  1. Wht oh why is there a redirect to eurodns after install?

    After i install openphoto. No matter what i do, i get redirected to http://www.eurodns.com/?refid=df7c5d89749b06851398aeb058925959 , which tells me , someone is making some referrer money of of this. So what is the deal with that? How is it i can't get a decent install going without these kind of tricks? It never even gets to a setup screen!

    • Admin Page

      I installed OpenPhoto on our server and we are planning to give access to a bunch of photographers to show their work publicly. Some of their photos will be displayed on our main website.

      An admin area would be very useful for me to create new users, reset passwords, and select which photos will show up on our main website.

      • We were unable to initialize your account in MySql

        I have install openphoto on ubuntu 12.04.

        When I load openphoto for the first time and try to setup Mysql I get the following error:

        Please fix the following errors
        We were unable to initialize your account in MySql.
        Please verify that the host, username and password are correct and have proper permissions to create a database.
        Make sure your email address is not already in use.

        How do I solve this issue? Where do I find the logs?

        • Categories

          In addition to custom tags, photos must be put into predefined categories. With this feature, it can be possible to fetch all photos of all OpenPhoto users in a category.

          • Implement SPDY on trovebox.com.

            It would be great for trovebox.com to support SPDY to increase the speed of HTTPS connections on the site.

                  • Rename this UserVoice "TroveBox" and advertise it on the main website for user feedback

                    This page is great to figure out what the users want the most.

                    However, users can not find this page easily anymore.

                    It would be great to see this page renamed "trovebox.uservoice.com", and advertise it on the main website.

                    The github issue tracker could be an alternative (with the tag "wishlist"); however, it is less novice-friendly, it is difficult to find and it should probably mainly be used for bugs.

                    This would fit in the open philosophy of the project.

                      • Unguessable URLs for easy sharing

                        I don't want to make my photos public, but I definitely want to share specific photos or albums by sending a link in an email or in chat. This is a solved problem.

                        Picasaweb has a "link to this photo" or "link to this album" option on every applicable page. You can share the photo/album regardless of whether it is public or private by pasting the secure URL it generates. Here is an example URL:
                        https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/G9Ktu9seDO_ezM2zEgwKir4ZqS4wpk7sCROeUSelOAU?feat=directlink
                        They also have the option to reset the secret URL for albums.

                        Flickr also has this feature, they call it a "Guest Pass".

                        Google…

                        • Easier tag removal

                          Removing tags from a photo now requires you to remember the name of the tag and use batch-edit -> manage tags and write the tag manually. As a minimum, this should have autocomplete, or better all tags should be listed just as the albums are. It should also be possible to remove tags using the tags-list on the single-photo-view.

                          • Manuall add GPS data to uploaded photos tagging with a Zip code or dropping on a map

                            A function similar to GPS tagging in Picasa or Flickr. Being able to read existing text tags of Cities or States and adding to a map would be an improvement over these other services as well.

                            • Find photos without albums/tags

                              How can I find all photos that is not assigned to any albums (or tags)? IMHO these should be easily accessible on the albums/tags pages as this would be useful for organizing photos that I forgot to tag when I uploaded them.

                                What is the current limit of image size? I tested OpenPhoto a while ago, but because I use full frame cameras (EOS 5D Mk3 & M9), the RAW files I would like to backup were too large for Open Photo to handle (>30MB).

                                    I apparently have 226.61 GB on SmugMug. I want to know how this works out price-wise once it's been imported into Open Photos with Amazon S3? The answer to this question might be a good way of letting people understand the costs upfront (on the site before people join)...

                                      • How do I add photos to albums using the API ? I tried by adding 'albums':'2006' to my functioning Python script but no succes

                                        resp = client.post('/photo/upload.json',{'photo':base64encoded,'tags':'2006,Amanda','albums':'2006'})

                                        This should be the natural way in my opinion, but as one has to add albums separately I suspect there is a more complicated way to do it.

                                        If the album doesn't exist it should of course be added this simple way.

                                        • Organizing photos in albums

                                          Photos in albums should be organized by the the author and not automatically by date.
