The image host is functionally done, code-wise.

SUMMARY:
-Albums can be created and images can be moved into and out of them.
-Viewing an album will display only the images assigned to it.
-For coding purposes, allowing more than 1 album per image won't be possible. It's a lot of database work that doesn't need to happen.
-User- and album-specific URL's exist. I need to run through the code for album-specific privacy. The entirety of a user's uploads (in albums and not) and private images are protected, though.
--- http://aserverwith.no-ip.org/img.php?user=Phauss, http://aserverwith.no-ip.org/img.php?us ... &album=all, and http://aserverwith.no-ip.org/img.php?us ... album=none will return a "prohibited" page.
--- http://aserverwith.no-ip.org/img.php?us ... album=GIFs will return the "GIFs" album page.
--- http://aserverwith.no-ip.org/img.php?us ... album=test and http://aserverwith.no-ip.org/img.php?album=test will both return a "doesn't exist" page (unless you made an album called "test".)
-Images that are individually private will not be shown to other users regardless of that user's privacy settings unless directly linked.
-If someone other than the uploader is viewing an image album, they will not be able to change individual image settings. The album navigation menu and the overall privacy toggle button are also hidden.

To do:
-Make an album viewable to those not logged in. (Should be easy.)
-Allow album editing (name, privacy.)
-Clean up how images are displayed. Purely aesthetic with no code change.

Well, I fucked up. The user data tied to each image, specifically the uploader usernames, have all been replaced with zeroes. 0's. z3r035. All of the other information is intact, but the username is critical for displaying stuff on the page and there's no easy way to fix it. The image files still exist, so image links won't be broken, but still. Fuck.

I'm going to wipe all data entries with a '0' uname (not the files though, so no broken links.) The vast majority of images were mine anyways, so I'll just deal with it. Album and user preference data was not affected and still exists.

I got bored last night/this morning and decided to fix an error notification in the upload script. What started as just changing one line of code quickly turned into finishing the image host layout. Now it's not only functional, but it doesn't inflict 15 seconds of blindness after looking at its ugliness. I know I'm probably going to be the only one who ends up using it, but I feel a lot better about cleaning it up. No more big, out of place buttons, everything's aligned, shortened file names are displayed, and a lot of code was streamlined behind the scenes. Anyways, here's what the image gallery looks like in case anyone wants to see it without the hassle of actually uploading anything.

And here's what the front page box looks like fully populated. The boxes will stretch to fill the recent upload area, so it might look a bit weird until you upload those first four images. I could change it, but I'd rather not deal with everyone's unique resolution and screen size.

I guess the last thing I'd like to do is have images open in lightboxes when you click on the thumbnails, similar to how resized images on the forums work.

I will be working on the forums for a little while. There are a lot of things that are out of date, and I've been keeping this version because of customizations I've made to the board. I have gotten enough experience at this point to feel comfortable rewriting code to fit updated forums. I will be working on the backup server before applying code to the main server due to the sensitivity of the forum databases.

Proper image resizing inside spoilers when?

Also, the space after spoilers is still there.

Yep, I plan on redoing some of the bbcode with the update, especially the youtube code. The old bbcode will still exist just so that I don't break older forum posts; it just won't be on the "write post" page.

It looks like the code has always worked as intended, but not in a way that's very intuitive, I guess. For example:

Here's how we've been doing spoiler boxes
Spoiler: show
with some spoiler text

and where we've been putting text after the spoiler.

Here's how that looks:

Code: Select all: Here's how we've been doing spoiler boxes [spoiler]with some spoiler text[/spoiler] and where we've been putting text after the spoiler.

How I've gotten rid of the gap:

Here's a spoiler box
Spoiler: show
and some spoiler text
with no gap above the next line of text.

I only had to put the next line after the spoiler in-line with the spoiler tag (or it's closing tag, if you're dealing with long spoilers.)

Code: Select all: Here's a spoiler box [spoiler]and some spoiler text[/spoiler]with no gap above the next line of text.

This is the same issue I have with the table tags. It is extremely tedious to work with tables in an in-line format rather than the nested format used when working with raw HTML. I'm beginning to believe that in-line formatting is a limitation of BB code and not necessarily the code it's supposed to represent. A demonstration below:

Youtube code has been updated. Everything works as it should (that means full screen, too.)

The code uses different tags and it's a lot more user friendly. Take the video URL and slap it between "yt" tags as it is with no modification, like so:

Code: Select all: [yt]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BB2ksm4hxfs[/yt]

Forum update complete. I'll work on redoing the image resizer tomorrow.
