phTagr

I am proud to release version 2.1. The new version comes with lots of features, improvements and bug fixes. It looks better, is more sexy and it rocks!

New since v2.0:

• User comments with email notifications
• Geo Tagging (via Google Maps)
• HTML upload with extracting zip archives
• Build in slideshow via PicLens light
• RSS, mediaRSS, RSS for comments
• Technical image info like shutter speed, aperture, ISO, camera model
• Anonymous user registration
• Improved Homepage with recent media and comments
• New database schema with splitted media and files (see merged-branch-phtagr-media-schema)
• Quick Search (thanks to martin)
• Authenticated links for users and guests
• Improved file browser
• Tabbed input
• New FilterManager to handle different media like images, videos and GPS logs
• New Pagination component with exclusions
• Static Logger
• Updated Flowplayer to 3.1.4
• Media view count
• Much much more and of course lots of bug fixes

Also:

• First Plugin DupFinder is available to find and merge duplicate media
• Since version 2.0 we have also a documentation and ticket system at http://trac.phtagr.org

It is recommended to upgrade to version 2.1 since you don’t want to miss the new features! Please upgrade your database schema with the provided shell script upgradeMediaSchema.

In the last couple of months, phTagr was completely rewritten from scratch using the great framework cakePHP. The new version called phTagr 2.0 is much better and faster! phTagr 2.0 supports so far the basic functionality like image uploading via WebDAV, multiple tagging, group based access control, guest account creation.

Short (and maybe incomplete) installation procedure is (on Ubuntu 8.04):

Install required tools (apart from apache2 with rewrite module, php, and mysql):

$ sudo apt-get install ffmpeg flvtool2 imagemagick exif php-pear
$ sudo pear update-channels
$ sudo pear install HTTP_WebDAV_Server-1.0.0RC4

Download the code

$ cd /var/www
$ sudo svn co https://svn.cakephp.org/repo/branches/1.2.x.x cake
$ sudo chown -R `whoami` cake
$ cd cake
$ svn co https://svn.phtagr.org/phtagr/trunk phtagr
$ cd phtagr
$ sudo chown -R www-data tmp users

Now open http://localhost/cake/phtagr/setup in your browser and follow the installation procedure.
