Hey @ronzoni702,
Thanks for the kind words! No need for a donation, but the thought is much appreciated. Give it to Ciprian as he is running with the code at this point ??

Thanks @djsteveb!

@ciprian, I’m glad to see the continued interest for PhotoSmash. You’re making a lot of people’s day! I have no idea what the state of the art in security is for WordPress today. PhotoSmash was fairly conservative from a security standpoint at the time I had to let it go, but that has probably changed (maybe drastically) by now and would want a good review to make sure any leaks are plugged.

Cheers to all!

Hi Ciprian,

I honestly can’t believe folks are still using PhotoSmash! I keep hoping that someone will develop something similar, but haven’t seen anything yet.

I’ve added ‘butterflymedia’ as a committer. I did that through the Admin page. Hopefully that does what you need.

Cheers,
Byron

Hi All,
I would be happy to turn Photosmash over to the community. The code is complete in the WordPress plugin directory. It is GPL, so anyone is free to take it and do with it as you would like.

If there is some reason to keep it live under its current directory, I would be fine turning it over, but don’t know how.

Excellent! Glad you got it working.

Hi LeTh,

Thanks! I do appreciate the encouragement! This has been a lot of fun. I wanted to try some iPhone apps next, but there just isn’t enough time to do everything ??

Ah…forgot to reactivate Gravity Forms after upgrading WP. Was getting a memory error during the upgrade. Try now.

Hi,

I’m not getting that error myself. Did you add any new plugins recently?

BB

Sorry, I don’t understand the question.

Hi Tomas,

Glad you figured it out!

Hi Amy,

It sounds like you’ve got the images set for the thumbnails to open to the Attachment page. You could set them to open to the full sized Image instead and then have that pop up in Lightbox or Shadowbox or Thickbox, etc.

If you wanted it to continue to open in the Attachment page, but not have comments on the attachment page, you would probably have to edit your Theme’s attachment.php file.

Look for something like:

<?php comments_template('', true); ?>

and put a ‘\\’ before ‘comments_template’.

If your theme doesn’t have an attachment.php file, then it would use the single.php file to display the attachments. In that case, you would need to change that line to something like:

<?php
if( !is_attachment() ){
comments_template('', true);
}
?>

Be sure to make back up copies of your files before changing them. It’s quite easy to mess things up, so it’s always good to have a clean point you can get back to where you know everything works.

Cheers,
Byron

Hi Alexis,

Glad you lie PhotoSmash. Unfortunately, PhotoSmash adds the image to the bottom of the Gallery. It would take some rewriting of the code to change that.

Hi Tomasrg,

Take a look in your index.php file and see if wp_head() shows up more than once.

If that’s not the problem, then you might go through your plugins, turning them off one-by-one to see if one of them might be loading them improperly. The correct way to load .js and .css is via the wp_enquque_script() and wp_enquque_style() functions, which PhotoSmash uses. Some plugins, however hardcode the .js files, which doesn’t get picked up by those 2 functions and therefore get duplicated.

If you’d like, either post a link or send me a message with a link and I’ll take a look at the page and see if I can see anything that might be causing the issue.

Cheers,
Byron

That’s a good idea for the next iteration of PS…to at least capture who moderated an image.

PhotoSmash uses the standard WordPress upload functionality, so if you are able to upload your images in the WordPress Write Post page, it should work in PhotoSmash. So, you could test that image there.

The other thing we’ve see is sometimes not all of the files make it over in the installation, or for some reason a database table doesn’t get created. Both of those are rare occurrences, but possible issues.

As to why it’s so confusing, I’m sure the bozo who wrote this intentionally made it confusing. If you’re looking for a one-size fits all, easy one, try WP-Dump.
