Search function not working & other problems...

[blackdog]

Hi,

I recently updated my PhotoPost site from 6.0 to 7.0. I hoped that this would fix the search feature on my site which had not been working for several months, but it hasn't, so now I'm trying to figure out what's going wrong. When I click "search", this is what comes up on the search.php page...

We're sorry, but the system experienced an unrecoverable error. Please try again later.

Script:

Query: DELETE FROM ppsearchids WHERE date < 1261074135

Result: Table 'g503photopost.ppsearchids' doesn't exist

Database handle: Resource id #6

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Another problem I'm having with the new version is that I'm unable to get to the large versions of images (medium for me is 650px wide, large is 950px wide)... it used to be that I could just click the medium image to see the larger version, but this is no longer the case. The medium image is displayed and is no longer a "link".

The "popup window" feature fixes this problem, but I don't like how and where the popup window opens. I tried enabling the lightbox feature and it does not seem to work.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Thanks,

Brian

That error tells me you have not ran your upgrades because there should most definately be a searchids table in photopost it was added back in version 5.5 along time ago.

Chuck,

I started with PP on a rented dedicated server. Installed it myself at that time and upgraded it at least once. But when I moved to a colocated Windows server I was having problems, so I paid for the installation/upgrade service and you ended up installing it on the new server. That was the last time the software was updated prior to now, and I have once again changed hosting - now to shared hosting. However, I do know that the search function has not worked since at least before this latest upgrade and move.

Is there any way for me to manually insert this table somehow? I did check phpMyAdmin and it is indeed missing.

Thanks,

Brian

You could run the 55 upgrade or try inserting it like this in phpmyadmin. Make sure to use your correct table prefix
