resolvedHi,
I have just installed, the Plug-In on a new WPMU installation, I have tried batch and single upload, the images are uploaded to the hosted server, but not available to manage it still says: 'Queue empty, why not upload some photos?'
Images are in '/wwwroot/wp-content/blogs.dir/3/files/qdir' but just not in the queue.

hi,
hmmm, no idea, but we will try to figure out. could you do the following?
- open classes/PhotoQ.php with a text editor. try to locate the function uploadPhoto()
- find the part inside this function where it says
//add photo to queue
if(!$result = $wpdb->query("INSERT INTO $this->QUEUE_TABLE (q_title, q_imgname, q_position, q_slug, q_descr, q_tags, q_exif, q_date, q_fk_author_id) VALUES ('$title', '$filename', '".($this->_queue->getLength())."', '$slug', '$descr', '$tags', '$exif', '$dateTime', '$post_author')"))
return false;- replace this whole block with the following
//add photo to queue
if(!$result = $wpdb->query("INSERT INTO $this->QUEUE_TABLE (q_title, q_imgname, q_position, q_slug, q_descr, q_tags, q_exif, q_date, q_fk_author_id) VALUES ('$title', '$filename', '".($this->_queue->getLength())."', '$slug', '$descr', '$tags', '$exif', '$dateTime', '$post_author')")){
$temp = "INSERT INTO $this->QUEUE_TABLE (q_title, q_imgname, q_position, q_slug, q_descr, q_tags, q_exif, q_date, q_fk_author_id) VALUES ('$title', '$filename', '".($this->_queue->getLength())."', '$slug', '$descr', '$tags', '$exif', '$dateTime', '$post_author')";
$this->_errStack->push(PHOTOQ_FILE_UPLOAD_FAILED,'error', array('errMsg' => 'Could not add DB entry:' .$temp));
return false;
}- save your changes and upload the changed file to the server
- do a single upload (i.e. disable batch uploads in photoq settings)
- do you now see an error message after the upload?
Hi,
I edited the file added your code and it is working now with the list and preview showing the images.
Shall I leave the code in-place, if you want the original file I can send it if you mail me david.cox[at]adeptris.com
many thanks for your quick reponse, are there any tutorials on setup anywhere?
Note:
I use shared hosting so do not have imagemagik just the GD library, and when uploading from a full size image the system stopped responding, I had to batch re-size them in Photoshop first, then they uploaded fine.
The title and descriptions copied from the file fine, the tags did not, they are ; not comma separated in the images, so I could not copy and paste them.
But fantastic results, here is my Sample Photo Blog and a skin I created, if anyone want's to check it out!

