Hi!
1.4.3-RC2 release! Still some potential for undiscovered bugs, but hopefully most of the issues has been resolved between 1.4.3-RC1 and 1.4.3-RC2.
We have not been able to recompile NetPBM yet, but you should at least now be able to complete the config wizard without the missing binary.
Please report any issues you have with 1.4.3-RC2 here.
I'll add the reports to my list here, and update status messages on them as they get resolved.

I get the following error while configuring.
"Error: You must create empty file .htaccess and chmod it 777 before proceeding. See documentation for more details."
I get this error, I did create a empty .htaccess and chmod it 777, under albums and my /var/www folder. I see some entries in gallery/.htaccess, not sure if I should empty that out.
This is the first time I am seeing this issue. So I am not sure if its the upgrade or if I have messed up my system after my last gallery upgrade.
Any help ?
Thanks,
LS

Hi LoneShadow,
you have to create and chmod .htaccess and config.php in your gallery mainfolder.
Not in the albums folder.

Known problem: Image frame too tall in view_photo when fit-to-window is active.
Working on it...
Edit: Now fixed in CVS.

I did try re-creating an empty .htaccess file in gallery folder too. Same error. I just realized that I had modified some .htaccess for supporting watermark someone had mentioned in customization thread. Maybe I introduced some problem then.
This may not be a new upgrade issue. But the error displayed does not seem to go away even after creating a new .htaccess under gallery folder after chmoding 777 too.

--------------
Another Update.
I think I need to take this issue offline, I just tried going back to my 1.42 backup, when I tried to modify something and save the config, I didnt get .htaccess issue, but some other errors. I will ask for help if required in another thread.

I've had this problem with both RC-1 and RC-2... it refuses to Highlight a photo. The window open, closes, and nothing happens. It simply displays nothing in the area where it should be highlighted on the front page of the album. I don't think it's actually highlighting the photo, either.
This might have something to do with the fact that I have the normal thumbs for an album at 160, but the Highlights on the main album page are set for 80. But earlier versions of Gallery didn't have a problem with this...
If you need an URL: http://hoaxes.mooglecavern.com/albums.php Although it seems to be a common problem currently on the board, but I've not read a solution to it yet...

Your custom html_wrap/inline_gallerythumb.frame file has some out-of-date variable references.. look at the top of html_wrap/inline_imageframe.inc to see the current setup and update your gallerythumb to match. It should work after that.. I can see that it is creating the highlight image files with the correct size.

Kulock, mindless, is correct. This is FAQ Gallery:c.38

There is a bug in util.php, getNextPhoto(), introduced in 1.4.3.
If you have a hidden photo followed by an album that doesn't have EVERYBODY permission to view then view_album will show that album to guest user; when you click on it you jump back to gallery top level because it recognizes lack of permission.
Fixed in 1.4.4-cvs-b18; conferring with ckdake/bharat to see if this should go in 1.4.3.

Ah, I meant to just flat-overwrite everything with the new version, I guess my FTP program didn't do that for some reason. OK, I'll give that a shot, thanks.
Edit: Ah, that did it, I forgot I had copies of three of the framework files without the ".default" tag, so they weren't written over. Thanks again.

I get the same error, but my browser is configured with a proxy server which I guess the applet doesn't know about?

I just installed RC2 and I am STILL getting these errors when I try to watermark an image.
Im at a loss dude. I am not that intelligent when it comes to scripts.

Yes, I changed the "my domain" from the serverside info that was there.....I believe it was server login info. Wasnt to sure if that was a nono to post, cause someone could hack me persay.
I went to the netpbm download site and downloaded 10.21 or something and they had the pnmcomp file in there, but it was called pnmcomp.c I believe. So I uploaded it and still didnt recgonize it, so I removed the ".c", but got these errors.

Those files aren't binaries at all. That's the source for the project which needs to be compiled before it can be used.
You should read any "INSTALL" or "README" type files that are included in the distribution for instructions on how to compile the binaries.

I am getting a "hidden" picture in the slideshow. Is that a new thing? Don't have many hidden pictures so it may have always done that.
Posts: 8601
IDM_Webmaster, I believe someone on the gallery team is working on compiling the netpbm package including pnmcomp, so you won't have to.. stay tuned.
Posts: 8601
bodypainter, that's a bug.. thanks for the report.
H0bbel/Paour-- looks like the slideshow applet does not check the hidden flag or album permissions when it selects the slideshow items.
(I've also noticed a random-gallery-wide slideshow just picks the first N items and shows them in random order.. it doesn't pick N random items from the whole gallery.. not as serious a bug as above)

Hallo After upgrade do 143RC2 I found:
1: Watermark doesnot watermark
2: In normal slideshow I miss the blending effect
http://www.ideon.cz/makao
Posts: 2322
You need to verify that you have the correct binaries installed. "pnmcomp" for NetPBM, or "composite" for ImageMagick. If you don't have those binaries, watermarking won't work.
"Normal slideshow" ('Mordern Browsers' not the fullscreen applet) still has blending. Where is it that you're talking about?

Hi ideon,
you report is as bad as "my car does not drive."
Could be more specific ?

Jens

Hallo, thank you for the repies, I have probably by accident switched the slideshow to "low-tech" mode and couldnot see the options. As to the binaries I also cannot find the compiled pnmcomp one, as as I am having hosted website Ill wait for someones hlep with the compiling. But anyway thank you for your help!

