Title: After successful Install, cannot insert new albums.
Post by: Sky Lord on June 27, 2005, 01:11:58 PM
My problem: I cannot create a new album. When I click "Albums", the Album Manager is displayed but no "New Album" is depicted and I cannot add a
new album.

I am testing using windows XP Pro, PHP Version:  4.3.10 , MySQL Version:  4.0.18  and Coppermine 1.3.3

=================

I have visited:
CPG 1.3 Standalone Support and searched for "create new album" but found no suitable answers.

Does anybody have any suggestions??

=================

Also I had various problems with config.php and other files which I solved according to info in the Support Forum as follows:

------------
Look in your init.inc.php and find:

Code:
$PHP_SELF = isset($HTTP_SERVER_VARS['REDIRECT_URL']) ? $HTTP_SERVER_VARS['REDIRECT_URL'] : $HTTP_SERVER_VARS['SCRIPT_NAME'];
Then add after it


Code:
$PHP_SELF = ltrim($PHP_SELF, '/');

------------

which solved part of my problems.

That advice was specific to the problem of that individual, it may or may not be appropriate for you.

There should be a button named 'New' on that page. Can you post a screenshot of your albums page ? Also make sure you have javascript enabled.

Question 1: Where do I enable javascript?
I do not know how to post a screenshot. Alt-PrtSc does not work.

There are 3 buttons on the Album Manager screen: Delete, Modify and New. Modify was added from a tip found in the support forum. However before addition of this button I allready had the current problem.

So what happens when you press new ?

Javascript is enabled in your browser somewhere.

Javascript was enabled in the IE browser.
After opening the Album Manager the screen is blank, e.g. the words "New Album" do not appear in the list and not in the textbox underneath the list as is depicted in the documentation.
After depressing the "New"button only the ref. to Javascript: Album_Create() appears, but nothing happens.

I didn't want an admin account, just a user account. Anyway creating albums works fine for me so it's probably something wrong with your web browser. Check the settings or try a different one.
