PhotoQ WordPress Photoblog Plugin Update 1.2.3

April 16th, 2008

This update contains many bugfixes for PhotoQ 1.2 WordPress Photoblog Plugin. Anyone who had problems with earlier PhotoQ 1.2 versions should perform the update.

This update fixes the following issues:

  • PhotoQ WordPress photoblog plugin now again works correctly under PHP4. The problem with settings that were not saved should be resolved.
  • PhotoQ now works with localized versions of WordPress. The bug saying “swfu not defined” should have disappeared.
  • PhotoQ now also works under Windows with IE7.
  • The swfupload script has been updated to the latest version.

Thanks to everyone who helped me find these bugs. Special thanks to Oliver for bringing the PHP4 bug to my attention and to Alexandre from ecoloblogue.ca for helping me find and resolve most of the remaining above mentioned bugs.

    Hi, i seem to have some issues here. which I just cant seem to figure out why it happens.

    but when i upload this is the error im getting

    ===================
    Warning: rename(www.dustyhawk.com/serge/qdir/nameoffile.jpg) [function.rename]: No such file or directory in /home/wp-directory/plugins/whoismanu-photoq/classes/PhotoQ.php on line 1862

    Warning: unlink(www.dustyhawk.com/serge/qdir/nameoffile.jpg) [function.unlink]: No such file or directory in /home/wp-directory/plugins/whoismanu-photoq/classes/PhotoQ.php on line 1864
    ================

    Now the photo can be uploaded and this time the part where i mark which category it falls under list only half of the category i have. when i click back on manage->photoq , the error above disappears. But now when i click the [edit] it does not edit and when i click [delete] the following error comes :

    =============
    Warning: unlink(www.dustyhawk.com/serge/qdir/nameoffile.jpg) [function.unlink]: No such file or directory in /home/wp-directory/plugins/whoismanu-photoq/classes/PhotoQ.php on line 1196

    ===========

    Still trying to figure out why, but this are my settings.

    Queue Directory : http://www.dustyhawk.com/serge/qdir

    Image Directory : http://www.dustyhawk.com/serge/imgdir

    both of this directory has been set under the proper chmod.

    Any help on this is appreciated

    Serge Norguard thinks:

    oh and another thing.

    this happens even if i leave the Queue and Image Directory path with or without the “http://” its the same thing.

    I’m running on WP 2.5

    serge,

    you almost certainly got the qdir and imgdir settings wrong. try making them relative to the base directory of your wordpress install like it is done in the default setting, e.g., wp-content/qdir.

    Hi,
    After getting everything to work, incl. batch upload and cronjobs and being a happy trooper – today the batch upload stopped working.
    I get the “SWFU is null or not an object” message, despite having updated to 1.2.3
    My config is: WP 2.5, PhotoQ 1.2.3, PHP 4.4.4

    Voted for this plugin at WordPress anyway ! :)

    Serge Norguard thinks:

    is it possible not to have it on “relative to base directory” ? as i would like to use the /serge/ subdomain

    Thx for another update. And yes, dont forget your own photos ;)
    Another little bug: If the alt-tag of the image contains special characters like ? : + or so the image is displayed in the original-size. If you delete the special character everything is working again. Also with the new version. No big deal but good to know.

    whoismanu says:

    serge,

    not sure whether i get your point. anyway, in the qdir/imgdir setting you need to give a relative path on the filesystem of your webserver (not an url) to the qdir/imgdir directory. the path given is relative to the wordpress base directory. so if your qdir folder is not inside the wordpress base directory but let’s say in a directory called serge on the same level as the wordpress base directory, you should be able to define qdir as ../serge/qdir. note, however, that i never tested with qdir/imgdir directories outside the wordpress base directory.

    well now that that’s settle. I use the setting of “Replace images with image links.” however the image that has been publish is not a <a></a> or am i mistaken ?

    whoismanu says:

    serge,

    with this setting, the code posted will be something like this <a rel=”lightbox” href=”yourdomain.com/wp-content/imgdir/2008_04/img.jpg”><img width=”120″ height=”74″ src=”yourdomain.com/wp-content/imgdir/2008_04/img.thumbnail.jpg” class=”thumb_post” /></a>

    Hello,

    I just upgraded to WP 2.5, and PhotoQ 1.2.3, and with the PhotoQ plugin enabled, the Add Media buttons disappear from the Write page. With the PhotoQ plugin enabled, I see:
    http://ryan.bigwoofs.com/wp-content/uploads/nobuttons.gif

    With the PhotoQ plugin disabled, I see:
    http://ryan.bigwoofs.com/wp-content/uploads/buttons.gif

    Any ideas how to fix this without having to disable the plugin every time I want to upload a picture by hand?

    Thanks in advance!

    ryan,

    thanks, bug confirmed. looks like i introduced this bug by tweaking to make photoq work with localized wp versions (wordpress seems to handle some things improperly: bug report submitted but no answer so far http://trac.wordpress.org/ticket/6725). until i find a better solution you can downgrade to 1.2.2 if you neither use php4 nor ie7 nor a localized wordpress install the old version shouldn’t have this problem.
