Version History

v2.01

General

Better routine for finding the correct server-path.
If it's still not possible, you can now tell autoconfig the server-path.
The Scripts force the server to give them the right to modify files created by themselves if the server doesn't do that automatically.
It's now possible to deactivate password-encryption.
The scripts now automatically select the correct radio-button where you select if you want to upload the file or if it's already up depending on where you enter something.
If the admin-pictures are not found on the server, a popup-window will help you finding the setting for specifying the correct path.

POTD-Script

A new, faster, smaller and more efficient routines for finding the next free day in the admin-script which also fixes a small bug where it didn't find the correct next free day.

DL-Script

File-uploading didn't work on very few servers (where it only created 0kb-files) - now it does.

New Template-Tag [!pic_count] for including how often a picture has already been displayed.

Option to link to the files in the Guest-Stats.
Upload-Function which also automatically adds the file.
Automatic creation of sample-links of how to track the added file.
Email-Notification if a requested file is missing in your Database.
Combined "URL+Editing" and "URL"-mode in the Admin-script + Faster loading-time.

Automatic creation of a link to the uploaded picture with additional information about the picture.
Gueststats, option to restrict them to TopXX shown pictures and with search-capabilities.
ShowCount- and ShowTotalCount-Scripts

COW-Script

v1.10

General

Several minor changes or corrections
New Auto-Update which can either update old config-files to the new version or build new config-files if this script wasn't installed before updating.
Now everything in the main-part of the standard-templates is centered if the width of the content is bigger than the 392 pixels of the normal table-width.
Better File-Locking now works with most NT-Servers.

Admin-Script

Added Support for the SP-Script
Now the nav-bar only displays links to the config-pages of the scripts you really have installed.
Auto-Config does now adapt more variables to your server (mainly for the DL- Script).
You can now define the font-types used by the public Schlabo's Scripts-pages.
Renamed "dl_edit.gif" to "entry_edit.gif" because the DL-Script is no longer only script using this image.

POTD-Script

Ability to credit a site (with/without URL) instead of a person with/without email.
Added a link to the full picture on the Edit Entry-Page.

DL-Script

Added Option to write the counts for aliases to text-files, which can then be included into your pages using SSI. Especially at High-Traffic-Servers and heavy use of the dl_showdc.pl-script, this significantly reduces the server- load.
Option to automatically replace "_" with " " in the aliases If you specify the alias when linking to a file using the DL-Script, the browsers automatically replace " "-chars with "%20", and of course the script didn't find the alias then. Now it works like that: If your alias is: "My Scripts" and you want to link to that using the DL-Script, you can now use this URL: "http://www.yoursite.com/cgi-bin/schlabo/dl.pl?My_Scripts". The script will recognize that you used an Alias and will replace the "_" with " ", and it will find it in the database.
When viewing the logs every second line of the table now has a brighter background-color to make it easier to read it (like it has always been in the COW-Admin-Script).
New option in the DL-Configuration: Deny viewing the Guest-Stats or restrict access so that only the Top x can be shown (with deactivated Search-Function).
Adding &top=x (where x is the number of how many entries should be displayed) to the URL of the Guest-Logs will only display the Top-X downloads. Only works when the Guest Stats Status in the DL-Configuration is set to 0.
