this is a bug and now corrected in the latest version (PhotoQ v1.6.3)

Can upload photo but not batch save info.

Any idea what might cause these db errors?

When enabling plugin:
WordPress databasfel f\xc3\xb6r Table ‘MYBLOG.wp_photoq’ doesn’t exist f\xc3\xb6rfr\xc3\xa5gan \n\t\tSELECT\n\t\t*\n\t\tFROM\n\t\twp_photoq\n\t\tWHERE\n\t\t1\n\t\tORDER BY q_position\n\t\t skapat av activate_plugin, include, PhotoQ->__construct, PhotoQSingleton->getInstance, PhotoQQueue->__construct, PhotoQQueue->load, PhotoQDB->getQueueByPosition, referer: https://MYWEBSITE/MYBLOG/wp-admin/plugins.php?deactivate=true

When saving batch info:

your post number 5: according to me it is a theme thing. if you don’t inline exif and description but only rely on the_content and the_excerpt for displaying the photo, you can place the output of the_content, the_excerpt, the exif custom field, the description custom field, where ever you want in your theme.

post number 4: thanks, bug confirmed on wordpress 2.7.1 they must have changed something in category handling from 2.7 to 2.7.1 that i was not aware of. i am working on a fix.

I am looking at having a catagory for all PhotoQ photo posts (I think you have provided a setting for that in the plugin, so thanks), and I would like the excert view to be a thumbnail, and for the posts to stack in a grid, to fill the available window -o- I don’t think thumbnails should be listed!. I have implemented lightbox, so the thumbnails open a ‘slideshow’. Idealy, I would have a large grid of thumbnails, which linked to the lightbix, and a few web2 style buttons to provide other functionality… View exif, download, view post etc…
But really i would like to format the posts taht PhotoQ outputs – as I will for example, want the exif and photo to appear next to one and other, instead of ontop of each other…so is that a photoQ thing or a theme thing?
I have downloaded iQ2 (nice name :) ); and will be having a look through it later.
Thanks for your reply – and your working on photobloging so far! Andrew (email me if you wish)

i would suggest that you have a look at the iq2 theme as a possible example for photoq theme interaction. this might already answer some of your questions.

yes you can have different templates per category. but this is completely independent of photoq. as a themer photoq posts should be no different to you than regular wordpress posts. so you can have different category templates like you would for regular wordpress posts as well. please see the wordpress codex for how to do this.

no photoq excerpts cannot contain exif data. only the content can. but even there i would recommend that you do not inline the exif if you are already designing a theme from scratch. the same goes for description. inline is intended for existing themes. if you build your own i would suggest that you use one of the two exif related custom fields “photoQExifFull” or “photoQExif” instead. like this you can show there output where you want. you can see an example of how to do this in the iq2 theme.

concerning post dates from exif. i guess this is a bit more difficult. you certainly have the info in the “photoQExifFull” array but you would have to write code to extract it from there for every post and then sorting posts accordingly on your own.

contributing is a great plan and a theme would definitely be a great contribution :-)

hope this gives you already some more hints. if you need more help, just aks.

this is because on your webserver php is executed under a different user than the user you use for accessing the server via FTP . the result is that your FTP user doesn’t have permission to delete files created by php. until i add an option that lets photoq create files with write permissions for all users you can use a tool like quixplorer (a php file manager) to remove files created by php that you cannot remove with FTP .
