Upload - Title and Description do not get inserted in the DB?

[red1946]

When I try to upload a file the Title and Description fields only show up on the upload form if I'm a Guest and when I fill them out they do not get inserted in the DB? When the approval sceen comes up they are blank. Anyone help?

Checked and re-applied the permissions on all folders in "Album". User "tester" Pw "tester" at www.mimawscloset.com/gallery [NSFW]. Also the "Title" and "Description" fields only show on the Upload form for guests. Thanks

<!--Coppermine Photo Gallery 1.5.18 (stable)-->
Please upgrade first.
http://documentation.coppermine-gallery.net/en/upgrading.htm#upgrade_any

Maybe one of the files is corrupt.

[red1946]

Upgraded to 1.5.20 earlier.

[red1946]

Performed the same way before and after the update

[Jeff Bailey]

Still shows 1.5.18

If you have any plugins enabled please disable them one by one and see if that changes the form.

[red1946]

No plugins installed. Something go wrong with the update maybe?

[Jeff Bailey]

You could perform it again because it still shows 1.5.18

[red1946]

OK! Any problems with doing the update over again? Any caveats?

[Jeff Bailey]

As long as you follow the instructions you will be fine.

Thanks Jeff, I'll try the update again. Let you know what transpires.

Maybe you downloaded cpg1.5.18 instead of cpg1.5.20:

Users running versions prior to 1.5.20 should update immediately by downloading the latest version from the download page (there's currently an issue uploading new files to our download section at SourceForge - however, you can download the package here)

[red1946]

I chose re-install 1.5.20 instead of updating. I still have a similar problem only  now "Title" and "Description" fields don't show on the "Upload" form for guests but do for administrators and registered users. When I first tested this guests and registered users worked fine but administrators did not. I'm so confused!

[Αndré]

Those fields are displayed for me (as guest) as expected at http://www.mimawscloset.com/gallery/upload.php

[red1946]

http://www.mimawscloset.com/gallery/upload.php is the 1.5.18 install I tried to update. The new install is at http://www.mimawscloset.com/gallery2/upload.php.

[Jeff Bailey]

Those fields arn't suppose to show for guests, it's expected behavior.

If you allow guests to upload files to your gallery, they won't be able to add file details. This feature has been disabled as it's not possible to identify the user without fail (see thread). Additionally it may attract spammers to add textual content to your gallery. If you want to enable that feature anyway, find Coppermine's configuration table in the database and change the value of allow_guests_enter_file_details to '1'.

So to make it work:
Upgrade your gallery then make the suggested database changes.
