album.pl V5.6 is now released!
Download it here:
http://perl.cdnarmy.ca/albumNew features in V5.6 are:
- Added ``localized configuration'' which means that if you place album.cfg in any album, the settings in that file will override the global settings. This is a very powerful feature, which allows:
- Each album to have a custom ``look & feel'' including style sheets, templates, icons, photos per page, colums, thumbnail properties and sort options
- Permitted file types (one album can be used to view only photos, another for documents, etc)
- Features such as ratings, slideshows, jhead or ImageMagic integration can be turned on or off on a per album basis
- Each album can point to it's own album_strings.txt file, allowing customization of all text
- Local administrators can now administer the photos in their specific album(s), regardless of who uploaded them
- Albums can be individually password protected, or use a different authentication mechanism (UBB for one, YaBB for another; or use multiple flat file databases, one for each album)
- And I'm sure there's more that I'm just not thinking of!
- Added concurrent_uploads config item, which allows you to set the number of files a user can upload at once.
- Added ``Move'' option to the admin menu. Photos and albums can now be moved around using the album.pl UI.
- Photos can now be uploaded directly into the ``root'' album.
- Improved code for finding album_strings.txt, which will reduce the ``album_strings.txt not found'' error.
- Moved much of the documentation out of album.pl itself, and into the FAQ section of the support forums.
- Descriptions are now removed when photos or albums are deleted.
- Movies now open up in a new browser window.
- Added ``Yes'' and ``No'' to album_strings.txt.
- Added checking for null function codes in the config screen.
- Fixed a bug with admin username determination.
- ``Create Album'' link on admin menu is now inactive when viewing most recent uploads.
- Fixed up a problem where owners were wiped out when descriptions were edited.
- Fixed a bug with always_pic_resize sometimes enlarging pics when it shouldn't, and vice versa.
- Fixed a bug where editing titles and descriptions in the root album threw an error.
- Improved debugging info by adding more debug statements and indenting output from some subroutines.
P.S Happy Canada Day!
