There is an upgrade script for this release, you will need to run the upgrade.php script to update your new options. The list of files to change since the 5.21 (Build 12/9) are: adm-cats.php adm-misc.php bulkupload.php comments.php comshow.php ecard.php editphoto.php image-inc.php member.php misc.php pp-inc.php search.php showgallery.php showmembers.php showphoto.php slideshow.php uploadphoto.php useralbums.php templates/albhead.tmpl templates/alb-editalb.tmpl templates/albums.tmpl templates/bulkupload.tmpl templates/cathead.tmpl templates/editphoto.tmpl templates/membhead.tmpl templates/showgallery.tmpl templates/showphoto.tmpl templates/uploadphoto.tmpl templates/vb3enhanced/albhead.tmpl templates/vb3enhanced/alb-editalb.tmpl templates/vb3enhanced/albums.tmpl templates/vb3enhanced/bulkupload.tmpl templates/vb3enhanced/cathead.tmpl templates/vb3enhanced/editphoto.tmpl templates/vb3enhanced/membhead.tmpl templates/vb3enhanced/showgallery.tmpl templates/vb3enhanced/showphoto.tmpl templates/vb3enhanced/uploadphoto.tmpl forums/vb3.php forums/phpbb2.php languages/*.php If you are running a version prior to the 5.21 December 9th build, please refer to this thread for more information on files that have changed between 5.21 versions: http://www.photopost.com/forum/showthread.php?t=116255 New Performace Options ====================== You will find three new configuration items which can impact performance on your site - these options generally apply to our larger customers only: Global Options -> Use category cache? For small and medium sized sites, the category cache can greatly improve performance by caching all of the category informatin into the database. However, if you have a large site with hundreds of categories or more, the cache may actually slow down your page load times. You can see if performance improves on your site by turning the category cache off (set to "no"). Show Gallery Options -> Display Featured Photos on this page? On large sites, the query to display Featured Photos on each Gallery page can be excessive - this is because the query is specific to each and every gallery and cannot be cached. If your gallery pages are running on the slow side, you can improve the page generation times by disabling the featured photos display. Setting this option to "no" will prevent the features from being displayed. Show Photo Options -> Display Admin quick move/delete options under photo? On large sites with hundreds (or thousands) of categories, the Admin Delete/Move option displayed on a Show Photo page can result in alot of additional HTML code on every photo page. You can disable this quick admin display by setting this option to "no"; and then any changes you need to make to the photo can be made by using the EDIT PHOTO link. ==================== VERSION UPDATE: 5.21 ==================== There is no upgrade script required for this update, you only need upload the changed files. The files that changed from the initial 5.2 release are: adm-inc.php adm-misc.php adm-photo.php adm-users.php bulkupload.php comments.php ecard.php editphoto.php header-inc.php inc_features.php index.php misc.php pp-inc.php register.php showgallery.php showmembers.php showphoto.php slideshow.php uploadphoto.php useralbums.php templates/albums.tmpl templates/categories.tmpl templates/commentspal.tmpl templates/editphoto.tmpl templates/indexstats.tmpl templates/quickcom.tmpl templates/showgallery.tmpl templates/showmlist.tmpl templates/thumbnail-filmstrips.tmpl templates/vb3enhanced/albums.tmpl templates/vb3enhanced/categories.tmpl templates/vb3enhanced/comments.tmpl templates/vb3enhanced/commentspal.tmpl templates/vb3enhanced/indexstats.tmpl templates/vb3enhanced/quickcom.tmpl templates/vb3enhanced/showgallery.tmpl templates/vb3enhanced/showmlist.tmpl templates/vb3enhanced/thumbnail-filmstrips.tmpl forums/vb3.php languages/*.php Fixes include: . vB3.5 Gold issue when vB and PP are in separate databases . vB3.5 Gold issue with quick comments Javasciprt error Also included fixes for: .