Hey i get a runtime error when i try to edit a watermark. It says: Linenumber66
Error: document.theform.data is empty or no object.
I still can add a watermark when i click no.
And the second thing i found was something with the languages. This was also in version 1.42. When a picture has no views yet or 1 the text is displayed in english while the rest is in dutch (my standard language). As soon as a picture has more than 1 view the text is in dutch.

I'm fixing this.
The other issue is probably just that there is no translation for those lines of text.

Geeklog and Gallery 1.4.3 RC2 Intergration...
Let me say that I am glad that Geeklog intergration was included in this release. But, on geeklog sites, if you want to email someone you click on a link like <http://www.apockotos.com/profiles.php?uid=2> and this will direct you to a form to contact that person, (link is different for each person). But with the Geeklog/Gallery intergration, when you click on the authors name, it shows the actual email address instead of directing you to that form.
Any ideas?

Hello apockotos,
i am not sure what you mean.
Do you mean when clicking on a Username inside Gallery ?
Regards,
Jens
Posts: 4
Yes when I click on a username within the intergrated gallery, it opens the email client and fills in the email address instead of taking you to the contact form for that user. I know gallery did not get this information from the gallery config since it was never entered in it's configuration.

Page numbers not centered when at first or last page.
Please see: http://gallery.menalto.com/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&t=15131
Attached is /layout/navigotor.inc for a fix possibly in 1.4.4 Thanks to mindless for the fix.
I think that /layout/navphoto.inc has the same issue but have not looked hard enough through the CVS changes and it has changed two versions.

Hi apockotos, hi floridave,
apockotos: This is really no bug. This is the normal behaviour of Gallery. But you can form a feature request for this on Gallerys page on sourceforge.
floridave: I my opinion this is also no bug. But i think we will "fix" this.
Regards,
Jens

Subject: Click count is incremented for two fotos i.s.o. one!
Only when using Mozilla FireFox browser when NOT logged in as a registered user. When i click on a foto to watch it and i get back to the album after watching this foto, the number of times that this foto has been viewed is incremented by 1 as it should be. But also the next foto after the one i have viewed is incemented as well. This *only* happens with firefox ( version 0.8 ) and not with Opera or IE. And only when i am not logged in! When i log in as admin with Firefox, then only the foto i watched is incremented which is ok. When i login as any other user all is fine as well. Only as an anonymous user only then 2 fotos are incremented in stead of only the foto i viewed. And only with FF 0.8 browser.
Thanks,
Jan

Subject: local translation didn't work for some texts
I am not really familiar with locales, but i installed the dutch nl_NL locales. But for the texts "1 item" and "1 time", that text was *not* translated by php when called in for example ../albums.php:374 ../view_album.php:862 ../view_album.php:877. The other texts on those same lines like "times" and "0 times" were translated fine!
It's very wierd but after re-running 'msgfmt -f -o nl_NL-gallery_core.mo ../nl_NL-gallery_core.po' in locale/nl_NL/LC_MESSAGES only then the text is translated fine when i load the pages in my browser. Other texts seem to work fine so far.
As mentioned i have no idea how locales work and it was mere luck that it works now. I have no idea what the '#, fuzzy' thing does when generating the .mo file but it worked for me and it didn't with the .mo delivered in the gallery distribution.
Thanks,
Jan

Subject: Fullscreen applet crashes in Opera 7.50 (build 3658)
Maybe not Gallery related or maybe it is. It does work in FireFox 0.8, but the Fullscreen Applet (slideshow) crashes in Opera using the same Java 1.4.2_03 as in Firefox where it does work correctly.
Thanks,
Jan

Hello houtsma,
regarding your language problem:
This is no bug.
The nederlands translation is just not 100% finished. Currently nobody maintains it.
We use gettext for translations.
I dont want to go too deep into details. But gettext generated those fuzzy lines.
They indicate that gettext changed and existing translation due to changed source or tried to assume a translation.
Regards,
Jens

I get this error while trying to apply the watermark but only in certain albums. 3 or 4 of my albums worked fine while others had the watermark applied to about half of the images in an album and then generated those errors. All permissions are the same for each folder in the albums directory also.

stowaway, that is definately related to FAQ Gallery:c.15 somehow. Some of the files probably have bad permissions.

Hi, I tried on 1.4.3 RC2 changing the gif used as a watermark, but simply setting it on another .gif, let the second .gif superimpose the first.
There's a way to get rid of the first .gif?
Posts: 2322
There is no undo with watermark. You have to be sure what you want to do, because it overwrites your original image. There is no way to get rid of it once it's been done.

Shouldn't that be noted up front?

I'm getting an java error when opening the watermark window. Mostly on line >60. Also, when ignore that, I want to watermark my images and I just watermark them als usual but for some reason, the .gif image doesn't appear in the image.

Full screen JavaApplet slide show does not check if ismovie.
When viewing the full screen java slide show it will download the movie but only show a box and then move on to the next image.
see cropped screen shot below.
A bit off topic, but..... I prefer mindless's full screen javascript version myself:

Here's the info from Opera's Java console:
NOTE: Opera uses the JRE directly, not the Java plug-ins like Firefox.
