Add a link into my pictures

[rogeriogottardi]

I'm making my local gallery. i've tried upload videos but it didn't work. So, i got an idea: first i send a screenshot from my video and could click on the image and the link for the photo could be a local link to my video, or, in second, i could put a local link to my video in my image description. I've tried two ideas but nothing gave right. how can i do this?

We should fix your actual issue instead of fixing a workaround which currently doesn't work for whatever reason.

I've tried upload videos but it didn't work.

Please be more detailed. What exactly happened?

[rogeriogottardi]

when i try to upload a video i receive a message: wrong parameters. I've tried change the options, file size limit, extension, but nothing worked.

How do you try to upload the video file to your gallery? HTML uploader / flash uploader / FTP + batch-add?
What's the file size of the video file?
What's the PHP upload limit of your server?
Which file type is the video file?

[rogeriogottardi]

Ok, i can send a movie now (it was a limit size in my php host), but, how can I change a miniature from my movies? and, I still can't watch the movie (I only got sent and the miniature don't appear).

Which file type is the video file?

[rogeriogottardi]

I realized how to watch the movie, but, i still have one doubt: my movies are on Disk D:/ but the server is on C:/, when I send a movie, the same  is moved to the disk C:/ (make a copy). There's a way to not copy the movie and use the original address?

Should be possible by creating a symbolic link in your albums folder which points to your movies folder on drive D. Then, you need to use batch-add to add the movies to your Coppermine gallery.

Ok, i know already how to fix. Only one last doubt: is there a way to allow HTML on my description image?

[Αndré]

Out of the box, you cannot use HTML, but BBCode: http://documentation.coppermine-gallery.net/en/bbcode.htm

[rogeriogottardi]

bbcode do not work for me, but thanks

What do you mean with "do not work"? Please be more detailed if you need support. A link to your gallery and/or some examples would really help.

[rogeriogottardi]

I don't found a way to put a link on my discription image. The link with bbcode works fine, but, when i click on a link created by bbcode, nothing happens and the link don't open. If i could create a link like html, in a mode _blank, maybe should work.

[rogeriogottardi]

PS: when i use a link likes www.google.com, the link opens. But, when i use a link likes file://test/001.jpg, the link don't works.

[rogeriogottardi]

The problem is on firefox: do not accept for security reasons. Thanks

That could also be solved by using a symbolic link, so you can access your files via http://
Maybe Coppermine could also be modified to make clickable links out of "file://foo/bar" strings, but that's obviously not the easiest nor best way.