All bug reports reported to date =================== VERSION UPDATE: 5.2 =================== 5.2 is a code update which incorporates a couple bug fixes as well as significant performance enhancing changes and a new caching system which significant reduces page generation times. /*.php (except config-inc.php, config-int.php, inc_features.php, inc_photopost.php, install.php and upgrade.php) forums/ib2.php (only if using IB2 integration) forums/photopost.php (only if using stand-alone integration) forums/postnuke.php (only if using postnuke integration) forums/threads.php (only if using .threads integration) forums/vb3.php (only if using vB3 integration) templates/albums.tmpl templates/calpal.tmpl (new file) templates/catintro.tmpl templates/commentspal.tmpl templates/editphoto.tmpl templates/indexstats.tmpl templates/sidebar_leftopen.tmpl templates/sidebar_rightclose.tmpl templates/register.tmpl templates/showgallery.tmpl templates/showphoto.tmpl templates/statspal.tmpl templates/topposterpal.tmpl templates/topratedpal.tmpl templates/undercat.tmpl templates/uploadphoto.tmpl vb3enhanced/templates/albums.tmpl vb3enhanced/templates/calpal.tmpl (new file) vb3enhanced/templates/catintro.tmpl vb3enhanced/templates/commentspal.tmpl vb3enhanced/templates/editphoto.tmpl vb3enhanced/templates/indexstats.tmpl vb3enhanced/templates/quickcom.tmpl vb3enhanced/templates/showgallery.tmpl vb3enhanced/templates/showphoto.tmpl vb3enhanced/templates/sidebar_leftopen.tmpl vb3enhanced/templates/sidebar_rightclose.tmpl vb3enhanced/templates/statspal.tmpl vb3enhanced/templates/topposterpal.tmpl vb3enhanced/templates/topratedpal.tmpl vb3enhanced/templates/undercat.tmpl vb3enhanced/templates/uploadphoto.tmpl languages/*.php One language string was added to each language file: $Globals['pp_lang']['photosadded'] = "photos added"; To upgrade your 5.12, 5.13 or 5.14 version, simply upload the changed files and upgrade.php - run upgrade.php and select the 5.1x -> 5.2 upgrade and proceed as instructed. Changes: . New cache system to store frequently used data .

Query optimization to reduce queries on some pages . Fixed a checkboxes problem where deselecting all options would not change selections . .threads integration updated to reduce queries for users who belong to multiple usergroups ==================== VERSION UPDATE: 5.14 ==================== 5.14 is a bug-fixing release and adds vBulletin 3.5RC2 compatibility. vBulletin 3.5RC2 compatibility is included in this update; you only need update your files, PhotoPost will determine which version you are running and automatically compensate for the differences between the 3.5 and 3.0x versions. There is no upgrade script required for this update, you only need upload the changed files. Files changed since 5.13 release: adm-cats.php adm-misc.php bulkupload.php comments.php comshow.php ecard.php header-inc.php image-inc.php member.php misc.php pp-inc.php showgallery.php showmembers.php showphoto.php slideshow.php uploadphoto.php useralbums.php forums/*.php templates/searchbox.tmpl templates/searchmem.tmpl templates/vb3enhanced/comments.tmpl templates/vb3enhanced/quickcom.tmpl templates/vb3enhanced/searchbox.tmpl templates/vb3enhanced/searchmem.tmpl ==================== VERSION UPDATE: 5.13 ==================== 5.13 is a security update to address a vunerability when integrated with vB3. Included in this update are all bug fixes reported to date since the 5.12 release. Files changed from 5.12 which fix reported issues: adm-cats.php adm-misc.php editphoto.php image-inc.php misc.php pp-inc.php search.php showgallery.php uploadphoto.php watermark.php forums/wowbb.php Security Update --------------- There is no upgrade script to run, the change for the security update is entirely in pp-inc.php. ==================== VERSION UPDATE: 5.12 ==================== 5.12 is a security update following a security audit by an independent third-party security company. Having checked virtually every line of code, the audit revealed some potentials for vulnerabilities which go back to the 4.8 release of PhotoPost. It is not our policy to detail these vulnerabilities as it can effect many users who are running older versions of the software and who need time to upgrade. Many of the issues were mitigated by the 5.11 release, but the 5.12 release is the official security update. Anyone who is running a prior version of PhotoPost (especially anyone running 4.8 or later) is strongly encouraged to upgrade to 5.12. Files changed from 5.11: /*.php (except config-inc.php, config-int.php, inc_features.php, inc_photopost.php, install.php and upgrade.php) /templates/showgallery.tmpl /forums/*.php (you only need your integration file) languages/dutch.php (new language added) You only need upload the updated scripts, there is no upgrade script required for this upgrade. ==================== VERSION UPDATE: 5.11 ==================== Since releasing 5.1, we've identified many variables that did not get filtered on systems which had registered globals turned off. The vast majority of issues reported to date were resolved by making sure these variables were filtered properly. Along the way we also identified several smaller issues which were resolved. We recommend anyone running the 5.1 release (especially early builds), upgrade to the 5.11 release. The upgrade is simple, there is only one query being added (a new setting). Files changed: /*.php (except config-inc.php, config-int.php, inc_features.php, inc_photopost.php) /templates/alb-addalb.tmpl /templates/categories.tmpl /templates/filmstrip-hor.tmpl (new file) /templates/filmstrip-ver.tmpl (new file) /templates/membhead.tmpl /templates/searchmem.tmp /templates/showgallery.tmpl /templates/showmgall.tmpl /templates/showphoto.tmpl /templates/vb3enhanced/alb-addalb.tmpl /templates/vb3enhanced/categories.tmpl /templates/vb3enhanced/filmstrip-hor.tmpl (new file) /templates/vb3enhanced/filmstrip-ver.tmpl (new file) /templates/vb3enhanced/membhead.tmpl /templates/vb3enhanced/searchmem.tmp /templates/vb3enhanced/showgallery.tmpl /templates/vb3enhanced/showmgall.tmpl /templates/vb3enhanced/showphoto.tmpl /languages/*.php /forums/smf.php To upgrade your 5.1 version, simply upload the changed files and upgrade.php - run upgrade.php and select the 5.1 -> 5.11 upgrade and proceed as instructed. Changes: . New option to select where you want filmstrip previews to appear on the showphoto page (top, bottom, left, right) . Reduced queries in showmembers.php by 1 and optomized another query . Fixed Recent Addition links on showmembers page . Optimized Scan DB to cache username to reduce number of queries for each photo scanned . Added code to de-register global variables prior to initializing our own variables . Many scripts updates with variable initializations . Dutch language file updated with current string translations . Group By Member fixed for Recent Photo links . Added filesize and disk space limit checks to uploadphoto for single photo uploads . smf.php gets avatar and signature support =================== VERSION UPDATE: 5.1 =================== This is a major update which involves alot of rewriting in the code to improve overall performance and add new features. New Features for PhotoPost 5.1 ------------------------------ . PhotoPost Image Protection System (IPS). IPS gives a webmaster much more flexibility in controlling access to original images; images can be located outside the data directory structure for additional security. Image locations can be masked through the use of a redesigned watermark.php which adds security and can serve up images every from password protected directories (this ensures that only those people who you want to will have access). Additional features include: Admin section for IPS which groups options for protecting images into one area, allows for the directory for image storage to be changed (and moves files to new location), edit/creation of .htaccess files and configuration of the watermark.php script. . Recent comments listing - previously a modification, this addition provides for a "more" link off the Recent Comments box and gives people a thumbnail listing of photos with the most recent comments. . Group By Member option in category dropdowns which allow a user to change the category display to show images grouped by user (display is changed to showmembers.php format to show a list of members who have posted in the category and allow selection of that user to show only their photos posted in that category). . Members Gallery. An option to make any category funciton like a Members Gallery by default. Works like the function above, but changes the functionality so that the gallery is presented in the Member Gallery format each time. . Optimizations of queries to improve performance, increase security and reduce errors when invalid data is passed. . New integration: http://www.fusionbb.com . Approve a photo while viewing it (Admins and Mods) . Images awaiting approval will display "pending approval" thumbnail in category to indicate their thumbnail is there, just waiting approval . Improved language strings for easier comprehension . Smarter URL parsing when grabbing images from a URL . Single image uploads done in 1 step . When image uploading complete, auto forwarded to category (no click here page) . Second dropdown for album selection (if user has albums) during upload to make it easier to find the category/album users wants to upload images to . Most Recent features/Most Popular/Last X days/All features link to "virtual categories" where next/prev links take a user through the images . Revamped URL construct to remove unnecessary URL tags . Rewritten slideshow feature - works as expected, much faster and uses alot less memory . New "filmstrip" layout for showphoto - templates for placing in default, side or top will be available (top by default) . Improved switches for turning off the Last Photo Uploaded/Last Comment Posted columns which place the new posts icon in the same box as the number of photos/comments. You can see this on http://www.photopostdev.com/photopost/index.php and http://www.viperalley.com/gallery/index.php . Albums attached to categories will have their last photos/posts links updated when new photos are uploaded . Approve photos sorting ignores display orders when displaying sorted views . vB3enhanced users can create separate sets of templates based on the styleid The IPS is the next step towards a secure photo gallery with eCommerce capabilities. By providing security for images our users will be greater control over the distribution of content from their sites. UPGRADES -------- As always, we recommend you perform a database backup prior to performing an upgrade. While the changes to the database are minimal, we are performing some maintenance on some fields to remove excessive backslashes. Because we are changing the way we store data in the database, you may find yourself needing to reedit some descriptions to remove a slash or two. Every file in this upgrade has changed and will require a complete reupload before executing the upgrade.php script (except config-inc.php and config-int.php). /*.php languages/*.php forums/*.php (whichever forum integration file you use, you do not need the others) templates/*.tmpl templates/vb3enhanced/*.tmpl Note for vB3Enhanced users: We no longer require you to copy your templates over the old ones, you now upload the vb3enhanced directory in its entirety and PhotoPost will select this directory automatically when vB3Enhanced mode is enabled. How do I upgrade? ----------------- 1) In your Admin Options, close your gallery. 