Support/Comments for Easy 2 Gallery 1.4.0-RC1

My needs are even simpler than that, since there is no form; just clicking on the button triggers the AJAX to increment the vote count for that item. I just need to compare the IP, if it’s in the array then check the time it was put there, if it is less than X amount of time, don’t do anything at all; if it’s not in the array or the time it’s been there is greater than X amount of time, increment the vote count and add it to the ban list or update its timestamp. I’ll have fresh voting every month or something like that, so IPs will need to be cleared at the end of every month/voting period. Just some simple queries and a few if conditionals, but it’s too hot right now to try to focus that much

So... which sweater should I make my partner this fall? http://www.sottwell.com/petshop/en/gallery.html

Here’s the article, with code http://sottwell.com/e2g-plugin.html

if i click 47 times what happens?

My partner will probably end up getting that sweater

That’s why I’ve mentioned using the visitor’s IP address to limit voting; I just haven’t gotten around to implementing that part yet.

my best suggestion is that you would like to try to create a custom gallery’s template, and use form in it.


Then you could start create radio options for the voting in the thumbnail’s template, since it would only allow you to choose one option.

Another thing,
I think you should put $ip = $_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"]; in the plugin, too, which where will filter whether the visitor has make a vote or not, and react as so.

Another more thing,
There is a $_SESSION[’e2g_instances’] variable (which is generated by easy2’s plugin, not the snippet) that’s identified in the template as [+easy2:sid+].
This variable will apply a different ID to each of snippet calls, starts from 1 (one), and will be reset to 0 (zero) on the ’OnWebPageComplete’ event.
I don’t have any idea how to implement this inside your code, but it might be useful if you want to call snippet+yourPlugin more than once on one page.

I use easy2gallery-1.4.0-rc1-r246.
I have in my gallery (http://www.clubyoko.hu/galeria.html) more 9.000 pictures and sometimes it is relly slow.
PHP: 7-24s generated.
I tryed cached call: [[easy2]] but it isn’t work.
Only the main page show. I can’t enter in the sub gallerys.

I need help!
Thanks everything.

Sorry my bad english.

what is your snippet call?

edit:
it looks like you’re using the BIG images as 1600x1200 pixels.
try to lower them down, at least as wide as your website’s design.

Hy!

My snippet call: [!easy2? &img_src=original!]
but the older gallery has got lower images.
The 3 newest gallerys have got big images.

Sorry for my bad english.

All the newest 3 galleries (2010.08.07-club-yoko, 2010.08.06-lvg-retro, 2010.07.31) use 1600x1200 pixels.

Do you really need the images that big?

You are using 5x4 grid.
That means that the snippet will retrieve 20 pictures with 1600x1200 pixel for completing the web page.
It becomes a natural internet connection issue, not the Easy 2 Gallery issue, if you put 20 picture x 841 KB = 16,820 MB (woowww... it IS big!), on one page.

I know that’s why you use &img_src=`original` to avoid double space.
So what you need is to resize all the images again to a smaller size, and also perhaps reduce the grid size, may be 5x3 grid.

One trick of the massive resizing,
I use XnView (for WindowsXP) for this kind of job.
And it’s free!

Thanks, I resize the pictures when I have free time, But:
Why so slow the gallery system and why can’t I cached it?

On the other pages the latest gallery (bottom of the page) can I cache it. I use custom template chunk,
but if I use custom chunk on the gallery page (clubyoko.hu/galeria.html) remain slow.

Sorry for my bad english.
