Stories or link post

[bulldozer]

I would like to see a way of posting url links in Coppermine or story posts.

You already can post links - use bbcode (similar to the bbcode here on the board). You can add long text in category description, album description and picture description. You have bbs integration to seamlessly integrate with a board, where the really long stories could go. What else do you need?

By story posts do you mean uploading text files? That's actually something I am in need of as well.

I turned my CPM into a Fan Art gallery: http://me.warcry.com/content/fanart/

And I intended to use it also as a Fiction gallery. Is there no possibility of being able to attach .txt, .rtf, .doc, or .pdf files? I know 4images allows PDFs... unfortunately we can't integrate our gallery with phpBB as on the network my site is on, there are existing forums.

Uploading of text files, as well as multi media files, is standard in the next version, and a mod is available for this version, look in the stickies in the mods forum for 'coppermine should allow video'

[bulldozer]

I have the video mod. It allows thumbnails for .txt files.

.Htm and .html don't seem to work, though.

[omniscientdeveloper]

"htm" and "html" files should be allowed, maybe not in the original release though. You can modify it by adding it to the document array in the init.inc.php file.

Your suggestion worked! Thanks bro!

[Joachim Müller]

keep in mind that allowing html files (or even php) is a huge security risk. Only recommended if users can't upload at all on your gallery, i.e. if you (as gallery admin) will be the only person to upload scripts.

good security tip.

It would be nice if for text and html links, it would display it on same page as opposed to opening in a popup.

I'm looking in terms of something like an adult membersarea with stories, videos, and images.

I think alot of you are thinking of coppermine as sort of an additional thing to be added for forums where users can upload pics. I think it can work great for both, but there are different styles for both. Integrated with a forum, users can post stories on the forum. ON a membership type area, lots of stories would be posted more from the top down and be more organized.

to open links in the same window, search the code and replace

Code Select Expand

target="_blank"with

Code Select Expand

target="_top" - simple html.

To avoid pop-ups, edit displayimage.php and find

Code Select Expand

$pic_html = "<a href=\"javascript:;\" onClick=\"MM_openBrWindow('displayimage.php?pid=$pid&fullsize=1','" . uniqid(rand()) . "','scrollbars=yes,toolbar=yes,status=yes,resizable=yes,width=$winsizeX,height=$winsizeY')\">";and modify accordingly.