2) Backup your database. 3) Copy the files from the ZIP download in the main directory, except config-inc.php/config.int.php and install.php. Upload the templates, templates/vb3enhanced, forums and languages directory. Note for vB3Enhanced users: See note above concerning new templates directory layout. 4) Run the upgrade.php script and follow the upgrade instructions to upgrade from your current version. Note that all the upgrade scripts have been combined into one easy-to-use upgrade script and you no longer have to upload individual scripts from the upgrades directory. 5) Once the upgrade is complete, delete the upgrade.php script and reopen your boards. WATERMARK.PHP ------------- The watermark.php file has been significantly changed to incorporate security and the ability to serve images from a secure location without the need to configure the file separately as in past versions. All options for this script are done in the Admin Options panel for the new IPS section. ==================== VERSION UPDATE: 5.03 ==================== This update fixes a few issues that have been reported, changes the way the Edit Categories pages work (making it easier for larger sites to navigate), adds 4 new integrations and brings back a feature that our users have asked for (reassigning images during upload). The new forums to be added are: MyBB (user and style integration included) WowBB (user and style integration included) Mambo (user integration only) XMB (user integration only) There is no upgrade.php file to run; you only need to upload the files which have changed. adm-cats.php . changed way Edit Categories is displayed adm-misc.php adm-inc.php . added debug timing code to footer (optional) bulkupload.php . added back the option to change category during bulk upload editphoto.php . fixed moving of a copy of an image . fixed photo count for cat where image was copied to header-inc.php . modified some variable rewrites misc.php . added user check to report post pp-inc.php . removed version number from footer . added setcookie to getpass to clear previous password . fixed childsub zip download link showfull.php . fixed $skip_vbheader variable useralbums.php . fixed category counts when album is reassigned . fixed forward for admin edit alb-editalb.tmpl . fixed a close td tag featurepal.tmpl . removed outdated code categories.tmpl vb3enhanced/comments.tmpl (copy to templates directory) You only need to update these files if you are running one of the integrations: forums/postnuke.php . fixed usergroup issue forums/nuke.php forums/xmb.php forums/wowbb.php forums/mybb.php forums/mambo.php ==================== VERSION UPDATE: 5.02 ==================== Because we uncovered a couple potential security issues with PhotoPost 5.01, we're updating the build to 5.02 to include these fixes for the potential problems and also including any fixes reported to date. We have also changed the use of the cookie/variable "password" which was used to access password protected albums/categories. Because this variable conflicted with one of the forum cookies, we changed this variable to use "pppass" instead of "password". There is no upgrade.php file to run; you only need upload the files which have changed. adm-misc.php comments.php editphoto.php index.php member.php misc.php pp-inc.php register.php search.php showfull.php showgallery.php . added $PP_PATH to custom theme is_dir . fixed problem with grabbing thumbnails for albums when copies are used showmembers.php . fixed problem with grabbing thumbnails for preview when copies are used showphoto.php slideshow.php templates/getpass.tmpl The security fixes made to these files do not appear to effect 4.86, although you should read this thread if you are still running version 4.86: http://www.photopost.com/members/forum/showthread.php?t=112679 ==================== VERSION UPDATE: 5.01 ==================== Minor update to resolve some reported issues and one security fix. adm-misc.php adm-inc.php . added paging function to handle page links for the sort photos admin page header-inc.php . fixed footer rewrites . added a line to include files for search comment results image-inc.php . added +profile to remove IPTC/EXIF info from thumbnails . put $julian back into the new photo uploads so a Most Active sort would work as before member.php . added a line to prevent a possible security vunerability . added a fixstrings to the $editbio variable misc.php . added a user check to only allow registered users to submit a report photo pp-inc.php . page numbering fixed for last X days posts . change to is_image_private logic (no fix, just changed) . fixed the Zip Download link register.php . fixed language file inclusion search.php . fixed error that appeared when searching comments showfull.php . fixed the link for on the fly watermarks for popup large images showgallery.php . fixed sorting while viewing albums showphoto.php . fixed an old reference to $ugview which is no longer used . added an unset to the filstrip code to reduce memory usage during execution . added optimization code for the filmstrip code forums/vb3.php . added a function check to prevent a parse_bb error code from appearing templates/uploadphoto.tmpl . added formatting tags to left justify text consistantly templates/cathead.tmpl . removed hardcoded perpage variables templates/getpass.tmpl . xhtml updates and html formatting templates/sortphotos.tmpl . fixed the form link which was pointing to old file . xhtml updates templates/vb3enhanced/commentspal.tmpl . fixed loop which was cutting off 1 comment from being displayed There is no upgrade script; you only need to upload these changed files. =================== VERSION UPDATE: 5.0 =================== This is a major update.

