Simbul - You're right. My admin path is /home/user_name/public_html/gallery/photos
I was typing late @ night, and didn't proofread my message.

I changed the folder name from "zen" to "photos" (via my FTP app), b/c someone wrote that you couldn't have the name "zen" in any part of your path structure if mod_rewrite was enabled. Mod_rewrite is enabled on my blog, so I changed the name of the "zen" directory to "photos."

I have tried using both "zen" and "photos" as the admin directory. Both create a blank (white, totally empty) popup box, when I click on the ZP button.

How do I get the popup box to display ZenPhoto options? I don't understand why I'm getting a white/blank popup box.

@yzhang: just a guess... maybe the first installation is Wordpress 2.0 and the second one is 2.1? As far as my test goes, ZenPress 1.2.2 shouldn't work on Wordpress 2.0.x.

@jcb86: As far as I know the mod_rewrite/zen problem has been resolved long ago. You could try going back to the default path and see if something changes.

Simbul - Thanks, but the default path was what I tried FIRST.

Then, when the pop-up screen was blank, I came to this forum, and started reading this thread. According to this thread, it was suggested that mod_rewrite could be the problem, and that you should rename anything called "zen" to something else. So, I changed "zen" to photos---inside the Admin path, and on the server.

I'm still seeing the blank, white pop-up box (when I click on the ZP button). Any other suggestions?

I don't understand what could be causing this.

Hey Simbul :-)
I get this annoying TinyMCE error

Warning: file_get_contents(/data/www/gunnar.lundstrom.nu/http/wp-includes/js/tinymce/plugins/editor_plugin.js) [function.file-get-contents]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /data/www/gunnar.lundstrom.nu/http/wp-includes/js/tinymce/tiny_mce_gzip.php on line 178

If you move the contents of the tinymce included with the plugin to
wp-includes/js/tinymce/plugins/ it'll work again. I don't mind doing that (although I'd recommend putting it in the docs), but shouldn't it be in a zenpress directory in the plugins folder - like the other plugins?

Wordpress 2.1, ZenPhoto CVS, ZenPress 1.2.2

[i]Edit: I should learn to spel sometime[/i]

@digits: Since ZenPress 1.2 you shouldn't need to put anything in the wp-includes folder anymore. Forgive me if my question is stupid, but are you sure you installed Wordpress 2.1?

@jcb86: I don't understand either. With no error message, it is kinda hard to know what's going on. Do you think you can have a look at apache's error log?

I am sure, I just downloaded it the day before yesterday.
If you want send me a mail, and you can get admin access on the blog to scout the errors - shell access can be given too if needed.

Simbul - Thanks, how would I access Apache's error log?

I can send you FTP login details and WP access details, if that would help you troubleshoot the problem. I just want to get ZenPress working!

P.S. Do I need to have ZenPhoto installed along with ZenPress? Could that be causing the problem? Right now, I only have ZenPress installed.

@jcb86: How could you even have an admin path if you didn't have Zenphoto installed? Anyway, ZenPress is meant to work together with Zenphoto and Wordpress, but it does not provide either: try installing Zenphoto and see if it works

@digits: I'm sorry, but I can't possibily manage to find the time to look into every single ZenPress not-working installation
From the look of the error you posted, it seems like TinyMCE is looking for a missing plugin where it shouldn't. Did you by any chance upgrade from an old Wordpress or ZenPress version?

No it's a clean install of both, well I had 1.0.7 before, but I deleted that (including the database) to update to SVN.

Thanks Simbul. Good news - ZenPress is now working. The reason the popup box was totally blank (when the ZP button was clicked) was because I installed ZenPress, without ZenPhoto. I figured that ZenPress was a stand-alone plugin developed for Wordpress.

By the way, "Admin path" means absolutely nothing to me. I'm not a developer. I didn't realize that ZenPress depended on ZenPhoto being installed, too.

Once I installed ZenPhoto, the problem resolved itself. Could you add a "ReadMe" to the ZenPress zip file that states that ZenPhoto must be installed too? That would be a huge help for us "clueless" non-developers. ;-)

@Simbul, don't worry, it actually is obvious to most people that ZenPress is a plugin for integrating Zenphoto and Wordpress. From your home page:

"ZenPress is a plugin for WordPress. It is designed to provide an easy way to include Zenphoto images into your blog posts. ZenPress has been designed and tested on WordPress 2.1 and Zenphoto 1.0.6."

