k, not bad so far.. only a couple of bug and they are both oversights. Hope things continue to go well for this gallery solution.

Bug: the user's profile block is meant to show that last 10 pics added, not just the first 10 that the query grabs--sorry.
Solution: find the function plugin_profileblocksdisplay_inmemoriam($uid) in the functions.inc file and add ORDER BY date DESC into the query. It should look like this when your done:

$result = DB_query("SELECT mid, title FROM {$INM_TABLES['media']} WHERE owner_id='$uid'" . COM_getPermSQL('and') . " ORDER BY date DESC LIMIT 10");

The next oversight was noticed by geKow--many thanks for that.
Bug: Inmemoriam makes use of a pear package that must be installed into your Geeklog system dir. If you have $_CONF['have_pear']=true; then the gallery won't find the appropriate pear package most likely as the path to Geeklog's pear dir would not get included into the php.ini..
Solution: copy this bit of code into your Inmemoriam functions.inc file somewhere near the top in the area before any functions are defined:

/*
*quick fix for geeklog's pear path not included in php.ini
*/
if ($_CONF['have_pear']){
    $curPHPIncludePath = ini_get( 'include_path' );
    if( defined( 'PATH_SEPARATOR' )){
        $separator = PATH_SEPARATOR;
    } else {
        // prior to PHP 4.3.0, we have to guess the correct separator ...
        $separator = ';';
        if( strpos( $curPHPIncludePath, $separator ) === false ){
            $separator = ':';
        }
    }
    if( ini_set( 'include_path', $_CONF['path_pear'] . $separator . $curPHPIncludePath ) === false ){
        COM_errorLog( 'ini_set failed - there may be problems using the PEAR image_transform class.', 1);
    }
}

or you could just wait for the next release for all the fixes--these ones and others that I'm sure will be found.

It looks like Inmemoriam (wich I am starting to like ) uses only the servertime, not the geeklog time.

Is there a way to change the date/time display? (eg. 13.09.2005 11:19 instead of 2005-09-13 11:10:53)

do your thumbnails work? just your fullsize that returns the error? if your thumbnails work, then nothing is wrong with your pear setup. otherwise I wonder if you dropped the pear files from the inmemoriam package into your pear dir...

by the way, I have never tested this with the cvs version of Gl.

geKow[/QUOTE]sorry geKow, I didn't read the rest of your post.
it is a simple matter for Inmemoriam to utilize Geeklogs date rather than the server date... I've put this into the next release just now. I would just give you the code but it has to go into a number of places so hopefully you don't mind waiting.

As far as your prefered format goes, I don't see that one in Gl's list of date format options. Is that your server's default format?

[QUOTE BY= trinity] no thumbnails dont work[/QUOTE]so then this is simply a path issue, specifically the path to the pear image_transform package that ships with Inmemoriam.

As I mentioned above, have you dropped the pear directory contents that shipped with Inmemoriam into your geeklog/system/pear/ directory? If you do this, and have $_CONF['have_pear'] = false;, which is default, then you shouldn't get the fatal error.

hi, i really like inmemoriam gallery - it really solved my gl gallery problems because gallery 1.x and 2 were really pain in the ass..

i'm now hacking inmemoriam to suit my needs and few suggestions to next version:
- picture and view count of album should show picture and view count of album and subalbums combined.
- if album doesn't have any pictures in it nor default thumb pic, but has subalbums, it should take thumbnail pic from a random sub-album pic.
fast hack for this starting in functions.inc at line 1477:

} elseif (DB_count($INM_TABLES['albums'], 'pid', $A['id']) >= 1) {
    // if album only contains subalbums, get random thumb from subalbum
    $TR = DB_query("SELECT id FROM {$INM_TABLES['albums']} WHERE pid='{$A['id']}'" . COM_getPermSQL('and') . " ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT 1");
    $R = DB_query("SELECT mid, filename, title FROM {$INM_TABLES['media']} WHERE aid='" . DB_result($TR,0,0) . "' " . COM_getPermSQL('and') . " ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT 1");
    list($randommid,$filename,$alttext) = DB_fetchArray($R);
    $albumthumb = $_CONF['site_url'] . '/inmemoriam/image.php?mid=' . $randommid . '&thumb=1';
    $summary->set_var('alt', stripslashes($alttext));

- by default there is topic that goes like "topic -- slogan" ($LANG_INM01[11] -- $LANG_INM01[12]) at every page. if you don't have a slogan you have to go through several php -files and remove "--" from code, if you don't want stupid outlook for your gallery ("topic --" at every page). if that would be handled by one function or something like that, it'd be easier to customize.

i might come up with more suggestions later...

and i'm working on finnish language file. i will send that when ready.

good suggestions, k616. Glad you like it and glad you're into the code! the best fixes/suggestions always come from effort like yours.

about the dashes, they can just go into the language file and problem solved.

as far as moving a pic from gallery to gallery, it isn't implemented. Entire albums can be moved, but individual pics cannot. This is already on my to do list for the next release however (as well as your other suggestions).

