    I'm upgrading a site form Yappa-Ng (done fine but looks dated and no updates even though there is a security issue with it) and found Plogger to be pretty nice actually! I have around 1500 photos via various folders and 1200 of them I've been able to import by copying the folder to the uploads folder then importing... But I've got 7 folders that just refuse to import! I click on them, see all the thumbnails generated (anything form 80-160 photos), click existing or new folder, and import - then almost instantly I'm back at the import screen with no imports occurring :( any clues?

    Secondly - may I suggest a new forum for Announcements? That way we can subscribe to it and get to know of software updates, especially if they are a security fix. Otherwise if a flaw is found I won't know anything about it, unless I happen to visit. At least with a subscription to an announcements forum I should see new releases and important security fixes as they are found/reported :)

    Anyhoo - keep up the great work!

    Mat!

    Done. You can subscribe to the category or get its RSS feed.

    Thanks - subscribed :)

    Any ideas for my import issue? Are there any logs or debug I can do to aid?

    Hi Mat -

    Have you tried importing part of one of those folders (20-40 images) into the desired gallery? I'm wondering if you aren't hitting the ceiling on your webhost's server resource restrictions trying to import so many images at once.

    Yes, I did try that, put it down to around 50 photos (have more that that in some other folders already that imported ok)

    Try dropping that number down to about 20 images and see if it works for you then. What is the average filesize of each of the images?

    Yep lower numbers are working, but adds a lot more time to the task :( average file is about 110kb. I can manages resources on the server as it's my server :) but some sort of error message or dividing the upload when it exceeds would be a nicer solution of course.

    Mat -

    Open plog-globals.php and add the following around line 6 - just before define('PLOGGER_DIR',dirname(__FILE__) . '/');

    error_reporting(E_ALL);
    That will display all Plogger errors, notices, warnings, etc. at the top of the admin section.

    Please let us know what you find.

    When I click the upload tab I'm getting :-

    Notice: Undefined index: PATH_TRANSLATED in /home/XXX/public_html/XXXXX/plog-load_config.php on line 36

    Then when I select a folder to import I get :-

    Notice: Undefined index: PATH_TRANSLATED in /home/XXX/public_html/XXXXX/plog-load_config.php on line 36
    Notice: Undefined variable: counter in /home/XXX/public_html/XXXXX/admin/plog-import.php on line 250
    Notice: Undefined variable: counter in /home/XXX/public_html/XXXXX/admin/plog-import.php on line 263

    And just above each thumbnail :-
    Notice: Undefined index: PATH_TRANSLATED in /home/XXX/public_html/XXXXX/plog-load_config.php on line 36

    Then I select 20 odd photos and hit submit :-

    Just goes back to square one selection, doesn't seem to do anything at all :(

    Mat -

    Do you have error logs on your server? If so, have you checked them to see if they show anything?

    Also, do you have directory size limitations on your server, i.e., is there a limit as to how many files can be in a folder? Some servers have a limit of 1000-1500 files that can be contained in one folder. The reason I ask - you've already imported approximately 1200 images, which equals 1200 small thumbnails in the thumbs folder. If you are also generating intermediate-size images, that's another possible 1200 large thumbnails which would be created in that same folder.

    No limits as far as I am aware, but why place all the thumbnails in the same folder? The only errors are the ones shown above with the Undefined Index

    I'm having the same issue as Mat-d-rat. I have 274 images stuck in the upload directory that I can't import into an album. And Plogger doesn't create the new albums. I checked my thumbs directory and I have 3363 files. In the images directory I have around 20 albums.

    My errors are slightly different however after attempting to import the images.

    On the MANAGE page
    Notice: Undefined variable: output in /var/virtual/web/xxxxx/html/plogger/admin/plog-admin-functions.php on line 1238
    Notice: Undefined variable: output in /var/virtual/web/xxxxx/html/plogger/admin/plog-manage.php on line 35

    On the UPLOADS page, these are the messages displayed:
    Notice: Undefined variable: output in /var/virtual/web/xxxxx/html/plogger/admin/plog-upload.php on line 118
    Notice: Undefined index: albums_menu in /var/virtual/web/xxxxx/html/plogger/admin/plog-upload.php on line 15
    Notice: Undefined index: new_album_name in /var/virtual/web/xxxxx/html/plogger/admin/plog-upload.php on line 15
    Notice: Undefined index: albums_menu in /var/virtual/web/xxxxx/html/plogger/admin/plog-upload.php on line 15
    Notice: Undefined index: new_album_name in /var/virtual/web/xxxxx/html/plogger/admin/plog-upload.php on line 15
    etc
    etc

    ANY IDEAS??
