FileMove: managing the storage folder (albums)

[mearnscc]

no, actual, the plugin doesn't work as expected with IE

Many thanks Francois for the prompt response. I take it if I download Firefox it will work with that. I need a facility on Coppermine that let's me manage image locations for a Camera Club in order that they can be downloaded easily over FTP.

Many thanks in advance.

it's on my todo list to see why it doesn't work with IE but for the cpg1.5 plugin

OK Francois, I appreciate you are busy! For your info, as you could gather I dont use Firefox however I do use Google Chrome and it does appear to work on that. However I am not sure its doing what I envisaged it to. Via FTP I created a new folder in the Userpics Folder called "Open 1". I then went into the plugin and selected "move some files", selected my files and then I was given the option of the "Open 1" Folder to put them in via a little Directory Tree with Userpics at the top of it. I click to confirm and everything seems to go through ok.

However when I go into "Open 1" via ftp there is nothing there? In the Userpics directory, all traces of my image have dissapeared, image, normal_image and thumb_image have all dissapeared so they have moved somewhere?

Thanks again

Brian.

Any ideas?

and with no space in the folder name ?

and with no space in the folder name ?

Francois I did have a space in the Folder Name Open 1 however I have changed it to Open1 and I have moved 2 files to it and whilst they have dissapeared out of the Userpics Folder they have not appeared in the Open1 Folder? I hope I am not being stupid here!

Thanks again.

Francois can I just add that now when I upload an image (I ran out of images to move) everything goes fine, select image, upload, place in album etc. When I view the Album and click the image to get large size, I get;

"Critical Error"
"There was an error while processing a database query"

Does this suggest the root problem is with the database?


I apologise for the psots and I know you are busy, I just hope my feedback is giving some direction.

normally the plugin doesn't interfer with the upload process. The only thing is perhaps you have a permission problem with the folders.
But at least the upload problem should not have to deal with the plugin

Thanks Francois, just seems a bit coincidental? Any thoughts on my previous post on where the images are being moved to? I have searched for them and no joy.

I think they have been erased from the server  :-\

[mearnscc]

I think you are correct I'll set up another folder with a different name from one of the Albums and see how that goes?

[mearnscc]

Francois,

I tried this again with another album created within the userpics folder (no spaces) and used the plugin to move files. It moves the files but to where only God knows! Not sure if its a problem with my set up which I assume is the same as most people or its the Plugin.

If you have not lost the will to live then I'll take any advice.

Brian.

i'll test on mys test install this evening to see if i have the same problem (it's the first time i hear such an issue, this plugin was made for a user, and it seems to works as expected for him)

I've been massively using this plugin to re-arrange all files in my gallery (being online since 2004 it was a real mess!) and never had such issues noticed by mearnscc.
I've also successfully moved files uploaded via XP_Publish, getting rid of all those WPWnnnnnnnn directories spread within the album folder.

I tried this again with another album created within the userpics folder

userpics folder shouldn't be used for FTP uploads, but only for users direct upload (via the Coppermine upload feature) for registered users, I would think the conflict with the plugin lies within this point.

if i want to transfer directory that inside her there is directories with files, it's say that the there is no photos in the directory.
for example -
in albums folder
somedirectory
photos
   try1(9 photos)
   try2(33 photos)

and i want to move the photos directory with all the directories and files inside her to the directory album/somedirectory

how can i do that?
because when i choose the photos album and try to transfer her to the somedirectory folder, it say that there are no photos in the photos album, and it not transfer it.

Does this plug-in still work with latest version?
I've installed it and then click: Information>FileMove, I get this error:
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare cpgGetMicroTime() (previously declared in /home/chainsaw/public_html/gallery/include/init.inc.php:25) in /home/chainsaw/public_html/gallery/include/init.inc.php on line 27

If not, is there any other way of moving  the folders that some photos are in, on my server? I've had a careful look through my PHPMyAdmin, but really have no idea what I'm doing.

Doesn't matter found the 1.5 version. Not sure why my first search failed. Thanks.