Yes i did.
I also have the geeklog pear libs installed.as well as server wide pear. When you set $_CONF['have_pear'] = false; all it does is add the /system/pear to the path in your php.ini. I also tried your workaround but that didnt work. If you need more information about our server set up let me know what you need and i can send it to you. I cant devulge certian server setup info in public on this forum, so email would be better to give it to you

Ok...maybe it's just late and/or I'm very tired.

I am looking forward very much to incorporate this into my site.

I cannot locate the following directories
* $_CONF['path']/plugins/inmemoriam/albums/
* $_CONF['path']/plugins/inmemoriam/thumbnails/
* $_CONF['path']/plugins/inmemoriam/scaled/
* $_CONF['path']/plugins/inmemoriam/backups/
* $_CONF['path']/plugins/inmemoriam/logs/

I found the watermarks, but not these to set to chmod777, or are these actually created on install?

All else is in, except these settings and pressing the install button on the plugins page.

if those directories were not created when you untarred or FTP'd the package (which could happen cuz they are empty dirs--i should put a dummy file in them) then you'll just have to create them manually and set their permissions properly afterward.

I have only discovered one problem that doesn't seem to have been addressed yet. In the functions.inc file on line 493, I had to change:

$sql .= " AND (UNIX_TIMESTAMP(m.date) BETWEEN '$startdate' AND '$enddate'";


to

$sql .= " AND (UNIX_TIMESTAMP(date) BETWEEN '$startdate' AND '$enddate'";


The "m." was generating an error because when you specified the database in the preceeding FROM clause, you didn't alias "media" as "m". This may only have effected users of the Site Calendar Block (I was getting a SQL error when clicking on a date in the block).

well, trin, I don't know what to tell you. If the path is good and the files are there, but the server still returns the fatal error, then it is beyond me.

Perhaps there is a difference in the cvs version of Geeklog that I'm not aware of, but I cant think of what that might be that would cause such an error when the path is good and the files exist in their proper places..

Have you tried running it on 1.3.11?
Anybody else have any ideas what would cause the path to fail?

here is another bug that just got fixed (in my working copy ).
when you accept a submission and edit it in the queue or anytime after it has been approved, the owner will change to current uid rather than the contributor.
It's a quickchange on line 280 of media.php from $_USER['uid'] to $M['owner_id'].

last bug of the day cuz I have to get some sleep.
images that are still in the submission queue are displayed in the random image block, the featured album thumb review, as well as being displayed as a representative album thumb. of course that is not good, so I fixed it. I cut 'em off!

I've got the same problem as Trinity. Images aren't showing up. Thumbnails aren't being generated. I get an error related to PEAR_Error::load. have_pear=false. The pear files are in the right place. I checked the include_path. system/pear is included. Any ideas?

By: machinari

[QUOTE BY= Dustin Flesher] Any ideas?[/QUOTE]check your file permissions as well. this worked for another person that has the same issue as trinity. I havn't heard back from trinity so I don't know if that is the prob or not.

let's just test something shall we?
*append Image/Transform.php to your $_CONF['path_pear'] and use that path in image-functions.inc on line 31 rather than simply Image/Transform.php.
For example, require_once(path/to/system/pear/Image/Transform.php);

You will have to go through image/transform.php and image/driver/gd.php at the very least and search for include_once or require_once and edit pear paths accordingly. If your issue is not a path issue, then this effort will not make any difference.
On the other hand, if this effort does work for you, then you have simply misplaced the included pear files.

after that, I have no idea. if your path is good and your files are properly placed as I've outlined in previous posts and also mentioned in the install instructions, and your permissions are such that php can access those files, then all should be well. otherwise you'll have to recheck these things.

sorry Trinity, I've just finished looking thru the CVS differences and I don't find anything that might cause this irregularity. If you have a Geeklog 1.3.11sr1 release available on your server setup, see if you have the same issues with Inmemoriam on that install.

I'm using 1.3.11sr1. I also am not using the standard file path scheme. That is, I'm not mapping the base url name to Geeklog's public_html. I suspect we've got a relative path problem somewhere.

Trinity and Dustin, geeklog utilizes the pear mail package in the same way as what we are trying to accomplish. Does your site send mail without any path issues?

[QUOTE BY= dustin]I checked the include_path. system/pear is included[/QUOTE]just checking, your include path shows the full path to pear and not just system/pear, right?

indulge me guys, check that the following path is valid on your systems:
$_CONF['path_pear'] . Image/Transform/Driver/GD.php

for the $_CONF['path_pear'], please use the path as you see it in your include_path.

all that stuff aside, cuz i'm sure you're tired of checking and rechecking your paths and permissions... The only other thing that would cause your issue is if you're running without the GD library at all (cant help you here), or if you are running GD1 or the non-bundled version of GD2 (easy fix).

