new features: Various New Features

[emily]

We have added several new features. Here they are:

We added a description field to passkeys. You can now enter a message to be displayed when people are prompted for a password.

When editing a gallery, you can now view the gallery contents sorted by sequence number, title, number of hits, or file size. Something tells me that many of you will enjoy being able to sort by hits.

When doing a batch update, you can now add new keywords to the existing keyword list in addition to completely overwriting it.

We also added an "advanced" view to the edit gallery page. Advanced settings include:
- enable / disable voting on a gallery
- enable / disable linked subgalleries (at the top of each subgallery page is a list of links to all other subgalleries) <a href="http://www.pbase.com/help/linked_subgalleries">more info</a>
- choose whether or not to display image technical information, such as camera body, lens, exif, etc.
- gallery-level commenting controls
- gallery-level copyright statement
- gallery-level locked gallery image

Enjoy!

Linked sub-galleries is a great feature. Very much appreciated.

[slug]

linked subgalleries is probably the most interesting of these changes.

it was actually implemented a couple of years ago, but we hadn't added the controls to activate it.

just now i noticed the HTML for it was ancient, so just updated it so that you can control the appearance a little more with a stylesheet.

now in the default stylesheet, you'll see

Code: Select all

#linkedsubgalleries {
        text-align: center;
}
#linkedsubgalleries .current {
        font-weight: bold;
}
#linkedsubgalleries .other{
        font-style: italic;
}



you can override those classes in your own stylesheet as desired.

Good news!. Hi to both and thanks for it.
A small question:
How does the vote disable work? (I just couldn´t realize hot did you do it) and how does it will affect the vote count?

Maybe an example would help:
Let´s say I have ten votes (therefore I´m in the all time popular) and I decided to test the new feature (disabling votes for a reason):
- will the accumulate votes be lost?

Hopefully I was clear enough.
Thanks to both and Cheers
Matias, Chile

A small suggestion for linked subgallery.. when you display the list of the subgalleries at the top, could you also include a small text like "Subgalleries - "

So, the top of http://www.pbase.com/stylesheets/tarheel which now reads:

webdev | karen1109 | timmyg | athiker95 | alexc | tarheel | wedding | black_standard | white_standard | joshua

will read

Subgalleries - webdev | karen1109 | timmyg | athiker95 | alexc | tarheel | wedding | black_standard | white_standard | joshua

When editing a gallery, you can now view the gallery contents sorted by sequence number, title, number of hits, or file size. Something tells me that many of you will enjoy being able to sort by hits.

Nice changes, but the option says renumbering will occur. In that
case if we look at the images sorted by hits, the images will
actually be renumbered? I didn't try as I want to keep the order
I have now.

Thanks for a reallly effective site.

of the image editing page to avoid unnecessary scroll-downs
when doing many at one time)

We have added several new features.

I can't create new galleries in both of my accounts, I get:

insert into gallery failed

Anything to do with the new changes?

When you disable voting on a gallery:
- All existing votes remain.
- Voting links are removed from the gallery and images.
- If the gallery or any of its images are currently in the popular galleries, they will no longer show up there.

If you want to permanently reorder your gallery contents sorted by hits, etc, you need to use the sequencing view on the edit gallery page.
If you just want to view the contents in sorted order without reordering them, use the full edit view on the edit gallery page. Scroll down to the list of contents and click the linked table header for whatever you want to sort by:
Sequence = sort by sequence number, increasing (this is the default)
Title = sort by title, increasing
Hits = sort by hits, decreasing
Original = sort by the size of the original image file, decreasing
So, you can safely play with these sorting options without actually altering the order of your gallery contents.

Thanks Emily

The ordering view on Edit Gallery works like a charm

You are right Emily, some of us will have a great time with this
At least those that are board at work will have what to do from 9 to 5

Excellent - Really appreciate this feature.
It adresses the complaints I get from some of my (non-PBase) friends who feel that navigating around the galleries and in PBase in general is a bit cumbersome.

[victorengel]

I apologize if this is not the best place to put this. Please let me know where the appropriate place is.

I'm having trouble uploading zip files. The zip file uploads fine, and the correct filenames seem to unzip from the file, but the pictures never appear. This feature has worked for me in the past, so I suspect something has broken.

This is GREAT! Thanks!

I may post a new note but will ask here:

I just tried LinkingSubgalleries from my Root page and liked
it EXCEPT that when =logged out and refreshed the pages=,
I could see, as someone else w/no admin rights, all the Private Subgalleries and all of their pictures.

Is that intentional? I've set them back to unlinked until
I hear further. Thanks!
