Bugs and questions

1. The "Statistics" link in admincp give just:

Quote:

PhotoPost 7.03 Now Available! with SEO/vB4 Support!

..no matter you have 5.6 or 7.1 installed. How to fix that?

2. One more bug. If you set up an utf-8 encoded language file (on the latest 7.1 build) and click on Logout, it gives a page with:

Quote:

Logging out! Please wait.
Click here if you do not want to wait any longer
(or if your browser does not automatically forward you)

and that page is always encoded in ISO-8859-1.
The rest works fine with utf-8.

3. And a second bug with codepage, no matter what encoding you have.. I go "Index Options", insert a non_english text in "Contents of the Announcement box?", click "Save Options". It converts that text in a gibberish.

4. Where can I increase a photo description title as I have only 11 non_english characters under utf-8 encoded page?

1. NOT A BUG

That is a news script that your pulling

2. That would be a bug. The forward function in pp-inc.php actually does not pass any encoding at all so it would be a 7 year old bug or more. You can try making your forward function this and it should work.

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

3. NOT A BUG.

language files are for the front end only as there are no language file components in admin panel thats all self contained files. You may need to alter your actual adm- files to load and support alternate languages and of course your database tables should be set to utf8 to support that not the default latin encoding in most databases so its all about having things set to do foreign languages.

4. well really to answer where are you talking about. The title field in the actual database has a limit of 75 characters in the database.

1. and how to pull the latest news then? even 7.1 has an announcement about 7.03 )

2. great! thank you! the 7-year bug has been finally fixed )

3. how to alter adm- files? all the database with all the tables are set to utf8, the language file converted also to utf8 has in meta:

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

4. I have the 11-characters problem at any categorie's thumbnail page. Near every thumb there is a name, right? And that is just 22 english characters and 11 non_english..
If the title field has a limit of 75 characters, why I have only 22? Where I can adjust that?

1. I will pass along your message but most likely we will next be updating our news script when we release version 8

3. Maybe admin-index.php

4. Your referring actually not to a limit but code we use on thumbnail displays to show only say the first 22 characters of a title as to not break site layouts. You could need to alter whichever file you talking about for instance on showgallery on the browsing of thumbnails in a category there is say this line you can change the 22 to a higher number but you do not want to get rid of the code everything is there for a reason.

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

3. Yes, I've found an encoding mentioning only in admin-index.php:

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

changed that to

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

but the same result with gibberish in output..

4. Ok, so could you please make a condition if there is a non_english character to give him 2 places instead of 1 to make a limit of 22 real characters altogether.. ?

5. How do you resize all the thumbnails from 100 to 150px on 7.1 build? I tried the next steps, without result .. :
Admin => Upload Photo Options => Thumbnail image max width and height in pixels => 150
Admin => Scan Database => Rebuild all thumbnails => Perform Tasks

I really can not comment on gibberish without seeing what your doing. I can not assist with code modification the title is suppose to be limited where I noted so you can alter the code at your own risk.

Yes how you said above is how you rebuild all thumbnails.

5. I do rebuild all thumbnails, but nothing happend. I have 7.1 installed..

Chuck S · November 12th, 2011, 02:03 PM

4. I can not assist you with modification of coding to work specifically how you want it to work. Like I said we limit the title to 22 characters you are free to alter that to be 50 characters whatever. That thought would be up to you.

5. If your rebuilding thumbnails they will rebuild try refreshing your browser otherwise you definately have to list a url and login.
