilla isn't able to read actually the ALT information when the cursor is on a album (or photos) to have infos on it.
