## Important announcement (2014-Feb-25)



  See CONTRIBUTING for details.



## Name



  `icy_picture_modify` -- Piwigo plugin that allows user to modify pictures



## Description



  A piwigo extension that allows users to edit any set of images.

  This extension just works as the `picture_modify.php` for administrator.



  The code of this plugin is based on the original source

  `picture_modify.php` of the Piwigo distribution (version 2.2.3.)



  Advanced ACL is supported since the version 1.2.0.



## Features



  Normal users in Piwigo system can delete image or modify image's metadata

  _(author, date, tags, description, date, linking/represented categories.)_

  They can upload some images to some categories.



  Advanced ACL allows users to work with any set of images / categories.

  The newest verion of plugin allows you to work with groups in Piwigo,

  and allows user to update new version of the image _(inspired from the

  plugin `photo update`.)_



  This plugin can work on Piwigo 2.2.x, 2.3.x, 2.4.x and 2.5.x.



  Since version 2.4.4, the plugin can save user's action into log file.

  By default, the log file is `_data/icy_action.log`. This file can't

  be changed.



## Installation



  * Install and enable this plugin

  * Install and enable the plugin `community` if you want some users

    to upload images to your gallery

    * If the plugin `community` is installed but it isn't activated,

      most functions of the plugin `icy_picture_modify` is still available

      but user won't be able to upload images to gallery

    * You *don't need* to configure any thing in the plugin `community`

      that's because all settings for `community` will be overwritten by

      `icy_picture_modify`. However, the UI of that plugin is still

      available in case you want to moderate some pending photos.

  * If you have installed the plugin `photo_update` you can disable and/or

    uninstall that plugin because a similar function is supported in

    this plugin `icy_picture_modify`.



## Usage



  * Create and edit ACL file in `local/config/icy_acl.zml` in your Piwigo

    installation.

    * Examples can be found in `doc/*.sample*`

    * The syntax is described in the document `doc/zaml.md`. Please make

      sure that you read some important notes in this document.

    * You don't have to modify any settings for the plugin `community`

      Moverover, any settings of the plugin `community` will be ignored.

  * If you are using a development version of the plugin, please clean up

    the obsolete files (See `OBSOLETE FILES` below.)



## Known problems



  * No international support for Piwigo 2.5.x (See CHANGELOG for details)

  * No webUI for ACL editting

  * If an image is replaced by a new version (using plugin `Photo update`)

    the new version is owned by administrator, not the current user.

    Hence the image may not be editable anymore. You should not use that

    plugin to update image. You can use the setting `replace_image_of`

    in this plugin's configuration instead.

  * This plugin doesn't support all known templates. If you are using

    `stripped` or `stripped-galleria`, you may follow the instructions

    in this forum post

        http://piwigo.org/forum/viewtopic.php?pid=132380#p132380

  * User can delete an image which is associated to some albums to which

    the user doesn't have permission to write/access. This is true as the

    plugin only checks owner of the image

  * Images uploaded via Digikam Plugin will be in *pending* mode

  * When user creates new sub-album, their list of visible albums may

    be expanded and contain all albums on the Piwigo system. This is a

    problem with session data, and will be fixed immediately after the

    page is reloaded.



## Security issues



  * All versions from 2.1.0 to 2.4.0 have a security issue that may

    break your ACL settings, and that allows any user in Piwigo system

    to edit any images in the system. This problem is fixed in the version

    2.4.1. Please upgrade to this version or apply the patch file

    `/patches/IPM-SA-2013-08-14.patch` found in the source tree.

  * The guest account should have the identity `guest`. If you change

    guest account name, you need to explicitly update setting for this

    account.

  * The plugin won't check for user input from `icy_acl.zml`, so you

    may trick your site by some SQL injection. Yes, if you really want

    to trick your site.

  * Don't use any group name as any username or vice versa. That would make

    your configuration confused and some settings may have side-effects

    that are out of your control.



## Support



  To get support, please create new issue at

    https://github.com/icy/icy_picture_modify/issues



## Development



  The plugin requires a webUI for ACL editting. Unfortunately, the author

  isn't good at template system used by Piwigo. Feel free to help us to

  write a webUI :)
