Thanks a lot for the great job.

Laurent

Congrats on the newest release! Thanks for the work you two put into zenphoto.

@Laurent: There is no .htaccess file included because setup.php creates it if it doesn't already exist. The default .htaccess is now in `zp-core/htaccess`.

Oups, very sorry. I'll edit my previous post

Thanks

No worries I just realized that particular change isn't listed in the changelog.

Sorry to be a pain re: htaccess. I'm trying to upgrade from 1.2.6_RC1. Although I have not integrated Zenphoto with WordPress, the latter is in my root folder, so Zenphoto is effectively a subfolder within the 'root' WordPress.

Previous versions with .htaccess in the Zenphoto root always allowed it to display properly. Now I am getting a 404 error (page Not found - WordPress message) everytime I load the subfolder, despite editing the "htaccess" file (it's not called .htaccess?) in zp-core.

Any advice would be much appreciated

The file needs to be placed in the root folder of your Zenphoto install and renamed `.htaccess`. Setup should have done that for you, but if it did not, then you will have to do so.

[b]note:[/b] Setup will only copy this file if it is not an upgrade install. This is so that it will not replace a `.htaccess` file you have deliberately removed.

Nice new features in the update. Thanks!

But, the "Default" theme does not work correctly with the new version.

Another error - this time using the "Zenphoto default" theme.

On each image, I get the error,

"Fatal error: Call to undefined function getimagemetadata() in /home4/valaddso/public_html/RileyGallery/themes/zenpage-default/image.php on line 86"

More info on the "Default" theme issue.

When I try to view an image, I get this error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function is_valid_video() in /home4/valaddso/public_html/RileyGallery/zp-core/template-functions.php on line 2628

Surely someting is corrupt in your install. getimagemetadata() is defined in the template-functions.php script. Likewise, templtate-functions.php line 2628 is `* @return string`, part of a comment.

Perhaps you have an old version of that script instead of the one from 1.2.7?

sounds like either the theme or the script could be out of date.

i got similar errors, but with a custom theme. then i realized that some functions were renamed, such as getImageEXIFData() being now getImageMetaData()

I tried to upgrade from 1.2.6 to 1.2.7...earlier setup page opened...And I just checked permissions dialog to something (don't remember but url said it as =2) and now it just returns 404 error.

I have zp-config.php in zp-core directory now, .htaccess is also there...but still 404 error.

Error_log shows:

[02-Dec-2009 01:23:21] PHP Warning: Missing argument 2 for getPlugin(), called in /home/user/public_html/siteurl.com/gallery/index.php on line 96 and defined in /home/user/public_html/siteurl.com/gallery/zp-core/functions.php on line 628
[02-Dec-2009 01:23:21] PHP Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required '' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/user/public_html/siteurl.com/gallery/index.php on line 96

Pls help.

`zp-config.php` should be located in `zp-data` after running setup as well as the htaccess file.

Flawless upgrade from the nightlies. Great work to the developers, looking forward to using Zenphohto for ages to come.

Two things that are not working for me after upgrading to 1.2.7:

1. First I always had the .htaccess file in the root folder of ZP. I read here and there that it should now be placed in /zp-data, but doing so makes it impossible to reach the subalbums. Placing it back to the root folder fixes the problem. How can I place .htaccess into /zp-data without problems?

2. I have a dynamic album, but the slideshow doesn't work for that album. It seems to keep loading forever.

Upgraded smoothly.

Moved my plugins into plugins/ dir(outside from zp-core) and cannot get it working. Any comments on this change? Should I patch my plugins to use the new path(I use PLUGIN_FOLDER as in examples)? Any instructions?

@jackdaw:
1. No, the `.htaccess` file should be as ever in the root of your Zenphoto install. The template for it is in `zp-core` and will be used by setup to create that file if it does not exist. If you already have one you can keep it actually.
Different since 1.2.6 actually is that the `zp-config.php` file should be in `zp-data`. You can copy your existing over. Also the template tat is also in `zp-core` will be used to create a new one by setup.

2. Actually we had fixed that. Sure that you have the correct file of the slidesshow?

@divan: What plugins? Only third party / custom made ones should go there. All standard ones that come with the release should remain in `zp-core/zp-extensions`.

is it me, or is uploading photos through the admin backend not pulling dates from the photos anymore? the date used to be when the photo was taken, but now the date is when the photo was uploaded.

@rid:
tested with 1.2.7 - dates are taken from EXIF correctly.

@acrylian:
I've made some plugins, one of them - image-bulkedit plugin, based on image-massedit plugin. I used massedit as a template. So, now, after upgrading to 1.2.7, in respect to the new policy of plugins and extensions, I copied my plugin to the zenphoto/plugins/ directory and it stopped working. I investigated changes in new image-massedit plugin to understand what have been changed, but nevertheless there were some problems with pathes. So I simply moved my plugin to the zp-core/zp-extensions and it work. But I beleive the plugins should work flawlessly after moving from 1.2.6's zp-core/plugins/ dir to the 1.2.7's /plugins/, shouldn't they? Or some instructions for 'porting' should be provided for plugin writers to avoid such things.
