Hi Manuel! It's been a long time since I have posted anything here... I hope you can offer some advice.

I have been using photoq and a generic theme for almost 3 years now. I would like to change to one of the themes that is integrated with your plugin, namely Viewport. In my current site, there are two main image folders - main and original. I assume that this is because I defined a different size photo for the website than the originals are posted in.

My question, I hope, is easy. What do I need to do to ensure a seamless transition? Can I just load the new theme and everything will update, or is there a process to bring the existing posts up to speed?

hi tim,

yes, that is indeed the idea. photoq is designed to automatically adapt all your already posted photos to a new theme. having said that, i would definitely still play it safe. you never know and i don't want you to blame me if something goes wrong :-) :

1. backup your site such that you can restore everything in case something goes wrong. this includes backing up both your wp database and the photo files on your server. see instructions on the wordpress codex.

2. i would apply the latest patches to photoq prior to doing this (sorry, didn't find time yet for an update that includes those). these are the one here: http://www.whoismanu.com/forum/topic/problem-with-autoconfiguration . and the one here (that you can download, see link inside forum post): http://www.whoismanu.com/forum/topic/nasty-error-when-saving-settings

3. ideally you would have a test install somewhere with which you can safely play around a bit first to see whether you can easily switch between the two themes there.

Ok, I set up a test site at testsite.therybaks.com and copied all of the files and database from my main site to it. I updated the pointers in the General Settings section, so I have a fully running test site now. I made the two changes you referenced above, and then switched to the Grace v1.2 theme and ran the auto configuration in the PhotoQ options. Here is the error I am getting:

* Updating following image sizes: thumbnail, main
* Updating following views: content, excerpt, thumbnail, image
* Updating all published Photos...

Aborting batch processing due to following error:

Fatal error: Call to a member function push() on a non-object in /home/timrybak/public_html/testsite/wp-content/plugins/photoq-photoblog-plugin/classes/error/PhotoQ_Error_Exception.php on line 19

Also, I notice that the thumbnails on the gallery page are still the size from my main site, not the size that the Grace theme wants. Also, when I go to the Posts page to edits existing posts, the thumbnails are gone, instead showing "phpThumb() v1.7.9-200".

Any ideas, or can I give more info?

As a follow up, it seems to happen at the same point every time. It gets about 30 or 32% of the way complete processing the photos.

tim,

seems to be same problem as this one: http://www.whoismanu.com/forum/topic/rebuild-published-aborting-batch-processing-due-to-following-error

let's take it from there.

Manuel,

I saw the post your referred me to, and I downloaded that patch and applied it. Then, I made the change referred to in the last post in that thread for troubleshooting, and did a rebuild. Here is what it returned:

If you would like for me to set up an account for you to log in to my test site so you can tinker around, just let me know.

Thanks!

hi tim,

yes, a test account would be great.

I created the account and I sent the login and site information to [hidden].

the problem seems to come from the fact that the original file for the post in question (imgdir/original/2009_04/IMG_4062.JPG) is missing on the server.

the same is true for other posts, if you look in your admin panel under the list of published posts you will see that there are quite a lot that have a blue error image. for all of these posts, the original file seems to be missing on the server or at least it is not at the expected location.

actually it is a bit more complicated than i thought. and i am honestly not 100% sure what is going on. maybe you can help me.

i identified three different cases.

case 1: everything is ok. for example this image exists on the server:

http://testsite.therybaks.com/wp-content/imgdir/original/2009_03/img_0942.jpg

and the corresponding thumb shows as you can see here:

http://testsite.therybaks.com/wp-content/plugins/photoq-photoblog-plugin/lib/phpThumb_1.7.9x/phpThumb.php?src=/home/timrybak/public_html/testsite/wp-content/imgdir/original/2009_03/img_0942.jpg&w=120&h=60

case 2: image there but thumb doesn't show:

http://testsite.therybaks.com/wp-content/imgdir/original/2010_09/DSLR_IMG_14486.jpg

http://testsite.therybaks.com/wp-content/plugins/photoq-photoblog-plugin/lib/phpThumb_1.7.9x/phpThumb.php?src=/home/timrybak/public_html/wp-content/imgdir/original/2010_09/DSLR_IMG_14486.jpg&w=120&h=60

case 3: image gives page not found, and thumb doesn't show

http://testsite.therybaks.com/wp-content/imgdir/original/2009_04/IMG_4062.JPG

http://testsite.therybaks.com/wp-content/plugins/photoq-photoblog-plugin/lib/phpThumb_1.7.9x/phpThumb.php?src=/home/timrybak/public_html/wp-content/imgdir/original/2009_04/IMG_4062.JPG&w=120&h=60

then their the weird thing is that the error message doesn't say that image does not exist on the server. if you for example change the above to a file that clearly cannot exist:

http://testsite.therybaks.com/wp-content/plugins/photoq-photoblog-plugin/lib/phpThumb_1.7.9x/phpThumb.php?src=/home/timrybak/public_html/wp-content/imgdir/original/2009_04/I62.JPG&w=120&h=60

then it does say that the file is missing.

so, would you have a means of checking on your server what the difference between these three files is. permissions etc.? missing or not, for the last one? because just like this i have a bit a hard time understanding what is going on.

thanks.

This is really strange. I did a file for file copy from my production site to the test site. I will copy over all of the originals again and see if a rebuild succeeds.

Posted 1 year ago #

OK, I copied over the entire Originals folder, and then I did a rebuild from Setting/PhotoQ/Maintenance. It bombed out, and the error text is below. From what I can tell, it looks like it is trying to reference files that are in "/home/timrybak/public_html/wp-content/", rather than "/home/timrybak/public_html/testsite/wp-content"

I don't know if there is an easy fix for this by editing the database, or if I would need to attempt to uninstall/reinstall the plugin. Any tips would be welcome.

true, this really seems to be the problem. if you change the path that i posted above

http://testsite.therybaks.com/wp-content/plugins/photoq-photoblog-plugin/lib/phpThumb_1.7.9x/phpThumb.php?src=/home/timrybak/public_html/wp-content/imgdir/original/2010_09/DSLR_IMG_14486.jpg&w=120&h=60

to

http://testsite.therybaks.com/wp-content/plugins/photoq-photoblog-plugin/lib/phpThumb_1.7.9x/phpThumb.php?src=/home/timrybak/public_html/testsite/wp-content/imgdir/original/2010_09/DSLR_IMG_14486.jpg&w=120&h=60

it also starts to work.

so the problem seems to be that on your testsite, the paths are not the same as on the site you copied (the database) from.

right now for this kind of issue, the only way around is a search and replace in the database. see for example here for more details: http://www.whoismanu.com/forum/topic/thumbs-and-rebuilt-link-broken-due-to-server-move

hope that helps.

Can you point me to the correct table in the database? I poked around, but I didn't see anything that looked like the right data.

Posted 1 year ago #

the photoQPath is stored as a custom field. so these would be all entries in the postmeta table that have a meta_key of photoQPath.

after you edit this, you should do a rebuild all. in your case the rebuild might however still hang because as you can see above there was one image that really seemed to be missing on the server. you can either put this one back in place manually or via editing the post in quesiton and changing the current photoq photo in the wordpress editor.

Dead on accurate. I exported the table to a SQL file, used Notepad++ to make the change, reimported the table and did a complete rebuild. I had replaced the entire images directory with a copy from the production site, so all the pics were there. It ran through the rebuild with no issues.

Thanks Manuel!
