It's alright... I'll post screenies when I get things going and people can tell me how they would like to see it look
I'm user friendly

Lost my internet-connection for a while, that's why i couldn't post screenshots... but finally.... here they are

Here you can see the acp hack... when you add a new forum you have to choose in which gallery (--> "forum category") the new forum will be displayed...

Now we are in the music gallery... has the same look as the forum, that's because it is created by the forum.php (actually it's the index.php but i had to rename it because i added a portal)

Here we have the viewtopic.php, where we have an overview of all tracks uploaded..... not very interesting as it works, looks, feels and smells like in the forum...

That's how it looks like when you enter a thread... the first post will contain a flash-mp3-player... did not have the time do programm one yet... will probably take some time ^^.... if the user choosed to make his file downloadable, a link will be displayed... replies are handled like there are in the forum...

So let's have a look at the interesting part of the gallery.... the upload-section.... but before we can enter the upload-area, we will have to confirm... well... something ... hate writing those texts

Now that we have confirmed, we now have the rights to upload a mp3.... one has to enter the file, the artist and title.... one may add some "feature-artists" and make the song downloadable for other users.... all theese informations will be written in the ID3-Tag....

http://www.kingsizebeatz.com/download/ksb_viewtopic_vote.jpg
Other Users can vote the songs on a scale from 1 to 10.... i implemented a "top 5" feature on the portal.... i will probably add a "chart-system" or something.... we'll see ...


so that's it.... during the next days i will add a ajax-upload-progress-bar, client-side-validation of the upload-script and some other tiny details.....

[Handyman]

Hmm... ok... Thanks for the screenies, you were correct.
Mine will be much different.

[ewelin]

Just curious.... Do you plan on offering an upgrade script from Smartors photo album or even better... from MG's Full Album Pack?

[Handyman]

Actually, I've never even heard of those.
Are those the phpBB2 versions?

[ewelin]

Yup... Full Album Pack was based off of smartors photo album but it was hugely improved... both ran on BB2.

[Handyman]

Unfortunately, I'm not going to have time to make an upgrade script.
If somebody does make an upgrade script, I will test it, make sure it works and package it with this.
