vphotoalb

This release contains new documentation for the administrator, a translation to French, improvements to make it easier to translate to other languages, better handling of the photo type preference, and should work with "register globals = off" in php.ini. "best position" now works when creating/updating the table of contents.

This is the first release of what will eventually become version 2. It has no more frames, uses stylesheets, has support for multiple languages, the administration interface is integrated with main album, more configuration is possible through the web interface, there are no more restrictions on directory names, you can track people who appear in the photos, can add arbitrary set of keywords to each photo, can search based on keyword, person, or photo type, you have more control over users and cookies (can set user restrictions), and there are more statistics on photo album usage. This version requires PHP4 and PostgreSQL 7.

There is a new page to make database table setup/update easier. Categories are now easier to set when adding toc entries. A 'Next Photo' link was added to the photo page. Blank captions can be edited by admin. Several bugfixes, and more documentation were added.

Visitors can now customize the table of contents, password security can now be handled by the photo album (and bypassed with a valid cookie), offline mode (static snapshot mode) now works, and a bug affecting some browsers has been fixed.

A port to MySQL, much better checking of get/post parameters, and other source-level improvements.
