Differing /data directories

criscokid · July 25th, 2005, 02:13 PM

I've just installed Classifieds 2.41

When creating an advert that includes a phot I get the following error message:
Warning: move_uploaded_file(/classifieds/data2/1Bart_032.jpg): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in \classifieds\image-inc.php on line 53

When I go and look at the advert the advert shows but there's no photo because it's calling the photo from /data/2/1Bart_032-thumb.jpg

The difference is: /data/2 and /data2

Putting a / at the end of the directory in the 'Full path to PhotoPost Classifieds data directory' field seems to have sorted the problem (I think).

In setting up my classifieds I only have 'personals' activtated. When I click on 'Place an ad' it immediatly jumps to 'step 2 of 3' (which is understandable as step 1 is the step where you choose the type od ad you wish to place) - the problem is that the drop down list is empty even though I have some ad categories set.

Anyone from the support team able to help me on this?

I have a category called 'Personal adverts' set which doesn't allow ads to be posted to it and then sub categories under that which do allows ads to be posted and they're all 'personal type'ads.

When I click on 'Place an ad' it immediatly jumps to 'Step 2 of 3 - Choose the category you wish to place your ad:' - the problem is that the drop down list is empty even though I have some ad categories set. If I click the submit button the screen changes and shows 'Step 2 of 3 - Choose the category you wish to place your ad:' and all my categories are shown.

In edit categories you need to assign categories to use the personals template.

I did that and that's when things break. It seems to work ok if there's a category with ads other than personals there as as well - but personals on its own then it doesn't work.

Please explain in further detail

If I create a parent cat called personals and then create subcategories and assign them all the personals type it works fine.

I think alot of the confusion comes when people think they can mix and match template types of subcats under a parent cat which is set to a specific type

Which is exactly what I've done and it's broken (as I've described in my previous posts). I'll PM you the URL and you can take a look for yourself.

Here is the fix in uploadproduct.php

find this

list( $pptemplate ) = mysql_fetch_row($adtypes);
ppmysql_free_result($adtypes);

change to this

list( $pptemplate, $adtype ) = mysql_fetch_row($adtypes);
ppmysql_free_result($adtypes);

$Globals['cattemp'] = htmlspecialchars($pptemplate);

Omegatron - many thanks for your help and taking a look.

When you said 'and adjust the main language file' are you referring to english.php? I suppose if I do what you've said I should do (overwrite forsale templates with the contents of the personals templates) It shpould be obvious to me if there's any other bits of the language file that I may need to change.

In a web browser /showcat.php... the 'sort by' selection is a drop down list which contains 'product title'. I'd like to change this - where do I find this piece of text to change?

Just do what my post above says to do and you dont have to edit anything further

criscokid · July 27th, 2005, 02:16 PM

Cool - you edited your post whilst I was typing my reply.

You said to look for:
list( $pptemplate, $adtype ) = mysql_fetch_row($adtypes);
ppmysql_free_result($adtypes);

I assume you meant to type look for:
list( $pptemplate ) = mysql_fetch_row($adtypes);
ppmysql_free_result($adtypes);

I'm very happy to say it works!!! Thank you very much!!!
