General Support: The Official Help Me Release Beta 3 Thread

I've been looking at the Classic theme as I am interested in the descriptions-in-tool-tips feature. I can't, however, get the tool tips to work. The description turns up just below the image. I've made no modifications to this theme. Am I missing something?

Thanks,
Anne

Posted By: amastersIn version 2, I could use html in some of the fields (title, caption) but in this beta3 version, I don't seem to be able to do that. Any suggestions?

I figured this out.

Mike - any pointers on the localhost issue? I could check something here if given some direction.... At the moment I can't really get anywhere :(

How about the swedish translation ? has anyone started with that ? if not, i could do it.

where is all ppl ?

Mike,

I just upgraded to the latest alpha. Once I did, all my thumbs were not showing. It turns out that the src for the images was "thumbs/fileName.jpg", without the full URL to the thumb. I went and manually added "/photos/" to each call to the SRC of the image in my templates.

Is this a new change, did I miss something?

Andros, is your "Gallery URL" set correctly on the Plogger options page? I don't remember changing anything with the way thumbnail URL's are generated...

Upgrading is pretty easy, just upload all the new files into your Plogger directory (if you are upgrading don't overwrite plog-config.php, overwrite all the files if you are installing fresh). Once all the new files are uploaded, simply run _upgrade.php in your browser.

For all these incremental releases from SVN, it's usually not even necessary to run the upgrade script (say, if you are upgrading from rev 401 to 402 or something) unless I change something with how the database is structured, or change the upgrade script itself.

Anne: you can fix this by setting a definite width for the ul#slides li element.

If you're not squeamish about inline styles, I'd suggest you utilize the new plogger_get_thumbnail_info function to set a width for the list item containing each thumbnail. To do this, edit the lightbox theme's album.php like so:


<?php
plogger_get_header();
print '<div id="thumbnail_container">';
if (plogger_has_pictures()) {
print '<input type="hidden" name="dl_type" value="pictures" />';

print '<ul id="slides">';

while(plogger_has_pictures()) {

plogger_load_picture();

// display thumbnails within album
// generate XHTML with thumbnail and link to picture view.

$capt = plogger_get_picture_caption();

// find thumbnail width
$thumb_info = plogger_get_thumbnail_info();
$thumb_width = $thumb_info[0]; // The width of the image. It is integer data type.
$li_width = $thumb_width + 16; // The li_width is 16 pixels greater than the width of the image.

$img_id = "thumb-".plogger_get_picture_id();
$imgtag = '<img id="' . $img_id . '" class="photos"
src="'.plogger_get_picture_thumb().'" title="'.$capt.'" alt="'.$capt.'" />';

print '<li class="thumbnail" style="width:'.$li_width.'px;"><a title="'.$capt.'" href="' . plogger_get_picture_thumb(THUMB_LARGE) . '" rel="lightbox">' . $imgtag . "</a>";

print plogger_download_checkbox(plogger_get_picture_id());

print '<div class="tag">' . $capt . '</div></li>';
}


print '</ul>';
}
else{
print '<div id="no-pictures-msg">There are no pictures in this album.</div>';
}

print '</div>';
plogger_get_footer();
?>



Actually, this method works well with all of the themes, not just Lightbox. It allows a consistent layout to be achieved regardless of the user-defined thumbnail size.

There's another, user-created Lightbox theme in the works at http://plogger.org/forum/discussion/1152/plogger-with-litebox-lightbox2/, and I'm off-and-on assembling one myself.

still can't get anywhere with it running on localhost. will try again later on to dissect it and output what the urls equate to. any help on classes used for this would be great. really want to try and help out and get this problem resolved. hints anyone?

No german translation yet. _leon_ I'm sorry I can't be of more help, I have been real busy lately. Have you checked to make sure that you have GD installed on your host? That would be the most fundamental problem... thumbnails would have no way to generate. If that's not it, then it is probably something with the URL's, make sure your Gallery URL is setup relative to the root of your webserver.

This isn't so much a bug, but more of an annoyance.

In Beta 3, when you're on the manage page under a collection and you add an album, it dumps you back at the root, instead of putting you back into that collection.

Plogger 2.1 functions as desired.

Hi Mike,
First off, thanks for a wonderful gallery. I have successfully downloaded and installed v2 and was hoping to give v3 a try but I have run into the same problem that a couple of others in this post have.
Its the same rather lengthly error message that dlongnecker posted on Feb 19th and Martin Searle posted on Mar 15th. It seems to be happening during the image upload, from the error I would guess it has something to do with the thumbnail creation?
Like dlongnecker, I am also on a windows server.

