V1.5.0 (16 Apr. 2012)
Important notices:
- The database structure has to be updated for this version. To do this call the page
update/update.php. Afterwards theupdatedirectory should be deleted.
Upgrades:
- It is now possible to allow users an image download. For each gallery and for each user
it can be independently set whether downloads from these galleries and for these users
are allowed. Furthermore downloads can be globally activated or deactivated. As default
no downloads are allowed. Downloads of images will only be possible if they are allowed
globally, for the user and for the gallery. Without further settings the images from
the
largedirectory are used as source for downloads. These are the images which are displayed at the browser. But it is also possible to define a special download directory, for example if the images should be provided in a higher resolution for download. More about that can be found at the documentation, chapter galleries. - The look of the whole application can now easily be changed by using themes. One theme is
specified for the frontend and one for the backend at the settings page. Own themes
can be added very easily. In conjunction with this the CSS files and the required
graphics are renamed and moved to the new directory
themes. - The display time at the slideshow can now be changed at the settings.
- A Lightroom import file can now be downloaded for each user at the user administration page. The image selection is done by defining certain filter criteria (stars, color marks). Afterwards the created file can be imported into Lightroom as smart collection.
- Galleries can now be marked as public. These public galleries are then chooseable at the login page and every visitor can view them without login. Public galleries have to be activated at the settings page first.
- Gallery view: Each user can now change his own password.
Changes:
- Gallery view: Now the maximum number of thumbnails at one page will be specified in
the configuration file with the new parameter
THUMBNAILS_MAXinstead of specifying the maximum number of rows and columns. But it is also still possible to use the parametersPIC_COLUMNSandPIC_ROWS. IfTHUMBNAILS_MAXis used the old values will be unnecessary and can be deleted. - Gallery view: The buttons for switching on/off the information at the thumbnails have been moved to a new menu.
- The info and help page will now be directly shown after login only after the first login. After further logins the gallery page will be shown immediately.
Bugfixes:

- Administration: A CSV file with the user results can now be downloader at the user administration. This is the same file like the one which can be attached to the result mail. The format of these CSV files can be adjusted at the settings page.
- Galleries and users are administered separately now. This makes it easier to assign one gallery to several users. Furthermore it is now possible to assign more than one gallery to one user. In this case the user can choose the galleries which should be displayed right at the moment. Likewise the user can choose the galleries whose result data should be sent to the photographer.
- Compare view added. It is used to compare several selected images. This selection can then be reduced step-by-step by removing images.

largeandsmalldirectories can now be replaced by other names in the configuration fileconfig.php. More about that can be found in the documentation in the chapter customization. - The thumbnail size can now be defined in the configuration file
config.php. This however affects only newly added images. Already existing thumbnails are not changed in their size. If the size is changed, the layout has to be changed at the CSS file too. More about that can be found in the documentation in the chapter customization. - It is now possible to send invitations for galleries. For this a link will be sent to specified email addresses which is used by the receivers to register a user account.
