[Plugin] Event Cats, to easily share private categories

[extension by LucMorizur] Event Cats

The two main purposes of this extension are:

_ when you attend an event where you "are THE photographer", and you want to easily share the pictures -- which you don't want in a public category --, by providing a unique link (no account neither password);

_ when you create your gallery, and want to ease registration of many people on your gallery.


The two features brought by this extension are:
_ automatic log in of an account (preferably generic) thanks to a single URL;
_ account duplication, by "copying" logged account properties.

Demonstration: [Forum, post 109308 by LucMorizur in topic 15088] Preparation of plugin Event Cats (Event categories) (Auto Id).


Full description (extension help page): http://lucmorizur.free.fr/piwigo/index. … nal_page/7 .


It is higly recommanded to use also extensions [extension by plg] PWG Stuffs and mainly [extension by P@t] Additional Pages.


LOOK OUT: automatic identification used by Event Cats is very poor about security! A URL can be very easily copied, transmitted, during its different travels among several servers... Do use this feature smartly: don't let an automatic identification link active for a too long time; limit the private content one can see thanks to this link...

Have a nice gallery ;-) !

Re: [Plugin] Event Cats, to easily share private categories

I have to say this plugin is fantastic!

in fact it's an automatic login system, ideally fitted for a non technician family :-)

Suffice simply to create an account, I did for my sister an a relative, with login and paswd and give them a group (guess what, I choosed "family" :-)

Then you send them a mail with the link and voilà! they can connect without any trouble.

at worst if you see any illegal activity, it's enough to remove the link.

congratulation!

Re: [Plugin] Event Cats, to easily share private categories

Ok

First notice: the first thing to do is to choose a category, so shouldn't this choice be on top of the page?
Second notice: when removing a code, the user created by the plugin is not removed

I use this plugin only from today, so I may have missed some important aspect

Ah, at last !

(It's a private joke, as we say in french ;-) ...)

First notice: the first thing to do is to choose a category, so shouldn't this choice be on top of the page?

Choosing a page to display is the first thing to do when you create a user automatically -- and thus, also when it is the full entry that you create automatically. If you fill in the username by yourself, you're not required to choose the displayed page first. You can then decide 1) the code, 2) the username, eventually with the group name, 3) the page to display.

In the entries list, and in the main philosophy of the extension, the main thing is a code associated to a user. The displayed page is required, but is not the most important information from the software point of view.

But I know that the software point of view is a... let's say,  special point of view :-/ ... you're not the first one to issue this notice ; it is clearly a point that would need improvement, but indeed I don't know how for the moment. I can't imagine the "displayed page" fieldset being the first one.

Second notice: when removing a code, the user created by the plugin is not removed

Indeed. Why not, it should not be too complicated.

Many thanks for your remarks :-) !

Maybe I forgot this explanation in the big help file (the popup window). Though, the help banner says : "(It is too complicated, too heavy to provide here a list of all images, thus you must write down the image identifier ("Image id"), if you want to use this field.)".

You can find the image id in the URL when you navigate on this image : for instance, the image id of the image having piwigo/picture.php?/10/category/1 as URL in Piwigo, is 10.

I should improve the help part for this feature.

Oh yes! I didn't search for the image id *before* the category id :-(

Re: [Plugin] Event Cats, to easily share private categories

oh well... and this image is not the only one to be accessible, all the category is (image is just default).

It would be good to be able to show only one image without creating a category by itself (or doing this automagically :-)

thanks anyway

Re: [Plugin] Event Cats, to easily share private categories

Hi ;

I just tested Event Cats with version 2.1, it is unfortunately not immediately compatible :-( ...

But it should not be too much complicated to correct ; I should post a compatible version quite soon.

Cheers !

Re: [Plugin] Event Cats, to easily share private categories

The version 1.2.2 is Piwigo 2.1 compliant.

I must say I've not tested really as much as I should have done... but normally it should be OK.

Sorry for being late :-/ ...

Re: [Plugin] Event Cats, to easily share private categories

Version 1.2.4 fixes [Bugtracker] ticket 2135 and adds Latvian, many thanks to cljosse, ddtddt and Aivars Baldone.

See you soon for new features, as there are some ideas to be implemented ;-)
