Flickr style image annotations for cpg1.5.x

[Αndré]

Add text annotations to your images like on Flickr. Pretty cool.

This plugin is a port from the cpg1.4.x plugin 'Flickr style image annotations' created by Nibbler.


I fixed some bugs and added a new meta album 'lastnotes'. There is also a button which deletes orphaned entries (the annotations won't be deleted when you delete files).

Subversion access
This plugin resides in the subversion repository as well. Advanced users who know their way around in subversion are welcome and encouraged to take a look at the most recent version of this plugin that is available through SVN access exclusively. Please understand though that the usage of the subversion repository itself is beyond the scope of support on the coppermine support board - if you have questions how to use subversion, take a look at the documentation that comes with cpg1.5.x, section "Subversion" for a start. The "official" releases of this plugin often lag behind in version count and features behind what is in the subversion repository. For subversion web access try http://coppermine.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/coppermine/branches/cpg1.5.x/plugins/annotate/. To check out using your local subversion client, use https://coppermine.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/coppermine/branches/cpg1.5.x/plugins/annotate/.

Version 2.4 fixes a bug (typo) that prevented adding new annotations.

[Αndré]

Version 2.6 takes care of the new meta album validation.

Version 2.7 visually integrates to the new file menu (buttonlist).

I know it was talked about briefly in the 1.4x version thread; but is there any (simple) way to add annotations to the gallery-wide search?

I'd love to use this to tag family photo albums, then search for those people in photos.

[Αndré]

Currently there is no real search. But there is a meta album 'shownotes', which can be accessed from every annotation.

I created a custom search form, which fits the needs of my personal gallery. It contains a list of all different annotations and you can search for pictures where you tagged person 1 AND person 2. I'm not sure if it's possible to extend the built-in in that way. Alternatively the custom search form could be added to this plugin if desired.

Is it possible to add the option to allow user by group permission to add/edit/delete any image in the gallery instead of just their own?

[Αndré]

Isn't this option already built-in?

[paintblr]

Users only have the option to adjust their own posts. It would be nice to allow a registered user to comment directly on someone else's images. I am sure that some boards would rather only allow the user the ability annotate on their own so it would be best to have an option in the permissions configuration screen to check off it that are allowed global or local permission. As admin I have the ability to add/edit/delete any annotations and that is what I would like all of my registered users to have too. Thank you for the time. Even a code hack at this time would be great if possible.

As admin I have the ability to add/edit/delete any annotations and that is what I would like all of my registered users to have too.

That's already possible. Just set it accordingly on the plugin config page.

[paintblr]

I hate to disagree, but I disagree. 

The settings are set identical for admin as registered users and I can add/edit/delete any images as admin, but registed users can only add/edit/delete from their own images. Feel free to test in my gallery I will set the global registration password to "test" for the next few hours and this is the gallery link http://www.granbycameraclub.com/gallery.

[Αndré]

Please provide a test account.

[Joachim Müller]

We certainly won't go through registration just to be able to support you

[paintblr]

Is there a way that I can PM you a password? I would be happy to create a test account.

[Αndré]

No. The PM system has been disabled. Please post user name and password in this thread.

[paintblr]

username = test
password = test

Please change the password after you login so that it does not get flooded. Thanks!

I can confirm your issue and have tracked it down to r7306. I'll fix it and release a new version asap.

[Αndré]

Version 2.8 should fix your issue.
