Title: Not really a error, but still strange....
Post by: witchdoctor on June 18, 2006, 06:44:09 pm
When using the batch add, there are no thumb images created or shown, the images up_ok, up_dub, up_pb are not shown, only brokenlink images and the images up_na are shown, when I forget to select an album.
However when all of the images are ready en I click in thumbnails, alle the images and thumbnails are shown in the gallery... this happens on all of the images I put in the gallery.

When clicking on the brokenink image, a new windows is shown, but with nothing in it. There is obv. no erros since
the images are put in the gallery.
I checked the folder chmod's, they are all set to 777, the hostprovider is set up for GD 2.x.

I have also another CPG running, on a diff. server, the problem mentioned above is not happening there.

"problem gallery" : www.vpgdesamenhang.nl/gallery/

"noproblem gallery" : www.houtindustriewinkel.nl/referenties/

Any idea why the up_... images are not shown?

With regards,

Ok I have set up an test account (test/test) and switched on the debug mode for all. Will you be so kind to check: www.vpgdesamenhang.nl/gallery
When I use one file (http?) there is nothing wrong.

When logged in as admin and adding pictures to a album the up_... images are not shown, right-clicking on them reveals that they are
not present, but they are in the /images/ folder ? (addpic.php)

I did checked de /albums, /albums/userpices and /albums/edit voor the right CHMOD, they all are set to 777.

(I do not have this problem in version 1.4.5., which is running on a different server)

Hope you can en will help me out on this..

With regards,

Roland

Do a right-click, properties on the borken thumbnails and paste the url into your reply here.

Here's the url when I rightclick

http://www.vpgdesamenhang.nl/gallery/addpic.php?aid=4&pic_file=MTVKVlBHLzE1Si1WUEctMDAxLmpwZw==&reload=44967256b1218

Vargha: Yes, this happens only when I'm in as admin and using the builtin browser (that's the batch add?)
Title: Re: Not really a error, but still strange....
Post by: Vargha on June 19, 2006, 12:44:56 pm
the link says Access denied  ???
Title: Re: Not really a error, but still strange....
Post by: witchdoctor on June 19, 2006, 01:09:48 pm
That's weird...
I tried myself (as a guest), a minute ago and got the same message, but after I'd logged in as admin and submitted the url, I got a blank window
with nothing in it.

What should I do, make an admin acount for you and submit this to you in a private message? Then you're welcome use one of the albums I already made and batch add some pictures in an album and see for yourself ?

if you are goin to make an admin for someone to test, i suggest you to pm the admin account and pass to GauGau  :)
Title: Re: Not really a error, but still strange....
Post by: witchdoctor on June 19, 2006, 02:31:32 pm
I'll do that. I have a little request, will you be so kind to bring Gaugau up to speed? Since English isn't my strongest point  :-[ , I have some difficulties to exactly explain what's the problem and where he has to look.

Thanks for being patient with me.

Regards,

Roland

Post by: Vargha on June 19, 2006, 02:35:28 pm
sure ill try ;D
but look at GauGaus Signuture
Don't contact me over PM or email unless I asked you to. Instead: post on the proper board. All unrequested messages will be ignored and your negative karma will no doubt increase!

so wait for him to ask you :)
Title: Re: Not really a error, but still strange....
Post by: witchdoctor on June 19, 2006, 03:02:10 pm
Oooops  :o

Too late, when he contacts me I'll have to make an apologize, 'cause I allready did mail him.
My mistake... hopefully he will forgive me... personal & board rules are there for a reason, I know.  ;D

Roland

Again, thanks for your time

@Vargha: Don't tell people to send me PMs, this it outrageous! If I want someone to send me a PM, I will tell him so myself. You are not authorized to post on my behalf.
I appreciate your readiness to do support. If you're ready to do individual support, that's fine as well. But then walk the road to the end: if you feel experienced enough and you think that this can only be solved by having admin access, ask the person who is asking for support to PM the admin data to you; it's still up to that person to trust you and do as suggested or not.  However, we (the Coppermine support staff) believe in helping people to help themselves - having an admin account and sort things for the user who got stuck should only be the last alternative, after having tried everything else.

