Flickr style image annotations for cpg1.5.x

[paintblr]

Again it would be best to allow admin to assign global or local permissions to each group for that.

PS. I tested with IE7 and IE8 and it did not work for add, edit, or delete. Just an FYI if not tested yet.

The test account doesn't work anymore. I've tested in on my local testbed and the buttons will be displayed for your own and pictures from other users. What exactly does not work for you?

A config setting could be added later, if your actual issue is fixed.

I just tested with Firefox and it is working like "I" want it to. I think that other's would rather you have the option of only allowing annotating on the user submitted images. GREAT thank you to you for your time and VERY quick responses.

I deleted the test account because you never changed the password as I requested and it left our gallery open for spam attack. <-- Not meant to me mean at all, just a fact.

The issue with IE7 and IE8 are that you cannot see the annotations on the image or add/edit/delete them. The button for annotate is there, but does not do anything. I tested both IE7 and IE8 with both XP home and XP PRO. For now I can just tell my users if they want that function they need to use Firefox, but I thought that you would want to know about it and it would be great it Firefox was not required. Please note that I have not tested with other browsers, but these are the leaders so I only tested with them.

IE issue should be fixed with version 2.9. Please confirm.

Darn you Andre' .. If I could get the people that work for me to work as fast and good as you I would be a happy man. IE8 checks out fine now. Thank you!!!!

Here is just another suggestion. Could we give the user the option to turn off "allow annotations" for individual images or albums even? I would prefer the default to be allow equals yes and let them turn it off if needed.

[paintblr]

One minute later and another suggestion. Can we add a hyperlink like "Most viewed" and "Top rated" that would filter to just show annotated images in the gallery?

Meta album 'lastnotes' already exists. I'll think about your other suggestions later.

[paintblr]

So sorry. I do not see it in my gallery and I assume that I need to activate it to get it to show up. Any advice?

[Αndré]

You have to add the link manually to your gallery. Currently there is no option to add it automatically to your gallery. Maybe it will be added later. You can access it here: http://www.granbycameraclub.com/gallery/thumbnails.php?album=lastnotes

Have an issue installing this plugin on http://www.sk-foto.info with PHP4.

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '(', expecting '}' in /var/www/SoMeThInG/html/coppermine/plugins/annotate/codebase.php  on line 83

installs fine with PHP5

Attached updated plugin in initial post.

[taucher_0815]

Installes well with PHP4.

But my be i am to stupid to annotate any of the pictures...

[Αndré]

Please check the annotation permissions for your user group. You currently only have an (empty) list. You need to enable free text annotations in the first place to build the list and then switch back to e.g. list-only.

many thanks!

works now

Version 2.8 should fix your issue.

I've installed 2.10 version but I got the same problem: as administrator I see annotate button and annotations but as registered user I see nothing (neither buttons nor text!) My configuration as attachment...

can you help me?

[Αndré]

Please post a link to your gallery and a test user (non-admin) account.

Sorry mate but I don't understand what you could check using a non admin account. You have to believe me ! :-)  Anyway, i had a look at the codebase.php module  and force "annotate" to all registered users in order they can annotate any picture, owned or not. Like Flicker, I think  these notes are very useful for commenting part of pictures. I did this changes

function annotate_get_level($what) {
    global $CONFIG, $cpg_udb;

   // Admin always have the highest permission
    if ($what == "permissions" && GALLERY_ADMIN_MODE) {
        return 3;
    }
    else
       Return 2;
  ----
  ----
----

and it seems to work fine because all users has its annotate button and are be able to leave annotations about any picture.  Only one question : returning 2 could be "dangerous" for the other annotations ? I've checked and doesn't seem but could be better you opinion !   

Beautiful tool !

Sorry, but I cannot support individual mods. Instead I'd like to figure out why the plugin doesn't work as expected for you.

I told you Andre: As administrator I can make annotations everywhere but not as a registered user (only works on owned pictures). That was my question ! :-)  Thank you anyway.