Hello again, machinari

I've found a small bug that's only noticeable if you have set error_reporting(E_ALL)
File: admin/plugins/inmemoriam/index.php
When you call functions inm_scan1, inm_scan2, inm_scan3 and inm_scan4, you pass $T as reference

 inm_scan1($valid,&$T);

. This generates 4 warnings like "Call-time pass-by-reference" is deprecated.
You can simply remove "&" in function calls

 inm_scan1($valid,$T);

, as you have already defined the references in functions definition

 function inm_scan1($valid,&$T){}

.

Hope this helps

I must say that I'm nowhere near qualified to make head nor tail of code. (If you're running a multi-area OSPF environment, or even IS-IS, I'm your man...)

Can anyone help me with this?

to beat the server timeout, you have two choices...
*Increase the max_execution_time using ini_set() if you have safe mode off
*or reduce the number of images that are being processed.

to reduce the number of images that are being processed per run, do this:
find the function inm_generateStatic() in admin/index.php.
then find the following lines near the end of the function (line 882ish):

            if ($t >= 300){
                break 2;
            }
            if ($i >= 200){
                break 2;
            }

change the 300 to 99 (33 images made into 99 thumbs) and change the 200 to 100 (100 scaled images) depending on which is giving you the trouble. mess around with the numbers. subsequent runs will pick up where the last left off.

hmm.. you could probably put set_time_limit(n) into the beginning of the function and that would add n seconds to the allowable time the script has to run.. I've never done that though. Maybe I should, let me know how it goes.

keep in mind, though static images no longer have to be resized, they still have to be read into the page, so it still isn't going to be as fast as if the images were static and simply linked to in a public dir. That is one of the fallbacks of this script (for those concerned with speed over security).

I seem to be having the same issue as trinity and dustin. For a recap: Images do not load, error message on attempt to view full image, pear=false, paths are correct, using version 1.3.11 (note not sr1)

sr1 wouldn't affect any of this.

GD2 is bundled with PHP5, but a couple of necessary libraries may still be missing from your configuration: libpng and libjpeg at least.
See this discussion[*1] and then go to the PHP page[*2] for more info on where to obtain necessary files and how to install/configure them.

An easier solution would be to install NetPBM or ImageMagick, but I've not finished integrating that code yet...

I can tell you that I do have gd2 installed, and am fairly sure that it works although I don't know how to test it. These other libraries seem moot however as I even tried using it with gifs and those do not display either (yes I did enable them in the inmemoriam config file) So therefore we know that php5 probably is not the issue here, and I would guess that some pople using apache2 have gotten it to work as well, but what about windows?

[QUOTE BY= Rob]When I try to delete it in windows it says that it is currently in use[/QUOTE]that is a windows error, and has little to do with the script. perhaps the album was in use in another window or something like that. If you're using the gallery to delete an album that the gallery created, the only way you'll get that type of error is if, in fact, the directory is in use by some other windows process.

I assume you're running a windows server (whatever it's called these days)? But (watch for disclaimer), I'm not a server guy so maybe one of these other gurus might have an answer.

Ah, so it was. That still leaves me with the minor problem of the images never displaying. I simply get a square box with a question mark inside. I'm completely baffled by this problem but would like to figure it out. I guess then the correct route to take would be to test each part individually. Can anyone post code (or a link to it) that would allow me to test to see if the gd2 plugin works? Also just to let you know I still consider myself a php newbie so go easy one me.

hi, new user and I really like your gallery plug-in!

Couple questions, not really "bugs"

1. i would like to resize the text under the random picture in the menu box (Browse and Favorites links).

2. I was also wondering, in the galleries under the pics where you have the credit, size, etc. is there a way to modify that. I would like to have the captions instead.

Thanks!

[QUOTE BY= Rob] I'm completely baffled by this problem but would like to figure it out.[/QUOTE]Me too, and I will continue to search for a solution until one is found--please bear with me/us.

Rob, if you receive the same error as Trinity, i.e, "Fatal error: Call to undefined function: load() in ...", then the potential lack of any GD2 function/library is not the issue--yet, because the script isn't even getting to the GD extension. The problem is, for an unknown reason, that the image_transform package is not being found by the script even though it seems to be making it into the include_path--at least for the few of you.

I'm going to go rant about this in another forum and see If I can dig something up. The issue for me is that I'm not sitting at your computer where I could just check things based upon other things that I may see..

2. I was also wondering, in the galleries under the pics where you have the credit, size, etc. is there a way to modify that. I would like to have the captions instead.[/QUOTE]if you're refering to the thumbnail pages, that bit is not configurable... you will have to edit some PHP.

here we go. find inm_albumThumbs() in browse.php.
find the comment "begin loop".
inside that "while" loop, anywhere in the top-half, add the following line:

            $T->set_var('caption', COM_stripslashes($TH['caption']));

now add the template variable, {caption}, to your thumbs.thtml file and either delete or comment out the ones you don't want (in the template file).

