cpg1.6 plugin contributions / Re: Star rating/voting plugin
Last post by 406man - April 03, 2026, 05:17:05 PMThanks for creating the plugin. I've tried it in one of my galleries and here are some comments.
As installed the new voting stars are much bigger than the standard ones and I like the configuration option in the plugin to set their type and size. Bigger ones mean it's easier to position the cursor suitably when voting which is an advantage. The heart icon looks really good and I can see it being popular.
I think it would help the individual stars to visually stand out if there was a border between them as currently they merge together. The hearts are fine as they already have a border.
CPG potentially will display the voting stars in three different places:
1. Below the thumbnail in the thumbnail display, if enabled.
2. Below the image in the image view where you vote
3. In the image view if an image has received any votes the Rating will be displayed.
In standard CPG all three places display the same star icon. With the rating plugin the voting star icon changes in 2 above but 1 and 3 remain as before. For visual consistency I think it would be better to use the same voting/rating icon in all three places if that's possible. As it is, when hearts are selected the "Select to rate" below the image on the Image View screen has hearts but the Rating in the File Information section below still has stars which is confusing.

cpg1.6 plugin contributions / Star rating/voting plugin
Last post by ron4mac - March 31, 2026, 08:32:08 PMThis plugin provides for a bit of improved user interface when voting/rating a gallery item. It uses a small, configurable selector popup to make it easier to make your selection, especially with touch devices.
Please provide feedback for any issues or make suggestions.
Update: Version 1.1
To provide consistency with the legacy method, use the 'new' icon during hover.

Last post by VolkerF - March 22, 2026, 07:03:29 AMHallo nochmal,
ich habe meinen Beitrag im falschen Forum, es muss für cpg1.6x sein. Desweiteren habe ich selbst mal probiert Sterne zu vergeben und es geht tatsächlich nicht. Wenn ich 5 Sterne anklicke werden nur 3 Stern angenommen, ohne Fehlermeldung. Also was kann das verursachen?
Danke, Volker

Last post by VolkerF - March 22, 2026, 06:57:09 AMHallo und guten Morgen,
es gibt ja die Möglichkeit Bilder mit bis zu 5 Sternen zu bewerten. Eine Userin schreibt gestern folgendes:

...wieder ist es mir missglückt bei der Bewertung Dir 5 Sterne zukommen zu lassen.
Nach 2 Sternen blockiert Deine Webseite und lässt keine Korrektur zu.
Was kann ich dagegen tun und woran kann das liegen?
Danke und Gruß, Volker

Last post by ron4mac - March 20, 2026, 02:55:06 AMYou can use some of these variables and defines in your custom header include file to present different content according to the CPG state (logged in [USER_ID>0], user is an admin, etc.)

Last post by 406man - March 19, 2026, 06:07:10 PMMy gallery doesn't have a file with this name and the forum thread here says the same:
https://coppermine-gallery.com/forum/index.php?topic=80854.0
For a starting point could you clarify what your header.php file is doing and where it lives in your directory structure.
The admin tools are normally in the Admin menu which is displayed only for those users with Administrator privilege.

In my header.php are some things like Database backup and other useful admin tools included.
Unfortunately, it's displayed as a header and visible to EVERYONE who visits the site.
Isn't it possible to display it on a user-specific or admin-specific basis?
So... either EVERYONE sees it, or user groups, or ONLY ADMIN.
Could this query be included in the next version, or is there a simple way to query the admin status directly within the header file?
Regards, Daniel
