A small gallery script I want to share with you all
 

What this script basically does is convert a FHG to a regular gallery you can submit to tgps, etc. using your own templates.
I really don't know where I got it, but it's free. The autor just asks for a link on your site if you use it.

I hope if there's some programmer who would like to improve it, and then post it here again.

Or if you have some other free scripts you'd like to share.

Here's the text from the author:

What this script does:

The script is designed to extract picture and movie content from a sponsor?s fhg (remember, not all sponsors may allow this so check with your sponsor to make sure they do allow fhg ripping). The script will extract the thumbs from the gallery and the images or movie files connected with the thumbs and download them to your server. It will also create your gallery based on your template with all links in place along with a join link containing your sponsor code. Each gallery that is generated is placed in a new folder with a random name in the folder that you specify in the config_submission.php file.

This was a custom script I designed for my own purposes, but if you know some PHP you will very easily be able to adapt the script to your needs. I have created a config file where you simply enter in the information pertaining to your server and location of the directories you will be using.

This script is not something that I am releasing as a commercial product. I?m simply contributing to the community and only require a hard link in exchange for use of the script. I will only be able to provide very limited support. I have set up a small message board here: http://gotlesbianporn.com/forum/index.php


The script will also make an exact copy of a FHG and transfer it to your server retaining all links and maintaining your link codes and 2257 links.

Good luck!

as a content provider i can only warn people to use this without talking to the sponsor first. our license for example would not cover this and it could result in trouble for the affiliate and for the sponsor

Umm, what? Maybe I don't understand what you're saying, but what's the point of the FHG's then? I know it's free hosted gals but c'mon this is 2009 people save the images and promote you as they please.

So you'll let the content go anywhere and everywhere (fully exclusive) via FHG's, but you have a problem with affiliates adding to the anywhere-and-everywhere effect? And how does this benefit you exactly? You're selling the content fully-exclusive, obviously... or else you wouldn't be allowing the program to be building FHG's with the content to begin with.

:2 cents::2 cents::2 cents::2 cents::2 cents::2 cents::2 cents::2 cents:

Well a lot of licenses cover that the content is being streamed from the sponsors host, not on 100,000 other new hosts.

No "licensed content" allows for FHG's to be created. :2 cents: That is for full-exclusivity (copyright ownership) only. That means you can do whatever the fuck you want with the images, including allowing your affiliates to rip the images for their own usage.

wrong - and wrong...

are we talking about exclusive content? then i don't care what my client does with it and if he allows webmasters to do this or not

are we talking about non-exclusive content from my shop? then my client has to pay extra for a FHG license. And if he wants to hand out the content to webmasters so that they can host it on their own servers (which would be the case here), then this also costs extra.

please remember - a part of the license (a legal contract) are the domains that the buyer is allowed to use the content on. If anyone takes the content without asking and without permission and puts it on his own domains - no matter if he promotes the sponsor with this or not - he has no legal license to do so and the sponsor who would allow this without paying extra would be in violation of the license agreement.

sorry to say so, but you can't simply take content without asking first

sorry, but you are wrong. please see answer above

Oh, yeah I understand that, I was just a little confused by the wording from your other post.

Bottom line here as i see it is that if you are taking content that has been licensed to an affiliate program to use on their own FHGs such as our own program Condom Cash and start distributing that content on your own domain names that is content theft unless you have specifically asked for permission to do so and we are able to transfer that content to use for affiliate use.

if you had bought from us (which is not very likely with Condom Cash) then yes. ;)

i can't speak for other content producers though - everyone has his own license. all i want to say is: as an affiliate ask your sponsor first before you get him and yourself in potential trouble

And any sponsor who does not allow their affiliates to download the images of a FHG to their own server and put in their own templates, simply won't be promoted... At least not by anyone who sends sales, therefore, anyone who would use this script is not in any possible danger.

Hope that helps clear anything up. :thumbsup

That isnt true i am sure you are aware there are a lot of scumbags in the business right now who will do whatever they can to make a sale including steal other peoples content and use it for their own means..... Sorry didnt mean to turn this in to another tube site thread LOL

Ding, ding, ding! We have a weiner! :upsidedow

Not true at all, don't forget the people still living in 1999 doing business as usual. Downloading FHG images might be what everyone is doing now, but there are definitely still people using old methods just fine. You don't have to be some huge buzz worthy up-to-date sponsor in order to run a successful paysite.

Good effort, nice contribution.

You've got to be fucking kidding me. There are pretty much zero programs buying licensed content for FHG's. And I'm a content provider myself. I have been shooting full time since 2001.

Like it or not, this is usually the case. :2 cents:

hmm, I would have thought the opposite would be the case, saving them on bandwidth, and giving the surfer a better experience with faster loading pages that are hosted all over the place instead of from one site for everyone

So has anybody tried that script actually? Is it of any good?

WTF is with the replies in here?

You can't put content from an FHG on your own server to promote a sponsor? :1orglaugh

I built my own script like this and rip galleries to my server to promote the sponsors.

Why on earth would anyone not want this???

I guess I wasn't clear. I was referring to this part... "And any sponsor who does not allow their affiliates to download the images of a FHG to their own server and put in their own templates, simply won't be promoted..."

