Pre-Sale Questions

[inept]

I'm sure I'm going to buy a license for this script as it looks great but i have a few questions first and i have had a good look around the forum and I'm asking some questions that have been asked before but i did not really find the answer i needed.

1. file-manager, i understand that you are in the middle of making a file manager to handle the images but at the moment is there anyway for an admin to see the images that have been uploaded other than downloading the /images file and looking at them that way?
also at the moment is there any way of telling what views/bandwidth an image is getting/using or limiting the amount of bandwidth an image can use per week/month
also what is the ETA of admin panel? is it expected to be out in weeks or months?

2. I really want to force the user to choose between SFW and NSFW when they are uploading the images and place different ads depending on what they choose with the ad code being in central location so i can change the ad code easily when needed and it would effect every image page in the category. Is this possible without using a database and how hard would this be to implement?

1. The official filemanager will be released on 2.1 and at this point, there is no official filemanager. You can use alternatives, any PHP directory file manager will work. The thing is that the Chevereto filemanager will be optimized for image content. Regarding the bandwidth, that will be a feature that will come after 3.0

2. Since currently the script doesn't use dB, we can't context images. So nope, I haven't think about it yet.

Thanks for quick reply.

a couple more things. If i get the script could you help me make a couple of edits.

1. removing the HTML image and BBCode links from "Show directly this image" bit so it would look like this

http://demo.chevereto.com/images/GA3u.png

2. when uploading multiple images to change the drop down box by removing the HTML image, BBCode links and Direct image links and having the bbcode and html thumbnail links and image viewer links only. like this.

3. changing the bbcode so that instead linking to the direct image like this

[url=http://demo.chevereto.com/images/3NBd4.jpg][img]http://demo.chevereto.com/images/thumbs/3NBd4.jpg[/img][/url]

it would link to the viewer page like this.

[url=http://demo.chevereto.com/?v=3NBd4.jpg][img]http://demo.chevereto.com/images/thumbs/3NBd4.jpg[/img][/url]

and lastly my old site also runs on CF image host and i know that you have explained how to use mod rewrite in another post but i would just like to confirm that there is a tutorial and it is possible for the old links to be used so

http://mysite.com/pm-OTDS.html - directs to the Viewer page
http://mysite.com/dt-OTDS.jpg - directs to the Thumb URL
http://mysite.com/dm-OTDS.jpg - directs to the Direct image link

so that the old bbcode that is running on forums will still work.

I know its asking alot but you will be helping me out so much. im sick of working with CF image host

Part of those can be done just editing the theme file.
The other ones can be a new feature for next release and others can be a custom mod.

As a user who also moved from CF Image Host to Chevereto, I can confirm that Rodolfo is very efficient at making it work. Thousands of images on my site used the same format as yours.

CF image host would not be so bad if it was not abandoned by the creators i only have 4k+ images on my site atm and i cannot access the admin panel at all. it crashes my site every time i do using up all the memory.

but chevereto has a lot of the features that i wanted and the fact that i know someone is working on it and updating it and i have support means i do not mind paying the $30.

I have worked out how to do 1 and 3 myself but I'm struggling a bit with 2

i cannot find the code to edit for this

can anyone tell me where about the code is for it?

EDIT

also with the mod_rewrite i have this

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^api$ api.php [L]
RewriteRule ^di-(.*)?$ images/$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^pm-(.*)?$ ?v=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^dt-(.*)?$ images/thumbs/$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^dm-(.*)?$ images/$1 [L]

everything works but this (it was a guess)
RewriteRule ^pm-(.*)?$ ?v=$1 [L]
pm- links are .html so would be something like this.
mysite.com/pm-3AYM.html
and i want to direct that to
mysite.com/?v=3AYM.jpg

can anyone tell me what im doing wrong

EDIT 2

i think i worked it out

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^api$ api.php [L]
RewriteRule ^di-(.*)?$ images/$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^pm-(.*)\.html?$ http://mysite.com/chevereto/?v=$1.jpg [L]
RewriteRule ^dt-(.*)?$ images/thumbs/$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^dm-(.*)?$ images/$1 [L]

seems to work for me. let me know if you can see anything wrong with it

but i still need to know where the code for this is to i can edit it abit

thanks

CF code is not a good scrip. The code and the functions are like a pile of random things just to make it look with more features. I don't mind in the reasons of the dude/people of CF but the thing is that the code is rubbish, pretty old and mostly bad. Is like the NB, a thing that no one should use.

Actually Code Future seems pretty like inspired by Chevereto NB. I have noticed the name of the forums, their descriptions, etc and is like a copy paste from the old Chevereto's NB forums.

btw, do you see a little inspiration here? http://www.codefuture.co.uk/image/cfih1.4/sun_rays.png

By the way, please ask for support in the clients forums.
