Hey again!

WoW! Quite a few questions... And here are the answers :)

I have already tried to open up a new server area, and add just a few categories, and then the "Edit Cats" does work... Also tried refreshing the script, trying to get another... Nothing has worked...



Try to duplicate the error on the new server, you've probably already done this. (if not try adding several hundred directories and see if it locks up the same way)

If it still locks up it probably isn't a problem with the script. (might be a problem with XP)

If it doesn't lock up I would consider doing the following:
1) replace the categories.php with a clean version
2) if (1) doesn't work I would consider a clean re-install.
3) I would also download the batch upload module it makes life easier when creating a lot of directories or uploading hundreds of images.

I can add Categories :) I am able to add quite a few in fact, but I don't, because I can't edit them to where they must go...

This would mean that if there is a problem with categories.php it is probably only the section that relates to editing or appending the database.

Edit Categories was working once upon a time... It's actually just after I found I had a virus on my computer (gone now) that I realised it never worked (hadn't been online in ages to add/edit any cats tho) So it culd be virus-related...

Could be related -- might consider a clean install.

I am running on Windows XP, on my own server... You may say the Windows XP is unstable or something, but why did it ever work then? :)


Sorry not an XP fan, but thats what you have to deal with ... c'est la vie.
So are you running something like cygwin with Apache server  or what?
Or are you running the Microsoft server?
Have you had any issues with connectivity to mysql?

Hopefully we can nail this problem down.

Hey MBlond

Thank you for replying!
Well, basically, I am running this script from my home computer, because I currently don't have a site that can take PHP files...
I am currently on Internet Explorer 6... So I don't think that's the prob :P
If you need anymore info, I will be happy to give it to you!
If you want to e-mail me rather, then post again, and I'll mail you!

Thanx again

And reply soon

Cheers =)

Marc


No problem.

Ok so you are running it on your own system:
Some questions:
First I should probably ask.....

What have you already tried ?

Then .....
Please clarify: Can you "Add categories" ?

When you are viewing the photo album does it hang when you are browsing through categories?

Was Edit categories ever working ?

At what point did you notice it stopped working?

Were there any modifications or changes you made between the time it was working and when it began to hang ?

Are there any other portions of the 4images that are not working correctly?

Currently I am running Apache on a Linux box and have had no problems.
What webserver are you running and on what platform -- windows XX ?

Is anyone interested in working on a module whereby the Administrator can select custom login/logout pages and session timeout pages?

I have started work on this but my knowledge of php is very limited, I do however have a programming / engineering background.

Any takers?

Installation, Update & Configuration / Category Limit!?
« on: November 19, 2002, 04:31:14 PM »
Currently I have around 700 categories and no problems.
I believe I also saw a post, somewhere ... not sure where, with over 1000 categories.

As far as any variables that limit the creation of categories, I have not come across any.  But I have just started customizing 4images --

BTW:  I dont know how you have been creating categories but if you use the "batch upload", a modification under "Mods" you can create mass directories then upload them with or without images contained.

If I remember correctly, browsers have a page size limit -- so perhaps if you are using an older browser this could be an issue.

Does your system hang at any other point, say while checking for large numbers of images ?

Will try to help if I can, providing additional info about your system and or configuration might help.

regards,
mblond

Discussion & Troubleshooting / Custom Log Out Page
« on: November 18, 2002, 08:48:02 PM »
I want to create a custom logout page.

I was able to create page forwarding by including a url to a custom page
in logout.php, however if I click the back button then refresh I get the default login page.  

I tried editing home.html however this also effects the users interface when first logging in.  

Is there a way to call specific login and logout pages , replacing the default?

Any ideas on how to change the default login page and or the default logout page?

Regards,
mblond

I am new to this forum but have been working on customizing 4images for some time.

I would like to be able to create multiple lightboxes each with a differnt name, thus enabling another way customers could potentially organize photos.

What we are doing is keeping all customer accounts private with no sharing rights. But we would like our customers to be able to organize their images into categories. We could create 5,10,15 etc... categories for each customer then only give viewing and editing rights to that individual. This, however, causes the list of categories to become extremely large as your customer base increases.

So, what I would like to do, is enable the customer to choose to add an image to one of several different "Lightboxes", maybe called "Family", "Friends", "Special Occasions" ...etc. It seems this would take considerable coding, but perhaps it can be done by duplicating and renaming some of the php and or html files.

I have a programming background but am not really familiar with php, and have been able to figure out how to do most of what I need.

Any help or guidance with the creation of multiple lightboxes or customer defined categories would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

mblond,
since many people encounter those error messages, including me, I hope you can post your solutions to them.

Best regards

Arura,
I assume you are talking about the error messages listed from my post
Posted: 14.11.2002, 21:06.

At the end of this post I say:

Hmmm ..... Maybe I missed something.
In order for this to work you have to upload a full directory with the images contained within that directory. -- Even better.
I was uploading just the images.

I will leave this post up in the event someone else has this same problem.

Recap:  
Lessons Learned: You must upload a full directory into your admin/plugins
directory, or the location designated by you in variable:  
Code: [Select]
$data_src_path if you just upload images into the admin/plugins directory then you will get the errors I recieved.
Hope this clarifies.

If this does not help, post your particular problem.

I would like to be able to insert a user id from within the control panel rather than having a default_user_id in the php script this way I can change the userid for the each batch of images being uploaded.  Without having to edit the php file each time.

I have programming experience but am just getting familiar with php any help in getting this done would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.


I figured out how to do this let me know if you are interested, if there seems to be interest I will post it.
