naranai is in full on alpha release mode (most people would call it beta, I guess? But I’m not an asshole.). SO HEY! Why bother with fluff! If you don’t know what naranai is visit this post.
Go here: http://ikimashou.net/2010/01/14/projects-naranai-1-0b-released/
CHANGE LOG:
Update 2009-10-07: Added a bunch of bug fixes, some are in bugs.dasaku, most aren’t. If you used 0.12.1a for any reason instead of the SVN, update now.
Update 2009-09-22: Right! Good news. FINAL ALPHA VERSION! That’s right ladies. The next version that I release of this will be 1.0.0b. That is to say ONE POINT OH BETA OMG. Yeah, I feel it’s that close to being feature complete after this run. What did I add? Forums, an easy-peasy 100% CSS theme system (copy the main directory and edit like a madman. Change setting in config.php), a BBCode style formatting system that is made to work with naranai specifically (details here), lots more security type stuff, users must now click a link in their e-mail to get their account activated, more granular security options, and a ton of other minor shit. A few things are still missing, like implementation of the IMAGE_EDIT levels in the actual code (added), but I will get that in tonight. Also missing is proper forum admin shit. I will put that in shortly and release it proper. Still, not that much left to do. A few more security bits and admin features and I’ll be calling it 1.0. Please don’t report anything mentioned here as a bug, it will annoy me.
Update 2009-07-28: NOTE: I updated this at 4:55pm with the new install file. Might want to regrab if you got it last night. Extremely sorry for the slow release time. Fuck sake. Life happened, you dig? Mostly bug fixes and a few added features (mostly to do with making things cleaner and giving you some options about how tagging works due to some feedback I got from an avid danbooru lover) Also fixed some permissions bugs. I promise the next release won’t take two months. Haha. Also, I will be moving bugs over to TRAC/subversion sometime soon so people can grab the latest files without having to wait for me to package them. Please let me know of any bugs. I had a hard drive failure and had to put this release together from my live copy. Which isn’t ideal, obviously. I think I got it all done fine, though.
Update 2009-05-22: Fixed a bug in install.php that was causing some issues. If you didn’t correct it yourself, grab this release and run install.php.
Update 2009-05-21: Fixed a few bugs. Make sure you run install.php as well. Haha.
Update 2009-05-21: Fuuuuck sake, what all did I do? Uhh, I made image notes and scaling work a lot more like danbooru’s note scaling. Fixed up a shitton of group stuff. You can now edit groups, order groups, remove images from groups, delete groups. All that good shit. Got some naranai Settings in there not like who can Edit Tags/Aliases and so on and so forth. I’ll be adding a bunch more user settings and board-wide settings in the next release, as well as fleshing out permissions settings and so on. Check upgrade.sql for changes from your particular version. Ever since some people started bitching, I’ve been leaving multiple upgrade things in the upgrade.sql. Since I release daily it can be a bit of a pain in the ass. That’s part of why it’s alpha software, not beta. I think that’s it for this one. As always, bugs should be posted at the link above.
Update 2009-05-19: Fixed an issue with the ability to disable anon uploads.
Update 2009-05-18: A few admin features for deleting tags, notes, etc, etc. Fixed a ton of bugs on the tag pages. Oh and to the idiot running 2D Complex, I could spend hours explaining to you why it’s alpha and not a beta but I don’t think I’ll bother. And if you have a list of bugs, it’s not likely they’re going to get fixed by posting them on your zetaboards forums. That’s why there’s a bug tracker linked above. Only thing right now not fixed from you complaint list is the ability to delete groups, as I’m looking for a way to handle it elegantly. Hell, I fixed a number of them yesterday. You should pay more attention, cool kids. Oh, and the Help link is for later. It’s not supposed to work. P.S. I’m a better programmer than you, so if you fuck up your install, don’t go blaming shitty tweaks on me, sweet cakes. P.P.S. Yes, I’m an asshole. Try not to take it too hard.
Update 2009-05-17: A bunch of bug fixes, especially for non-subdomain installs. Likewise, I fixed a fatal fuck up in the naranai.sql file that was leading to alias and implications not working. You will need to DROP the aliases and implications tables from your naranai database and then run naranai.sql (it won’t overwrite any of your shit, so no worries. Though it’s alpha software, so there you go.) If you have any issues doing this, submit a troubleshooting bug at the link above and I’ll do what I can to help you out.
Update 2009-05-16: Another fairly feature rich update. Minor tweaks to the profile page (not longer looks like dick) You can now add tons of modifiers to your search options such as width:>=1920 (or just width:1920) same for height, you can order by stuff with queries like order:potrait and order:resolution as well as viewing all of a user’s posts with user:2 or user:randall, either works. You can limit ratings with rating:1 or rating:explicit, the numbers for those are 0-3 in the same order they’re in on the view image page. There are a few other things, but mostly bug fixes and so on. Added a few more bug fixes.
