features of coppermine 1.2.0

[Joachim Müller]

you'll probably be excited about the next version of coppermine - I want to give you a preview what features have already been added into our actual development version (most of these features have been done by tarique, based on his usability enhancement hacks for CPG 1.1.0):

• "Powered by Coppermine" points to this site
• Added Title option to sort in albums
• Separated the breadcrumb block so that it can be placed independently of category
• Added option to choose max height or width for thumbnails - will help in

creating nicer looking thumbnail rows and cols

• Added option to display a clickable flimstrip of thumbnails below the

image display

• Added option to show first level albums of a category instead of just

statistics of the category.

• Added Absolute URL of a picture in the pic info this helps in giving out

links to other people and the same picture will display regardless of the
sort setting of the individual

• Added option of turning on OR off the showing of "Private" Icon to

unlogged / unprivileged user

• Added Breadcrumb navigation to include album names
• Added Last Updated Album Block
• Fixed the bug in search.inc.php
• Added Edit Name in comments
• Favorites list
• Resizing of thumbnails and intermediate pics after initial upload
• Full-size pop-up closes on click
• A block to have custom content like a news feed, info about the site ect
• IP logging on comments and picture uploads
• IP banning
• Fixed Batch Update to force selection of an album & identify the category of an album
• Added Email notification on Comment
• Added 'no right-click' admin option
[/list:u]to be continued... :wink:

feature request board

Do you have any ideay how long it will take for the new version to come available? Because I can't wait for some of the new features: filmstrip and the infoblock i.e.

I know that, but it's quite some work to add them manually to my gallery, and I think they don't work for all thems and languages...

Wait for the next release - they already work for all the themes and hopefully be translated into most languages

That's my plan. And for that I want to know when the new release will be available...

@ Surf Dude:

There has been a feature freeze, and the translations are coming back from the contributors. You can expect it sooner rather than later.  

Besides, good things come to those who wait!

I was sitting down to install Coppermine today and remembered that 1.2 would be released shortly.  Do I need to wait for version 1.2 or will it have an upgrade script?  Also, if I do need to wait, can you give an approximate timetable as to when 1.2 will be released?

[jack]

There should be a simple upgrade procedure.

Upgrading from 1.1 version to 1.2 will be trivial. We are still working on upgrade scripts for 1.0.

[Zerg]

But anyhow, will it take a week, or a month?.. An approximate date of the release would be great... :roll:

soon.....

[jack]

I think the traditional answer is "When it's done"  

[Zerg]

soon.....

Hahah, I see.

It`s just that I urgently need a gallery for my community and thinking whether I should install CPG 1.1.1 now and upgrade it to 1.2 later, or wait a bit (if that is "a bit") and get myself 1.2 (integrating with Invision).

[Zarsky]

I would install 1.1.1 now, and then upgrade.  There will be a trivial upgrade path to 1.2.  Avoid making too many changes to the built-in themes, so your upgrade will proceed smoother.

Thanks for an advice!

There are more features that will go into the next release; I added them to the first posting in this thread...

• IP logging on comments and picture uploads
• IP banning
• Fixed Batch Update to force selection of an album & identify the category of an album
• Added Email notification on Comment
• Added 'no right-click' admin option[/list:u]GauGau

[jack]

A slight correction ..

The banning is completely seperate from the IP logging - it prevents any access to coppermine based on either IP address or username.

[Joachim Müller]

Thanks for the correction - I edited my post accordingly...