Any way to scale down the theme box size (eg. shade, light, rose, etc). I notice they will scale up when a long caption is put in, which is awesome!

Ok I went through and I tested to see if putting an exact path into image-functions.inc would change anything, and it didn't, so then I just took the entire line out to see what would happen, and as expected I get a php error saying that it can't find the functions included in transform.php. Therefore I have to assume that the code is at least getting there to know what the functions are, which allows me to call them. Don't know if that helps any...
But I also have the complete error that I get when I attempt to view a photo in "full image" mode.

I was thinking I would like to shorten (vertically) the size of the theme area (shade, light, rose, etc.) around a thumbnail in the thumbnail pages just enough to encapsulate the thumbnail itself and the caption (from the edit you showed me earlier) and nothing more.

I haven't looked at it, hatric, but if you remove any height specification in the .inm-thumbnail rule in your inmemoriam.css, then that should give you what you want, but be warned, your rows may not return properly after a break depending on the final height of one div compared to the next. test it out and hopefully you won't see what I mean.

*Increase the max_execution_time using ini_set() if you have safe mode off
*or reduce the number of images that are being processed.

to reduce the number of images that are being processed per run, do this:
find the function inm_generateStatic() in admin/index.php.
then find the following lines near the end of the function (line 882ish):

            if ($t >= 300){
                break 2;
            }
            if ($i >= 200){
                break 2;
            }

change the 300 to 99 (33 images made into 99 thumbs) and change the 200 to 100 (100 scaled images) depending on which is giving you the trouble. mess around with the numbers.

Well, I gave this a shot... I took the settings down incrementally till I got to 3 and 2. No joy.

[QUOTE BY= machinari]

I tried this, but I didn't know exactly what I was doing... well, actually I hadn't a clue. I tossed this right under the "global" line where it is pulling in variables (i'm guessing). I did know enough to change the "n" to a value; I chose 60 for the fun of it. Have I mentioned I know no programming and little about web design.

Anyway, no good there either. It still takes 30 seconds and then ends out.

Update on the machine on which this is running. It's not quite as bad as I thought. PIII 733 256MB PC133 memory. Running Ubuntu Linux, no X.

When I click on the generate buttons, the processor utilization jumps to >90%, but I never use up all my memory.

Any other suggestions? I'll let the process run all night if I have to... I just want to get this to generate the thumbs. Let me know if I can post anything else. It's a vanilla install on a clean Linux install too...

Yes, I know they will still need to populate on the page, but it'll be a heck of a lot faster than what I'm seeing now, I'm sure.

after you get the "execution timeout" error, go to your directory and see if any images were actually processed. If there have been no thumbnails, and/or no scaled images created at all, then the issue probably isn't with the script, but more likely with the graphics library or with the images themselves. But I would need more info before I could say that conclusively.

What I can say is this: it doesn't take 30 seconds to resize one image.
What is the average size of your images? ...and does everything else seem to work ok?

The directories in question would be:

geeklog/plugins/inmemoriam/scaled/
&
geeklog/plugins/inmemoriam/thumbnails/

I have directories called "1" at both of those locations. Both of the "1" directories do have files populated in them, they are quite small in size, so it looks like things are working.

I moved the data out of those directories and tried again to populate the thumbs. It generated 16 files, 5 sets of three and it looked like it started to loop through for a sixth image before it timed out.

Here is the pertinent part of geeklog/plugins/inmemoriam/admin/index.php (I think) to show it should only be looping once.

            }
            if ($t >= 3){
                break 2;
            }
            if ($i >= 2){
                break 2;

Version info follows:

Geeklog: 1.3.11sr1
Inmemoriam : Inmemoriam v 0.8.5 plug-in for Geeklog
PHP4-GD: 4.3.10-1
PHP4-imagick was not installed... it is now (0.9.7-1.3)

Need any other versions, let me know.

            if ($i >= 1){
                break 2;
            }

The script should not continue looping thru images after the first one has been processed.

is that one image at least being processed? anymore than that? If more than one is being process then your script is messed up somehow. If not, then you'll have to get me your GDlib version so that I can check the appropriate save() function. However you probably have 2.x bundled with your PHP 4.3 and so there shouldn't be a problem with that.

If you would rather use ImageMagick, you'll have to wait for my next release as it is not complete in the release you are using.

Inmemoriam bug report

Yes, it does loop through multiple images until it times out.

I'd be happy to post my index.php... but it's not been edited other than as requested by you here.

Let me ask you this, if it times out does that matter? I mean, if I let it time out and then run it again... over and over again until all the files are done, will it work as it is supposed to?

Point me to a method to get a version of GDlib and it's yours.

Regarding using imagemagick, I wouldn't know the difference if it were staring me in the face. I just want it to work... what's under the hood only matters when the car isn't runnin'.

yup, it will still work. the processing will begin with the first image it finds that has not yet been processed. so whether it times out or not, the process goes on.

