Photopress 0.7.2
This version fixes more of the bugs introduced with 0.7 and the database table. Thanks to Roge especially for spotting bugs and suggesting fixes. I also added a mass image info updater to Manage:Photopress Album for quicker data entry. If you’ve been waiting for a relatively stable 0.7, this is probably it.
Download Photopress 0.7.2: photopress.zip OR photopress.tar.gz
Right now deleting an image doesn’t delete the original - should it? Also, I’m wondering if I need to write some sort of cleanup function to fix any bad entries in the database that the buggy earlier versions may have introduced. With hundreds of images the mass updater gets slow - I think I’ll either do pages of 50 or so or split it by category.

Good that You have found time for fixes. I will open my photo blog today for public access and this will be good example of REALLY USEFUL PLUGIN Photopress! Thanx again.
If you don’t mind I will continue the bug report
Bug:
- During upload: Image NAME and DESCRIPTION are always taken from file name (even if you set your own or leave fields blank).
Fetures:
- About original image: May be make delete optional?
- DB clean up will be very useful for all novige users, because they usually don’t have direct access to DB and they will make mistakes.
Really useful and easy to implement hack: Random images (for sidebar). Here is fast hack I have implement on my site (I think You can insert it in new version):
The DB request is like:
$image_array = $wpdb->get_col(”SELECT imgfile FROM $table_name ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT $limit”);
Where $limit is the function parameter.
Then I use ig_gallery_create_thumbnail() function from Image Gallery plugin which do same job like your pp_resize BUT it also can crop images and this is very useful for random images on sidebar.
Also LAST PHOTO: (my DB request)
$max_id = $wpdb->get_col(”SELECT MAX(id) FROM $table_name”);
$images = $wpdb->get_col(”SELECT imgfile FROM $table_name WHERE id=$max_id[0]”);
And sharpen please )) (can be reused from Image Gallery)!
Thank You!

Bug (feature)
- Upload -> function pp_resize() Currently it will return error IF file is smaller than defined maxsize AND file will be not saved.
The problem is, most photographers will resize the image (sharp) and store it in jpg format using Photoshop because it makes all this stuff much better.
So, they just don’t need to REresize and REcompress images. I have done a small hack which SKIP resize and recompression and simply stores the ORIGINAL file on hard drive IF original size

feature:
- I’m not sure if this is possible, but please try to insert post ID in to the thumbnail link (which goes to the full version). This will help users to incert comments in to album.php template.

I get this messge:
Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /www/htdocs/goossies/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/photopress.php on line 657
Any idea how to fix it
Thx otto

hello,
I would be curious if I could update my 0.5.1 version without ptoblems to your new 0.72 version. also I have found a problem with the 0.51 version: I followed this guide: http://wordpress.org/docs/installation/different-address/ to change the files location/blog location and after that the upload button doesn’t work as it does look in the wrong directory.
What dou you think - is an upgrade easyly possible or did big changes occur in this new version?
cheers

I found the problem.
You have to upload a photo to start the process.
It works all perfect. Compliments!

feature:
- Devide template parts to different functions. As a wordpress template has get_header(), get_footer(). Please devide to getName() getDescription() getPost() a separated (not hardcoded) navigation layer.

Is it possible to hide some of the photos for being shown in the gallery? You see. I use many images in my posts that I would like to be able to upload with photopress, but I don’t want it to be shown in the gallery. Is this, and in that case, how can I do that?
November 14th, 2005 at 8:26 am
I also disovered that I can’t see the large version of the image anymore. When I updated to 0.72 I din’t update the CSS and the album.php file since I had done some work with those. Is that the reason for why it isn’t working?

Features:
- I think it shoould be possible to delete the image which is included in post(s). You see, from usability point of view, you limit user movements without any good reaons. The usecase here is very simple user wants to delete the image, so, why not? Just warn him about posts which include the image.
- REPLACE for photos. Might be very important for photographer because we often retouch photos, making new versions, etc… You know the posts id’s so, you can replace with the new image.
I have read requests and bugs one more time… Don’t You want to open a parallel plugin which will work a bit different. Which will incert images in posts with special TAG and generate thumbnails on the fly. You can implement different experiments in the new version, just warn this is a alpha ) And btw. contact me If You think I might help you with features lists, It will be pleasure to help if I can.

Hi, I’m a newbie to wordpress.
I just installed the plugin 0.7.2 and it works fine.
It’s easy to write a post with image, so I appreciate to you.
And I have a question if you don’t mind.
If I click “Browse” button (browse.php), I see a broken image (’x') of successfully uploaded images.
That image’s url is http:///wp/wp-content/photos/ .
Hmm… is it right http:///wp/wp-content/photos/?
I uploaded the image with just name and default category.
And I think it’s better the name besides pixel and file size is provided in “Browse” screen.
Thanks for your effort~

Yes, and I have the IImage Browser plugin, but it doesn’t work while the Photopress plugin is active.

I’m having a slight problem with Photopress. When I deactivate and reactivate the plug-in, my database loses all the descriptions and catagories assocciated with each image.

I am also experiencing the bug where:
if you upload a photo that is SMALLER than the MAX SIZE, Photopress rejects it.
This is bad for a couple reasons:
1 - in order to upload an image that is smaller than the max-image size, you have to either ENLARGE the small image, or REDUCE the max-image size
2 - a user can’t bypass the auto-resizing feature. Ideally, I’d like to set the max-image size to a ridiculous 3000px by 3000px - so that my untouched originals are what gets linked to via thumbnail, not a resized/recompressed copy. But as of now, when I do this I can’t upload ANY photos due to this bug
sorry if I’m missing something
Except for this bug, thanks for the great plugin! I wish the Wordpress guys had collaborated with you instead of the half-assed photo uploading features in 2.0
