Changelog 7.3.x

 

The following is a copy of the changelog.txt file.


7.3.12 may 03 2020

  • The cursor on album cover images where cover type is imagefactory(-mcr) and the link is lightbox, does not change from wait to magnifier when the initialisation of lightbox is complete. Fixed.
  • Changes to the cover image selection method: Added 'according to photo sequence' to the album cover image selection on the album admin and on the settings page; Added '--- default --- See Table IV-D2' to the cover image selection box on the album admin page. These changes make it simpler to change the selection method for all -default- albums at once, provided that the settings on the album admin pages are set to the default, previously being random.
  • The album and parent attributes in the wppa shortcodes with type="acount" and type="pcount" can now also be an album enumeration.
  • Added class wppa-thumbarea-albdesc for album description on thmbnail area.
  • If there is no posterfile for a pdf, there will now be a dummy image as thumbnail, derived from ../uploads/wppa/documentstub.png.
  • When the status of a photo is private, it will no longer show up in the topten widget for users not being logged in. In this case one should not cache the widget.
  • If Table IX-D19 and IX-D20 are both unticked, there will now also be no check for utf-8 encoding on filenames during upload/import.

7.3.11 apr 17 2020

  • New thumnail types:
    1. Masonry style plus. See Table IV-C3. Make sure your thumbnail size equals the thumnail framesize (Table I-C1 and Table I-C3). This type is like masonry style vertical, but is fully mobile friendly.
    2. Masonry style mix. Uses Masonry style vert on pc and plus on mobile. Best of two worlds.
  • Some minor fixes.
  • New setting: Table VII-B1.0: Max nesting level. Limits the ability to create subalbums at the frontend to the indicated level.

7.3.10 apr 02 2020

  • The behaviour of lazy load on filmstrips has been improved.
  • Fixed a typo resulting in an error in a cron process.
  • New setting: Table IX-D21: Default photo status. Can be set to 'publish' (default), 'pending', 'featured' or 'private'. Note that this setting does not overrule the settings in Table VII-B7.0: Upload moderation and Table VII-B7.1: FE Upload private.

7.3.09 mar 26 2020

  • Fixed a possible layout issue in the album navigator when caching was on for this widget.
  • New setting Table IX-A18: Add locale. Always add locale to links. You may need this setting if you use a multilanguage plugin not being qTranslate.
  • The linkpages for the tagcloud and multitag widgets/boxes have been extended with --- the same page ---. Usefull when using multilanguage plugins not being qTranslate and intented for the box. The behaviour for a widget depends of the specific page layout and is therefor unpredictable.
  • Various cosmetic changes.
  • When remake add is ticked (Table IX-H6) a duplicate photo item for a videao was created when the button 'Remake all' was ticked on the album admin page. Fixed.
  • Reverted mod from 7.3.03: 'Fixed duplicate ids in search code for certain themes.' because it caused layout issues.
  • The subdir 'dynamic' is now also created at plugin activation.
  • Added option 'basic' to the Membership selectionbox in Table VII-A. This effectively limits the capabilities of users. A 'basic' member can not create/delete (sub)albums, upload, delete possibly existing own photos, enter comments and rate photos. Setting this for an administrator or a superuser has no effect.

7.3.08 feb 11 2020

  • New feature: Setting Table IX-A17: Translate. Translate names, descriptions and other text using qTranslate rules without a language plugin.
  • Geo did not work when encrypted links was enabled. Fixed.
  • Labels of custom fields are now translated on the album/photo admin screen.
  • Breadcrumbs are now fully translated.
  • Tagcloud and Multitag is now alphabetically even with translatable items.
  • You can now cache widgets and wppa boxes on a multilingual site.
  • Changed htmlentities() into htmlspecialchars() in many places to prevent accented characters to be displayed wrong: e.g. öäü instead of öäü.

7.3.07 feb 05 2020

  • Scheduling of individual images did not work. Fixed.
  • Premium indicator was also displayed in a photo description when the description contained any keyword but no user name was required. Fixed.
  • New setting: Table IX-D15.2: Copy Custom. When ticked, will copy the contents of the custom datafields on copying photo.
  • Improved behaviour of lazy load. Sometimes at the end of scrolling a few images were not shown until the next scroll or resize event. This has been fixed.
  • Removed hardcoded background color of comments. You can set a bg color as custom css:
    .wppa-comment-bquote {
    background-color: <valid css color> !important;
    }
  • When a wppa container was shifted out of the viewport, it was set to hidden. This has been removed to improve user experience.

7.3.06 feb 20 2020

  • Table VI-C8: Album navigator Link has been moved to Table VI-A3.1 and the options are extended.
  • To Table VI-C11: Album cover subalbums link, added option "Subalbum title link". This also supports the otpion "the link page with a clean url" when set on the album admin page.

  • Shortcode arg delay="yes" did not work. Now it does work and it has more options. It is still under development; not all shortcode types/albums will work. There are four forms e.g.: delay="yes", delay="Yes,nnn" where nnn is delaytime in millisec, delay="button,Buttontext" and delay="text,Linktext" to produce a button or a textlink.
  • Frontend upload videos failed due to missing function. Fixed.
  • The animation for 360 panoramas was much slower on mobile devices than on pc. Fixed.

      The widgets have an extra option on the activation screen to enable caching of the widget content.