I'm boggled why the loop wouldn't break as it should. I'll have to take a closer look at that function to see where it may have a issue. If I find anything I'll let you know. At least we know that it isn't the image class--that would suck.

If you use the Auto: Scan and Apply button on the Directory Administration page, the folder names that your media is in is used as the album name and ID.

However, if you create a new album yourself, it looks like the ID defaults to the serial number for now()

The reason I was not able to edit my albums was because I used the auto function to create all the albums and the folder names my media was in contained hyphens, which appear to be illegal characters for the ID field.

I would suggest using the serial number for now() rather than the folder names for the album id in the Auto: Scan and Apply function.

Additionally, is there not a way to sort albums in descending order rather than ascending? My album names are dates and I would prefer newer media to appear at the top of the page.

First off let Me say I LOVE this plugin. Installation went smooth following the docs but I have run into a wall involving the creation of albums/uploading of media.

If I use the interface to create albums, they are created no problem but they are owned by 'apache'. If I then try to upload images to them (still via the interface) the uploads always fail with the following message:



The file size is not an issue but I'm betting that permissions are what's hangin me.

When I use the FTP method of creating and uploading albums/media and then use the scan functions to pull them into the database, everything is golden.

Could this be a SAFE mode issue?

Some stats FYI:

PHP version: 4.3.10
Apache version: Apache/2.0.53
(and sadly) SAFE mode: ON

Any insight/suggestions hugely appreciated.

that error is returned when either your upload dir (your album dir) or your inmemoriam log dir cannot be opened for writing. Adjust your permissions on those directories per the install doc.

on line 193 and 218 of inmUpload.class1.php find @fopen and remove the @ symbol. try your upload again to find a error returned to your browser if fopen is the issue.

if it is infact a safe mode issue, check your server log to find something like the following: "Warning: SAFE MODE Restriction in effect..." More info will be displayed as to the particular issue. probably a basedir restriction or something like that.

Hello.

I cannot tell if it's a bug or my mistake somewhere, but it seems a good place to mention my situation.

I have installed geeklog 1.3.11sr1. I have installed Inmemoriam 0.8.5. I installed it according to html file inside the docs directory.

Things that do not work:
1. http://nihils.net/admin/plugins/inmemoriam/index.php?cfg=manftp (Directories) returns double error: 403 + 404.
2. Thumbnails for Albums are not being uploaded.
3. Adding new files to albums ends with an error file alredy exists in that album - it doesn't.

I was trying to find any information on similar problems but I haven't found anything that would help me.

I do need your advice. Thank you.

Posted on: 10/13/05 06:25pm
By: machinari

the 404 often will follow a 403 naturally... the 403, access forbidden, is indicative of a permissions problem. If you've uploaded media via FTP, for example, the script cannot work on it unless permissions are set that would allow the php script to access it. The usage doc should cover this.

If you are not getting any thumbnails, have a look at the other image sizes, particularly the full size image, which should return an error of some kind. please report that error.

the "file already exists in that album" error doesn't exist.
It should say "filename already exists in database for specified album" or "filename already exists in album's directory." Accordingly, ensure that you are checking for the existence of your file in the appropriate place, i.e., the database and/or the file system. Use the database tools from the admin page to check your stuff. This kind of thing occurs when uploads and/or the script have been interupted for whatever reason, or when stuff is moved around manually leaving the script out of the loop, so to speak, etc.

[/QUOTE]this is the first time i've heard anybody wanting this type of ordering. not that that matters.

I don't think that I'll be making this a feature, but if you are bent on sorting by filename, you'll have to get into the code. try this:
find this line in browse.php in the function inmAlbumThumbs()

    $result = DB_query("SELECT *" . $rateExpr . " FROM {$INM_TABLES['media']} WHERE aid='{$A['id']}' AND status='0'" . COM_getPermSQL('and') . $orderby . $offset);

and change it to read like this

    $result = DB_query("SELECT *" . $rateExpr . " FROM {$INM_TABLES['media']} WHERE aid='{$A['id']}' AND status='0'" . COM_getPermSQL('and') . ' ORDER BY filename ASC' . $offset);

I just installed the plugin.
I'm having the same problem that others have with the missing load() funciton.

The problem started at instalation when the install script didn't find "Image/Transform.php". From what i could see it was not looking in the correct location which is "pear/Image/Transform.php".

Looking at geeklogs config i see that the pear directory is set :

$_CONF['path_pear'] = $_CONF['path_system'] . 'pear/';

but image-functions.inc does not seem to use "$_CONF['path_pear']", it just calls :

require_once ('Image/Transform.php');

which obviously is not there.

If anyone knows what I'm doing wrong i would appreciate a heads up.

