Development Progress

It seems we have everything working by now.
Just a few things to note:


BUGS

edit log doesn't save the information (Vivi please take a look at it) - VIVI

• i have added some privilege validation to it.
• i tried reverting it to the original it still wont save the information.
• now it saves the information but not the category id and HIDDEN checkbox
  

if a photo thumbnail filename contains "%20", the photo won't show correctly in Observations.

• workaround is to remove "%20" from the filename before uploading the photo.
• can't be bothered to fix :P

new users have NO usertype

• in user manager it shows "Registered", but in the database the usertype is blank
  
• this happens to stephenpham.com as well
• not sure the cause of this, may be all JOOMLAs are like that?
  
• user will get the usertype "Registered" if they update their profile
• can be ignored since it shouldn't affect user's operation
• please test to confirm that it doesn't affect user's operation
  

TO-DO
email template for photos - KEVIN/CHINH PHAM

• include information like uploaded by who and a link to that photo
• can be hard because requires editing coppermine's core files
• Chinh Pham can you list out the files that might be relevant?
  

email template for logs - KEVIN/JOHN

• should be consistent, look similar to the template for photos
• easy to edit, inside recordlog in chronoforms
• should wait until the template for photos is finished
• finished formatting, still need to add username
  

client-side-validation, error feedback for registration - KEVIN(will try)(may be assistance)

• very important, cannot be left out
• its already there, but not working due to the current template
  
• hard to implement/fix
• completed, but still need to add successful feedback, and error feedback for login (eg. wrong password)
  

remove all buttons for admin in the gallery (and may be add useful ones to admin control panel) - KEVIN(to remove)/JOHN(to add)

hide username in photo details if user_field4 (hidden) = "YES" - KEVIN/CHINH PHAM

• the current situation is that it is hidden no matter what, there's no way to know who actually uploaded the photo except going into the database. that's not good
• completed
  

testing and documentation - ANDREW

• edit this post if you found any bugs or any improvements can be done
  

IMPROVEMENTS THAT CAN BE DONE (IF TIME ALLOWS)
add a dropdown box of category in search - VIVI

• the first and default selected option should be "All", then retrieve the rest of the list from the album table

include the search field (or button) in viewsearch at the top - VIVI


fix the problem of having to log in 2 times to go to user manager from admin control panel - VIVI

• change the user manger's button type to SUBMIT and submit the username/password to the administrator login page?
  

remove the little box on top left corner in the gallery - HAI MINH/CHINH PHAM

• not sure which file to edit to remove it
  

gallery background colour - HAI MINH

• similar to the website's background color
  

a better "Sightings" front page - HAI MINH

• like this
  

Everyone please feel free to add/edit points that you have in mind.
I will try to keep this post at the top at all times.
