I've got everything working. Using "D30_photos" paths for now while I test.

Created an new exhibition called "Test" - original huh?

I made all the images using a photoshop action, and uploaded to all the relevant directories (permissions 777)

I go to "edit exhibition" and I see the thumbnail and microthumb on the right. I click "Create a new image for this photo"

I get a list of microthumbs.

I click one of them.

I get the form and fill in the info BUT the thumb and microthumb show red crosses

I select Displayed in public, and save names, tech data, world data, etc.

I go back to the editor and there are no photos

I go back to Copy/Delete photos, there are 8 listed. I can't delete any because I get a message:

PHOTO ID 1: Can not delete because it's the last occurrence of the photo in the database. Your options are: move it to a hidden gallery, or delete it from entire database (use the photo editor for that).

Is there ANY documentation about how to install photos, and what all tese different editors are supposed to do?

TIA

Mark

I found one problem. There were no countries. When I added one and re-saved the image, I got an image rectangle (with pink dots for a border) and a tool-tip, but again there are no images (in the public view).

If I go to the PhotoEditor and add a new image, the thumb and th mico thumb that show red crosses (on right) have the path "http://www.anderson-mark.com/PhotoGalleries/input/Astronaut.jpg"

Where does this come from? All my images are under "http://www.anderson-mark.com/PhotoGalleries/D30_photos//.

If I click on "check validity of size paths for this filename" all my images are there, so why aren't they in the gallery?

Thanks

Please install EE again: I checked your editor and as you seem to have lost all countries (190 countried should be installed by installer and they are always write-protected!) and e.g. timestamps for creation and edit dates, it seems EE has not been installed ok into your system.

Perhaps the path/install problem has something to do with cgi path that's included in each file in your system?

If you still have trouble, write me a mail and I'll try to solve it with you.