[QUOTE BY= Robin]Any Ideas how to fix it [/QUOTE]you can place the "for" attribute before the "class" attribute and see if the validator reads it differently. My guess is that this is a bug in the validator because I don't see any wrong with it. To get rid of the error, just remove the "for" attribute altogether--it isn't absolutely necessary in this case anyway and should validate fine without it.

sorry my bad. just remove the "for" attribute. It is to be associated with the input's ID attribute rather than the "name" attribute. That means you'll find this error in validation in all your admin editors etc as well.

Hi, just installed Inmemoriam 0.8.5 on Apache 2 and PHP 5.0.4, Geeklog 1.3.11sr1.

Everything seems to work perfectly - thumbs are created, albums are created, etc - but I cannot see any images. All permissions seem fine to me.
Read through this post, but nothing seems the same. Any ideas would be nice.

Cheers,

Euan.

you can see thumbnails? but not scaled or full size images?
do you get an error when you click on full size?

so far the most common issue causing this problem has been that the pear files are not making it into the php include path. Usually this is caused by people not reading the install doc and/or needing the fix that is specified in the first post of this thread.

anyway, tommorrow the upgrade should be out. Perhaps one of the billion bug fixes in there will do you.

No, no images/thumbs are visible. All appear broken.
Thumbs ARE being created though - I can see them in the albums folder, just not when I view anything.
I followed instructions to the letter, and am sure that there is nothing wrong with the setup. I'll wait for tomorrows release though before spending more time on this.

Cheers,

Euan.

I'm not sure if it's connected to Inmemoriam but the only PEAR changes made lately were related to Inmemoriam.

I managed to track the problem down to the stage where the user needs to get his pass via mail.

/system/pear/Mail.php calls require_once 'PEAR.php';

This is where it fails and returns Cannot redeclare class pear in /home/WWW/megira/system/pear/PEAR.php on line 0

I have just commented out your "quick fix for geeklog's pear path not included in php.ini" and it all works ok.

please advise.

I probably should have thought of this, but let's limit the call to pear to the script that will actually use it rather than having the path included every time any page is loaded. Take the pear include stuff from the functions.inc file and place it just above the require_once ('Image/Transform.php'); in the image-functions.inc file.

That will fix your problem, and it just might fix Trinity's problem also. As I was debugging this, I was finally able to reproduce Trinity's issue on my own box and fixed it by doing the above.
I've only been able to reproduce the issue on a windows box however, *nix just seems to always work.

Close to the begining of this thread a user (k616) asked about a parent album not showing the # of items (from sub albums):


"- picture and view count of album should show picture and view count of album and subalbums combined."


Currently my parent albums show 0 items even with subalbums within. Can you help?

                            }

                        while ($sRA = DB_fetchArray($sR)){

Thanks for the help above...

Another ? for you. When writing a loooooong caption/description for a picture/album the text does not "word wrap" (so to speak) and keeps widening the page to hold the single line of text. Is there a way to have it automatically break to the next line at say 100 characters or something of the like?

Also, a suggestion: In the "jump to" drop down box I increased the character count from the default 12 up to 50. Not a real big deal, but does make it easier to read for those with longer album titles. And along that line... in the text that populates the drop down box (album and subalbum titles) is there a way to bold the text of the parent album?

thanks,
/hatric

[QUOTE BY= hatric]When writing a loooooong caption/description for a picture/album the text does not "word wrap"[/QUOTE]I can't think of why this would happen unless you have no spaces in your caption. Must be a style issue. Got a page for me to have a look at?

[QUOTE BY= hatric]in the text that populates the drop down box (album and subalbum titles) is there a way to bold the text of the parent album?[/QUOTE]yes. good idea. here's how you can do it: find the function inm_showintro() in the funcitons.inc file and find this line:

                $albumoptions .= '<option value="' . $A['id'] . '">' . $album . '</option>' . LB;

and change it to this:

                $albumoptions .= '<option style="font-weight:bold;" value="' . $A['id'] . '">' . $album . '</option>' . LB;

or you could add a class name and then put your style into the CSS--that's probably what I'll do.. Coloring the parent albums might be an idea as well.

Warning: imagick_setcompressionquality() expects parameter 1 to be resource, null given in /var/www/geeklog/system/pear/Image/Transform/Driver/Imagick2.php on line 261[/QUOTE]My bad, I neglected to consider that instead of specifying a library in your geeklog config file's $_CONF['image_lib'], some might just leave it empty, which it is by default.
The easy way to fix this is to specify a library in your Geeklog config.php file according to the comments contained therein.
The not so easy way would be to edit the pear file, system/pear/image/transform.php as follows:
find the following bit

    function &factory($driver)
    {
		if ('' == $driver) {
            $aExtensions = array(
                'imagick' => 'Imagick2',
                'gd'      => 'GD',
                'imlib'   => 'Imlib');
            foreach ($aExtensions as $sExt => $sDriver) {
                if (PEAR::loadExtension($sExt)) {
                    $driver = $sDriver;
                    break;
                }

and just rearrange the extension array like so

    function &factory($driver)
    {
		if ('' == $driver) {
            $aExtensions = array(
                'gd'     => 'GD',
                'imagick' => 'Imagick2',
                'imlib'   => 'Imlib');
            foreach ($aExtensions as $sExt => $sDriver) {
                if (PEAR::loadExtension($sExt)) {
                    $driver = $sDriver;
                    break;
                }

the imagick and imlib extensions are not supported.

