Album Thumb "Image Pending Approval"

BrownieScraps · August 27th, 2008, 01:21 PM

I've tried searching the forums for an answer, but couldn't find one.

The issue:

I'm an admin of a PhotoPost gallery site. We're just starting the site up, but a few are already posting images. I've posted a few, and I just added some albums and put some images in each one. I've selected an image to be the album cover, but all that shows up is the "Image Pending Approval" image.

In my search, I came across this thread:
"Image Pending Approval"

but it didn't really provide a solution.

I do not have moderation turned on. Each user group is set to have moderation off, so all image should show up immediately.

I've run the query listed in the post I found and got 0 results.

I can't seem to figure out why the "Image Pending Approval" image shows up for the album cover. The image itself shows up just fine.

Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Make sure set the "Require Moderation?" to no on the specified user group you are uploading from?

Have you checked under admin for the approved images? Admin--> approve photos

Correct if you get image pending approval it would be in the approval que awaiting moderation by an admin so you need to approve it and then if you do not wish moderation under edit usergroups in admin turn off moderation.

Right, and this was my first thought, but when I go into the Admin interface, there are no photos awaiting approval; the queue is empty.

Also, 'Require Moderation' is set to 'No' for every usergroup we've got.

It's just the thumbnail for the album cover that shows the 'Image Pending Approval'. The image itself is completely viewable by everyone.

This really has me stumped

Do you have a site URL we can see?

Have you tried regenerating the thumbs?

Are any thumbs Showing?

Chuck S · August 27th, 2008, 08:18 PM

All albums - Brownie Scraps Gallery

I do not see any missing thumbnails and there are only two albums

skidpics · August 27th, 2008, 08:20 PM

verified. I only see a total of 4 photos.

Sure, the gallery is at Main Index - Brownie Scraps Gallery. The issue can be seen specifically in my gallery: leenielouwho Gallery - Brownie Scraps Gallery. The images for 2 of the albums that I created are what's up here. All other thumbnails are just fine.

And no, I haven't tried regenerating the thumbs? How would I do that? And would it really be necessary since all other thumbs are ok?

Admin --> scan database - Check rebuild all thumbs..

Ok, so where you linked to it's just fine, however, it still shows here: leenielouwho Gallery - Brownie Scraps Gallery

Ok, just did it. It didn't help: leenielouwho Gallery - Brownie Scraps Gallery

well the issue as I see it is somehow the image is not truly in a gallery that you have set the thumbnail for.

Just trying to understand what you did.

In showgallery.php try removing this line 449

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

Ok, I commented that section out. What are you looking to have happen?

Chuck S · August 28th, 2008, 05:20 AM

I was seeing if it was going to load the image right

However the problem is right here

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

If you run this query in the database do results get printed out

SELECT * FROM pp_photos WHERE approved=0;

BrownieScraps · August 28th, 2008, 08:35 AM

Nope, when I run that query I get no results:

MySQL returned an empty result set (i.e. zero rows).

Oh, and a little more information just in case it's not obvious.

When I originally uploaded the photos that are currently involved in this issue, I had not yet created any Personal Albums. I had simply uploaded the images to 'Members Gallery'. They showed up fine when I viewed 'My Photos'. Then I created the Personal Albums. I edited each photo that I had already uploaded and chose the appropriate Personal Album in the 'Copy To' field. Then I viewed each Personal Album and chose a photo to use as the album cover. That's when this issue began.

That said, as a test, I just uploaded another image and put it straight into a Personal Album (Danielle - Year 2) instead of Member Galleries. This image uploaded fine and already shows as the album cover.

Now, looking at the edit image screen, I may very well be able to change the category to which the image is related to (using the 'Change Category' drop-down) and choose the Personal Album that I want the image to be in that that may very well fix the problem, but I'm still thinking that even as I have my photos now that this issue shouldn't exist, so I'll leave them alone for now.

Also, that code that you had me comment out previously, should I go back and un-comment it since commenting it didn't seem to do anything?

Chuck S · August 28th, 2008, 07:42 PM

Right but the image that is displayed is only called veru few places in the entire program.

For the place your seeing it would be where I noted in pp-inc.php when you pass the image info to get the image thumb approved is coming in at 0

This is the code in showgallery approved is definately being pulled and defined and yours comes back as 0

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

Is anything under approve images in admin?

Nope, it's empty. I get the 'No photos need approval at this time' message. That's it.

You would have to send us full server info under the contact link above in our header because if you look at the code the only place we call that image for the thumbnail generation is one single place and it is as posted.

Ok, just tell me what information you need and I'll send it along.
