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 â€˜Name+Etc.jpgâ€™ or â€˜Name&Etc.jpgâ€™ results in not being able to select that name for a thumbnail for that gallery. Instead of showing the thumbnail, it simply says â€œSample image from galleryâ€?

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.

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.

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).

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!

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.

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.
