Retrieve Photo Sizes editor problems [FIXED IN 2.01]

[shaun3000]

Also, a question:

On the BATCH PHOTO CHECKER / SIZE INFO UPDATER, "Continue nonstop" doesn't work. It does the same thing as Continue to Next Photo. Most annoying, I have hundreds of photos.

Suggestions?

I'm experiencing the same issue - I also find the 'HTTP' option to be much faster (although it may cut into your bandwidth limits, not sure).

[shaun3000]

Glad it's not just me. HTTP does seem faster.

Shaun, what browser do you use? Make sure that Javascript is on and check that your firewall does not prevent redirecting.

[shaun3000]

Firefox 2.0 RC1. Firewall isn't a factor.

It seems to work just fine in IE 6 :-\

[Pekka]

Yes it's simple standard redirect code, should work on all browsers (I use normally IE 6 and 7 and FF 1.5). Maybe there is a bug in Firefox 2 RC, I have not tried that yet. Are there some new settings related to redirecing in FF 2?

Huh, can't get it to work. I tried the latest stable version of Firefox (1.5.0.6, I believe) on my computer and tried my fiancee's, neither worked. IE works but after about 10-15 refreshes it stops. I have to manually refresh a few times a minute.

I looked through my router settings, just for grins. Everything looks normal and I don't have problems with other webpages. Anything I should check?

And hey, at least we only have to use this tool once! :)

I'm having the same issues. I'm noticing also that after it verifies the size of the thumbnails, they don't display properly on the index page, in the gallery listing, etc. They're all smushed to 150x150 :confused:

What does the batch photo checker report? What do the message say? Pick one photo and do the check. What do you see on the result page?

Also, what is your thumbnail size? In SETUP_settings.php there are several max size limiters which limit size of thumbs.

// thumb max size limiters

$s_comment_max_thumbsize_width = "130";
$s_comment_max_thumbsize_height = "130";

$s_news_max_thumbsize_width = "130";
$s_news_max_thumbsize_height = "130";

$s_sitemap_max_microthumbsize_width = "45";
$s_sitemap_max_microthumbsize_height = "45";

$s_camera_example_max_microthumbsize_width = "45";
$s_camera_example_max_microthumbsize_height = "45";

$s_lens_example_max_microthumbsize_width = "45";
$s_lens_example_max_microthumbsize_height = "45";

Mostly it is, that is why there is an option to choose it. FTP speed depends a lot on ftp server settings and location. On some server localhost ftp is extremely fast.

One option is your installed virus suite and its settings. E.g. Kaspersky 6 has "Web Anti Virus" intelligent script checker which thinks some redirects are bad, it also prevents page redraw on update if those aggressive features are on.

Also, what is your PHP maxtime (see install checker)? If it is something like 30 seconds it might be too low for even one size check process, which means it will halt.

[shaun3000]

maxtime is 50000

I tried with my antivirus off and still no joy.

Also, this is odd and might need it's own thread. When I do the Install Check, under MySQL Function Test, I get:

18. Database connection error. Check that "basecode/SETUP_settings.php" is set up correctly and database server is up.
Skipping all MySQL tests

That doesn't seem right considering EE works...

Does this happen every time you do install check? This might also mean that SETUP_settings.php has syntax error.

Try this: Edit line 2 in basecode/SETUP_settings.php to

error_reporting(255);

and open it in browser:
http://www.yoursite.com/gallery/basecode/SETUP_settings.php

Any errors on screen?

PS. If your MySQL drops offline from time to time, this would explain a lot.

Here's some logical thinking:
You can batch one photo and it works ok.
You batch 200 photos and after X it halts: this means the exactly same code went thru fine 19 times, and failed at 20. The batch is stored in database and retrieved from database so if the database can not be read when EE tries to get next batch info it will halt.

[shaun3000]

No errors, just a blank page. Yes, every time I do install check it says that. I've triple-checked the SETUP_settings and everything is how it should be.

The weird thing is it doesn't work at all in Firefox. It works in IE for a while and then halts. It's almost like IE is halting. Like it refreshes so many times and nothing happens, so it just stops.

Segal3 seems to have the same problem...

[segal3]

I tried running the batch 'continue to next photo' in IE 6.0.29, and it would do a few and then pause and I would have to hit refresh, and it would do it again, etc. After a period of time I did get it through all my photos, so I guess I don't need a resolution anymore :confused:

If that editor does not work for you then upload editor will not work either. So it is better to solve this. Try the attached file and let me know if a) it makes any difference and b) when it halts do you now see any mysql error logs in "Error/debug logs" editor?

I have the same issue with FF 1.5.0.7 and I also have issue of upload not working.

I tried this file and still see the same issue. I do not see any new errors in "Error/debug logs" editor.

Do you have your server online? If I could get access to your admin I may be able to solve this fast, tomorrow). PM me the access details if you let me in. Like a broken record I repeat that if I am not able to reproduce the problem, solving it is guesswork.

I will PM the access info in a minute. Thanks Pekka.