New Features for PhotoPost 5 ---------------------------- x Moderator assignments by category x Unlimited extra fields including definable types using text, dropdowns, checkboxes and radio buttons x Hidden Photos photos which can be tagged "hidden" from appearing in the gallery itself, but can be viewed with a direct link (Approve Photos has a new "Hidden Photos" which can be used to view any hidden photos). x Contest Mode - allows a category to be set to "contest" mode where users can only vote for one photo in the category (no ratings per image), Moderators/Admins can control voting and reset votes. x Advanced Sorting on showgallery pages x improved search conditions (all words, one word matching) x Category "max images" setting - removes oldest images as new ones are added x Quick nav dropdown selector x "Image ## to ## of ####" indicator on showgallery page x Recent Posts category specific when in category x Thumbnails with Titles in showgallery page x Switch to turn of embedded multimedia x Report Post x Password variable removed from URLs and set by cookie x System closed indicator for Admin x Zip 'n Download optional for any category/albums x optional rotation for thumbnails (IM users only) x "mini" thumbnails for non-rotated thumbnails (only if rotating thumbs) x thumbnail sharpening (IM users only) x option to disable URL image downloads in uploadphoto x new graphics for default message buttons x page generation times x MySQL errors only displayed to admin x new thumbnail handling to remove php code from thumbnail templates and read the thumbnail file only once during execution x optional big image window popup x album titles clickable to album from album admin page x removed userid from new file uploads - files retain original name unless same filename has been uploaded to same category (support for legacy filenames included) x changed # of comments not to count votes if you are not displaying votes without comments x Print View of just image to allow for easy printing of photo x vB3 avatars improved to show file system avatars, db stored and site selected avatars x Minimium image size setting x DocType and Content-Type meta tag moved to language file x vB3 Enhanced picks up censored words x significantly improved vB3 integration removing the need for cookie and license info for vB3 Enhanced installations (vB3 does all authentication).

