G2 ERROR_COLLISION Messages

I've done a search and could not find anything new about a problem I'm having with WPG2 3.0.7 and Gallery 2.2.5. This morning, I'd installed WPG2 3.0.6, had an error, searched this forum, deactivated/uninstalled 3.0.6, installed/activated BTEV 1.8.1, installed/activated 3.0.7, and I'm still having an error with WPG2.

The original error with 3.0.6 was a failure in the G2 rewrites that were cleared up with the BTEV. Now the error is that Users | Gallery2 users fails with the following errors:

Fatal G2 error
Here's the error from G2: Error (ERROR_COLLISION)

* in modules/core/classes/GalleryUser.class at line 149 (GalleryCoreApi::error)
* in modules/core/classes/GalleryEmbed.class at line 344 (GalleryUser::create)
* in /server_location/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/wpg2/wpg2embed.inc at line 257 (GalleryEmbed::createUser)
* in /server_location/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/wpg2/wpg2usersadmin.php at line 124
* in /server_location/wordpress/wp-admin/admin.php at line 69
* in /server_location/wordpress/wp-admin/users.php at line 2

and BTEV reported "WPG2 COULD NOT FIND G2 USER: <my user account>".

Interestingly, I had not created <my user account> in Gallery but I'm guessing that WPG2 did because the account is there and also an admin. If there is anymore information required, please let me know. So, I hope that the gurus here can do the voodoo they do and help me unf__k my site!

Cheers!!

Nvigate to Wordpress -> Dashboard -> Users -> Wordpress Gallery2 users tab and the user mapping should be re-created (hopefully correctly) ;)

oz-

Thanks for the info. I went into PHPmyAdmin and deleted the contents of the g2_ExternalIdMap. No change; still unable to see G2 Users in WP. I just updated to WP2.6 and, after activating the WP2G plugin, I was able to see the G2 Users page. As there were a few accounts where the passwords were incompatible with G2, I remembered the "fix" was to log off then log back in. After doing so, I am back to being unable to connect to the G2 Users in WP.

Does this provide any more information? Any help?

Cheers!!

OK, after a couple of other issues, I decided to reinstall G2. Just like the 07-15 14:01 post, I was able to see that my current account was password incompatible and, after cycling the logon, still the same crash issue. If I log into WP2.6 as the site admin, I can see that all accounts are now compatible. When I tried to give my user account G2 rights, the page bombs out to the original crash. Hope that this is enough data points for a some sort of resolution.

Cheers!!

I had this same issue, with wpg2 3.0.7 also, and tried everything above. Found the problem and the solution: Wordpress's built-in "admin" account that is created during install had my email address, and so did the account that I created for myself. Either remove the admin user or change the email address to something else, and the collision errors went away. (I like leaving the wordpress admin as a backdoor for myself into my WP system).

mogmismo- That was it, exactly! Thanks!!

oz- The default admin account for my WP install had the same email address as my WP user account. My WP user account was also an admin to the WP site and to the Gallery site. The default admin account is only a subscriber to the WP site and not even a Gallery user. Once I changed the email address for the admin account to something other than what my user/admin account had, WPG2 came right up and is working great.

Fellas, thanks so much for the help and patience.

Cheers!!

At WP install, I used my hotmail account as the email address for the default admin account. I then changed the role of the admin account (since I couldn't delete it) to a WP subscriber. I then created my user account, gave it the >>same<< hotmail address then added it to the WP admin group. Then I started having problems with the WPG2 plugin as described in my original post.

Based off of mosmismo's suggestion, I changed the email address for the WP admin account to some garbage account, like

, and left my user account as is. Now, everything works as advertised. My apologies for any confusion. Does this help?

Cheers!!

What if I have one email address for the family and I would like to have my son and daughter have their own account in WP. Is this a WP limitation or a WPG2 limit?

yep: user@domain was set as the admin user's email (I like to get these emails too)
and: user@domain was set to my wordpress user's id.

Wordpress has no problem with this that I have ever experienced.

I had the same error, seemingly after upgrading to WP 2.6. I followed the suggested steps, including the email address fix. I did have same email addresses for 2 accounts, but my issue was not fixed after correcting this. When logging in as a different account that also had admin rights on both WP and G2, I didn't have the problem. I remember that in G2, I had renamed the admin account from ADMIN to my own user account. I changed this back to admin, created a new account matching my WP account, gave admin permissions and everything is fixed. Just an FYI for those who may have similar problems still. A suggestion to maybe think about making the admin account in Gallery unchangeable so users can't rename and end up with this issue.
