g4 :: Gallery Update :: July 2018

Postby Leshana » Sun Jul 15, 2018 4:16 pm

Good News Everyone!

We have just published a new release containing a few fixes and enhancements for the gallery software.

Enhancement: The Tag Blacklist now applies to the Messages page too
If you have any tags blacklisted, items with that tag would show up with the blacklist overlay on the Latest Updates page, but not the Message page. Now it works on both.

New Feature: Gallery owners can configure Tagging Permission on their uploaded items
Previously gallery owners could control who was allowed to post comments on their pictures, stories etc, but any registered user could propose a new tag; if enough other users upvoted the proposal the tag would be added (or removed).
This has been quite successful, allowing many items to get tagged without the original owner having to do all the work. However even with the upvote requirement sometimes inappropriate tags have gotten through.

Now gallery owners can set the Tagging Permission on an item-by-item basis, it works just like Comment Permission.
- You can do this when uploading a new item, or on the Edit Item screen for existing items.

- You can change the setting on every item in your gallery at once using the Settings page.

Note: If you turn restrict tagging permission to only yourself, you are expected to add reasonable tags.

Fix: Special Characters in Fav Category Names
Using certain special characters in the name of a Favorite Category would make that category unviewable on the favorites page, thus it was difficult for users to even see which items were in it. This has been solved.
Also fixed: The favorite dropdown menu on the item view page now correctly shows which category the item is favorited in when the category name has special characters.
Note: Category names are not allowed to have a forward slash "/" character. Attempts to use it will be replaced with a space.

How do we blacklist a tag?

(Also good taste in favourites :-D )

EDIT: Duh, just found it. "Settings" in the top right once on the gallery, if anyone else is wondering

A number of these features have been requested for a very long time. A great many people should be quite pleased with this update to the gallery. Thank you, Techfox for all your hard work.

This is great and all, but would it be a technical stretch to apply it to the favorites pages as well?

Is there a way to add boolean operators for tags? For example, Female AND NOT cock ?

Great job.
^,=,^
This is yet another upgrade that FA needs.

Now to wait for people to properly tag their uploads for the blacklist to work as intended.

Tags are really not meant to obfuscate things like that.
If you want to tag a female without a dick, you just tag female.
If you want to tag a "female" with a dick, you tag herm and you don't tag female.
If you want to see females but don't want to see dicks, you watch the female tag and blacklist the dick/herm tag.

While on the topic of tags, is it possible to add a feature where we filter between art and writing while tag browsing? I feel like sometimes some writings go unnoticed due to them having a thumbnail rather than scrolling text.

might be a bug, but all posts that were retroactive of about the 4th july 2011 are by default set to untaggable, so untagged works cannot be tagged, and new tags cannot be added to stuff that had been tagged, irrespective of who had posted the art/writtings.

i like to go delving in the untagged section on a semi regular basis and get some untagged stuff tagged, so the fact you canot tag old stuff means there are over 250 pages of items that will never get sorted, and older stuff that is tagged can no longer be added to

examples can be found here.

https://aryion.com/g4/view/193687

https://aryion.com/g4/view/186108

https://aryion.com/g4/view/204267



it seems some stuff is fine, but all works past a certain date about 7 years ago are by default set to untaggable. the reason i suspect this is a bug, is because i am able to tag stories/art if they are younger then the cut off point from the same artists, so it means the gallery owner is not restricting tagging intentionally as they would just make it all items and not items that are older then a certain time.

This only works if people tag correctly. I still see people tagging futa/herm stuff as f/f
