Coppermine should also allow Video

[Casper]

@ lancefiasco,

a not very pretty workaround, to prevent users from uploading non image files, would be to remove the other files from the 'allowed file types' in config.  

Then just put it back in temporarily when you want to upload.
as I said, not very pretty.

@lance:
Question #1: The feature you're requesting isn't possible right now.
Question #2: Make sure you select the folder you want it to be uploaded to. That error is most likely caused when you don't select an upload folder.

@dondo:
Neither GD nor IM handle videos, so no it's not an IM issue. Verify that your files are url friendly, ie., no spaces, no quotes, etc. Sometimes you can get away with it. Sometimes you can't.

I may sound like a complete moron, but how do I select an upload folder?

[lancefiasco]

Do I need to alter those?

Accepted file extensions for uploaded pictures
Allowed image types (only valid for ImageMagick)

Is there a way to have a video or flash mov album?

The minimum i would think is at least be able to have a still image, but when you click it opens up a window and plays the mov in a new window.... is this possible??\

What about audio files?

[hyperion]

Yes, you can download the mod for 1.2.x, or you can dolwnload the 1.3 beta where it is standard.

[lancefiasco]

Sorry for being stupid! :roll:

...but maybe someone can help me to get started (post-installation)?

If your problem is still with mp3s then you need to make sure the variable ALLOWED_SND_TYPES (I think), in the init.inc.php file has an entry for mp3s, which it should, if you're using the original mod. If you're using CPG version 1.3 then your problem is something else.

[lancefiasco]

Everything is working now

[omniscientdeveloper]

What was the fix?

[lancefiasco]

What was the fix?

Nothing.  I just used 'Batch Add', instead of manual upload, which for some reason wasn't working.

I too really need the thumbnails...if anyone can help soon rather than later that would be greatly appreciated, as there is an obvious demand present for such.

I don't think that being demanding is the right step for our thumbnails problem :!:
It's not gonna motivate our Coppermine Heros  

[omniscientdeveloper]

I am considering different methods of uploading the thumbnails for the different filetypes. I want to make it as easy as possible, both the uploading and coding portions. When will I get the chance to code it? I don't know. I'll try to do it soon, but don't be surprised if it's not in the final 1.3 release, as it's feature-locked.

Sorry if you are getting the wrong idea...I just want the developers to see that's it's a needed feature.

I think it's fairly obvious Omni (and the other devs know this), and is working on the best solution.  But remember, we all have priorites,and it will be done when Omni has the time.  Please remember we are all unpaid for the work on coppermine, and have our real jobs and family lives to live as well.
In other words, please be patient, or even have a go at doing it yorself, and posting your solution.

^I wish I was capable of doing this stuff.  You guys deserve a lot of credit. :!:

Why does the config.inc.php file need to be overlayed?  Looks like all that is different is the userdefined db prefs?

I have uploaded everything (but the config.inc.php since it was the same) and at first glance seems okay, but when I try to upload .mpeg, .avi - I get the "no picture was uploaded" message from the gallery.  

Any ideas???

Thanks
Phil

Try using 'Batch Add Pictures' from the admin menu.  I have a similar problem, but the admin upload via FTP seems to work.

[group54]

lance,

Well it worked doing that.  Thanks for the tip.  There must be something we are missing though.  That is not very useful for members to upload their movies.  Do you have a work around for this?

Thanks,
Phil

Phil,

You files most likely exceed the PHP's default 2MB upload limit or one of the other upload relevant php.ini settings.
