Before I buy this...questions....
« on: April 17, 2015, 02:30:26 pm »
I'm debating this software, but I have questions, and am not sure how to search down the answers, so forgive me if they're redundant or have been answered a thousand time.

1) Am I going to have to reinstall this every time SMF updates the files that are affected?

I understand the purchase "includes a year of updates". After that year, if SMF is updated, do I need to purchase another year to keep this installed and updated?

2) Does the image resize feature keep the image aspect ratio?  Or at least display them in a proper aspect?  My forum members aren't very computer saavy for the most part, so they tend to upload HUGE pictures -which are then made wonky by the automatic resizing.

3) Is there a way to allow voting on a gallery, instead of an individual picture?  My forum holds a yearly sewing contest, and I want to be able to allow the contestants to upload all the images of their creations into an individual gallery, then allow the other members to vote on the collection of their choice (the voting will be for the collection, not an individual image or creation).

4) Can I prevent someone voting for their own image or gallery?

5) Other than watermarking, are there other ways to prevent member's images from being added to Pinterest or showing up on Google images without their permission?

6.... I'm sure I had another question, but now I don't remember what it was....

Thanks in advance for any help you can give me. :)

1. Any time you do a large upgrade. Such as going from SMF 1.1.x to SMF 2.0.x will require a reinstall.  The year of updates gives you access to SMF Gallery Pro downloads for that entire year. After that there is small renewal to get access to the downloads/newest updates.

2. Yes it attempts to keep the aspect ratio the same.

3. At this time we do not have voting based on category/collection only on individual photos.

4. Yes that is built in by default.

5. User galleries can have galleries private member invite only, or password protected.
Main categories can be controlled with permissions such as guests can't view galleries. Or can't view image details.


Hope that helps.
