User Comments and Dates(NOT A BUG)

CaddisNJF · August 20th, 2005, 05:46 PM

2 items.

The first... When posting comments, they sometimes show up and at other times, they vanish. I receive an email when comments are made, with a link to the photo the comment was made to. When I view the link, such as this one http://www.njflyfishing.com/photopos...php?photo=2598 the comment that was emailed to me is not there.

The second item is that when a comment does get through, the date is not posted with it, only the time.

Thanks for the help.

You sure the user is not deleting the comment?

I'm 1000% positive. As a matter of fact, when a user realizes that his/her post was not made, they try over and over again, resulting in me receiving numerous emails of the same post.

I've tried posting myself and I get the same results. I believe you can give it a try too... Unregistered users are able to post comments.

How bout the date thing?

Well I just posted a comment with no problem on your site and this is nothing I can replicate on mine

http://www.njflyfishing.com/photopos...php?photo=2598

On the date again it shows fine on over 5 different sites I have viewed

This is right in showphoto.php

$imgtime[$itemnum] = formatpptime( $date );
$imgdate[$itemnum] = formatppdate( $date );

I would suggest make sure you upload the latest files to ensure your dont have a mix of old and new files which may give some odd behavior.

This is right in the template as well for showphoto.tmpl

{$imgdate[$x]} {$imgtime[$x]}

I'm not sure if you read the very first sentence in my first post within this thread, it specificially says, "Sometimes".

I'm not talking about 5 different sites. I'm talking about my site and I'm asking what I can do to fix the issue I'm having. I see that you posted a few suggestions to try, and I will certainly get back with the results.

Thanks

Chuck S · August 21st, 2005, 06:20 PM

Yes I read what you wrote and gave you suggestions.

Your results are certainly not normal. Given your issue I posted the one suggestion you can try to make sure you upload all the clean files and see.

As stated I have tested comments and see no issues and the coding on the data/time as I have shown is correct

I'm getting a comment problem as well. Seems I'm the only person that can post comments. I believe that I've changed all the setting to let any registered user to leave comments but for now.... I'm the only one that can.

Hello double check your usergroup permissions to post comments. Double check the category permissions under edit cats in admin as well to see you have permission to post comments

Plus in admin options this needs to be set to yes as well

Allow users to post comments. YES

Motley.com · August 29th, 2005, 10:15 AM

I changed the usergroup permissions but for some reason it didn't "stick" and went back to no. I had to try several more times and then the option finally took and is no set to yes. Hopefully that will take care of this issue.

Thanks!!!!

I'm not sure why you would say that this is not a bug. I've reuploaded ALL necessary files. (I deleted all of the old ones first). I've also confirmed the following:

This is right in showphoto.php

$imgtime[$itemnum] = formatpptime( $date );
$imgdate[$itemnum] = formatppdate( $date );

I'm still not getting a date to show up. The time shows up, but not the date.

Thanks

It is not a bug as I have viewed several photopost sites and it displays fine also in showphoto.php is the code your linking and right in the showphoto.tmpl is the code I also meantion

{$imgdate[$x]} {$imgtime[$x]}

So where is the bug?

The only explanation here is one of those two files can not be right from what I am seeing

Here is a link on our site

http://www.photopost.com/photopost/s...o=5556&cat=500

Here is a link on my site

http://www.reeftalk.com/gallery/showphoto.php/photo/429

Here is a link on Michael's site

http://www.viperalley.com/gallery/sh...hp/photo/10475

I am more than happy to post a bug fix if I see a bug as you already know

I find and squash more bugs than anyone.

CaddisNJF · August 29th, 2005, 11:52 AM

I dunno where the bug is? I'm not a coder!

The code you mention for the showphoto.tmpl also matches what you have written above. Anyhow, I remain confident that you'll be able to help.

Chuck S · August 29th, 2005, 12:36 PM

I dont see a thing in the code my friend if your telling me your files match the code I have specified in post 4 as that is the proper code and displays correctly on every photopost site I go to

CaddisNJF · September 16th, 2005, 02:50 PM

Ok... I see we've abandoned me here... Too bad, because I've been a customer for quite some time and just the other day I patronized you even further by purchasing reviewpost (which you don't want to seem to support either).

For this problem (The Date issue), you can at least tell me that it's a server issue or something. My code was uploaded to the server just as it was supplied to me by your download page. No modifications were made once they were uploaded.

You mention the following:

Quote:

This is right in showphoto.php

$imgtime[$itemnum] = formatpptime( $date );
$imgdate[$itemnum] = formatppdate( $date );

I would suggest make sure you upload the latest files to ensure your dont have a mix of old and new files which may give some odd behavior.

This is right in the template as well for showphoto.tmpl

{$imgdate[$x]} {$imgtime[$x]}

Specifically, "This is right in the template". My comment to that quote is, so what, it doesn't work. If you paid someone for a magic key that opened every car door in the parking lot except for your car door and you called the magic key maker and he says, "It works for all the others, it should work for yours too". What would you do? I almost feel as if you're calling me a liar. I'm telling you that it doesn't work, regardless of what is in the code. We both agree that it should work. As far as I'm concerned, it's a bug.

It might work on 100 other sites that you visit. I'm telling you that it doesn't work on mine. I've followed your suggestions (Removed old files, uploaded new ones). Are there any other meaningful suggestions.

Sorry to sound like a d!#k, but put yourself in my position after asking a few questions and getting this type of response.

Chuck S · September 16th, 2005, 05:01 PM

Hello

No one abandoned you. I replied to you suggested that you download the software are reinstall your files. This is not something we see on any other install

You have not replied to this thread in 2 weeks since my last reply

You may email with site details to look at it.

zemic · September 20th, 2005, 06:37 AM

Hi,

Just to confirm I'm having exact same problem posting comments! Some users are able to others are not. Ive allowed all users to post comments; my comments as admin dont come up!

Im using VB 3.5 RC3 , and Photopost 5.14. The same problem was happening with RC2. If there is a fix, can it be posted here please. Thanks

Chuck S · September 20th, 2005, 09:19 AM

Well we would need some information and specifics on the exact nature of the issue. I use VB3 myself and have no issues so its a matter of finding out specifics to see how we can assist.

Is it only the actual photo owners who can not post a comment and is this only the quickreply your talking about?
