Hey, I'm trying to do a batch add and like so many other people here, no directories show up to select from.

Before you ask..
Yes, I've read the manual.
Yes, I put the files in /public_html/thesawx/gallery/albums/upload/ rather than /userpics/
Yes, I made sure the folder is chmoded 777 (and have tried 755)

I'm pretty stumped, any suggestions?

[Joachim Müller]

don't name that folder "userpics". Name it something else and everything will work as expected. Don't use spaces in album names.

[prence]

Err.. let me rephrase what I said.

The directory I uploaded the images to is /public_html/thesawx/gallery/albums/upload/
It is NOT /userpics/ because it says not to use that.

Any more suggestions?

Create a subdirectory in /albums, set the permissions correctly, and try again.  Does that directory show up?

[prence]

Nope, this time I created a directory called 'moree' in /albums/ and it still doesn't show up.
Perms are 777, I tried it with 755 on the new directory as well.

Do you ever get error messages displayed?

In seachnew.php, find

Code: [Select]

function display_dir_tree($folder, $ident)
below that, replace

Code: [Select]

if (!is_readable($dir_path)) return;
with

Code: [Select]

//if (!is_readable($dir_path)) return;
If that doesn't help, continue further down that function, and replace

Code: [Select]

        //if (is_dir($CONFIG['fullpath'] . $folder . $file) && $file != "." && $file != "..") { // removed by following line for 'do not show folders with dots': gaugau 03-11-02
        if (is_dir($CONFIG['fullpath'] . $folder . $file) && substr($file,0,1) != "." && strpos($file,"'") == FALSE && $file != substr($CONFIG['userpics'],0,strlen($CONFIG['userpics'])-1)  && $file != "edit" ) {
with

Code: [Select]

        if (is_dir($CONFIG['fullpath'] . $folder . $file) && $file != "." && $file != "..") { // removed by following line for 'do not show folders with dots': gaugau 03-11-02
        //if (is_dir($CONFIG['fullpath'] . $folder . $file) && substr($file,0,1) != "." && strpos($file,"'") == FALSE && $file != substr($CONFIG['userpics'],0,strlen($CONFIG['userpics'])-1)  && $file != "edit" ) {
See if that helps at all.

[prence]

Nope, I don't.
I did the first fix you listed and it showed the directory and it all worked fine that way.  Not sure why it does, but thanks a lot for the help.

Does your server run PHP in safe mode?

[prence]

Nope

Just so you know... I had the same problem and it was only solved by making BOTH the code changes not just the first one.  Great piece of software - many thanks

[kegobeer]

Thanks for the report.  I modified my batch add sticky post to include both possible code changes.
