Softlinks in gallery directory not working with PHP 5.3.3

shredluc — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 14:30:47 -0500

So i had a server running Centos 5.7 which i believe ran PHP 5.2.17. In the minishowcase installation i use softlinks in the galleries directory (i ran jm's fork, located at http://people.via.ecp.fr/~jm/minishowcase-jm.html for the submenus). It would correctly follow the softlink and display both subdirs and photos.
I decommissioned my old server and setup this new one and in the process ended up moving to Centos 6, which includes PHP 5.3.3

Here any directory that is a softlink fails to display both sub menus and the photos. I have tried both vanilla minishowcase and jm's fork.This ability to use soft links is absolutely essential since i have hundreds of gigabytes of photos and a tiny mirrored 74GB sas drive in the server. Copying the photos to the galleries directory is not possible. The softlinks point to NFS mounts on a central NAS unit.

The culprits seem to be the PHP scandir() and opendir() methods and the fact that PHP 5.3 does not recognize symlinks to directories as directories. is_dir() returns false on a symlink. I don't know if PHP will be fixed in the next patch or if this is the intended functionality progression. Any chance that minishowcase will be modified to work with newer versions of PHP?

Thanks!

Navigation thumbnails not showing

mickie — Fri, 20 Jan 2012 10:00:03 -0500

Hi.
I installed the minishowcase both; locally on my iMAC 10.6.4 with MAMP and on the server. It's fantastic working and really easy to handle, great showcase.

The only issu I see now is online, the smaller thumbnails of the navigation bar (above the large images) don't show and a missing icon is shown instead. no idea why that would be. I have plenty of other images, etc with other script and no problems, so I can't think that this will be any problem with the GD...

Thanks a lot

chane of $settings['gallery_default_name'] does not work

ong — Wed, 07 Jul 2010 10:43:26 -0400

Hi,

I want to upload images to directories encoded with the date - for example, if I upload today, i would use "2010_07_07" as directoryname (below /galleries/ of course!). Tomorrow I would use "2010_07_08" and so on.
I changed the settings.php
Instead of
$settings['gallery_default_name'] = 'venezuela';
I am using this:
$heute = date("Y_m_d");
$settings['gallery_default_name'] = $heute;

Also set:
$settings['gallery_default'] = true;

My problem: It does NOT work! Always the gallery which fits the FIRST of the
$settings['gallery_sorting'] = 5;
definition is shown on startup.

... please - any idea?
Olaf

minimanage - client

arthurema — Sun, 01 Jan 2012 14:31:30 -0500

Anyone know how to get in touch with Jan about a minimanage problem? I am running the client with jre 1.6.30 and I get an error "com.sun.xml.internal.messaging.saaj.soap.ver1_1.Message1_1Impl cannot be cast to com.sun.xml.messaging.saaj.soap.MessageImpl" As I think I discovered that removing the dependency for xalan might be the fix. I believe this is enabled in lib/jaxp-api.jar Or does someone else have an idea for resolution? Thank you

Issues with Go Daddy and Thumbnails

heckels — Tue, 15 Nov 2011 22:59:44 -0500

First, I tried to read the forum guidelines but the link seems to be broken.

I'm having issues with the thumbnail capabilities of minishowcase. If the "create thumbnails" option is set to true, nothing with happen and I'll be left with placeholders for each of the thumbnails with their descriptions. If it is set to false, then it takes forever for the thumbnails to load - I assume because we're having to load the full image and then scale it down.

In reading others' issues, I think the issue has something to do with GoDaddy as our host. BUT, since I've seen some progress since on the GoDaddy issue I'm not sure if this has been rectified yet or not.

I've tried the ?thumbnail.php but despite it saying that the thumbnails have been successfully created there are still no thumbnails in my cache. Is this a space issue with GoDaddy? If so, how do I correct it?

If the thumbnail GD issue cannot be rectified, is there a way for use to create thumbnails and place them in the cache folder? If so, what naming convention do we need to follow???

I believe we meet the requirements listed on your page. You can see our test.php file here:

www.mheckeldesign.com/test.php

The gallery is hosted at www.mheckeldesign.com/gallery/index.php.

continuous_nav doesn't work for slimbox and thickbox

kwokkie — Sun, 02 Oct 2011 11:34:27 -0400

continuous_nav in ajax.init.js is set to true, but it works only in the built-in navigation. It doesn't seem to have any effect in Slimbox or Thickbox mode.
Is there an easy way for me to enable continuous_nav for those two preview modes?

Thumbnailing errors

gabbermatt — Fri, 16 Sep 2011 18:44:29 -0400

I did a search for thumbnail and couldn't find anything related to my issue, if there's already something on it just link me to it and ill go there...

basically, when I goto /galleries/?thumbnails and try to run the script on a folder it gets about 60 pictures in and then just stops. I check the error_log in /libraries/ and I see this:

[16-Sep-2011 17:20:09] PHP Notice: getimagesize() [function.getimagesize]: Read error! in /home/**redacted**/public_html/Anime/libraries/thumb.display.php on line 108
[16-Sep-2011 17:20:09] PHP Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/**redacted**/public_html/Anime/libraries/thumb.display.php:108) in /home/**redacted**/public_html/Anime/libraries/thumb.display.php on line 220
[16-Sep-2011 17:20:09] PHP Warning: imagedestroy(): supplied argument is not a valid Image resource in /home/**redacted**/public_html/Anime/libraries/thumb.display.php on line 224

I was having other issues before, but it was related to php memory limit, raised that and continue to get those errors.

