Photopost 5.12: Sort photos in album not working(FIXED)

Pauline Kenny · July 4th, 2005, 09:43 PM

When I go to My Albums and click "Sort Photos", I get the "PhotoPost Album Photo Sorting Interface" page (misc.php?action=orderphotos&cat=3010). I put numbers in to sort the photos in that order, but the photos do not change to that order (not on that screen or in the album).

Two users reported this AFTER our upgrade to 5.11 (it worked before) and I upgraded tonight to 5.12 and tried it myself and cannot get the sort to work.

Also the "Make Album Cover" link on that page does not change the album thumbnail, but it changes if I go to the image and click the Make Album Cover link there.

Has something changed with 5.11 and 5.12?

well in misc.php as far as the thumbnail thing lines 859-865 should be changed to this. I will need to look at the sort thing more closely.

Ditto that the sort order is not functioning.

Yep not an easy track down

Well the sort order does change in the database when you edit an album and change the sort

I was having an issue but then realized I had some stuck images in my album I made then unsticky then changed sort and it works fine.

Make sure this is not the issue with you.

I checked and none of the images were sticky (I don't use that feature).

These are the steps I do:
1. Click My Albums.
2. In the list of albums, I pick one and click "Sort Photos".
3. This brings up the misc.php page showing thumbnails of all the photos in this album. I type in numbers from 1 to 4 for a few of the photos (all are set on zero). Then I click the submit button.
4. The page refreshes but the order had not changed. When I got and look at the album, the order has not changed.

Member uploading new albums, who have been using this software for awhile, noticed that with this release they could no longer sort their albums.

Okay were talking two separate sorts here LOL

Let me check the other one. I was talking manage albums edit album and then pick a default sort

Chuck S · July 10th, 2005, 09:24 PM

Okay easy one

In misc.php add the code in bold to the request line

Code:

Pauline Kenny · July 10th, 2005, 09:44 PM

That fixed it for me.

Will you be putting out a new release with these two fixes? I run PhotoPost on another site and have not upgraded to 5.1 yet - was waiting to see if this got fixed.

Chuck S · July 10th, 2005, 10:05 PM

There are no open issues with Photopost so cant say we will issue a new release just for this. More than likely we will just add this to the build so anyone else downloading this will not be affected by this.

mjm · July 10th, 2005, 11:18 PM

Sweet! Thank you.
Album pic sort order is working now.

Re: Albums sort order ... hadn't tried that yet, and you're right, they're not sorting fully.
Have set up 4 test albums.
They show correctly sorted in My Albums interface,
but at My Photos albums sort show as ... 1 - 3 - 2 - 4

I did the update to 5.13 and notice the misc.php does not have the change as above.
Should I make the change in the new misc.php file as stated above.

Chuck S · July 11th, 2005, 08:07 PM

Interesting I will let Michael know

Yes make the change

iloco · July 11th, 2005, 08:10 PM

Thanks, I thought the change would have been in the new set of files. No problem, I will make the change.
Nice to see you back from Vacation chuck.

Michael P · July 11th, 2005, 09:06 PM

I'll update the build, sorry about that.

Chuck S · July 11th, 2005, 10:40 PM

Yes Vacations are nice

Only bad thing is coming back and getting back into the swing of things.

I downloaded new files this morning(5.13) and notice that this code still hasn't been replaced after Michael said he would add it to new files last nite in his reply.
Am I missing something and maybe this was added a different way is reason for my missing it or it hasn't been added yet to new downloads.

Just curious if I am doing something wrong.

Chuck S · July 12th, 2005, 09:47 AM

Check the 6th line of the request on the file its there

'thecount' => INT, 'ppaction' => STRING, 'implode' => INT, 'expand' => INT, 'pid' => INT,
'login' => STRING, 'desc' => STRING));

iloco · July 12th, 2005, 12:54 PM

Ok I was looking for code as you had said above to change. I changed to new file so all should be ok now. Thanks

Pauline Kenny · July 18th, 2005, 12:17 AM

If I do the 5.13 upgrade, are both these things fixed in it now (sort order for personal albums and make album cover)?
