PhotoQ WordPress Photoblog Plugin Update 1.2.5
May 6th, 2008
This update adopts category handling of PhotoQ 1.2 to WordPress 2.5.1. Only perform the update if you are using WordPress 2.5.1 or higher. If you use WordPress 2.5, please download version 1.2.4 of the PhotoQ WordPress Photoblog plugin instead.
Besides handling categories without warnings under WordPress 2.5.1 this update of the PhotoQ Photoblog Plugin brings two new settings:
- You can now set a default category for all photoblog posts posted via PhotoQ.
- You can now set the author for posts posted via PhotoQ in case you want this to be different from the default one.
Before reporting a problem, please read at least the "Requirements" as well as the "Troubleshooting" sections of the plugin description. The latest PhotoQ versions do not work with Wordpress versions lower than 2.5, so please do not report any errors if you use a Wordpress version lower than 2.5. Thanks a lot for your help and for sticking to these guidelines.

Hey, thx for the fast help neulich!
Had the following problem with the last version, too. Probably a config or server problem, but I cant figure it out. System: WP 2.5.1. PhotoQ 1.2.5.
Normal Upload works. Batch Upload doesnt open the “select file” dialog when clicking on “select photos”. On all browsers. mod_security and mod_rewrite are added to the .htaccess. Anything idea?
Georg thinks:
Oh, Firebug tells this error:
“uncaught exception: Invalid function name
ExecPhp_fillContainer(”execphp-security-hole”, “<p>No user matching the query.</p>”)edit.php (line 122)
ExecPhp_ajaxCompletion()edit.php (line 158)
onreadystatechange()”
And you packed the plugin not directly into the root, of the dir of the package. This way the auto-update of WP doesnt work, because the plugin disapears from the admin menu because it is in a subdir.

georg,
according to the information you gave here this doesn’t look like a photoq problem to me. the errors you show here seem to come from the exec-php plugin that you must be running. try to disable it and tell me if you still have problems with photoq.
thanks for the hint for auto-updating. will try to change this in the next release.
Georg says:
Thx, yes, I do run ExecPhp, but it doesnt help turning it off. I tried deactivating all plugins but it still doesnt work :(
I recently tried an export-plugin for Aperture to export to flickr directly. Man, this is awesomly easy. Just select the photos, hit export, name and tag the photos and boom - they get exportet and uploaded. If you are a Appleuser and feel like having too much time, a wordpress-plugin for photoQ in Aperture would be awesome.
Would this be difficult? Is there an api or something inside photoQ I could use, if I would try?

Hi whoismanu,
first of all: Thank You for your creat plugin. Since 4 days i have installed wordpress 2.5.1 on my vserver. I was looking for an plugin which allows a more comfortable post of photos. But: I have a problem concerning the upload/post of the photos. I can upload the photos by normal way, “add photos to queue”. The progressbar appears and after the upload has been finished on the right top corner appears an “enter info” button. When i push it the site becomes blank and a “save batch info” button appears. When i push it the procedure starts at the beginning.
My installation runs on a debian ethch, all updates / bugfixes loaded. The Wordpress is Version 2.5.1 (german). The only active plugin at this time is the photoq-plugin.
Ih have even set the file permissions of the whole www-directory to 777. But it seems not work. Do you have any idea about?
If it would be helpful i can create a temporary account at the server so you can login and have look for the mistake.
Thank You in advance,
daniel

Will it be worthfull to have this plugin in multi languages? I can/will do the Dutch Language for your project without any problem. Please contact.
whoismanu says:
people having similar problems to the one daniel describes above, should check that they run PHP with the GD library installed/activated. without GD support neither photoq nor wordpress are able to resize images. once you have GD support the problems with empty queues, photos that don’t get uploaded should go away.

Hi there - fantastic solution. I am trying to use it with a premium template (premiumnewstheme). the problem is that when published only the link to the picture is displayed, meaning you have to click on the link first to open the picture. Any ideas? Best,
Uwe
whoismanu says:
uwe,
my guess is that your theme displays the excerpt on the frontpage. for text posts this means that it shows only part of the post and you can then click to read the rest. for photo posts created with photoq this means that it shows the thumbnail and if you click you will see the full image.
in the current version of photoq this is fixed, i.e., the excerpt will always show the thumbnail. in the next version you will be able to change this and show whatever image size you want.

I am trying to install this plugi but I am getting a directory problem, the jquery.ui-1.5b folder is coming up as name not allowed, I am not sure if extracting it renamed the folder or something but I would appreciate any sugestions.
whoismanu says:
brenda,
jquery.ui-1.5b is exactly the name the folder should have. so no pbl with extracting. probably rather a pbl of your server.
whoismanu says:
brenda,
could also be due to hidden files added to the folder by your operating system (e.g. .DS_Store files on a mac). so try to get rid of them before uploading.

Same problem as George. I am using wordpress 2.5.1 and photoq 1.2.5. The only plug-ins that are activated (photoq aside) is wp-cache and wp-flv. Can you please tell me why the select file dialog does not open when clicking on select photos…
Thank you!
Meemax thinks:
Also, I couldn’t edit a photo in queue. The said queue entry to be edited seems to disapper from the Managa PhotoQ list.
sagbee says:
Hi,
Great plugin, however wondering if it can work with regular posts… like its automatic post within blog posts with described height and weight ( can do resize automatically ) ????
whoismanu says:
sagbee,
no, right now there is now way to automatically post regular posts with photoq. maybe some day…

I’m runing IIS + PHP + MySQL and have a problem with PhotoQ after enable it. I found the prpblem and final fix it. Here is the problem that I fixed:
At the line 1666 to 1677 of file PhotoQ.php
$wpdb->query(”
CREATE TABLE `$this->QUEUE_TABLE` (
`q_position` int(10) NOT NULL default ‘0′,
`q_title` varchar(200) default ”,
`q_imgname` varchar(200) NOT NULL default ”,
`q_slug` varchar(200) default ”,
`q_descr` text default ”,
`q_tags` text default ”,
`q_edited` bit default 0,
`q_parent` varchar(200) default ”,
PRIMARY KEY (`q_imgname`)
); “);
Three line below
`q_descr` text default ”,
`q_tags` text default ”,
`q_edited` bit default 0,
Must be changed to:
`q_descr` text,
`q_tags` text,
`q_edited` tinyint default 0,
And the problem is fixed!
whoismanu says:
pn2design,
thanks for sharing this with us. so the microsoft iis webserver must be handling these things differently from apache.
Monika says:
Hi Manu
I have a blog with four authors,all are admins and all are allowed to published photos via your plugin,
but now we can’t do this, because I have to select one author`s name, but there are four names :(
What can I do to disable this authors selection?
Or is there another way to solve this problem?
thanks a lot
Monika
whoismanu says:
monika,
right now photoq is not really able to deal with multiple users, i.e., there is only one single queue, not one queue per user and posts posted via photoq are all posted as the same user, the one you are selecting in the photoq settings. however, any user with the correct rights should be able to post photos only they won’t show up under his name but under the name of the user selected in settings.
