Title: Update: Image Galleries!
Post by: matt on February 25, 2014, 05:43:05 pm
Say what!?

That's right. After much deliberation we have decided to add image galleries to the list of VGCollect features.

Screen:

Example:
http://vgcollect.com/gallery/scott

During this testing phase we are limiting users to 20 image uploads at 2 meg max size per image. The galleries are active and available now for all Pro users to test out.

To visit your gallery just browse over to http://vgcollect.com/gallery/insertusernamehere.

On another note - I'll be on vacation starting this Saturday, March 1st until the following Sunday. During that time I will actually be without internet...

...

I'm not totally sure how I'll cope but I'll obviously not be able to reply to requests/comments/complaints/etc. Feel free to keep em coming though as the other VGC staff dudes will be ready and willing to help.

That being said, I wouldn't expect these new galleries to open to non-Pro users until the week of March 9th. Feel free to post your thoughts or bug reports here and hopefully I can address them all before I take off.

Thanks!
Matt

Did you log out and back in? You'll have to in order to update your Pro status.

When you go here:

http://vgcollect.com/gallery/soera

do you see an upload button?

Nope.

... Are you actually logged into the site?

Serious question, I didn't have a button because the site logged me off.

The forum and the site use two different login sessions. You can be logged into the forum without being logged into the site.

Sometimes I'm posting stuff here, then I go to the main collection page, and I have to log in. So it's a serious question, not making fun or anything.

The log out button should log you out of both and when you login - use the form on the homepage.

It works for me.

Maybe you need to try another browser, or type you own name instead of clicking on the link.

My browser is Firefox. I have tried typing it out.

Nifty! This'll be pretty fun to look through everyone's stuff when it's all worked out and final. Will it be a pro-only feature, or is that just for the testing cycle?

Not to throw this thread off course (cause I need my own issue with it resolved) but your text under your avatar reminds me of Christopher Lambert. :) He is like my favorite actor.

Testing is only for Pro. It'll be open to everyone.

Apologies in advance...I couldn't resist ==>

Yep I'll be adding it to the main header area as well as FINALLY adding links to the left of these forum posts.

This issue is fixed for soera but it did lead me to find a bug throughout the entire system. The system compare username on some pages to determine whether or not you are on your page or another user. It compares your login username versus the username in the URL. In this case the login name was Soera which did not equal the username in the url...soera. The uppercase S was throwing it off. I'll be looking through the system later tonight to patch up any other affected areas.

That was not my intention, but I'm glad it's amusing all the same! It's actually the Codemaster's slogan. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_E1eFVKc2NA)
