Upgraded: but new photos wont show at showimage.php

rc1320 · January 14th, 2008, 09:56 AM

So here is the story.

At first no images were showing at the showimage point but I update the entire gallery folder and could then see full size images.

BUT TODAY

I just noticed that new images added will not display in full size. See: CLICK HERE

I double checked that all the folders are correct. Can someone please help me understand how to trouble shoot this or what might be wrong?

Seems that it is not storing the file when its uploaded. See attachment (screen grap from files folder)

any help here?

Look for custom ADV_GALLERY_SHOWIMAGE in your templates.
- you may need to save your custom code and revert the template. (there may have been some code changes)

I have the same problem, but don't use displayimage.php
I think I've some hints to help the developers to solve the problem:

I've uploaded the file "1-crestbig-2.gif" and the followinf file were created in the image directory:

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

The images refered by are:

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

Please note the difference: 1_1_crestbig_2.gif <-> 1-1_crestbig_2.gif

I don't have any mods to my vBgallery templates.

I am really lost on this issue and have been spending way too much time on it for the last 5 days. Emailed via the support line and Chucks suggestions didn't apply.

I need someone to fix this for me. Zachariah or Chuck, with access would you guys be able to fix this for me? I will pay you via Paypal.

Same thing happening here.
No mods either.
Does not happen when uploaded directly from the server.

rc1320 - Shoot me some access via PM - ftp / admincp

The bug is verified. vbGallery looks for files like this

http://.../vbgallery/files/1_1_crestbig_2.gif

However in the old vbGallery the files are like this

http://.../vbgallery/files/1_1_crestbig-2.gif

Does this mean there is a fix for it? Do I need to hold tight or is there something I should do?

Seems all 2.42 users are waiting for a solution since 2 weeks?

Line 370, from

Ehm, the 2 lines are the same?

Luciano · February 2nd, 2008, 11:06 PM

no the lines are not the same one has - the other _

question: if i understand correctly the problem only exists if safe mode is active? or at least if setting is so in acp.. ie. All files in one directory..
files/userid-filename.jpg
instead of files/u/s/e/r/i/d/filename.jpg ?

Well i tested on my install.. and yes it happens but only if your gallery is in safemode..
that means that ALL files are only in 1 directory gallery/files/filename.jpg

You should not use that unless your server is really in safemode.. and you cannot change that... (ie. php cannot create subdirectories by itself..)

Why? most obvious reason: the file limits..
some systems start crashing when there are 20000 files in one directory.. others allready with 15.000 but..
each image needs at least 3 files.. so that will limit you to 6000 or 7000 images in total before your server crashes..

if you can use the normal option: you can have 100 thousand images without a problem.. as directories and subdirectories will be created for each DIGIT of the user id.. (only limit left will be 6 to 7000 images PER USER) wich is much nicer..

but there are other reasons like performance etc.. (takes less time to seek a file with 50 files in a dir than a file when there are 5000 files in a dir) ...

ATTENTION: the settings are a bit confusing in wording...
if you have:

Quote:

Click the 'Change File Storage Method' button below to turn the safemode bypass Off.

it means that your gallery is using safemode...!!!! (what it shouldnt)

==================================

But back to the topic.. the fix above seems to work.. but i dont like it..

because when you switch from safemode back to normal you will loose images.. (the system looks for images like userid-filename to put them back in the subdirectories) now when i switched to safemode all my files were called like that (1-filename.jpg) the new uploads would be: 1_filename.jpg .. when i want to switch back.. the system will NOT be able to tell what are my files..
===> i will loose the new uploads..

so what I suggest as quickfix: (but i think zach is looking into it in a more deep manner and will come up with a real fix very soon)

leave the line in the post above like it is..(i.e. dont change it)
instead change:
in forum/includes/functions_gallery_imageedit.php

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

to

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

(or simply add the dash after ^a-z0-9_-)
it seems to work... but.. i think it should be tested more deeply..
could be other drawbacks (none that i can think of.. but you never know)
