View album (admin) back to View gallery on save

Not sure if bug or intentional:

I'm logged in as Admin. Viewing my album and noting errors/typos. When I modify the text or add comment, upon Save I am taken back to the index of my Galleries (all of them) instead of staying on the page I'm editing.

    This is still happening. I edit an image's descriptive text and on Save, it justs bag to the gallery intro page.

    Mac OS X 10.3.9 / Safari 1.3.2 (v312.6) / Zenphoto 1278 build

    Sorry, I can't reproduced that either with 1.1.5 nor the nightly. I don't have Safari 1.3 though (running 10.4.11 with Safari 3). Is it in other browser too?
  • macalter Member
    No, just Safari which is the last for 10.3.9 users. Make note then in case it's raised again. it's consistent at least, I hate random problems :) I'm doing next update build later as there was mention of something being change Wed night so didn't bother. I'll know not to look for this correction. No Tiger as I can't install my DVD drive.

    If you are not being taken back to the page you were on when you did the save, redirection is not working on you server.

    It works okay in Camino (Mozilla) so isn't server. Will try iCab.... be back...
  • macalter Member
    Okay, it's not exclusive to Safari! iCab just did the same thing. Only Camino handles. As for server... I'm on Dreamhost, your (zenphoto) new friend :-) So, would expect it not to be a server issue.

    Safari 1 and 2 have generally had problems with Ajax/Javascript. I recommend using Firefox/Camino for that. iCab is not perfect in that way either.
  • macalter Member
    I don't use iCab often, I only updated because I remember it from its inception years ago then it "disappeared". It's not that well-used, I think, just wanted to see what happened. At least I know it's "expected" behaviour for Safari (my version) as I have Mac friends that I'm recommending Zenphoto to and they too are only at 10.3.9/Safari.

    We generally expect Administrators to use modern browsers, so that means at *least* Safari 2 (preferably Safari 3), Camino, or any version of Firefox.

    If I had a mac and a copy of Safari 1 or 2 then I could test, but unfortunately I do not. A friend of mine has a mac, but uses Leopard and Safari 3 and Firefox, so that's no help.

    The functionality is not all lost - you can still use Zenphoto in any browser in the 'Edit' section of the admin. You should not generally expect AJAX to work seamlessly in older browsers.

    I cannot update to a "modern" browser as I'm using 10.3.9. And, so are many other Mac users that I'm in contact with and will receive the URL for my album (hopefully use zenphoto too :) Leopard is out of the question as I'm on too old a mac (sounds awful for a perfectly good 5 year old). This is the first time I've ever heard of Ajax implementation since its rumour days years ago.

    Any ideas of how to earn $5 Grand from a photo album????????? (To speed up my purchase of a new system)'

    Oh well...
  • trisweb Administrator
    Haha, fair enough I guess.

    If I get access to an older Safari I will be sure to test, until then this is an unfortunate limitation, and you'll have to live with it, or just use the Admin. :)
  • macalter Member
    hey, I'm just like those PC users still running Windows98 :) No wait, better! OS X 10.3.9 is newer
  • acrylian Administrator, Developer
    Yeah, the tied-in-system-browser Safari is one thing that makes Apple a little Microsoft like...So just use a Mozilla based browser.
    The editing works just fine with even a stone old version of Mozilla 1.5 (yeah, I still have that for testing, I even know a few people who still use very old Macs with OS 9!!!)

    BTW, I have myself no plan on updating to Leopard, too. My Mac (G4 with 10.4) is over 3 years old, too, and much too expensive here, to switch all the time...