My bad on the caption, when I was typing in the text I did not use spaces - I am a dumba$$ at times


The bolding of the album titles you suggested did not work, nothing changed in apperance.


and... I thought of another question for you. In the random picture block, is there a way to describe, underneath the thumbnail, text to tell which album the picture came from? e.g. "From the XXX Album"


and... When using the slideshow there is no "exit" button to kill it and return to the gallery... or am I missing something?


and... I would like to set the default order of albums to date ascending rather than date decending.


and... and thats enough for now!

Cool! worked great!!

next... (am I annoying you yet?? )

I set my thumbnail page to a default of 64 T-nails to a page. When I open the first picture it comes up fine... I use the little arrow (pointing to the right) to advance to the next picture, and this works good for 15 to 16 images before the green arrow dissapears and the only link left is the "slideshow" link. Seems there is a cut-off at 16 (the default images per page #?). Is there a setting to get past this "limit?"

thanks

the thumbs per page setting is completely separate from the pagination for scaled images so no need to look there for a solution.

that said, I'm at a loss for a solution being that I am unable to reproduce this behaviour.

things to check: do you have more than 15 or 16 images in the album? sure that it was the first image you clicked on to start or was it the 15th from the end? does this behaviour occur for every album? and only when thumbs per page are set to 64? It would help if I could see your gallery--shoot me an email if you want to keep it private.

Inmemoriam bug report - edit of images changes owner's ID

Posted on: 11/09/05 05:19am
By: Robin

OK here's the thing with 0.8.5. Hopefully nobody's mentioned it yet as I checked for this one.
I had to edit images posted by a user and afterwards I noticed that the author/owner changed from the user into myself
So there is something in the SQL that updates photos.
I had to go to the DB and change owner_id back to user's.

Probably the same applies to albums but I haven't checked it.

Robin, here's a hint when you want to find out why an image won't show: click on the "full view" link and if there is a problem with the image or the font, as in this case, you should have an error come up that will at least give you a starting place.

So, having clicked on your text watermarked image, I see that the script cannot find the font. Check the font path in Inmemoriam's config file and then check that the font physically exists in that path. We'll go from there.

[QUOTE BY= machinari] I probably should have thought of this, but let's limit the call to pear to the script that will actually use it rather than having the path included every time any page is loaded. Take the pear include stuff from the functions.inc file and place it just above the require_once ('Image/Transform.php'); in the image-functions.inc file.

That will fix your problem, and it just might fix Trinity's problem also. As I was debugging this, I was finally able to reproduce Trinity's issue on my own box and fixed it by doing the above.
I've only been able to reproduce the issue on a windows box however, *nix just seems to always work. [/QUOTE]

I had same issue as these two but running on Linux (core 4). I ran dos2unix on image-functions.inc after discovering it was dos file while about to add fix suggested to it

works like a charm now

OK here's the thing.
Random image in the block should show the alt description of an image, that is currently it's title. And this works under IE and in Firefox 1.0.7 it doesn't.
You need to add

title="' . $alt . '"

to the function inm_getRandomMedia, located in functions.inc

what version are you using Robin? Both the alt and title attributes are set in the cvs version of inm_getRandomMedia().

Just so you are all informed, assuming you are still subscribed to this ridiculously long thread, both Inmemoriam 1.0.1 for GL 1.3.11[*9] , and 1.0.1 for GL 1.4[*10] have been public for a short while and no issues have been reported to me..

See this list of features[*11] .

Hi my install works wonderfully.

until i try to FTP files.

I can not FTP into the /albums/top_level_album directory. I am sure this is becuase the album directory is owned by nobody:nobody

so i created a directory inside /albums/ and called it "test". I then added an created and album using inmemoriam and put "test" for the album ID.

I then uploaded all my files to the /albums/test directory.

After that i did a directory scan. nothing.

So i changed all the permissions & ownerships to what the other albums are and redid a scan. nothing.

How do i FTP files up??

What should the permissions & ownership be?

Thanks,

Kelly

---- This was an email from Alford ----

You should not add any images to the albums/ directory itself as this is just an organizing container for all created albums. Your usage document should make this clear.

Beyond that, this seems to be clearly a permissions issue.
Things to consider:

First: ensure that your albums directory has its permissions set according to the install instructions.

Second: having created a "test" album via FTP, and then creating an album using "test" as the ID should have returned an "album already exists" error due to the fact that an album's ID corresponds to its directory name on the server.