Just a little more info to help narrow down the problem. I get a similar error if I try to use the import feature, the box where the thumbnail should be shows the same type of error. Also, strangely, when I upload the image and get the error, the gallery still creates the image record and uploads the main image. If I view the image through the front-end of the gallery, not only does it display the image but it creates the thumbnail and medium size image files.

I hope that makes sense.

Thanks again!

Just for reference here is the error:

There seems to be a problem with the upgrade for some people, I would suggest doing a new install for testing at this point until I can get in and figure out what is going on...

I just mailed Mike a german language translation.

Did anyone has a found out why the slideshow only shows the pictures from the first page and loops only that page then ?
When anyone can give me a hint where to search for fix that bug in the code, I would be happy

thanks

Murdok, thanks for the German Translation, as soon as I review it I will commit it to SVN!

As far as Highslide, that looks pretty cool. It would be a snap to integrate into Plogger3 as well...

is the latest plogger3alpha.zip fom nightly ? cant do anything, even with a clean install.. cant login as admin etc. i use the right username and password but it doesnt work..

Login to admin
SELECT * FROM `plogger_config`

In file: /bild/admin/plog-upload.php

On line: 17

I'm also getting...

SELECT * FROM `plogger_config`

In file: /admin/plog-upload.php

On line: 17

I was initially upgrading from version 2 and received this error... so decided to do a complete fresh install and i'm getting the same error when trying to access the admin section.

Any move on a fix for this?

{EDIT}Not 100% on what caused this... but removing all tables again and removing all files related to plogger off my server and reinstalling did the trick... working away at it now! Bring on the multiple users!!{EDIT}

Alright, I re-uploaded the package with this fix implemented. Guys, this should be ready to go now. I need some themes!

I'm flattered, thanks Mike.

I still have problems with the Slideshow, it only shows me Page one of the pictures and then loops again on the first pic from page one.
Did anyone has tested it out? maybe it has something to do with my webspace or my mysql version then.
Anyone tested it and it runs for you ?
please let me know thanks.

Tony,

First of all, please do not use the Plogger Admin icon for your avatar, this is reserved for moderators and developers of Plogger. I have removed it from your account twice now, and if I have to do it again your account will be banned.

In regards to your problem, as I stated above try deleting the file "admin/plog-globals.php" and run again.

Right so you would ban my account just for having a plogger logo hmmm........ that?s a little on the sad side, I have spent many hours fixing bugs for this CMS and have been an active member in helping out others fix the bugs that I have come across as you haven?t and that?s the thanks I receive, I have a right to have a plogger logo, why.... I?ve spent enough time fixing it, oh & doing you?re job for you.

It sounds like you got it all figured out hey mike

There is a big difference between being belligerent, & being pissed off, by the fact that one of the supposed developers has an issue with me using a plogger logo? Some who has a right to having the logo, due to what I have put into this project which has been a considerable amount, although you some how find that hard to believe ?only 12 comments? I?ve have posted 655? what does that sound like to you? I know what it sounds like?..A pathetic excuse, you?re value on a forum is determined by how many comments you post, ever heard of quality over quantity?....probably not.

You know what if it bothers you that badly go right ahead and ban me but I warn you now, you will be making a big mistake.

I already wrote here about problems with alpha versions, but here it continue with official release too.

I created new database and completely new folder. Upload everything and start _install.php. Set attributes to all folders, inset database infos and receive message that set up is complete. Downloaded new plog-config.php and uploaded to server. Then clicked on final button and receive following message:

Warning: mkdir(): SAFE MODE Restriction in effect. The script whose uid/gid is 5306/5306 is not allowed to access /mounted-storage/home7/.../plogger/images/plogger-test-collection owned by uid/gid 99/99 in /mounted-storage/home7/.../plogger/admin/plog-admin-functions.php on line 880

Notice: Undefined variable: path in /mounted-storage/home7/.../plogger/admin/plog-admin-functions.php on line 518

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /mounted-storage/home7/.../plogger/admin/plog-admin-functions.php:880) in /mounted-storage/home7/.../plogger/_install.php on line 27

Since I already had experience with this, I went to default folder and there I saw normal page with ?No collections yet? text. Then I went to /admin page and logged normally. I successfully created new collection. In that collection when I tried to create new album, I received following code on top of the page:

Warning: mkdir(): SAFE MODE Restriction in effect. The script whose uid/gid is 5306/5306 is not allowed to access /mounted-storage/home7/.../plogger/images/novo owned by uid/gid 99/99 in /mounted-storage/home7/.../plogger/admin/plog-admin-functions.php on line 880

but bellow it I saw normal plog-manage.php page with list of collections, except of message I receive in red square: Could not create directory !

So, what is problem with this?

Notes: I tried new install several times and always see this.

By the way, I translated that .pot file to Serbian, but couldn't test it since I don't have working installation of new Plogger.
