Hello,

I use Zenphoto 1.2.2 (default theme) and Joomla 1.5.14.
I have a problem with the slideshow function : it appears in a little frame in the joomla window.
How can i display it in the all frame of joomla : i have this problem only with the slideshow.
Any idea to display the slideshow in the frame that use zenphoto ?

Any idea
Thanks

Juste for information, i used jQuery for the slideshow, the flash mode doesn't work ...

Regards

Besides the fact that 1.2.2 is quite old, the flash mode of the slideshow requires the flowplayer plugin to be activated.
You can't call the slideshow directly as it is dependend on data submitted via a form by $_POST.

The current 1.2.6 release's slideshow has the ability to call the slideshow directly by passing an album object. See the documentation about that.

The problem is that i can't use the new version 1.2.6 : i get an error : MySQL Error: Zenphoto could not connect to the database server.
The zp-config.php is also good.

With 1.2.2, the flowplayer is installed but the flash slideshow doesn't worked : i get an blank screen => no slidesowh started.

Any idea ??

thanks

Well, you will have to resolve teh MySQL connection error. Most likely you have put the wrong information in the zp-config.php file. The error means that the user/password you supplied for the database is not correct or the server/database parameters do not point to the MySQL databaase.

There is nothing going to happen with 1.2.2 unless you do it your self. You are on your own with older releases.

I WANT to use the new version of course !!
I'm sure to put the good informations in the zp-config.php file.
I tried one more time. These information worked perfectly with the 1.2.2 version but with the 1.2.6 ... i get the error.

Have you tried using zenphoto without Joomala? Perhaps there is a conflict.

Anyway, if the data is correct and does not get masked you will get a connection. So if you are not getting a connection, then the data at the point in time of the connection is wrong.

I also tried without Joomla.
The data is correct, it works with 1.2.2 ...
I used exactly the same.

I don't konw what to do now ...

Give up, then.

Your data is wrong or your are getting some kind of error trying to use it. If your data was correct you would be getting corrected. If I had a nickel for everyone who has insisted that the data was correct and was later embarased because they had made a small (it could not matter) change I would be a rich man.

1.1.2 connects to the database exactly the same way that 1.2.6 does. It uses exactly the same parameters. I suggest you look at the zp-data/zp-config.php file and verify that it has in it what you think you put there.

Simply, i tried to use the same file zp-config.php (a copy/cut) : not good !
Well ?

If i'm getting some kinf of error trying to use my data, i tried here to have idea to search the solution ...

Regards

How about entering the data in the new zp-config.php file that comes with the installation again or just deleting the old one and running setup? There you can enter your details again.

I delete the file and run setup.php.
It appears a page with information but nothing to create the config file.

The page say problem with php version which is 4.4.3 and it requires 4.4.8.
Perhaps this configuraton can't acces the database ... ?

Here is the page (in french, sorry) :

We can't test lower than php 4.4.8. so we don't know if it works on 4.3. You will find out by reviewing your server's error log.

The other issues are actually explained. About safe mode see also the troubleshooting entry on our site.
