1 small problem, 1 question

[Andy Somnifac]

Pekka,

Great work on the EE, the ftp and resize functions are going to save a ton of work.

I just did a clean install of 1.5 and it's working, with one small exception. When I browse each photo in the photo editor, I get a message "EMPTY DIRECTORY LISTING (wrong microthumb path?)" under the "Select filename..." dropdown. The photos work fine in the gallery. Any ideas?

2nd, the one thing that would save me the most time I think would be to set the category with the rest of the default photodata. I just wanted to make sure that I'm not blind and there is indeed no way to do that. And if there isn't, would there be a way to get that on the request list? :-)

Other than that, it looks great. Now it just needs to go under the knife so it works with my site a little more, like I did with 1.3.

Thanks,

Andy

Sorry for late reply, I haven't got a chance to open the PC on christmas more than 10 minutes at a time :)

You get the error because the relative path in path editor is not correct. The relative path is calculated from INPUT folder.

e.g. when your input folder is
http//www.example.com/gallery/myinput/

and your thumbs are in

http//www.example.com/gallery/photos/bali/thumbs/

The relative path should be

../photos/bali/thumbs/

(../ means "one directory up")

if your thumbs are in

http//www.example.com/photos/bali/thumbs/

Then relative path is

../../photos/bali/thumbs/

("step two folders up from input folder and enter into 'photos/bali/thumbs/' -folder from there")

Relative path is used in photo editor file list, and in exhibition editor's thumb/micorthumb display boxes. I'd really like to get rid of the relative path setting alltogether, but replacing that with ftp listing may slow down photo editor a lot in some systems.

thank you so much pekka!
now all is working fine!

Thanks for the reply Pekka. I indeed had a typo in the microthumb relative directory...

Any thoughts on adding the category to the default photo data?

Thanks,