hi
nice to hear that it now works. however the code i sent you didn't do anything except adding an error message in case a post cannot be added to the database. i.e., i didn't fix anything.
so i have no clue what caused your problems in the first place...
and yes you can remove the added code, it should not make any difference at all.
tutorials no, but the full documentation is available at http://www.whoismanu.com/photoq-wordpress-photoblog-plugin
however if someone is aware of any tutorials i would be happy to know and link there as well.
regarding gd, yes it might be that you hit the memory limit with large images, and downsizing images usually helps as explained in the documentation.
finally your issue with tags, i didn't really get what you meant. can you elaborate on this a bit more? thanks.
I have PhotoShop and I keyword (tag) all images, I use the PS built-in script > Image Processor to prepare the images to upload.
if you do a right mouse and properties the tags are in the image file, as your EXIF or IPTC is not extracting keywords or tags to wp-tags, I was going to copy and paste them, but they are tag1;tag2;tag3 in the file, so I cannot just copy and paste, if you allowed , or ; as a delimiter then that would work ok.
I read in another topic that you may be adding keyword support, as it is php it may be worth downloading ResourceSpace (open source) at (http://www.resourcespace.org/) and looking at the EXIF, ITPC and XML fall-through image and keyword coding to save you some time :-)
I am not a php developer so the php code is not native to me and I struggle a bit, I have the plug-in up on a test website http://phototripod.instancesintime.com/ and have created a theme with changable header that works with it out-the-box for free download and distrubution as well http://instancesintime.com/themes/.
Thanks and kind regards,
David
I just added another sub domain and now it is not uploading:
The file upload failed with the following error: Could not add DB entry:INSERT INTO wp_11_photoq (q_title, q_imgname, q_position, q_slug, q_descr, q_tags, q_exif, q_date, q_fk_author_id) VALUES ('Img 5387', 'IMG_5387.jpg', '0', '', '', '', 'a:32:{s:4:"Make";s:5:"Canon";s:5:"Model";s:22:"Canon EOS 400D DIGITAL";s:11:"Orientation";s:17:"1: Normal (0 deg)";s:11:"xResolution";s:3:"300";s:11:"yResolution";s:3:"300";s:14:"ResolutionUnit";s:4:"Inch";s:8:"Software";s:27:"Adobe Photoshop CS3 Windows";s:8:"DateTime";s:19:"2009:11:27 21:55:28";s:12:"ExposureTime";s:8:"1/80 sec";s:7:"FNumber";s:5:"f/7.1";s:15:"ExposureProgram";s:7:"Program";s:15:"ISOSpeedRatings";s:3:"400";s:11:"ExifVersion";s:12:"version 2.21";s:16:"DateTimeOriginal";s:19:"2008:09:29 17:10:01";s:17:"DateTimedigitized";s:19:"2008:09:29 17:10:01";s:17:"ShutterSpeedValue";s:8:"1/80 sec";s:13:"ApertureValue";s:5:"f/7.1";s:17:"ExposureBiasValue";s:4:"0 EV";s:12:"MeteringMode";s:13:"Multi-Segment";s:5:"Flash";s:8:"No Flash";s:11:"FocalLength";s:5:"31 mm";s:15:"FlashPixVersion";s:9:"version 1";s:10:"ColorSpace";s:4:"sRGB";s:14:"ExifImageWidth";s:10:"700 pixels";s:15:"ExifImageHeight";s:10:"458 pixels";s:21:"FocalPlaneXResolution";s:15:"4433.2953249715";s:21:"FocalPlaneYResolution";s:15:"4453.6082474227";s:24:"FocalPlaneResolutionUnit";s:4:"Inch";s:12:"ExposureMode";s:1:"0";s:12:"WhiteBalance";s:1:"0";s:16:"SceneCaptureMode";s:1:"0";s:20:"FocalLength35mmEquiv";s:15:"278.76533085873";}', '2008:09:29 17:10:01', '1').

so that's exactly the error message we introduced with the patch above.
ok, i guess i know more or less where the problem is. do you have the plugin activated sitewide?
if so, can you try to deactivate and reactivate the plugin on the new blog where the error occurs? does it work after you did so?
i suspect that the necessary databases are not created for new blogs if the plugin is activated sitewide.
ps: thanks as well for your comments on iptc. and also thanks for the links to your theme. however, i unfortunately get a 404 on the link to the theme (http://instancesintime.com/themes/)
[RESOLVED]
Thanks I have changed the Plugin Management not to activate site-wide, deactivated and re-activated the plug-in and it is all working.

ok so the sitewide option really is the problem. i also saw on some posts online that this option in wpmu still has quite a few bugs. anyway, i'll try to see what i can do about database table generation.
the problem seems to be that photoq creates database tables when it is activated via the plugin activation hook. now this hook is probably not called if the plugin is activated sitewide and if a new blog is created (because it is already activated). the new blog is then missing the tables. i have to see whether there is a hook that gets executed on creation of a new blog and whether i can hook into this to create the tables.
nice theme. if you send me a preset that works with your theme, i will include it with photoq and you might get some more users. should you decide to make a preset, preferably also include the display of exif data. to do this, you need to define a formatting that you deem nice looking (under settings->photoq->exif) and by inlcuding the exif either via the shorttag in a freeform or the include exif checkbox of the content view.
update: i checked and in my case the database tables get created on new blogs if the plugin is activated sitewide (i am using wpmu-2.8.6)
what version of wpmu are you using?