Upgrades ======== Please read the following information carefully - don't skim it - as there is important information here that will save you alot of headaches later if you don't. Backing up your database/files ------------------------------ I highly recommend you backup your photos table and make a copy of your data directory. This upgrade will move files around and if for some reason the script aborts, having a backup is the easiest way to start over. ***************** Important changes ***************** If you read the feature list, you'll see that there is alot of new stuff with PP5. One of the biggest changes is that we no longer rename a file with the userid as the prefix to an uploaded file. This was a major obstacle to people trying to migrate from one forum to another. Once you are running PP5, migration will be much easier (although not automatic as we still need to map userids during an upgrade, but we wont need to change filenames). The upgrade script will create directories in every category directory: thumbs, medium and mini. Then the upgrade will move and rename the -thumb and -med files from the category into their respective directories. When you are done your layout will look like: data/500/filename.jpg data/500/thumbs/filename.jpg data/500/medium/filename.jpg To ensure that all previously uploaded filenames are not "disconnected", the name of the file in the database is being updated to include the userid of the user. Also, we have consolidated all the language files into one language file. What does this mean and why should I care? ------------------------------------------ If you are running any scripts that pull information from the PhotoPost database, that script probably uses the -thumb and {userid}{filename}.jpg convention - those scripts would have to be modified to just use the {bigimage} filename and not use the userid at all. What else is new? ----------------- Alot! Once you have upgraded, you'll have plenty of new features to play with including Category Introductions, Index pagination, moderator assignments and a big boost in performance. A note about photo printing - there is code in this release to support a "shopping cart" feature which will be used to send images to a printing service (or used in a purchase feature); however, at this time the printing service does not have their side completed. Rather than take the code out, we're leaving it in so that we can work with the community to develop viable alternatives uses while we work with the partner on a photo printing solution. How do I upgrade? ----------------- 1) Backup your photos table and make a copy of your data directory. And remember, you can always rebuild your thumbnails and medium images should you need to - we don't touch the original images at all in this upgrade. 2) In your Admin Options, close your gallery. 3) Copy the files from the ZIP download in the main directory, except config-inc.php/config.int.php, install.php and watermark.php. Upload the templates, forums, images, languages and stylesheets directory (careful not to over-right any custom style you may have created/modified). vB3 Enhanced Users: If you are running the vB3 Enhanced version, upload the files from the vb3enhanced directory into your templates directory. 4) Run the upgrade.php script and follow the upgrade instructions to upgrade from your current version. Note that all the upgrade scripts have been combined into one easy-to-use upgrade script and you no longer have to upload individual scripts from the upgrades directory. 5) Once the upgrade is complete, delete the upgrade.php script and reopen your boards. Moving of files can take some time depending on your server and the number of images. Give the upgrade script plenty of time to do its work and avoid prematurely terminating the script. Sites with over 10,000 images can take several minutes or longer. New Installations ----------------- Users who plan a new install of PhotoPost 5 will be glad to see a new install.php script. We'll walk you through every step of the installation and check your settings along the way. We'll also prompt you for everything we need to get started up front. ===================== VERSION UPDATE: 4.8.2 ===================== Minor updates to fix a few files: pp-inc.php adm-approve.php image-inc.php (change to notification addition to use $upuser instead of userid) index.php (added permissions to comments view) showmembers.php (add permissions to comments view) forums/threads.php (fixed missing init_user_groups() function) forums/ib.php (slight changes to styles integration and a fix for import_user_groups to identify admins) forums/ib2.php (slight changes to styles integration, a fix for import_user_groups to identify admins and an authication addition) languages/german/* (all files updated to German strings) There are no database changes for this upgrade, so there is no upgrade script. You only need to upload files which have changed since 4.8.1. ===================== VERSION UPDATE: 4.8.1 ===================== 4.8.1 is the official upgrade to 4.8 which includes all of the fixes below, plus the new Personal Album features. We recommend all users update to the current release.

To upgrade any of the 4.7 releases, you only need to run upgrade47.php from the main directory. Files to Upload --------------- Main Scripts: Virtually all of the main php scripts have changed, so you will need to upload all the files from the main directory (except config-inc.php - see below). Templates / Languages: Most of the template files have changed and several of the language files have changed; best to upload the entire templates and languages directories. Stylesheets: We have added one new style tag "menubarnb" which can be used by people who want to use cells with borders, but do not want interior cells to also have borders. The menubarbn class is indentical to the menubar class except any border tags should be removed. You will want to copy your menubar class to menubarnb and make any changes. The default.css entries look like: .menubarnb{ background: #498CD1; font-size: 8pt; color: #FFFFFF; } .menubarnb A:link { color: #FFFFFF; } .menubarnb A:visited { color: #FFFFFF; } .menubarnb A:active { color: #FFFFFF; } .menubarnb A:hover { color: #000000; } Images: No changes. Forums: All of the forums scripts have been updated and you must upload the script for your integration. As a side note, you do not need any of the other scripts except the one you use for your integration. We've also added an index.htm file into this directory to prevent browsing. CONFIG-INC.PHP: There are only two small