@witchdoctor: I understand that you were made to believe that it's OK to PM me your details, so I have no hard feelings.

Post by: witchdoctor on June 19, 2006, 10:58:03 pm
Hi Gaugau,
 
Maybe also a little bit my mistake for not reading the post correctly, so for that I must apologize. Vargha did tell me to wait until
you contacted me (when and if you want to) but I did already send the PM, maybe also because I was thinking there was some comm. between the two of you. (This sounds a bit weird, imagine I think in Dutch, and write in English...  :-\)

Again I'm sorry I did PM you (and reading your reaction it isn't the first time this happand and I can understand it drives you insane  ;) )

Well, as you can see, I like to end this the proper way, so what's the next step for me to do?

With regards,

Roland

Using the admin account you sent me, I wasn't able to spot a folder that contained files that didn't already exist in Coppermine's database, so I have little to test with. FT-upload some small, known-good jpg files to your test folder.
Title: Re: Not really a error, but still strange....
Post by: witchdoctor on June 19, 2006, 11:26:45 pm
Hi,

I just put some files in the 'test' folder, some photo's of my mainecoon pet. (size 800x600)
Title: Re: Not really a error, but still strange....
Post by: witchdoctor on June 20, 2006, 02:16:52 pm
Can you believe it... just when I want to post a new message, my cableprovider crashes... >:( 'till this mornig I had no internet and phone
Anyway, I have uploaded some photo's of my pet mainecoon in de /albums/test/ folder you can use.
Imageformat: JPG, size 800x600 px.

Roland

Hi,

Do you guys think there's a solution or is it something I can ignore (browser/host problem?)
Strange thing is that when I forget to select an album to put pictures into it,
the NA image does apear, when I then click on "go back" and select the proper
album none of the 'up_*' images apear, but the pictures, thumbs, etc,  are created
and visible for others when selecting the album.

Can I switch off the debug function or do you still need it?

Roland
Title: Re: Not really a error, but still strange....
Post by: Joachim Müller on June 21, 2006, 04:02:11 pm
Still unable to replicate - batch-adding worked as expected for me (see http://www.vpgdesamenhang.nl/gallery/displayimage.php?pos=-424). Make sure that there aren't some sort of pseudo-security apps on your pc that interfere (like Norton Internet Security or similar crap).
Yes, you can turn debug_mode off.
Title: Re: Not really an error, but still strange....
Post by: witchdoctor on June 21, 2006, 04:50:56 pm
Ok, I will do that.

Ummm... I checked both servers: one says safe mode on|on (vpgdesamenhang.nl) where I have problems with batch-add
the other says safe mode off|off... there I don't have problems witch batch-adding... Could it be something todo with that ?
And if so: what should I do?

Roland
Title: Re: Not really a error, but still strange....
Post by: Joachim Müller on June 21, 2006, 05:37:24 pm
Try setting silly_safe_mode as suggested in the docs, maybe this helps.
Title: Re: Not really a error, but still strange....
Post by: witchdoctor on June 22, 2006, 08:42:44 am
I still got the broken link images when adding pictures (except when I forget to select an album, then I see the NA image),
at start the thumbnails are not displayed either. After logging out/in again and select batch-add and select the folder I just inserted
the thumbs are displayed, when I re-insert the images, I should get the "double data" image, but again the broken link
image appeard. When I right click and select props, I get something about 'does not exsist (but those images are on my server.

I turned silly safe mode on, as written in the docs, but with the same result - batch-adding pictures: NO thumbs as preview,
NO "OK" "PB" or "DP", (only "NA" appears when forgetting to select an album) but the pictures are again stored and displayed as expected.

I really don't know where to look now. It's weird.
Title: Re: Not really a error, but still strange....

Supp.

Before You'll ask  ;)
I don't have any ext. firewalls installed, except the one of Win XP and I use Kasperski Antivirus.
But I don't see the problem there, 'cause I used the prev. version of CPG with no problems with batch-add.
Anyway trying won't hurt: I disabled Firewall ánd Antivirus, but got the same results with batch-add.

 >:( ??? AAAAARRRRG !!! Anyone ??

