Author: Mighty Gorgon
MOD Description: OTF Gallery is a really simple gallery system which allows admins to quickly upload and create Gallery Pages without using the DB for storing informations. Thumbnails are automatically generated.

  • phpBB 3.0

Language: English

Licence: GNU General Public License v2

Screenshots: [url]http://www.icyphoenix.com/_bb3/otf_gallery.php[url]

Installation Level: Easy
Installation Time: 5 Minutes
Format: MODX
Download File: http://www.icyphoenix.com/dload.php?action=license&license_id=1&file_id=51

REQUIREMENTS
  • phpBB 3
  • FTP access to the server
  • CHMOD 777 to cache folder for storing thumbnails
  • GD Libraries 2.x.x or above (it may works even with GD1 but it is not fully tested)


HOW TO INSTALL IT
  • Check the requirements... if you fit in it, then download the package
  • Unzip the package and upload all files contained in the root folder to your phpBB 3 root folder
  • CHMOD 0777 files/album/cache/
  • Upload one or more folders with images into files/album/otf/ folder
  • Load otf_gallery.php into your browser
  • Choose your gallery from the dropdown and click on GO


FAQ
  • What is this mod for?
    This mod is a quick gallery system to be feeded by admins. It has been created to show images thumbnail in a gallery style by simply uploading folders with images. Since this system doesn't rely on DB, then no special features are available such as rating, commenting, and anything else which should be DB related. It is just an easy way to show images in an automated way. No need to create extra HTML pages with your images.
  • Is this a full gallery system?
    No it isn't, and no extra special features will be added. It is meant just to give quick gallery pages. If you are looking for a full gallery system this MOD is not for you.
  • Does this system use DB to store information in?
    No OTF Gallery relies only on physical files, so gallery are created when uploading folders via FTP and are deleted when folders are delted.
  • Does this gallery have a thumbnails system?
    Yes, this gallery has a thumbnails system based on GD libraries, so you will need GD to be able to use this feature. Thumbnails are stored in a cache folders so to be quickly accessible.
  • Is this tool configurable?
    Only few options are available and must be directly edited into includes/fap/otf_config.php.
  • Can normal users upload pictures into OTF Gallery?
    Since OTF Gallery is based on physical files, only those who have FTP access to the main OTF folder may upload pictures in it. As already said, this is only a quick gallery system... to have a full gallery system with upload and other features you should use another system.
  • Is it difficult to be installed?
    No phpBB 3 core files editing are required. If your server support GD libraries and those are installed properly, you will need just to upload all the files and use it.

Since I would like this mod to remain a simple one, I won't add many features into it, hopefully only an HTTP upload form in the future may be added as well as pictures deletion capability. I'm in the process of coding a more complex gallery system with extra features, but it is another mod and it is still in the coding phase.

I'll repeat again:
If you are looking for a full gallery system this MOD is not for you.

Feedbacks and comments are really welcome. Please use this topic for bugs reporting as well.

Sorry, I thought that standard phpBB MOD template was enough... :banghead:

I didn't read rules carefully, it's my fault.

I should have now fixed the first post.

Hmm...interesting idea. I'm confused as to what happens...so someone with FTP uploads a file in a gallery upload section, then it edits the gallery file, and creates a link...? I'm sorry, I'm kinda stupid ;)

You could get a UCP module that lets your users upload to /images/gallery/userpics/ or something like that. :grin:

I have another version with users upload capability, but I don't have the time to create the ModX instructions to add the button while posting... :blackeye:

With this feature users are able to post images to be used in posts as thumbnails (just like PostImage or similar service).

I have it running within my phpBB 2 based site and it is really useful for those (like me) who do not have limited space... because users may post their images on my webspace and do not insert outside links.

I guess it is related to htaccess. I had some problems in make htaccess do not inherit parent folders htaccess instructions but with no success so far. I ended up creating another file showing the pic, so there is no need to remove htaccess. In the meantime you should remove htaccess in files folder and otf as well... or you can move otf outside files folder and change configuration in config file.

As soon as I'll find the time to pack everything in a decent way, I'll upgrade the release.

Thank you all for your feedback so far.