Update 2009-05-15: HUGE UPDATE! Added favourites, RSS feeds (with caching), logged in users can now edit notes, a few admin tools, user profiles, gravatars, Cool Iris support, ability to change passwords (ha!), I think that might be it. Ton of bug fixes. I still need to refine searching and a few other advanced sort of features before I call it 1.0, but we’re getting there. Remember to run update.sql and install.php (delete install.php after you run it) so you will have the right folders. Aside from images and thumbs, you now need a 777 modded feed_cache folder.
Update 2009-05-11: Fixed a few more bugs (some SQL, some others) and added the ability to type a tag as a company. I also added the ability to quick-type new tags, but I might change how this works a little later. For now it works that you can do artist:bacon and it will add the tag bacon and make it of type artist. Good times. I might switch it around as the current method makes autocomplete a bit pointless for certain things.
Nice. Tryout time.
Can’t upload images, but still good alpha.
Everything works now. Can own danbooru anytime.
I’ve installed the alpha and I can upload images (I had to create a thumbnail directory and give it write permissions on account of I was getting an error)
But each individual post isn’t working, The thumbnails are working and generating except the individual photo pages with the larger original image isn’t.
anyway of fixing this?
Also I’ve noticed the search isn’t properly configured.
Other than that it’s great so far for an alpha. I’d love to hire you sometime to maybe work on this project full time as I have big ideas and you have the coding tallent.
-Viper
Just got it up and running and it seems to work very nicely. Definitely very functional for an alpha.
I was initially having some upload problems unrelated to permissions. The bars would move to about 70-99% and the image/thumbnail files would get created in the right places on the server but none of the information was getting inserted in the database. I’ve not completely tracked it down yet, but it looks to be the calls to “color_to_name” in file_upload_script_thingy.php where it’s dying. If I comment out those three calls the upload works (although the bars still don’t hit 100%). Seems odd since nothing looks amiss in color_to_name.php that I can see. I’ll keep looking and if I find the exact cause I’ll let you know.
MattB:
Yeah, it looks like the color_to_name function has a tendency to be a bit slow. I’m working on it.
Looks like in my case I was lacking the json module for php. I installed it, pulled out my debugging code, and all is now working well.
My server is running the packaged install php 5.1.6 on CentOS 5 Linux (aka Red Hat Enterprise 5) so I’m guessing quite a few servers out there won’t have that module installed out of the box.
Yeah, it probably slows things considerably as well. I’ll just have to work on making it into a proper array.
Thanks for the heads up.
Yeah it’s coming along well.
The image uploading works except each image page with comments isn’t working for me.
Btw I’d love to donate some cash to further the development of this project so you should put up a paypal link or something.
-Viper
Haha I might do that since I’m unemployed.
Shoot me the URL of your naranai install as a private message on twitter and I’ll take a look at it.
Yeah, I’d definitely donate towards this as well if everything goes smoothly.
Yeah keep up the great work btw, this has come along way in such a short time.
For an alpha you aught to be congratulated in how complete it is.
-Viper
I just donated $50 buy some snacks ‘n’ beer. Maybe a 5 minute lap dance or something.
Donated $10. Hopefully you can buy something, I’m super poor atm. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for the help you guys. It’ll go a long way towards keeping food in my cabinets for the next little while. Which means I can put off getting a job just a bit longer! :D
Which means!!! MORE CODING ON NARANAI! YAY!
Nice! I saw the images you put on your alpha server and got sidetracked by trying to figure out how to translate that one about “Loli Organization” (something about “wishing for peace in the world of your desires,” which had me ask, “Does loli manga = world peace?”)
But as much as I saw, looks great!
Onward, inexorable march of progress!
Love it!
I’m having issues with uploading. I created a thumbs/images folders and 755 them, but uploading isn’t working.
I don’t see the green progress bar, but the percentage of the progress works fine. After upload has finished, instead of the picture, I get this:
http://i44.tinypic.com/6yledi.jpg
And when I check the images/thumbs folder, it’s empty.
I also tried what MattB suggested (commenting out the color_to_name file), but that didn’t work either~
Everything else looks great! Thanks for your hard work.
Based on that screenshot it looks like a mod_rewrite problem. I think someone else had this problem, but I forget, let me check some things. BRB! LAWLWLAWLALW!
Nope, nothing there. And it’s working on my testbeds.
Thank you for your fast response.
The image problems were CSS issues (duh) that were resolved by editing upload.css; as for uploading itself….
Interesting… I tried uploading something on your testbed, but got the same results:
Firefox 3.1b3

Chrome:
http://i41.tinypic.com/302rl6p.png
I’m running Windows XP SP3~
Again, thank you for your time.
UPDATE: Like I said before, I was unable to upload images using Firefox and Chrome, but when I used IE8, I got this error:
“Fatal error: Class ‘GetMostCommonColors’ not found in /home/whatever/public_html/naranai/file_upload_script_thingy.php on line 114″
So I commented out lines 114, 116-125. After that, I managed to upload images.
Now here’s the kicker, when I reverted everything back (uncommented those lines), I’m still able to upload pictures. It was fixed somehow~
That’s insanely odd, but thanks for the information. It’ll give me an idea on where to look to see if there’s actually a problem. I’m not sure if they’re browser related issues or what, but I’ll take a look as I can’t replicate on my end.
