4.5.4

Bug Fixes

  • Frontend upload should support .png files but returned an error. Fixed.
  • Fixed a pagelink album number where the script indicated an album number and we are looking to paginated thumbnails of a (grand)child album.

New Features

  • A new lightbox module has been implememted. Just set Table IX-A6 to wppa to enable it. No other plugin or library required. When applied to the full-size slide image (Table VI-8a set to lightbox) the entire slideshow will be browseable.
  • You can uncheck the User upload login switch (Table VII-B0) to enable anonymus uploads. Be carefull, read the Help (?) first!

Other Changes

  • Changed the default lightbox keyword to wppa

4.5.3

Bug Fixes

  • Changing fontsize for Numbar active elements will do it now.

4.5.2

Other Changes

  • You can specify font specs for Numbar Active element. A known restriction is that changing the fontsize does not work.

4.5.1

Bug Fixes

  • The photo of the day album selection finally works as designed.
  • Random topten photo of the day now works also!
  • The lightbox on a thumbnail widget will show the collection of the photos of the widget involved only, no longer of all the thumbnail widgets together.
  • Same for the topten widget.

New Features

  • The upload screen Box A now also displays a list of the selected files.
  • You can set the search mechanism to search for photos only (Table IX-C3).

Other changes

  • The 3 js files for the frontend are now combined into one: wppa.js. This reduces page load file accesses.
  • Improved check on filetype when uploading watermark file.
  • When Ajax is enabled and the browser supports history.pushState the stack is maintained also when the slideshow is the only non-widget running show.
  • Same for update of addthis linkurl and title. (despite bugs in addthis code).

4.5.0

Bug Fixes

  • When the delete checkbox was unchecked for import photos, the files were deleted anyway. This also generated a warning message during import on the attempt to remove a tempfile that was already removed.

New Features

  • You can link filmstrip images to lightbox containing the full range of photos in the slideshow, as opposed to the standard direct goto feature. Table VI-10.
  • Of all combinations of user roles and wppa+ menuitems the capability can be set to grant or deny. This fully implements the WP role/capability feature. If you changed the standard access configuration it may be required to visit Table VII-A and check/modify the configuration. Administrators will have all accessrights always.
  • There is a switch that enables the check on correctly closing the html tags when entering album and photo descriptions. (Table IX-A2).

Other Changes

  • Restructured and renumbered Settings tables. Please visit the settings page to get used to the improved lay-out.

  • Changed the example new photo description.
  • When the requested display size of any photo is not larger than the thumbnail image file, the thumnbnail image file will be used. If you have set Table I-C2 to anything different from the default --- same as fullsize --- you may wish to switch this off on Table I-C9. This will dramatically improve the page load performance.
  • If the display of comments, iptc and/or exif data is switched off, the code for these boxes is no longer generated. This will dramatically improve the server response time in case one or more of these features are switched off.

4.4.8

Bug Fixes

  • The thumbnail popup showed the name twice. Fixed.
  • When using ajax (Table IV-33) and lightbox on thumbnails (Table VI-2a), the thumbnail display required refreshment for lightbox to work properly. Fixed.

New Features

  • The photo specific links can now be set - on an individual basis - to be opened in a new tab.

Other Changes

  • The support of the non-autosave versions of the settings page and the album admin page has been discontinued.

4.4.4

  • The Filenames now comply with the wp coding standards.

  • Border radius in css3 format added (IE9)

  • After introduction of the link with print option, all other linktypes failed. Fixed.

3.1.6

New features

  • New link type added for thumbnails and topten thumbnails: the fullsize photo with a print button. This will open the fullsize photo in a new browser window and enables you to print the photo with the description below it.

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed an RSS bug in displaying thumbnails.

Other changes

  • Reverted the change made in version 3.1.3 for the algorithm to decide if the indicator must be printed. It turned out to create a bigger problem than it solved. (This change was made in 3.1.5 but not yet documented as such.

