History
Version 1.0
- The comments are back. Since the script reloads itself for every album, you might want to take out the comments in a copy to make the file smaller to have faster reloads.
- Interaction with the user using a form gives the option to change the title and description of every album, exclude albums, add a song from your song folder, change the title and caption of the song. However, the values how they are stored in Coppermine will be already filled in. So if you don't want to change, you can just keep on clickin'.
- The sound system is made easier. Now you make a folder named for example "songs" and in there you drop your mp3s. In the config you point the path to that folder and while running, a list shows all the songs in the folder. Just pick one to add to the album. Or choose No Song. We apologize that you have to change to this, but it is a lot faster in execution of the script. And that means better support for bigger albums. Besides, if you want a song for more than one album, you don't need to store a copy of the song.
- The Link function has been improved: now you can automatically add a link to the big sized image in your Coppermine albums. That was a request that we received from several users. The config gives you several options for this:
'0': no links.
'1': cpg links only. if no cpg link, picture shows no link. If cpg link target empty, take user default.
'2': big pics only. this shows all big size pics, even if cpg has links in some or all pics. Take user default target.
'3': cpg + big. shows all cpg links, and big pics for those without cpg links. If cpg link target empty, take user default.
And you can also set if the link should open in a new window or in the same window.
- It looks a lot better now
Version 0.9
- Until about 3000 images per album can now be processed without timing out
- a Next button was added due to the new functioning of the script: now album by album is processed to be able to work with big galleries
- this version cannot be used for streaming xml. We keep the last version that could for download here: http://webxs24.com/cpg2ssp/cpg2ssp_streaming.zip
Version 0.7
- The script now uses an optional login so strangers cannot change the images.xml by simply running cpg2ssp on your server. The user and pass are the same as in your Coppermine installation. By default, this option is set to off. You can open the script, set login_required = 1; (0 = off; 1 = on). In the demo, the log in feature is disabled.
- On big databases, the script can time out. We are working on that but first we put some numbers and timers for analysis.
Version 0.3
- The broken link to the download of the script is solved.
- Now multi user functionality of Coppermine is supported.
- There is a demo to check it all out.
Version 0.2
With the help of Sam Sherlock permalink functionality was added.
Version 0.1
The first version for beta testing supports all SSP attributes except the permalink feature.
Changes for next release
- Make the filepaths more flexible using a config file
- Make a form based graphical user interface for creating the config file
- Support multi server systems
- Look into whatever our users have to say :)