changes to config-inc.php: The version number in config-inc.php has changed and we have added back the $PP_PATH variable. You can either manually update the file or select Edit Config from the admin menu and then SUBMIT to update your file automatically. Once you have run the upgrade script and uploaded all the files, you will be good to go. Typical upgrade takes about 15 minutes including file upload time. ==================== VERSION UPDATE: 4.7i ==================== Minor update to address some users specific issues. - modified thumbnails to link to showphoto in approval page (filesizes link to image) (adm-approve.php) - removed two useless lines from (searchbox.tmpl) - when searching in Members Gallery when MG shows all photos, search searches all photos (showgallery.php) - fix to catrow() for complex cat/subcat arrangements for expand/collapse (pp-inc.php) - fix to catrow() for counting total photos/comments on index page (pp-inc.php) - changed do...while loop that a version of PHP doesnt like (albums.tmpl) - added quotes around variable to avoid errors from web bots (uploadphoto.php) - changed subscribe notification to when photo is approved versus uploaded (image-inc.php, adm-approve.php) - modified add favorites to save page number for continued browsing (addfav.php) - removed extra number printing (showgallery.php) - formatting change for when printing an empty cell (showgallery.php) Files changed (must be uploaded): adm-approve.php showgallery.php pp-inc.php uploadphoto.php image-inc.php addfav.php templates/searchbox.tmpl templates/albums.tmpl There are no database changes for this update. ==================== VERSION UPDATE: 4.7h ==================== Minor update to address some users specific issues. - removed checkmark for unapproved comments (pp-inc.php) - fixed expand/collapse for subcats of subcats (showgallery.php, pp-inc.php) - thumbnail.tmpl default template updated - skip watermark checkbox fix for bulkuploads (uploadphoto.tmpl, bulkupload.php) - subscribe to gallery link removed from non-categories (showgallery.php) - fixed 999 references in a couple places (changed to "fav") - fixed edit photo issues (editphoto.php) - removed blank spaces at end of adm-cinc.php - changed "no photos" message to "no users" for no matches in showmembers seach - seperated subscribe/page/email columns into own table to match top (showgallery.tmpl) - ib forums update (thanks Chuck!) - added (f) designation to version number printed in footer (pp-inc.php) Files changed (must be uploaded): pp-inc.php showgallery.php bulkupload.php editphoto.php index.php showmembers.php adm-cinc.php uploadphoto.php languages/showgallery.php templates/thumbnail.tmpl templates/bulkupload.tmpl templates/showgallery.tmpl templates/uploadphoto.tmpl forums/ib.php There are no database changes for this update. ==================== VERSION UPDATE: 4.7g ==================== Minor update to accomidate users with an open_basedir error and users with usergroup permissions issues. Files changed (must upload these): forums/*.php (you only need upload the file for the integration you use) login-inc.php pp-inc.php (also adds auto parsing of URLs) If you receive an "open_basedir" error when trying to include templates, you should edit the pp-inc.php file and read lines 17-20. You can remove the first define and uncomment the second to change the path to include your templates. These templates changed: templates/showmlist.tmpl templates/showmgall.tmpl templates/showgallery.tmpl templates/membhead.tmpl templates/indexhead.tmpl templates/index.tmpl templates/feature.tmpl templates/cathead.tmpl templates/albums.tmpl templates/searchmem.tmpl (changed to go button) The upgrade file has been updated with two cosmetic queries, you can re-run the upgrade script to update these two variables: upgrade467.php (adds query to update copyright label and PhotoPost internal version) ==================== VERSION UPDATE: 4.7f ==================== Minor update to add smilies back into BB Code.

Files changed: pp-inc.php showmembers.php showphoto.php showgallery.php Users who ran the initial 4.7 upgrade will also need to readd the Admin Option via the query: INSERT INTO settings VALUES (94,'Do you want Members Gallery to show all of a users photos?','memformat','','yes',57,2); Be sure to use any prefix for "setting" you may have. =================== VERSION UPDATE: 4.7 =================== Major update: Upgrade Script -------------- The upgrade scripts have been improved to make it easier to see which scripts should be run - the SQL files have been merged into the actual upgrade scripts, so only those scripts you need to run should be uploaded. If you are upgrading from PhotoPost 4.6.5 - 4.6.7, then you only need to upload the upgrade467.php script (into the PP main directory) and execute it. The upgrade will make some minor changes to your database structure. If you are upgrading from a version prior to 4.6.7, then you would need to run any number of scripts to bring you current; for example, if you are running version 4.1, then you would run these scripts (in order): upgrade41.php, upgrade45.php, upgrade46.php and upgrade467.php There is also an upgrade.php file which can be used to explain which scripts you should run and in which order. Files to Upload --------------- Main Scripts: Virtually all of the main php scripts have changed, so you will need to upload all the files from the main directory (except config-inc.php, header-inc.php and photopost.sql). Templates / Languages: Most of the template files have changed and several of the language files have changed; best to upload the templates and languages directories. Stylesheets: There are no changes to the stylesheets, however some new images have been uploaded into the theme directories in the stylesheets directories. You should upload these subdirectories to update your images. Images: There are several new images in the images directory, you should upload this whole directory so that you have all the new selectable frames and collapse/expand buttons. Forums: All of the forums scripts have been updated and you must upload the script for your integration. As a side note, you do not need any of the other scripts except the one you use for your integration. We've also added an index.htm file into this directory to prevent browsing. CONFIG-INC.PHP: There are only two small changes to config-inc.php: The version number in config-inc.php has changed and we have removed the $PP_PATH variable. You can either manually update the file or select Edit Config from the admin menu and then SUBMIT to update your file automatically.

