This topic is a for users who have installed Gallery 1.6-alpha1 and have specific bugs to report.
General troubleshooting questions do NOT go in this thread, and will be moved or deleted without asking or warning.

For general feedback, suggestions and discussion use this link.

Fixed Versions are available via SVN or separately from Jens' archive.

Once reported bugs have been acknowledged and fixed, the bug will be noted here, and responses will be deleted to keep the thread readable.

The known list of bugs in 1.6-alpha1, and their statuses:

Fixed:

1.6-alpha2-svn-b6:
- "Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /srv/www/htdocs/web37/html/gallery/lib/stats.php on line 440"

1.6-alpha2-svn-b8:
- Wrong filenames in $Id

1.6-alpha2-svn-b9:
- Second (redundant) link to photoproperties in thumbnail view.

1.6-alpha2-svn-b13
- Save did not work in rearrange items.
- Typo in stats-wizard.php prevented the generated url to show up.
- Autorotate rotated in the wrong direction.

1.6-alpha2-svn-b24
- removed -v from jhead call, as the structure is different and clutters the output.

Investigation in progress:

* Slideshow does not work when embedded in Joomla 1.0.10+ (appears also in Gallery 1.5.3+)

Rejected:

Thanks Tim_j,
I deleted the fixed issues to keep the thread short.

In the Gallery Host Compatibility Checker ( /setup/ghcc.php ) I get a error about a missing file.
Not sure if it worked in a pervious verions or if this file is required or not. I have used it occationaly but not that offten.

Cheers,
Dave

hi Jens,

after playing around with my test installation (v1.6-alpha2-svn-b8) I noted 2 things so far:

- when trying to sort an album I get the following message:

Quote:
Sort Album

Select your sorting criteria for this album below
Warning: This operation can't be undone.

Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /xxpathtoxx/gallery-1.6/classes/Album.php on line 1478

- when changing properties of an album (within any tab) each time when I press 'Apply' I always end up in the 'Texts' tab in the 'Album Properties' window. I think it would be more logical to just maintain the selected tab.

thanks & cheers,
-- Peter

hi Jens,

to 1.) I rechecked, the problem is still there with the first and single album. I added another album and I can sort in this second album, but the error as described above still happens in the first one!? (I can PM you the URL of that album and some user credentials if you like)

some other oberservations (minor stuff):
3.) the exif display has some date displays wrong:

EXIF Data  DateTime = "2006  	:  	02:04 22:07:37"
Exif Dir 	: 	(dir has 30 entries)
DateTimeOriginal = "2006 	: 	02:02 14:27:04"
DateTimeDigitized = "2006 	: 	02:02 14:27:04"
Interop Dir 	: 	(dir has 4 entries)
Thumbnail size 	: 	6329 bytes
Non settings part of Exif header 	: 	6329 bytes
File size 	: 	172383 bytes
File date 	: 	2006:10:25 15:25:58
Camera make 	: 	Canon
Camera model 	: 	Canon PowerShot G3
Date/Time 	: 	2006:02:02 14:27:04
Resolution 	: 	800 x 600
Flash used 	: 	No
Focal length 	: 	7.2mm (35mm equivalent: 103mm)
CCD width 	: 	2.50mm
Exposure time 	: 	0.0008 s (1/1250)
Aperture 	: 	f/5.0
Whitebalance 	: 	Auto
Metering Mode 	: 	matrix

the text is aligned to the first colon ':', but some date entries may contain a equal sigm '=' for definition instead of a colon. the display is then somewhat disrupted.

4.) 'Photo properties' appears twice in my admin bar (for non logged in user), once fully left and then on the right hand side left of the login button

cheers,
-- Peter

hi, I played around a bit more and found the following:

5.) when using Rotate/Flip Photo the flip horizontal and flip vertical actually do a rotate counterclock wise 90°
6.) when using 'Rearrange items' (appears as 'Rearrange Album' in pop up window, constistency?) I can rearrange stuff, but when pressing the 'save' button nothing happens, 'cancel' closes the window. happens with both firefox an ie. ie shortly flags an 'error on page' in the status line. looking at the page source I see a different definition for the upper and lower buttons (both 'save' (upper) and 'Save' (lower) do not work, though).
7.) statistics on pictures: the quote 'Maybe your want to use your OWN statistics somewhere .. Just copy and paste the url from this textbox.': the textbox remains empty independent of what selections I make above.
8.) I forgot to report this one: during initial installation check I get this:

This page gives you information about the version of each necessary Gallery file.
If you see any error(s), we highly suggest to get the actual version of that file(s).

I did a clean & fresh install of v1.6-alpha2-svn-b8, why is there stuff missing?

ok, that's it for the moment, if I find more time to tinker, I'll probably be back...

cheers,

Hello Peter,

Thanks a lot! Good testing! You found 2 bugs which didn't see so far.
5.) acknowledged.
6.) acknowledged. Wording will also changed.
7.) acknowledged.
8.) This is the alpha-1 thread...
Your are using a prerelease version for alpha2 from SVN and there the manifest is not up to date.
The files where indeed removed, so actually they are not really missing.
The upper gifs were not uses anywhere. The tree icons were removed as alpha2 will have a new fancy DHTML tree with icons from yahoo! UI.

All acknowledged bugs will be fixed in a Version available tonight.
alpha2 is behind schedule, but will be released on sunday or monday.

Thanks,

Jens

hi, I installed v1.6-alpha2-svn-b26 (after the b19 with the 'disco1' imagemagick binary issue...) and found that most of the reported problems were solved with the following issues remaining (did as of yet not test any further though...):

to 1.) sorting still aborts in one album of my test gallery with this error:
Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /home/schumach/public_html/t16/gallery-1.6/classes/Album.php on line 1543
to 3.) still the same
to 5.) ok, some things changed, but: clockwise and counter clock are mixed up, vertical flip doesn't flip

thanks for the ongoing committment to improve G1!

cheers,
-- Peter

Hi Peter,

Thanks for your quick feedback.

1.) As i said .. i cant reproduce it.
3.) You need to reload the exif data from the file. You see cached data from the photo-data.
You can make a workaround: open popups/view_photo_properties.php
Above the hack check insert: $reloadExifFromFile=true;
5.) Hmm, okay. Seems i didnt fix all rotate issues. Thanks. Today we will release alpha2, which is == b26.
I will make a fix for the alpha3 series then :)
