problem after changing name of albums directory

[nickfzx]

I tried changing the name of the albums directory in the coppermine configuration.  I then changed the name of the albums directory on the server.

Coppermine now works fine with no problems that I can see.

However cpmfetch is still looking in the old directory for the thumbnails.

this error is coming up:

Code Select Expand


Error in getImageTouse: Extension (strtolower): .jpg File:../galleries//albums/userpics/10024/thumb_elefun.jpg

galleries is the directory where my coppermine installation is located and "albums" is the original name of the albums folder...as you can see its looking in the old directory.

Why is this happening?  Doesn't cpmfetch updates dynamically based on coppermine's configuration file?

Assuming you are on a dev version....

Just re-run the install program.   CPG data changes so infrequently that making a call every time you use CpmFetch would be wasteful.  On a high traffic site this would mean thousands of extra SQL calls.

The install program will tell you that you may not need to re-run, but gives you a link to do so.  When you run it, it grabs the data and saves it locally.

let me know if this does not help

I am using RELEASE VERSION 1.6.2

the problem was this line in cpmfetch_dao.php:

$this->OverridePathToAlbums($this->fullpathtocpm . "/albums", $this->partialUrltocpm . "/albums");

fixed this by changing "albums" to the name of the new directory.

Ah, yes that whole mess is avoided in CpmFetch 2.0 (1.9.x dev series).  This will be replacing 1.6.x as soon as I finish the documentation for it.

Later
