Hi,

since I upgraded from zenphoto Version 1.4.10 to 1.4.12 the build in slideshow of the theme zpBase is not working anymore. It is just showing a blank grey page. Does anyone has a suggestion how to get the zpbase slideshow working again? I really like the slideshow.

Thanks
Norbert

Any errors in any error log?

Nope, no errors in the error log. Some where in the forum was mentioned that the current version has a problem with the slideshow and it is fixed with the support build. I installed the support build and this fixed the problem with the default slideshow (the default one was not working either), but the zpbase is still not working.

In the zpBase theme folder find the file [i]functions.php[/i]

On lines 240 and 242 add trailing slashes.

Line 240 becomessee added trailing slash after [i]slideshow[/i])
`$slideshowlink = rewrite_path(pathurlencode($_zp_current_album->getFolder()) . '/' . _PAGE_ . '/slideshow/', "index.php?p=slideshow&album=" . urlencode($_zp_current_album->getFolder()));`

Line 242 becomessee added trailing slash after [i]slideshow[/i])
`$slideshowlink = rewrite_path('/' . _PAGE_ . '/slideshow/', "index.php?p=slideshow");`

Don't ask me why but this seems to work ;-)

Thanks Fretzl! Those changes get the slideshow working again! Thank you so much for your help!

I had to switch hosting. ZenPhoto 1.4.6 was working great on GoDaddy, on InMotion it was broken, throwing deprecated php errors. So, I upgraded to 1.4.12 . The overall site works, slideshow on the default theme puts up a blank page, Effervesence has all the titles and decorations but the content area is empty.

So, I tried the support build (zip file unpacked on linux). I get 500 errors on all albums with that one.

No errors in the zp-data logs, in fact no error log file at all. PHP version is 5.6.32 and I am not using imagemagick. Standard build, I let the database recreate when upgrading to 1.4.12 just in case. My setup is simple, so nothing really to reconfigure.

The slide show is critical for me. It's the main reason I went to ZenPhoto. Any suggestions for troubleshooting are greatly appreciated.

Best regards,
Bill

Your post is actually in the wrong topic as zpBase is first not an official theme and it uses its own slideshow and not the official plugin(s) ;-)

I cannot really tell why you get 500 errors on albums. Might be the usual permissions. You should also look at your server's logs as Zenphoto's own may not catch everything.

From 1.4.12 to the support build not that much changed. Makes sure you have the right htaccess file as there has been a change about trailing slashes the support build fixes with the slideshow.

A link to the site always helps.