I use Arylia for this and until now from tons of sponsors only one sponsor didn't allow me to use their content to create my own gals. BTW PuZcash DOES allow this too of course ;-)

signing up :)

and you are wrong again - sorry. i have it built in as option in my shopping cart and it is used regularly by my clients

maybe we are an exception then, i can only speak from my personal experience over the last 6 years

Thanks DanielS :) These guys are so mean, I am fed up all this tube talk. if someone offers free hosted galleries, those images are not exclusive any more.

Don't forget that it's the content licence which may forbid them from (effectively) redistributing the content, it's not the sponsors choice.

I can see it from the content providers side too, if they sell a set and allow it to be used on arbitrary domains then how can they tell if the content is being used legitimately (sponsor->affiliate) or just plain old stolen?

There are loads of "grab all images" addons for Firefox that will rip galleries.

I usually just ask if I can rip fhg's. Unless I have members access and have agreed that I can use any members content for promo - there is no difference between collecting from members area and collecting from an FHG (allthough with the former you can select your own pics.)

"Just ask" is the best policy, then no one gets upset.

exactly, thanks for these posts

Good you're not releasing it as a commercial product, because your code is less than bullet proof. With the primordial soup that is your regular expressions, I reckon this would break on about 50% of galleries.

Best of luck :)

Exactly, it is a licensing issue.

If you use something without a license... We call that 'theft' those who think it is okay to just arbitrarily take content and use it for whatever they want might want to check out the laws on content piracy!

If a sponsor has exclusive content, it should really be that way. I've found some small time paysite owners to be protective of their content, to the point of being rediculous (like giving photos that are cropped to show no nudity -wtf can I do with that?)

Personally if I ran a program I'd let webmasters do pretty what they like if they go sales (within reason of course)

:error:error:error

And that's where you guys are wrong. I'm sorry, but in most websites I've built, or have done client work on, they get traffic from trading plugs on other people sites, or getting galleries listed... Just like with TGP's you think TheHun will allow you to plug a FHG because the sponsor won't let you take the images from their server and put on your own, in a better optimized template, to promote them? Nobody will do that, and if anyone does, they don't make sales.

No respectable TGP, or any type of site you can get your galleries listed on, will take a FHG from you instead of a hand built gallery.

Sell it... You don't need full on nudity/hardcore to sell a site... You just gotta have more motivation than simply throwing the gallery up and saying "Look, boobs!".

Non-nude is a huge market and has better ratios than general... Remember that.

I did not write it. Just found it and wanted to share. Or maybe if some programmer would like to improve it.

Nothing else.

Exclusive or not.... What amazes me is tubes can rip a full paysite and not even put up a link to the sponsor but somebody uses this proggie to rip a FHG and link back to the paysite and they could get banned... tell me this industry is not fucked up:disgust

Just an FYI if That lesbian site required to link too is yours that's a pretty sleazy thing to do. Require others to link to your site for using it and not even be the author. If it's not, then forgive me for what I just said. :thumbsup

Welcome to the Adult Industry! :1orglaugh:1orglaugh

I can see both sides on this but the fact is it only maters how the media was purchased for what kind of use. A studio may charge $XXX for content for a paysite only but they may charge $XXXXX for an unlimited use deal. depends on how the deal that the program got the media under. So rule is ask first I imagine that most are fine with it some won't be. But if you want all your earnings to disappear from a ToC snafu thats your call.

BTW Great script works really well TY so much

Okay, let's put this to bed. I am the author of the code. I wrote it as a tool for myself and decided that I would share it with others. The intent of the script was to make it easier to create custom galleries to use on your site rather than using a FHG that everyone else uses and primarily to be a time saver.

As stated, always check with your sponsor to make sure you are within the TOS. There are other scripts out there that do the same thing.

I wrote the code quite a while ago. Someone mentioned something about the code not being up to par. Well, if the script is useful to you then fix it up and share your improvements. It was meant as an attempt to get back to a sense of community.

It is not meant, nor was created, to be some type of "shady" script. It is a tool. A tool to help webmasters promote content and make sales for their sponsors. That's all there is to it.

As for the linking requirements...well, if there is enough interest in the script I will make a page outlining usage.

retarded thread.

So answer me this, is the site required to link to for using the script, that is in the script, yours? Or is it the OP's? And if it's not yours did you authorize him to require people to link to his site for using your work?

To answer your question http://gotlesbianporn.com is my site.

From what I can see so far, the OP is simply passing along a tool that others may find useful and has done nothing wrong.

Also, if enough people are interested, I will setup a revamped page on the site for the script.

I could not get it to work.. neither could my hosting company.

I looked at the file the OP posted (the zip file) and there may be some files missing. Keep in mind, it's been a long time since I posted the script / looked at it.

If you are serious about using the script I will go over the files that I have locally and can work with you to get it up and running. I won't be able to do this immediately though, would have to be sometime next week. Send me an email at: admin -- hitthatass.com and we can take it from there.

I've always just ripped movies/pics from FHG's to make freesites. Optimize them a bit with photoshop or movie editor to cut down the file size, and then make a freesite based around them. I've never once had anyone question it, sponsor, linklist owner, or anthing. I guess so long you use the content to promote the sponsor the FHG belongs to, and so long as you send sales, they dont care :)

Edit: Also, dont remove watermarks and they wont get pissed off too i guess?

thank you :)

will do thanks.

I couldn't find the splash_get file to modify the imagemagik path. If you can get it up and running, I could get your some free backlinks to your lesbian site for your trouble.

thanks. .

Useful share, Thank You :)