If you want to see it let me know (is thre a PM system?) I would post the link but the thumbnailing uses quite a bit of resources and I don't want 5000 people running the script at once. =\

virus — Fri, 09 Sep 2011 20:55:10 -0400

not sure when/why it happened, but all of our sub folders are displayed beneath each root folder. there are so many displayed that some of our galleries are not listed (i guess the menu length maxes out as some point?)

any advice is appreciated.

Galleries not showing.

netweb — Tue, 18 May 2010 12:08:48 -0400

I have installed this gallery on different websites located on the same server before with no issues.

http://www.91lacrosse.com/pages/gallery/
http://www.liseniorsquadron.org/pages/gallery/

I am installing this gallery on a new website on the same server and am having issues. The galleries are not showing up. The galleries just keep loading.

http://peconicstarfleet.com/pages/gallery/

I have tried several solutions to no avail. I have changed the permissions of several folders, have changed in settings.php the gallery_sorting and thumbnail_sorting both to 0. I have changed the minishowcase_url to the different ones this particular website uses.

The PHP is up to date because the showcase is up and working on other sites on my server (as seen above). Safe Mode is off and GD is enabled.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

galleries_menu

jpc — Tue, 14 Jun 2011 10:46:19 -0400

Hi all,
I have successfully used minishowcase on my Mac with MAMP before.
The result of how i used minishowcase can be seen here: http://www.lizannedesigns.com/minishowcase/index.php
However, from the original time I used Mamp to design the above website until now, I had to reformat my computer.
So I reformatted my computer and re-download and reinstalled MAMP and then I downloaded all the files with the working minishowcase from the above site. This time though, the galleries_menu are not being populated with the titles any more. The same codes and files work perfectly on the web hosting site, but for some odd reason, it is not populating the galleries_menu when I use my MAMP localhost, eventhough I haven't changed any setting on my MAMP. Can anyone help me please? Thank you very much.

To confirm what the problem was, I have just downloaded the minishowcase folder and files from the minishowcase website, and I moved the minishowcase folder to my htdocs folder...opened it....and just as I suspected...the "Valenzuela" title is not showing as well in the galleries_menu, when it should be showing like how it is shown in the demo site of minishowcase.

Please help me solve this issue. Thank you very much.

The ordering problem

begeiste — Wed, 01 Jun 2011 15:09:10 -0400

Hi,

I have named the folders under Galleries Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. But the ordering has a problem, the menu list orders Thursday, Sunday, Saturday, Friday. I have followed the instruction at settings.php below:

* 0 : default platform sorting (check it on your platform)
* 1 : natural sorting (0833.jpg comes before 2018.jpg)
* 2 : natural sorting, case-insensitive (recommended)
* 3 : reverse default platform sorting
* 4 : reverse natural sorting
* 5 : reverse natural sorting, case-insensitive
* 6 : EXIF date (not tested thoroughly)
* 7 : EXIF date (reverse order, not tested thoroughly)
* NOTE: if PHP was compiled without EXIF support it'll fall back to '0' */
$settings['gallery_sorting'] = 3;//orignial is 2
$settings['thumbnail_sorting'] = 0;
Please help me to correct the problem when you can? Much appreciate it!!!!

Slovak language translation + troubleshooting

mehturt — Mon, 02 May 2011 03:58:00 -0400

Hi all, I created slovak language file for minishowcase (sk.php).
However some texts do not display proper characters; in particular the content of $lang["gallery_reload"] is not displayed properly. I created the sk.php file using vim via urxvt, it's in UTF-8 and in vim all the characters show fine.
I can provide the sk.php if anyone cares to investigate.
Thanks..

Gallery doesn't show properly in IE7

popinieko — Sat, 20 Mar 2010 05:54:16 -0400

Hi guys,

I'm testing a gallery at this moment on the following location:
http://www.intellitainment.nl/testsite/gallery.php

It shows up correctly in Firefox // Mozilla/5.0 (Firefox/3.6), but apparently it doesn't show the correct styling in IE7.0.6001. I get the following DEBUG message, while I disabled all three debug messages in the settings.php file.

[DEBUG] Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 6.0; SLCC1; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; Media Center PC 5.0; Tablet PC 2.0; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; OfficeLiveConnector.1.3; OfficeLivePatch.0.0; .NET CLR 3.0.30618)

Any ideas what the problem could be?

2 Errors on showing the gallery front page

AdamM — Fri, 26 Mar 2010 16:16:46 -0400

Hi all,
I'm getting these 2 errors when I open the gallery.