Title: Re: Not really a error, but still strange....
Post by: Joachim Müller on June 23, 2006, 07:47:39 am
I'm running out of ideas. Can you test from another machine?
Title: Re: Not really a error, but still strange....
Post by: witchdoctor on June 23, 2006, 10:54:23 am
Yes I can and I get the same result... no thumbs and only the NA image when forgetting to select an album...

Now, I did the following:

I tested my other Gallery ( upgraded from 1.4.5 to 1.4.8 ) at www.rolandmiddelveld.com/gallery and I get the same result "red crosses"
When I rightclick on one of those red crosses I get this:
- addpic.php?aid=1&pic_file=dGVzdC90ZXN0LTAwMS5KUEc=&reload=449ba87e0293d
and 'not availble' for size, type and date...
but the photo's are added and visible in the gallery ?!

I tested the gallery used here at work (1.4.5.) at www.houtindustriewinkel.nl/referenties and quess what:
everithing works fine, I get thumbs, OK signs, everything....!
Rightclick on one of the "OK images" gives me this:
- addpic.php?aid=34&pic_file=dGVzdC90ZXN0LTAwNS5KUEc=&reload=449baaaf804c1
including file size, type and date information (up_ok.gif, etc., etc...)

Now tell me, where's does it go wrong....?

b.t.w.: my personal website ánd the website of my work are both hosted at the same provider...
Title: Re: Not really a error, but still strange....
Post by: witchdoctor on June 24, 2006, 06:57:18 pm
Ok I tested again today...
I installed version 1.4.5 and 1.4.8 on my system... running easyphp+mysql.
In 1.4.5. I batch add some pictures and see all the images (thumbs, OK image etc), clicking on the thumbnailsbutton result in showing the pictures I added.
In 1.4.8 I batch add some pictutes and see no thumbs, no OK sign etc, clicking on the thumbnailsbutton result in showing the pictures I just added.

Since this is a local machine, I use IM... but the webversions uses GD 2 and have the same results... 1.4.5. works fine, 1.4.8. has an error with
batch-add.

Maybe looking up the code and compare it ??  I don't have a clue where to look... please help
Title: Re: Not really a error, but still strange.... but here's the solution
Post by: witchdoctor on June 26, 2006, 04:31:40 pm
Yesssssssssssssssss I found the solution with 'red crosses' and not showing the images OK, DB, PB... when using batch-add!

It was the dutch.php (translation) file what caused this error.
First I removed the dutch language file, CPG switched back to english, and batch-add was doing his thing the proper way
(@Gaugau: that's why in your case when you logged in batch-add was working as you expected: you don't see the dutch translation,
but the english...  ;) )
After that I copied the dutch.php deliverd with CPG version 1.4.5, and batch-add is working properly now! (and in dutch)

Maybe usefull to mention in the 'upload trouble shooting FAQ' (and maybe I missed it been mentioned) that if there are problems
with CPG in any way: always go back to the CPG native, that means english, language and try again. If I realized this earlier  :D :D

I found a topic about this translation matter here at the forum:
http://forum.coppermine-gallery.net/index.php?topic=28539.0

Maybe it will help others, esp. new dutch users: I found some of them with the same issue, too?

I must thank you here at Coppermine for being patient with me and for trying to help me, but who thoughd it was the translation ???

Godspeed!

Hey, that's why this a support forum... helping each other is part of it.  ::)
I regret knowing too little of the program CPG and PHP itself, otherwise I could start a support board in Dutch  :-\ ;)
I found it hard to explain the situation in English, while thinking in Dutch and working with a Dutch version of CPG.

But it came out ok! Hopefully you and your fellow dev's can do something with this.

Hey, that's why this a support forum... helping each other is part of it.  ::)
You would think that but we've seen a lot of users who don't return to share their solutions, or even to confirm the given solutions worked. Worst, some people edit out their postings, rendering them useless, once they figure out the solution. So I don't take user contributions for granted.
Title: Re: Not really a error, but still strange....
Post by: witchdoctor on June 26, 2006, 05:54:05 pm
That's a shame, but you're right not everybody does that.
I promise hereby, next time I have troubles (hopefully not ;)) and find a solution (with or without the help of the supporters)
during the process of posting etc, I will post it so other users might benefit from it.

Oh, will you be so kind to mark this thread as solved?
