Album Comments Notification
-----------------------------------
Hi Tormie,

Just a suggestion. It there any way of notifying the new comments in the Album about a pic you have posted. Or having all the new comments show up in the posts-since-last-visit link.

Not an essential tool, but might make it easier to see what is happening in the Album.

Hi Ozy, I think that the album is not well done for the pourposes of this forum, I'm not the author of this piece of software, is an add-on for the phpBB forums made by smartor (http://smartor.is-root.com). Searching for already-made galleries on the net I found only a commercial solution, but is exactly like the smartor album (and it costs 149$, the smartor's album is free). As you know i succeded in making some modification, but I'm not a coder (I'm a bus driver  :bigrinnin: ). Anyway I've to steal the "notify by email" feature from the posting mechanism and apply it to the album, but I'm an hobbyst also as a coder  :oops: . I wrote this only to say that if someone, an expert coder for example, would help, he/she is welcome, I use a test board on lycos for experiments.

We can even leave the album and create a forum as a gallery (a poll ?)

Or... Wait a little time  :whistle:

No problem Boss,

I'm happy to leave it the way it is for now. I think you've done a brilliant job so far for a bus driver  :clown:

I could probably figure it out if you want me to have a look at it.
(It might take awhile)


I am familiar with Fortran, C++, Pascal and Visual Basic.
Here is a program I wrote last year. It appeared in Sky & Telescope magazine in August 2002.

I also made a similar version for planet Mars.

This is a Royal Astronomical Society of Canada site :

Thank you

[color=#6400ff] :bigrinnin: Thank you Den, I'm glad to hear your words, I created an ftp account to the site for you (I send you name&password with PM), you can find the "album" mod for phbb board at http://smartor.is-root.com in the downloads page, but I made little changes, take a look when you've enough time... (Dont' worry... I backed up the whole stuff...).

A temporary solution: One can post his/her picture in the album, then right click it, select "properties" and copy the url, then post a normal message and use the [b][i]IMG[/i][/b] BBcode feature to link to the image (paste the URL, select the text you pasted and click on the [b]IMG[/b] button over here), then write the text, or simply post the image as an attachment (See "Poetry" in "Posette's Playground" for a little example).

Bye[/color]

Sounds like you have the situation under control there Mr. Site Owner ! :D 
(To get to this point with the site requires a fair bit of accumulated knowledge, my friend)

I'll have a look and see if  I can do something.  There might be an easier way to do it, or the way you have done it may be the only way.