You would only upload the files listed below for these new features - no other update or script is required. Navigation ---------- There is a new page number system which shows at the top and bottom of a showgallery page - also the addition of << and >> arrows to make navigation MUCH easier. Files changed: showgallery.php, templates/cathead.tmpl Bulk Actions ------------ After working on a gallery with 3,000 images, I added several enhancements to this page to make large gallery management a snap! - The page has been modified to display the image filename and the thumbnail links to a showphoto page which will open in a new window and allow you to see the image as others see it. - When you click SUBMIT, the page will return to where you left off - remembering page, sort and number of images per page. Previously it returned you to the first page. Files changed: adm-approve.php Delete Image ------------ Previously, when you deleted an image, it took you back to the first page of the gallery you were in. This update will return you to the page where you left off when viewing the image you deleted.

This mostly effected Unregistered user names and months of the year. Not all changes actually resulted in a change to the functionality as the code and the langauge files both used rp_lang. This is primarily a cosmetic change, but effected these files: . languages//pp-inc.php . forums/* (all files) . member.php (only used by Internal registrations) . register.php (only used by Internal registrations) . showphoto.php There are NO DATABASE CHANGES for this upgrade and no upgrade script is required; simply upload changed files. ==================================== PhotoPost 4.1: Build 9/5 Information ==================================== I've updated the build to benefit new downloads and anyone who needs these fixes: - Added back "notify of posts" to the image uploads - Added code to create directory of a user for admin who "upload as user" where the directory doesnt exist - Added code to allow admins to set a default title and description to their uploads (commonly used with "process all files") - Added a line to the phpbb2.php file to account for anonymous users - Fixed a problem with Edit Config that wasnt letting the domain variable be updated - Fixed missing EDIT button on user comments - Fixed missing albums from Admin's Manage Albums Files changed: adm-cinc.php - one line change pp-inc.php (new function check_user_dir) showphoto.php - (one line addition) uploadphoto.php image-inc.php (one line change) bulkupload.php adm-cfgedit.php (one line change) templates/bulkupload.tmpl templates/showphoto.tmpl (one line change - $cuserid to $cowner) templates/uploadphoto.tmpl forums/phpbb2.php (one line change) There are NO DATABASE CHANGES for this upgrade and no upgrade script is required; simply upload changed files. ============= PHOTOPOST 4.1 ============= 4.1 Information I am redoing the way we handle file uploads to accomidate our ever growing communities. File Uploads/Multiple file uploads gets a facelift! We're moving to a two-staged process for file uploads. The first Upload Photos page allows you to select one (or more) files to upload. When you click submit, you will be taken to the bulkupload interface which provides a thumbnail and input for each image you uploaded. TEMPLATES 4.1 will include the new template files for all the user pages. Forum Integration I've broken our the BB code into individual files (one include file for each BB). All code related to a BB integration has been moved into the respective file and removed from all the other files. This will make adding new boards much easier and also make following BB code much easier. Misc Stuff . Personal Albums inherit permissions and headers, footers, headtags from Members Galleries . fixed double headers with error messages . fixed some leftover hardcoded language items . removed a couple redundant settings from the admin panel (default upload size, admin override - both set in usergroup permissions). . Search in Members Gallery works same as rest of searches (versus searching just Members). . Improved scan db which refreshs page to prevent timeouts on large databases . new borders around thumbnails and images . Nuke support . VB3 BETA support . Improved random number in photo url to only add random number after an edit; not on every page . made image resizing "quality" an option in the admin options . added image borders and made them configurable in the admin options (size and color) . fixed email link which did not contain passwords . fixed recommend email to use "A friend" when user is not registered. . Enhanced security . When a comment is posted by an admin, and admins are exempt from upload approval, it will not appear in the to-be-approve list of comments.