Deprecated: Function ereg_replace() is deprecated in /home/adamm/public_html/wedding/libraries/general.init.php on line 96

Info:
Minishowcase Ver: 09b142

GD Ver: 2.0.34

I've looked into it a bit and PHP are getting rid of ereg_replace() and replacing it with preg_replace() - I haven't tried to change the code myself yet...I figured i'd start here.

BTW, love this gallery!

alert menssage password encripted

botika — Fri, 25 Mar 2011 19:18:47 -0400

Hola Victor, es fantástica esta galería, he leído que tu idioma nativo es el español y eso me resulta muy útil, mi problema o duda, es que no se como, ni si se puede encriptar la contraseña que coloca el usuario para acceder a las galerías protegidas. Sería algo parecido al Type="password" de un form.

Un saludo

Hi Victor, this gallerie it's fantastic, I've read that Spanish is your first language and that helps me a lot, I vill like to ask you it is possible to encript the password tht the usser puts in the window alert and how to do that.
It would be something like Type = "password" of a "form".

Scaled Preview Image set to 100% but still not crisp

MoDan9 — Thu, 24 Mar 2011 16:32:36 -0400

Hi my sister and father are photographers. I set up
minishowcase for each of them.
They both have a keen eye for the "crispness" of their pictures.
Right now, the Scaled Preview images, and both settings for the thumbnails
are set to 100%, just to make sure. and they are still complaining about
the scaled image (the mid sized) not being crisp.
They notice and so do I, that the full sized images are crisper.
They want the scaled images to be crisper. how can we get them crisper
if they are already set to 100%?
is there still some compression happening on them?

Why is there a thumnail duplicate in two of my galleries?

Steph1 — Thu, 18 Nov 2010 15:18:59 -0500

I have a minishowcase album embedded in my website and a problem I've noticed is that in two of my three galleries there a duplicate of one of the thumbnails has taken the place of another thumbnail image. When I click through the photos at full size, none of the photos duplicates, but in the thumbnail view, one takes the place of another image.

Does anyone know the solution to this problem?

Thank you!

Fullsized images do not show

Pawwlik — Mon, 06 Dec 2010 11:29:11 -0500

Hello,
I used Minishowcase years ago without any problems (great soft :) )

Now I installed Minishowcase (latest - minishowcase_v09b142) on a linux server with PHP 5.3.1RC2 and built in GD support.

Everything works fine (galleries are shown, thumbnails are created and displayed). Galleries folders have 777 permissions. But when I click on the thumbnail, the message "loading xxx.jpg" displays, and it's displayed forever, no image appears. The minithumbs on the top show fine.

When I select another preview mode (slimbox, thickbox) it works (the images are displayed properly). Only the default preview_mode=0 does not. Ok, I would use thickbox, but problem is, the slideshow function calls the default and does not work (it shows "loading" all the time again).

Can the slideshow be modified to call thickbox for displaying?

Please advice where could be the problem.

How to solve problems with grey thumbs/images that happens using characters non-ASCII standard

Fenix-TX — Sat, 08 May 2010 06:58:29 -0400

I've posted the solution on this message, but i think that is better a new topic publishing the solution.

People using minishowcase have already known that there are problems with some characters in languages like spanish. After trying a lot of possible solutions now i've get the best solution.

You need to following the following steps:

1. On config/settings.php set false to $settings['set_double_encoding'], so the line now is (by default is false, but it's possible that you changed it):


$settings['set_double_encoding'] = false;

2. On libraries/thumb.display.php search this code (it's practically at top of the file)


	//// receives the original image as [?img=relative/path/to/image.jpg] ////
	// get image path
	$img = false;
	if (isset($_GET["img"])) {
		if ($settings['set_double_encoding']) {
			$img = "../".Url_decode(htmlentities($_GET["img"]));
			
		} else {
			$img = "../".str_replace("\\","", htmlentities($_GET["img"]));
		}
	} else {
		

		$img = false;
	}

And change the line (bold line in previous code)


$img = "../".str_replace("\\","", htmlentities($_GET["img"]));


$img = "../".str_replace("\\","", html_entity_decode(htmlentities($_GET["img"])));

Now all characters like ñ, á, é, í, ó, ú and others in others languages works fine.

"there are no images in this gallery" error

SamB — Thu, 15 Jul 2010 21:10:16 -0400

Tested using Chrome 5 and Firefox 3.6
PHP Version 5.2.12.
GD is enabled with jpg support (just saying because I am using jpgs)
There are images under minishowcase/galleries/camping
They are jpgs with a file size of about 5mb each.
my gallery http://sambender.com/minishowcase/

When I click on the camping album it says "there are no images in this gallery...". What am I doing wrong? I know there are images in the folder.
Thanks!

edit
I also set the permissions to 777

Ok, I have the debug flags set. Anyone who knows please help. I migrated from a windows 2008 server to a windows 2008 R2 x64. Now I can't get the site to work. If I just copy over the cache the galleries show up, but if I remove them they stop functioning. Looks like thumbs.display.php is not being allowed to run???

Nevermind.

I had upped the memory limit to 20M so I thought why not try bigger. pumped it to 128 and every thing works.

Thanks