3.1.4

Bug Fixes

  • The static text in the photo comment form and alert boxes is now properly translatable.
  • The behaviour after input of incomplete comment has been corrected.

Other changes

  • Update text 3.1.3 Other changes to fix the first item issue.

3.1.3

Other changes

  • The algoritm to decide if the indicator [WPPA+ Photo display] must be printed has been improved. Only the first in a list of excerpts (archive or search results when the_excerpt() is used as opposed to the_content()) may be wrong. You can correct this by adding the following line of code just prior to the_excerpt(); in the template files involved: global $wppa; $wppa['is_excerpt'] = true;
  • Uses display name rather than login name in comments on photos.

3.1.2

3.1.0

New Features

  • A per photo based comment system has been added.
  • Big Browsing Buttons. When hovering near the left and right edges of the fullsize image when the slideshow is stopped, big left (previous) and right (next) browse buttons appear.

Enhancements

  • Admin pages load only when used, this results in less server memory usage and speed-up of all admin pages.
  • The name and description under the fullsize images is now combined in a wppa+ box. You can still set fonts individually, you can also switch them on/of individually. If you like the 'old' display method, this is still possible; see the explanation in /theme/wppa_theme.php.

Bug Fixes

  • You can manipulate and delete Albums and Photos now even when their id is greater then 2147483647.

3.0.7

Enhancements

  • The way the plugin is re-activated after an update has been changed due to the fact that wp does no longer run the activation hook after update. You should no longer get the messages that the 'database rev is not yet updated' and 'i fixed that for you'. Manual re-initialization still remains possible with the settings page table VIII item 3.
  • The horizontal alignment of the photo of the day widget content can be set to none, left, center or right on the photo of the day admin page. The text goes along; if you want the photo and the text align differently, set alignment to --- none --- and use css (classes wppa-widget-photo and wppa-widget-text).
  • Added script keyword: #last. %%photo=#last%% or %%mphoto=#last%% gives the last added photo. %%album, %%cover, %%slide=#last%% etc gives the last added album.
  • Better qTranslate support for the photo of the day admin page.

Bug fixes

  • In an archive, you will get a marker at the place of an wppa+ invocation rather than the display of javascript.

3.0.6

New features

  • You can now easily disable the display of all text except the album title from the albumcover. Table II item 17.
  • You can append &debug (?debug if it is the first argument) in the adress bar of the browser to switch debug mode on. An optional integer can be set to set the php error reporting switches. Default = 6143 (E_ALL). Example: &debug=-1 (switches everything on: wppa debug, php's E_ALL and E_STRICT). This feature can be anabled/disabled by the setting in Table IX item 5. If switched on, the WPPA+ system will produce diagnostic messages, together with the normal php errors and warnings. It works for both admin as well as site views. Links within the WPPA+ system include the debug switch (and optional value). The main wp admin menu items are beyond the scope of this feature. Press the menuitem, append &debug to the adressbar here.
  • You can optionally switch the filmstrip and/or the browsebar on in the slideshow widget.
  • Clicking the counter (Photo xx of yy, or xx / yy in the mini version) will start/stop the slideshow.
  • You can specify an album for the topten widget. Now it is usefull to have more than one topten widget by using different albums.
  • A start has been made with 'keywords' in places of numbers. You can issue the script command: %%photo=#potd%% to use the photo of the day in a page or post.

Enhancements

  • In a widget, the album cover text will appear above or below the cover photo. This can be set by the coverphoto left/right switch. Table IV item 13. This works also for "thumbnail as covers".
  • The Photo of the day widget photo will be centered horizontally, no padding setting is required anymore.
  • The filmstrip will be half the normal size in widgets.

3.0.5

Bug fixes

  • IMPORTANT Fix: All problems that are related to pre-rendering are fixed. The problems with themes like Thesis and plugins like the face-book-meta-tags-plugin that perform a pre-rendering of a post or excerpt are solved now. The restrictions on using the rating system (that did not work anyway) are no longer applicable.
  • Under some circumstances when using qTranslate, the proper language file was not loaded. Fixed.
