I’ve done a bit more mucking around with the code and obviously I now realise my subscribers are level 0, silly me! So I changed photopress.php lines 575 and 588 to read: for ($i = 0; $i . After a bit of playing around with that I found that if I set subscribers to level 2, enable upload files and, this one took a lot of testing to isolate it, edit posts, then subscribers can access photopress.php, upload and manage photos.

Using WordPress 2.0.

Just got around to the new WP 2.01 and discovered PP 0.9.2 - great plugin! - everything works OK so far, a few comments (sorry if they’ve been discuss already):

1. I’ve enlarged the textareas. My photos are archival things so some have longer descriptions. No problem with this, could parameterize it if it makes sense.

2. I spent a few hours trying to figure out where the WP 2.x is going with file/photo upload and attachments. Seems very attachment oriented, particularly wrt categories! Ugh, was hoping I could bridge these, but there only seems to be commonality in the files (guid in the post list) and descriptions. Is anyone looking at this as well?

3. For my own FTP/file browse sanity, I would like to create subdirectories for my images, as I have potentially several thousand images to deal with (I’ve got 900+ in coppermine right now). Using categories as subdirecties is potentially suicidal, given the number of file movements that might occur in a mass edit. So I was thinking of hashing by base file name - some alphabetical categorization, whether it’s by range or discrete letter, I need a minimum of 8 directories. I’d keep the thumbs in their own directory, so there’s a easy way of getting all the thumb images, which is what you tend to get for any particular “list”. Haven’t looked at the code yet … thoughts?

Thanks again for a great script,

Only just starting to hack around with this plugin, there’s one thing I need to change though, and that’s make it available to all registered users including level 1 subscribers.

I’ve already looked through Options > Photopress and have set both
“Minimum level to upload and browse” and “Minimum level to use mass edit and maintain tools” to 1 and then hitting “Update Options”, but nothing. I just get a: “You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.”.

I’m guessing it might be something to do with wp-admin/menu.php ??

What code do I change to make that happen?

Thanks!

I used your old version which worked well, and the new version seems nice, too. I modified my old version to watermark images, it probably wasn’t that interesting to you.

One issue: The new version is picking up files in the “photos” folder which aren’t images, such as .htaccess files placed there to prevent hotlinking, etc.

Hi and thanks for a great plugin! I am not a newbie, however I have been unable to get it to work. I was wondering whether it has anything to do with the fact that I created the photos directory after activating the plug-in. The error I get when uploading is that there is no such file or directory in popup.php on line 365, which is the creation of thumbnails.

Hmm this didn`t work for me on IE , only worked on Opera or Firefox.
It uploads the images fine but when I click on the Insert in to post button nothing happens.
I`m an Opera user but sometimes I have to use IE. Going back to the 0.7 release for now.

Re: Miroslav’s comment (#237) — I agree, it doesn’t make sense to have a pop-up of the large (not thumb) image when a user clicks on the large image. Any way to change this?

maybe ‘m a bit dense, but i have another question. i know a random image can be added to the sidebar in a template, however, what if i want to add a specific image to my sidebar, such as everytime i update my gallery. i have a sidebar spot just for my three newest images. how might i do that? thank you.

Excellent plugin. I’m gonna use it but:

while mass resising I get this error:
Unable to open ‘/home/site/11075/www/wp2test/wp-content/photos/01gal.jpg’ for writing in /home/site/11075/www/wp2test/wp-content/plugins/photopress/include.php on line 441
Why is that? Why can’t it open e jpg file to write?
