Beta r374

November 2, 2005 at 8:53 pm · Filed under Releases

373 is gone due to a small bug, 374 is now out.

So, r374 is out, download it over here: http://
photostack.org/releases/beta-newest.zip

I removed the .svn directories for those of you that hated me for it.

Check the release notes for specifics. However, let me say that this is a kickin’ release. We’ve got mult-file javasript enhanced uploads (from over here, additional template functions (that were missing), and a beautification in the default template, thanks to Brant Winter.

Also, make sure to check out “Lines” over at Blurg. Love the toons.

Let me know of any issues, big or small.

    Hey thanks for the linkback to my toon site Noel! Glad you like ‘em.

    A question: Are there any instructions anywhere on how to update an installation of PhotoStack? What files to safely overwrite etc?

    thanks.

    Hmm, well “svn update” is the easiest way to update, but you have to use svn.

    The only folder you really need, unless you’ve changed others is the “galleries” folder and remember any settings that you’ve set in config.main.php

    That should be about it.

    Thanks Noel. I’m using OSX not Linux, so I went with your second suggestion. It all works fine. Thanks!

    And keep up the great work!

    Noel, excellent work, although a couple issues for me:

    Typo on image upload dialog help box - ‘… in the “File to be Uploade” list.’

    I get the following error when editing gallery and trying to change Thumbnail:

    http://localhost/photostack/organize.php?action=view&gallery=./jam
    Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at C:\XAMPP\xampp\htdocs\photostack\includes\admin.class.php:408) in C:\XAMPP\xampp\htdocs\photostack\includes\admin.class.php on line 409

    Also, one of the uploaded images shows as broken in admin even though it displays OK in the gallery (name of image causing problems is ‘herr%20house%20close.jpg’).

    Finally, with no galleries or images loaded the galleries view shows ‘(showing 1-0 of 0)’.

    Same results with remote server (let me know if you want details / access).

    I’m not familiar with Web Standard positioning and I’d like to ask for help. On main page, where gallery thumbnails appears.

    Defalut thumbnails order is:

    Gallery1 Gallery 2 Gallery 3 Gallery 4

    Gallery 5 Gallery 6 …

    I’d like to have:

    Gallery1 Descripition for gallery1

    Gallery2 Description for gallery2

    Gallery3 Descripiton for gallery3

    ….

    I couldn’t figure out dispaly decription next to thumbnail. It’s still appear under thumnails.

    Thank you in advance.

    After some extensive testing, I have the following comments:

    1. There seems to be some major issues regarding naming schemes. For example, when naming a new sub-gallery, what characters may I use? A name such as ‘Mom+Dad’ results in ‘Mom Dad’ (The plus is missing). While ‘Mom&Dad’ results in ‘Mom’.

    This is not a limitation of the file system as I can create these names using shell access. Using + and & characters should be permissible.

    2. This strange behavior continues with the names of pictures you upload. Depending on what characters you use, it has the following effect:

    Both ‘Name+Etc.jpg’ or ‘Name&Etc.jpg’ results in not being able to select that name for a thumbnail for that gallery. Instead of showing the thumbnail, it simply says “Sample image from gallery�

    3. Lastly, re-naming continues to not function correctly. As stated in my previous version post, trying to re-name any gallery (empty or not) results in the following error:

    http://www.mydomain.net/album/organize.php?action=view&gallery=./new57
    Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/user/public_html/album/includes/admin.class.php:408) in /home/user/public_html/album/includes/admin.class.php on line 409

    I still think its great software with some wonderful potential. I hope these bugs can be ironed out soon. Best of luck.
