Thanks joomlaworks,
it a really nice Plugin you made!
I just paid the bill and downloaded SIGPro 1.2.1 yesterday. After 1h i translated the code to Joomla 1.5 and it worked nearly flawless. Just Caching didnt worked. But this was a general PHP Programming Bug (no Joomla issue), which i have fixed now. I can't imagine, that no one else reported this bug until now, so there may be a newer version? If so, could someone please send me the newest version?

I would like to extend the Source Code a bit (ex. not just one Caching Directory, i prefer 1 Caching Directory per Image Directory, etc.) but if there's a new Version, i would like to do my modifications on the new Version of course.

All Infos are Welcome!

Thnx,
Ken

Alo alo, Ken!

Can you made your version available to all other users (us)?

Thank you!

Oops, i saw the fix for the caching bug. I fixed my version the exact same way.

Anyway, i modified the following in the Pro Version:

fix 1: Made it Joomla 1.5 Ready
fix 2: sigmd5 - sigcount fix implemented (separate galleries in blog mode)
fix 3: Templates modified for 1-n pictures in preview
fix 4: howmanythumbs fixed (ex. {gallery}test:::3{/gallery} shows 3 pictures now
fix 5: word limitation fixed: Words with Umlaute (äöü) now showing correclty
fix 6: caching fixed

@NajboljiXYZ: I would like to post, but i purchased the pro Version, and i think it's not the best thing to spread my "copyrighted" Version around. The only one who knows who purchased a license is Fotis (i think), so maybe i could send him my version, then he sends it to all licensed users who are interested into. My version probably fills the gap until the official 1.3 version comes out.

And keep in mind, if you (all) will get this version, i dont give support! You should know what you are doing, or dont do it at all ;)

we we will be launching this Friday the official j1.5 native version of SIG

This is good news - awaiting for a 1.5-running Version!  :P

I just bought the 1.2 version believing it is for joomla 1.5. I hope the update will be released on friday and that it will be a free update as I couldn't use the previous version at all.

It will be provided for free to all customers.  ;)

Great! Thanx!

Ken, of course. I'm also registered user of SIG Pro. As i see it will be released in few days, so my previous post is now pointless :)

Bye bye!

It's good to know we've got active users.

I'd just like to note to everyone that SIG Pro is commercial work and that means ken_jones cannot distribute it, as he would break our product terms and conditions.

Like indicated on our main site, I'd like everyone to know that we we will be launching this Friday the official j1.5 native version of SIG Pro, along with some minor fixes.  ;)

I will be waiting for J1.5 version of SIG Pro, i am working on a project now which needs galleries and so :P

I'll be waiting  :-*

News of the J1.5 version comming this Friday is very welcome :)

Just out of curiosity, will this be an updated v1.2 or will it be the v1.3 that everyone is talking about?

So, today is friday.... you promised!  8)

Has the official announcement been made to existing customers?

It's been 12 hours since your last post but I haven't recieved an emails telling me how I can get my hands on the new version.

What is the 'automated download system'?

The email address I used when buying the product is: paul a.t. australiandigitalphotography.com

Thanks
Paul

So when will we be able to download the joomla! 1.5 wersion?

I don't understand it. I've bought a 1.2 last friday in hope to get next day an  1.5 update. But this version is avaliable only for new customers.

I cann't even log in to download this.


updated: sorry, waiting for 14 February! :D
peace! 8)

greetings,

do i understand correctly?  ....the working version of SIG Pro for Joomla 1.5 will be released on 14 Feb.

is this why the version i've just purchased still only displays the mark-up?
{gallery}myfolder{/gallery}

despite my best efforts to de-bug & implement on my 1.5.1 stable [seenu] site,
i've not been able to get SIG to work on my web host server.

thanx, for any clarification.
even though i tho't i've just purchased a working SIG pro .zip for Joomla 1.5,
i guess i can wait for another two days for a better RC of the script.

Gosh, I am very confused now, I also bought a copy on Tues 12 Feb of what I thought was the version for Joomla 1.5.  I haven't even been able to install it, and getting no response from the forum for help?  What gives, I know that I only paid a token amount for the commercial version, but hey, it was still a money transaction.  ???
Where do I go from here, do I wait and see what happens on Friday with the supposed real version and see if I can install that??? Or do I just put it down to a loss and move on??

I don't know how the final version of sigPro for J1.5 will look like. But i've found some performance issues which (i think) should be fixed too. So please (jw devs) check the following tipps. I've already implemented them on my 1.5 version and it works a lot faster if you have a lot of pictures. Some Hosting providers are using SAN which may be very flexible in adding disc space but has incredibly slow file access. So i tried to minimize file access (fix2+3).

Don't be confused, the lines i show here are already migrated to J1.5!!

Fix 1: md5 for Labels and Thumbs are getting calculated 3-5 times per picture. You could store the md5 result in vars and use them later:
Fix 2: If you use labels, the script will calculate image dimensions for ALL pictures in gallery, even if you just show 1 picture of the gallery. So i added the following ifin
Fix 3: Caching can be improved. The following line changes the behaviour of caching to: Thumbnail-Cache > 0 means normal caching of x hours. Thumbnail-Cache = 0 means just create Thumbnail if it doesn't exist, else take Thumbnail and never check filetime.
Change:to
You could optimize even more by using a table, but this would crack the design of sig too much.

Gtx,
Ken

Greetings,

any updates available as to status of sigPro plugin for J1.5?

tho't the latest version was to be released today, Feb. 14--is there a new schedule?

previously, very happy with JoomlaWorks extensions, very cutting edge & easy to implement--
in fact the sigPro plug-in for J1.0.x works great on my 1.0.14 site--installs & works "out of the box"
--no resetting permissions or hard coding patches; it just works, unlike the version for J1.5
and now with the delays in the release--i'm becoming kinda frustrated.

we know that there is difficulty in rewriting the extensions for J1.5, but why release them
(especially the paid Pro version) until they are stable & work with the latest 1.5.1 stable release?

some clarification, please--i think we are mostly all willing to wait for the J1.5 plug-in--
but please some updates & communication would help!

thanx again for your great contributions to the Joomla community.

regards,