Ok, maybe I should use the bug report system instead of posting here~
So uploading isn’t working again =___________= I didn’t do anything this time… it just stopped working. I recorded a video for you:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cYheqTNTNFc
You’ll see in this video, but image viewing isn’t working either~
Maybe it’s just me and I’m doing something stupid. (sigh)
This thing looks interesting, what about the API?
It would be lovely to have a fully compatible one
FASFAS:
I assume you mean the danbooru API, and that is one of the things I plan to mess with a bit in the future. As of right now, though, it’s sort of low on the totem pole as far as features that I feel should be implemented as there are still a number of baseline functions missing.
Once I get all the little missing things in (proper ability to remove tags, ban accounts, control what user levels can do things, etc, etc.) I will turn to stuff like the API and, well, things that aren’t necessarily part of the baseline function of the software.
tl;dr
I’m planning to do it later.
Dude, naranai is awesome! I’ve been looking for something like danbooru, but not for ruby >_<
I found only shimmie… But it very inconveniently with tags T_T
Now I’m on this page and very happy) Thank you for hard work ^_^v
ps: mmm… and i’ve faced one problem… After I upload image on “Tag Your Uploads” page I see “No recent posts.”, but folder with image is uppear in images/thumbs folders O_o… I’ve looked in a database. In the table ‘images’ there was no record… I tested it localy – apache 2.2.10 + php 5.2.9 + mysql 5.0… and vista ~_~
May be i’m doing something wrong? X_X
Anyway good job! ^_^b
Hey Randall, if you’re not using the previous skin anymore, could I have a copy? I really liked the previous customisation.
Are you ever going to get around to releasing an updated version of Naranai?
Kenaya:
Please check the bugs link above. Right now there seems to an issue in using those things on Windows and I don’t have a windows dev box to test it on. Feel free to submit a bug and I’ll try to get to it when I can.
viper:
Yeah, I have a bunch of new shit coded, I just have had some hard drive problems so I’ll be rolling it out when I get that fixed. It won’t be terribly long now.
Heh, seems I’d missed like a zillion updates. Guess I should have been following the comments RSS. I’ll have to update my install I think.
It’ll be easier to follow when I get things moved over to TRAC. Which I think I will do right now. Since I am bored.
Ok, so fuck trac, I decided to upgrade Mantis and just start using webSVN. Ha. Trac is a giant pythony sack of worthless shit.
New upgraded Mantis is sexy.
What’s the difference between WebSVN and SVN?
Thanks for updating this Randall
Fox:
The SVN is an actual publicly readable SVN repo. You can point your favorite SVN client at it and get DIFFs or checkout the entire code set or whatever. Some people might want to use cron to auto pull the svn or something, I don’t know. I just want them to have access to it in case they do.
The WebSVN is just a web front-end to the SVN repository.
Viper:
No worries. Sorry it took so long, but now you can just hit the WebSVN and grab a tarball of the latest code any time you like. And so can I which will make distributing things quite a bit easier.
Thanks again Randall, I should talk to you more about some private development as I get this project of mine started.
Hey! I downloaded Naranai and it’s pretty cool (and extremely easy to install).
But when it comes to upload large images (3mb+), either the browser crashes or the error “plz upload pics larger than 25×25″ is dropped. Are you aware of this? (I changed the memory usage for scripts, so it’s not that.)
Thanks for release!
and how long take the next release?
Looking forward to a release Randall.
All the best
-Adam
Already? Haha, I’ve just done one.
So how serious are you about “Please don’t report anything mentioned here as a bug, it will annoy me.”? ‘Cause there are a few errors that I got~
http://bugs.dasaku.net
That is that that is for.
So it took me forever to find you again I finally found you doing a search for something like “shimmie is a steaming pile off…” :)
Anyways I want to screw around with it but I loaded it and none of the linkes work am I missing an .htaccess file or something…
Haha, well I calls ‘em like I sees ‘em.
As for the links not working, well, the .htaccess is included in the rar, but you might want to download the SVN version JUST to be sure. You can hit the webSVN and just grab the .htaccess, but I updated some stuff recently so you might want to get the latest version anyway.
yeah i didnt see it in the tar ball so i did what you said lookin good so far… I do hate to fill this up with questions.. ever thought of having a discussion forum not sure if the following is big enough though YET. See i dont know if they are bugs? The first issue I am having is the pages dont refresh and show new content… i grabbed… biggest thing was when i uploaded more images to the site when it went to tag images it showed the previous images I uploaded.
naranai-naranai.r26.tar.gz
I will tell you i loaded shimmie about 3 hours ago and even though the same issue exist on your cms I already like it better. I generally preffer tags to be separated by comas not spaces… like Elgg does it…. not like coppermine does it… eww coppermine bunch of pricks :)…
I generally do front end design and styling… wordpress, joomla you can check out my site if you like… if you want me to when i start trying to style it I can give you feed back. Although since it is all CSS and not tables COPPERMINE!!!! heh… should be pretty straight forward and flexible.
yeah its just not refreshing content… bugger. I go to my profile page and it says one post then i refreshed the browser window and it shows them all.
bug? or is it just me :(
