Gallery 1.6 Alpha2 Bugs

hi Jens,

haven't heard back from you, but I'm glad you were able to sort out the sort problem...

some further observations with v1.6-alpha3-svn-b2:

1. in the add_photo popup (applet and form tabs) the tabs and the following explanatory text are on the same line, some niceify required
2. using the xp publishing option in add_photo and then pressing the 'Return to Add Photos' link results in a The requested URL /xxxpathtoxxx/gallery-1.6/add_photos.php was not found on this server.
3. imagemaps: is there a limit of number of chars that can be entered in the description? I entered some long explanation, which would only show as my nice Map 0 when hovering the cursor over the map. at least a check of the number of chars entered combined with the possibility to rephrase would be helpful, a online character count as with ecards text entry even better.
4. imagemaps: white outline of polygon is hard to see in bright pictures. theme/skin dependant?
5. flip & rotating (sorry, once more): flip & rotate now all work, but for rotating 180° and for the flips the thumb pic is not updated

that's all for the moment...

cheers,

hi Jens,

ok, here some additional comments and infos:

to 1.) I'm using Standalone; Skin: bars002; Theme: classic, screenshot for the form tab attached (applet tabs similar)
to 3.) I thought there was a limitation in the number of chars that can be added. if really the case a backwards counter would have been beneficial. but the problem of the my nice Map 0 display was possibly related to the bug with linebreaks, as there were certainly some of those in the text.
to 5.) I don't think it's a caching issue as the behavior is clearly different from the 90° clock and counterclock rotations where the thumb pic is updated alright (in the preview window of the popup rotate/flip window as well as the actual album thumb pic).

hope this helps...

I just had another look at v1.6-alpha3-svn-b8, and noted some further minor things:

1. since I had some troubles with 1.5.x in this regard I checked the locale_alias settings and found the one for de_DE missing (was a feature request from me sometime in January this year...). is this related to my installation? I got otherwise plenty of those $gallery->app->locale_alias['en_US'] = "en_AU.ISO8859-1"; in my config file, much more anyway than versions 1.5.x.
2. when using slideshow I noted that the stop button is actually a 'arrow down' icon, which is not conforming to the 'universially' used square shaped stop button. I don't know the reasoning behind that, but just in case I edited a gif file with a square stop button (attached).

hi Jens

to 1.) it's possibly not a bug, it might be related to my server config, I'm not sure. what I meant to say is that I have lots of locale alias settings (much much more than 1.5.x anyway) in the gallery configuration and then config.php. what I didn't see was an alias setting for de_DE. on my (hosted) server I need that (and probably others too), has I do manual editing of config.php in my 1.5 installation everytime I run the configuration script (for details see http://gallery.menalto.com/node/43374).

to 2.) I did the stop icon myself, it's ok to use, that was my intention. glad you already integrated it!

thanks!

Gallery v1.6-alpha3-svn-b17

When trying to create a user, I discovered that I was unable to bring up the UI - create_user.php. A PHP parse error was recorded in the error log.

I changed line 120:
printPopupStart(gTranslate('core', "Create User"), '', left');
with
printPopupStart(gTranslate('core', "Create User"), '', 'left');

Now, creating users works as expected

I have not created users in quite some time, so I don't know how long this error has existed.

wow, just great! I downloaded 1.6-alpha3-svn-b23 to get some initial idea how you did it. I'm not sure whether you're already expecting user feedback, either way my first observations after copying the new version over a test installation of 1.6:

1. when running the configuration wizard and pressing the button to get to step 2 I get the following error:

   Fatal error: Cannot redeclare insertsectiontoggle() (previously declared in
   /path2gallery/gallery-1.6/js/sectionTabs.js.php:18) in 
   /path2gallery/t16/gallery-1.6/js/sectionTabs.js.php on line 8

2. I then ran gallery without finishing the wizard and defined a group and added some members. then I wanted to change some album permissions, but couldn't do so, because the group/user selection part of the window was just a few pixel wide (see attached screen dump). may be this is related to some missing parts in the config.php because the wizard could not successfully finish?
3. the new album permission window has an awful lot of tabs. with the previous layout I was able to check the permissions with one glimpse, now I have to click on 10 tabs to do the same. I understand that one setting at a time as it's benefits but I'd still appreciate if you could summarize/group some permissions and thereby reduce the number of tabs to may be 3 or 4 max.

thanks for keeping up the good work!

cheers,
