Batch Add Files - No Directories

[prence]

Hey, I'm trying to do a batch add and like so many other people here, no directories show up to select from.

Before you ask..
Yes, I've read the manual.
Yes, I put the files in /public_html/thesawx/gallery/albums/upload/ rather than /userpics/
Yes, I made sure the folder is chmoded 777 (and have tried 755)

I'm pretty stumped, any suggestions?

don't name that folder "userpics". Name it something else and everything will work as expected. Don't use spaces in album names.

[prence]

Err.. let me rephrase what I said.

The directory I uploaded the images to is /public_html/thesawx/gallery/albums/upload/
It is NOT /userpics/ because it says not to use that.

Any more suggestions?

Create a subdirectory in /albums, set the permissions correctly, and try again.  Does that directory show up?

[prence]

Nope, this time I created a directory called 'moree' in /albums/ and it still doesn't show up.
Perms are 777, I tried it with 755 on the new directory as well.

Do you ever get error messages displayed?

In seachnew.php, find

Code Select Expand

function display_dir_tree($folder, $ident)

below that, replace

Code Select Expand

if (!is_readable($dir_path)) return;

with

Code Select Expand

//if (!is_readable($dir_path)) return;

If that doesn't help, continue further down that function, and replace

Code Select Expand

        //if (is_dir($CONFIG['fullpath'] . $folder . $file) && $file != "." && $file != "..") { // removed by following line for 'do not show folders with dots': gaugau 03-11-02
        if (is_dir($CONFIG['fullpath'] . $folder . $file) && substr($file,0,1) != "." && strpos($file,"'") == FALSE && $file != substr($CONFIG['userpics'],0,strlen($CONFIG['userpics'])-1)  && $file != "edit" ) {

with

Code Select Expand

        if (is_dir($CONFIG['fullpath'] . $folder . $file) && $file != "." && $file != "..") { // removed by following line for 'do not show folders with dots': gaugau 03-11-02
        //if (is_dir($CONFIG['fullpath'] . $folder . $file) && substr($file,0,1) != "." && strpos($file,"'") == FALSE && $file != substr($CONFIG['userpics'],0,strlen($CONFIG['userpics'])-1)  && $file != "edit" ) {

See if that helps at all.

[prence]

Nope, I don't.
I did the first fix you listed and it showed the directory and it all worked fine that way.  Not sure why it does, but thanks a lot for the help.

Does your server run PHP in safe mode?

[prence]

Nope

Just so you know... I had the same problem and it was only solved by making BOTH the code changes not just the first one.  Great piece of software - many thanks

[kegobeer]

Thanks for the report.  I modified my batch add sticky post to include both possible code changes.