Third: It seems that in some cases, for reasons to boring to get into, an album directory as well as any items contained in that directory need to have permissions adjusted when that directory and/or media belonging to that directory has been created via FTP. Some servers are setup in such a way that anything accomplished via FTP is not readable via PHP and, less often, vice versa.


One other unlikely possibility: ensure that your $INM_CONF['path_albums'] is equal to that path wherein you are placing your media.

Correct I am putting it into the albums/album_id/ folder not the albums directory



triple checked. I can add via the web without a issue.



I did not receive a "album already exists" error message. and again I tried the same steps.
1. create albums/test directory
2. via web do create album with the album id of "test"
no error and I can see the album
However I can not add media to the "test" album via the web, it says "filename already exists in album's directory" but via telnet it is not there.




What are the specific permission & ownership settings. even when I change it back to nobody:nobody it doesn't work.

I did this as another test.
1. I created an album
2. I added media via the web.
3. I wrote down all the permissions for the file & directory
4. I changed the ownership of just the directory to a user that could FTP to that directory
5. I changed the group & all sub files back to the original ownership & group "nobody:nobody"
6. I scan directories.
7. 0 Media files found.
8. I attempted to add another file via "add media" worked fine.



this is correctly set.
$INM_CONF['path_albums'] = $_CONF['path'] . 'plugins/inmemoriam/albums/';


What should i do next?

I should tell you i am runing on;

UNIX / FreeBSD
Dedicated Server
Running WHM / cPanel


Thanks,
Kelly

I have set all the permissions to 777 for albums and everything below.

This should be the widest permissions set possible.

Still not working.

It simply says 0 media found.

Am i missing something simple here?

Media must conform to those media types that are defined in Inmemoriam's config.php--perhaps that is the issue.

try these steps...
- create an album via the album editor
- note the ID (that will be your folder name)
- find that folder on the server and add your media via FTP
- ensure perms reflect 777 for all items you've created via FTP
- run your scan.

do not create an album twice as you've noted previously... creating an album via FTP and then an album by the same ID via the editor should be returning an error, but I neglected that potentiality in the code apparently. The error will be generated if the ID is already recorded in the database however.

Note: the scan function should be able to detect any accessible folders as well as accessible media items within those folders. That said, if your paths are ok and your perms are fine, then I have no idea why your scan is returning "0 media items found."

my bad, just found the problem...
when I added support for video, audio, etc. I neglected to complete my changes in the ftp functions..

in your public_html/admin/plugins/inmemoriam/index.php find every instance of "in_array" and replace with "array_key_exists" .. no need to make any other changes.

that's it. works now. In a few hours I'll put up a fixed file at summitpages.ca.

That worked for me. Yipee!!

I did notice a few other things;

1. it recongnizes .mpeg but not .mpg, i had to rename all my files to .mpeg.

2. When i push play for a video it forces me to download rather than play in the browser or in a browser popup. --- this would be a nice User preference where the user can choose popup,same window, or download. (this only happens for wmv, other wise my quicktime plays it in the browser, but its not HTML based)

3. When i play the slideshow i completly loose the geeklog layout. it becomes a plain grey background with no layout components at all. And i have to press back many times to get to the original screen or click on the image.

4. As admin i can not vote or leave a comment. As a "logged-in user" i can vote but i still can not see the post comment section.

5. I created a members uploads which works fine, but the watermarking only allows me to seclet "default watermark"


Feature Requests;

1. Ability to assign specific thumbnails for videos

2. Jave Slideshow like in Media gallery --- Nice user preference again

3. Ability to turn on/off displying picture details under the thumbnails & images

4. Ability to allow users to only vote once per image

5. Ability to sort by filename

6. Ability to set to disable right click save image.

7. Ability to set watermark permissions for members adding media

8. Ability to make all member submitted files have a default watermark.




I cant think of anymore and i am sure some of these have probably been asked for before.


I must say this is the absolute best plug-in..

THANKS SO MUCH!!!

Kelly, you need to take a quick look around the software and the usage doc. many of your features and/or issues are taken care of by just reading the doc including your video file extension, comment and rating functions, default sort, splash screen, album thumbnail, and some others.

voting isn't allowed for your own media. quick change in the code is all it would take to change this if you like.
The comment engine is disabled by default--look for it in the album editor.

the slideshow template file is easily editable however you like. image details can be removed from the template file if you like, etc.
I don't like the java slideshow

etc., etc.

using a particular image/frame for a video thumb is on my list

as far as using a plugin to play video/audio or downloading to play, I went with the latter because of my personal preference and also my unwillingness to download a 30 meg plugin just so I can use quicktime in my browser to watch a 2 meg file. You have to download it anyway whether it plays in the browser or not. I would stream it if I knew everybody's server was setup the same way.

Yes actually i noticed a lot of the stuff as I was playing with the plugin. my bad for not reading everything first.

i adjusted my list above already. I will keep looking and see what else i have missed.

As for the video, yes i meant streaming.

And for the slideshow it would be nice as a user preference.

thanks again. killer plugin.
