Gallery 1.4.1 , PHP 4.2.3, Apache 1.3.27
http://mjssaloon.com/gallery

I have tried to search the forums for a possible solution to this problem, but havent found any results when searching for "no highlight".
Just recently installed gallery and everything went just fine and dandy, however, one of my users started a new album on the main gallery page last week and in the normal spot where it would show a thumbnail of one of the pics in the album, its just blank and has a hyperlink "no highlight" I cannot figure out how to change that to one of the pics in the album.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thnx in advance

humperdink001, log in, and use the dropdown under the picture you want as a higlight, and select "highlight picture".

I have exactly the same problem as both humperdink001 and sarcasticprick.
I updated from 1.3.3 to 1.4.2-RC2 and all the pre-existing highlight thumbs on my main gallery page disappeared.
The highlight jpeg images do exist in the respective album subdirectories (they can be identified by a 'highlight' suffix in the filename), but do not appear.
The HTML source for the highlight cell in the main gallery page reads :
<!-- Begin Image Cell -->
... Stuff ...
<td width="" height="" bgcolor="black" width="1"><a href=""></a></span>
... Stuff ...
<!-- End Image Cell -->
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks :)
Sidd.

Same problem here: after upgrading from 1.4 to 1.4.1-pl1 I can't select highlighted images anymore. After selecting "highlight" image on the album page, the popup opens and server "thinks" for quite a long time (compared to 1.4 setup). After that, the images page reloads. If I go to the top gallery page, I can see "No highlights" string instead of the highlighted image.

I've noticed that when I try to highlight an image XYZ.jpg, the server creates several files in the album folder.
XYZ.highlight.jpg.0
XYZ.highlight.jpg.1
XYZ.highlight.jpg.2
XYZ.highlight.jpg.3
XYZ.highlight.jpg.4
XYZ.highlight.jpg.5
XYZ.highlight.jpg.6
and files from XYZ.highlight.jpg.0 to XYZ.jpg.highlight.5 all have the same very small size (500-700 bytes) and file XYZ.highlight.jpg.6 has normal "highlight" image size (~35K). I have checked web servers logs and there is nothing interesting. Permissions are also OK.

BTW, I've also tried 1.4.2-RC1 and 1.4.2-RC2 with same results but after returning to my 1.4 setup everything works fine again.

Please let me know if you'll need more help debugging this problem.

Thanks!

Please add my very anxious voice to the need for a solution. Guess I have to go back to the earlier version but not sure how to do that without blowing up the program. Do I simply download and untar the old program?

Thanks

I'm having the same issue - but I don't even have the "No Highlight" block, there's simply no image or spot for it on my top level. It works for sub-albums tho... ?

<EDIT 3 mins later>

AHa! Found the answer here . You need to upload the new wrapper files.

For more information about this release, see the documentation as
described in the README.

1.4.1: Note for UPGRADING existing Galleries
============================================
[this is in addition to the upgrading instructions found at
http://gallery.sf.net/docs.php ]

This is for users upgrading from older versions of Gallery to 1.4.1.
As you can see, we have made Gallery much more configurable. This
means that it if you have customized your style sheets, you will
need to make a small change to keep your Gallery looking good.

If you have a file called gallery/css/embedded_style.css (ie
without the ".default" ending) you should update it. Download your
version, open it in Notepad, and cut and paste the contents of
gallery/css/embedded_style.css.diff to the end. You can configure
the new classes if you want to, and then upload the new version to
your website.

You do not need to make any changes to standalone.css.

Gallery 1.4.1 also has configurable image frames. If you have customized
frames for your images, they should still work with 1.4.1.
However, if you would like to use the new frames, you will need to
remove the following files, as appropriate:
html_wrap/inline_albumthumb.frame html_wrap/inline_photo.frame
html_wrap/inline_gallerythumb.frame html_wrap/inline_photothumb.frame
html_wrap/inline_moviethumb.frame
