Official To Do List

(1/1)

Mike Bobbitt:
Please check here before you post a suggestion, and if your idea doesn't make it on the list, don't take it personally. It's pretty bloody long already! :)

Items are categorized as follows:
[*]Bugs - Generally highest priority.
[*]Likely to happen soon - Probably in the next point release.
[*]Likely to happen, but not soon - I want to do these (or they're easy) and they'll probably be in the next major release.
[*]Not likely to happen any time soon - Ideas that are hard to implement or of limited appeal. They may happen if I get particularly ambitious or inspired.[/list]

BUGS!
[*]Allow "s in config items (they currently break the input tag...)
[*]Image shrouding - parent album thumb is broken with that crazy ../ hack.
[*]Random and search functions allow "private" photos to be displayed.
[*]Popular screen shows photos with views/ratings that have been deleted.
[*]Movies don't work for image shrouding (album_web=)
[*]When stripping HTML out of ####TITLE#### for HTML (browser) title, it removes anything else from the HTML title tags as well. (Such as a site identifier - "MySite.com - ####TITLE####.)
[*]Thumbnail extensions may not match case if the static HTML is built on an Windows machine (which doesn't care about case) and then moved to a UNIX machine (which does)[/list]
Likely to happen soon :D
[*]Add switch: are guests the default state for users, or not? (May have to add "default_users" config item).
[*]Allow users to dynamically select a sorting option.[/list]
Likely to happen, but not soon :-\
[*]Allow admins to view "views.txt" as a nicely formatted page in an album (album stats?)
[*]Add photo/album copy command
[*]Use checkboxes to move/delete multiple objects at once
[*]Allow users to leave comments without voting (for uploaders to respond to comments, for example...)
[*]Scale down the photo shown when moving, deleting, etc, since it can be pretty big.
[*]Allow comments to be added in "reverse" (see this post)
[*]Have config sceen use separate style elements, for readability.
[*]Allow any thumbnail found in albums (I.E. even those without "parent" photos) to be selected as the album thumbnail.
[*]Allow admins to edit user comments (ratings.txt).
[*]E-mail admin(s) when new photos are uploaded, to allow them to be reviewed. If this is done, then the notify could be set to work too!
[*]Handle landscape and portrait photo resizes differently. Maybe through the use of a "landscape" checkbox on the upload screen. (see post)
[*]Add a * mark for photos that have ratings. (like those that have descriptions.)
[*]Queue up new photos so they're not visible to users(maybe prefix them with something?). Admins see them and can click an "accept" button to make them visible to all users.
[*]Improved searching (and, or and not keywords, for exapmle)
[*]Add drop list for template, image and album_strings.txt selections, if feasible.
[*]Allow users to select language based on the same drop list.
[*]For per_member_uploads, scan for sub-dirs in the user's album and let them upload into any of those.
[*]New sort options: by title and by order in descriptions.txt
[*]view xx number of recent uploads.
[*]a little drop down menu to select the 5/10/25.. most recent uploads.
[*][edit] [delete] [link] available to admin in "recent uploads" (use same subroutine to display objects)
[*]recent uploads in the same format as the rest of the album instead of a vertical display
[*]Add a "new" flag by anything that would be displayed under the recent uploads screen
[*]Prevent searches from finding photos in hidden (or protected) albums.
[*]Add an option to show descriptions for SSI thumbnails. Better yet, allow SSI templates...
[*]Allow thumbnails to be stored in their own sub-directory (I.E. thumbs, under each album).
[/color][/list]
Not likely to happen any time soon :(
[*]Allow the recent uploads screen to pick out new uploads by mod date.
[*]Adjust recent uploads to show only single most recent upload per user (so a user cannot "clog" the recent uploads section by uploading 10 photos)
[*]Wrap slideshows back to first photo on completion
[*]If a "thmb_high_[photoname]" file is found, add a link to display it as "full size". Useful for photos that are very large, and usually smaller versions are viewed.
[*]Add JS to sense current screen size and show image in best dimensions (maybe using best of small/med/large settings)
[*]Add a "default owner" for new photos added via FTP.
[*]Add a registration function for auth_db installs
[*]Add simple encryption (I.E. UNIX crypt) for flatfile authentication.
[*]Add JS to allow multiple file/directory select for upload.
[*]On edit screen: allow admins to rotate pics through ImageMagic. Better yet, allow admins to define 3-4 custom IM commands through the config and have them show up as viewing options.
[*]Allow users to remove themselves (somehow) from the e-mail notify list
[*]Make the link to "View your album" on the screen once you submit a new config honour username/password/debug, etc...
[*]New function: recursive scan of album, and create thumbnails for any photos that don't already have them (will static=1 already do this?)
[*]Put Configuration management and Config submitted screens into standard template
[*]Add javascript to play sounds (like a camera shutter) on certain actions. Also, if photoname.wav/mp3 exists for photoname.jpg, then play it when the image is displayed and have a button to re-play the sound.
[*]Update the album.log file whenever a file gets deleted or moved to another album
[*]Add photo/movie size (optional)
[*]Config option: require users to log in before rating
[*]Prohibit people from rating a photo twice, or from rating their own photo
[*]Force the ratings to use the person's login name if they are logged in. (Kill anonymous ratings though...)
[*]Add Pause/Resume Slideshow buttons (like Stop Slideshow)
[*]Add to admin menu: rename a photo (file rename)
[*]Add to album admin menu: re-index an album (create static HTML for just that album)
[*]Add ``Rename Config Item'' to the web config screen (so upgrades are easier...)
[*]Add ``favourites'' which becomes a virtual album. Any photo marked as a favourite is listed there. (Use favourites.txt to track the photos added to the favourites album. Remove those that are not found...)
[*]Add ``most popular'' or 10% most popular by pictures according to # of views and/or rating. Maybe even add a ``most popular'' album that contains pics from anywhere.
[*]Show sub albums (indented) in jump station.
[*]Add pagination for search results.
[*]The subalbumcount does not include subsubalbums. Should it?
[*]Add a FAQ link with details
[*]Make ``uploaded by'' line dynamic, read UBB name at display time
[*]When rating a random photo, automatically go to another random photo.
[*]Honour UBB IP bans
[*]Have ``E-Mail Notify'' list automatically send out update mail
[*]Show register link on login screen when using authentication_type gt 1
[*]Add email address when uploading. (Linked to the UBB username that is displayed)
[*]Display UBB $username (with email link) under the thumbnail file name. (After you click on a specific album.)
[*]Use the UBB template header/footer information for the photo album
[*]Use YaBB member groups to allow/disallow viewing and admin functions
[*]Static: Fix icons and legend (turn from relative HTTP link to relative file reference)
[*]Static: Copy .css and images (if used) to root of album, and reference them there
[*]Static: .css is referenced using full path, which doesn't make code mobile, but if you make it a relative link, each album will have a different value
[*]Static: Figure out how to avoid a timeout for large photo albums (you can run it from the command line for now)
