Well, they will only work if you don't use hardcoded paths (which I don't know). You should use defines, in this case the constant USER_PLUGIN_FOLDER to get the path of the plugins root folder. See also here: http://www.zenphoto.org/support/topic.php?id=5040&page=2

@acrylian, thanks. That's it. I used PLUGIN_FOLDER constant, for sure.

There is an issue. If there is no IPTC data, dates will not be picked up from the EXIF fields. There is a bracket out of place in the updateMetaData() function. There is one after the line

$this->setCopyright($this->get('IPTCCopyright'));

which should be above the line

/* "import" metadata into Zenphoto fields as makes sense */

@sbillard:
thanks. it's working again. found some minor bugs when i was trying to figure out what was wrong:

functions.php line 70: Oritinal should be Original
image_album_statistics line 406: space needed between " and alt

Thanks, those will get updated next change I make.

@sbillard -

Sorry it took me awhile to get back here.

I'm using Hostmonster Simplescripts to do the updates, so they handled the switch from 1.2.6 to 1.2.7.

Apparently, their updating system isn't all that good.

So if I uninstall & reinstall zenphoto, you think the templates should work?

I'd like to get the default template working again. I like the dark version. It goes with my Wordpress front-end. The combination of Wordpress and Zenphoto makes web gallery creation and management a snap! Now if we just had a way to do paypal, or at least collecting a selection of images (for ordering purposes).....

Thanks for all the effort you folks put into this!!!

Sorry, we don't know anything and don'T support install scripts like SimpleScripts (as stated on the forum rules and the installation page). Please install Zenphoto as described on our user guide.

And there is a paypal plugin.

acrylian,

I too use HostMonster.com for my hosting, and installed & upgraded with "Simple Scripts". I get the same error message of:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function is_valid_video() in /home2/lesdanse/public_html/zenphoto/zp-core/template-functions.php on line 2628

I know you don't support simple scripts, but I suspect you are going to get a lot more complaints since Sooooo many people use this vendor. They broke your install, so I understand it's their fault. But it's affecting your users, and we are kinda stuck since we are insulated from the install and upgrade process. We do have full access to the file structure, and can can replace or edit any files we want. If there is a quick way to fix this, by replacing a file or editing a script, I'm happy to. Or, maybe a solution is to do a fresh install to a new directory, and port all our galleries over.

If you can a look at this error, it will be a great help for me, slrtx1, and lots of other users who will otherwise be stuck.

Thanks

We did get a lot of complains of SimpleScripts specifically in the past and because of that we don't support it and we don't know what it is doing. We actually don't care as it is not our tool. IF you have problems ask the vendor of SimpleScripts.

So the fix is to do a "normal install" yourself. Sorry.

@acrylian

I don't mind doing a normal install.

I'm just glad to know this isn't a Zenphoto issue and that there's a fix.

Actually the simplescripts "clean install" works just fine.

It's the upgrade install that doesn't work.

Yes, one fix is to do a "normal install", but if some prefer the ease of running simplescripts, here's another solution:

1. Copy your image folders from the album folder to a safe place
2. Uninstall Zenphoto via simplescripts
3. Delete the folder with the old zenphoto stuff (simplescripts doesn't do this)
4. Do a clean install of the newer version of Zenphoto. Use the same gallery (folder) name as the previous version, so you don't loose any links you may already have.
5. Copy your image folders back to the album folder. (Folder names are album names.)

I've done this before, so I know it works.

I'll let Hostmonster and the simple script folks know about this issue.

Stuart Riley

Good, might be that they just miss if we changed details regarding file/foldernames. I will see if I can add this to the troubleshooting at least as a little help later.

Update to my last post.

Yep. The 5-step uninstall / delete / re-install worked!

Before you do this, just be sure to back up your images first (each image folder under the album folder - folder names are album names).

If you have questions about this procedure, feel free to contact me directly at slriley@valaddsoft.com, or via the feedback link at http://www.valaddsoft.com/PhotoGallery/. I may not see posts here right away.

@acrylian

Hostmonster opened a ticket on this issue and has contacted Simplescripts about it.

I will let you know when it is resolved.

Stuart

Problems with 1.2.7 installation:

1. My old 1.1.X .htaccess no longer works. I don't see a template for .htaccess in zp-core as you indicate above??
2. The "example" theme no longer works, because of the deprecated issue. Enabling the "deprecated" plugin doesn't help either. The "example" theme is really what I want, so I'm reverting to 1.2.6 precisely because of this.
3. Random errors. I wish I could reproduce reliably, but it was just overall glitchy.

1. It's in zp-core. Just delete the old and let setup create the new one.
2. The theme is not supported officially anymore. Without telling us which errors no one will be able to help you.
3. We welcome any report about issues or bugs but that does not really help. Please be more specific.

Every since I've upgraded to v. 1.2.7 my gallery has become really slow. Anybody else having performance issues? Thanks.

I do not, but we don't know your install. Did you maybe clear the image cache then it would be naturally slow until it is recreated. Best you post a link.

Never mind, for some reason the website is waaaaaaaaay slower in Firefox compared to IE. Weird.

Firefox itself is much slower on my computer than Safari...;-)

Hello, I Zenphoto is part of the Simplescript on Bluehost, which is the host service I use.

I upgraded Zenphoto to 1.2.7, but like srtx1, I got the fatal error on the part of the page where is usually a link to download the fullsize image:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: getimagemetadata() in /home1/piggyhoh/public_html/illustration/themes/stopdesign/image.php on line 74

See the error in action on my page

Your previous advice to srtx1 didn't quite help...and this only happened AFTER I upgraded. Help?