Then further down:
"Insert the URL of your Zenphoto gallery."

It's pretty darn obvious that it requires zenphoto... and no, you don't need to be a developer to realize that, you just need to be able to read English...... PEBKAC ;-) You could have a little section at the top of the page about requirements though, that would help avoid... further confusion chuckle.

@jcb86 - I suppose without it being stated explicitly that it's understandable that you missed the fact. :-)

@simbul. I made sure the wiki at http://www.zenphoto.org/trac/wiki/ZenphotoPlugins also reflects that it is a zenphoto plugin for wordpress as Tristan stated, and the text is verbatim from your site. i'm keeping an eye on any major changes by you and i'll keep the wiki up to date as required.

Okay I also managed to got it to work. I copied the entire contents of the tinymce folder directly into /wp-includes/js/tinymce/plugins

It looks a bit messy in that folder but at least the tinymce is working now.

This behavior is really strange. I'll try to look into it but I'm not sure I'll be able to replicate the issue...

hi, I'm also having the same problem as others.

I disabled a previous version of Zenpress, upgraded from WP 2 to Wordpress 2.1, upgraded Zenphoto to latest (1.0.7), and everything works fine, except the Zenpress plugin.

I double-checked my base path info, my zenphoto path, no trailing slashes, and I also disabled every other plugin and this is the only one that breaks the TinyMCE, so I don't get the WYSIWYG buttons or ZenPress icon... I even copied the TinyMCE folder in the wp-includes/TinyMCE folder

any ideas?

thanks

@Simbul,
As an FYI.. I am using your ZenPress on Seal (the singer)'s website. You can see it in action here at www.seal.com/blog

The photo cropping thing is still somewhat of an issue, so I am going to just go with a maximum width.. but we did end up with a weird (but rather cool) crop of the pic of the guy in front of the airplane.. Seal actually dug it.. so we kept it.

If you are a fan of Seal's music, he'd love to meet you if he is ever on tour in your town (he is a total gadget/technology freak!). I'll email you on your website.

Thanks,

Charles

This is a "me too" post: ZenPress 1.2.2 doesn't work with WordPress 2.1 and Zenphoto 1.0.7. There seems to be a problem with TinyMCE. I use IE7 and I haven't tried other browsers yet (sorry, I'm in a hurry...).

Groeten, Miriam

While I am not affected evidently by the TinyMCE editor issues above (mine is working OK on a ZP SVN Rev 363, WP 2.1, and Zenpress 1.2.2), I did notice a problem with the new mod_rewrite functionality. I was working on a completely unrelated thing last week that Tristan helped me solve, and it turns out that Zenpress suffers from the same issue.

In the classes.php file, this section of code:

`

        `

is what is at issue. Note the $thumbpath line is what I have modified, removing the urlencode after the $zp_web_path variable. Tristan has a custom pathurlencode in his function arsenal, which solves the problem nicely for zenphoto. The problem is that the image thumbs don't display, and the URL for the thumb has a %20 in the division between albums.

I think what I did fixed it, but you might want to check it out on a mod_rewrite enabled subalbum version of zenphoto to see if you can replicate the problem. I don't know if just removing the urlencode in both places is sufficient for everyone's setup. You might want to take a peek at Tristan's pathurlencode and see if that's something you want to include (if it's OK with Tristan) in your code as well.

@thinkdreams: I'll check this one too. Just to be sure: do you mean the urlencode() on the album is causing trouble when the name of the album has a blank space in it? Understanding this would really help me when trying to replicate the issue.

@miriam: Well, it's clear the problem is a little worse than I thought. Anyone else experiencing it would be so kind as to tell me which browser they use?

@chazzzzy: I'm not a fan of him, but it's nice to know he's appreciating ZenPress. Thanks

Nope, it looked to be the / in between the albums that was being turned into a %20 character. spaces are generally turned into + characters using urlencode, at least based on what I read here:

http://us3.php.net/urlencode

Tristan suggested using the pathurlencode from zenphoto's core functions to handle it better in my previous application. Here's the function from his functions.php:

`// rawurlencode function that is path-safe (does not encode /)

function pathurlencode($path) {

return implode("/", array_map("rawurlencode", explode("/", $path)));

}`

This may work OK for you. I think Tristan would be OK with you using it.
