Forum: Plugins
In reply to: Image Resizing/Thumbnail Generation PluginI’ve been at this for a bit longer and tried some more including playing around with the plugin itself.
First, I found a naive mistake (at least I think this was the correct fix). What should have been in my page instead of what you show on your site ( you show just <pixgallery></pixgallery> ) is the following:
<?php PixGallery_PhotoGallery(‘<pixgallery></pixgallery>’);
I only figured that out after looking at the plugin though I guess in a way it was obvious that there was no function call so where would the pixgallery calls be read in by?Anyway, the heart of this post is on the plugin:
Line 47, shouldn’t it be something like:
$PixGlobal_Url = get_bloginfo(‘wpurl’).”some additional path”;
Note: the some additional path in your original plugin was equal to “index.php/photos/”. What should this be?Line 48, shouldn’t it be something like:
$PixGlobal_RootWebsite = ABSPATH;
Note: I think this gives exactly what you need here if I understand the plugin.Now, I’ve modified the <form></form> in the plugin so it will show both of these variables and let me change them. I’ve tried many permutations to no avail.
Last note:
I have a web site: http://www.kathyandglenn.com
My blog lives down a directory though at:
http:/www.kathyandglenn.com/gt-blog/
I put the storage for the images below that (which was what I thought the intent was in your almost non-existent set up instructions).
http://www.kathyandglenn.com/gt-blog/images/photos and
http://www.kathyandglenn.com/gt-blog/images/cacheSo the core variables ought to be:
PixGallery_RootPhotos = /images/photos/
PixGallery_RootCache = /images/cache/
PixGlobal_Url = get_bloginfo(‘wpurl’).”/images/photos/” /* though this doesn’t work so what would */
PixGlobal_RootWebsite = ABSPATH /* provides proper path which in my case is big long unix path */I know I’m being thick but it’s hard sometimes to sort through others code (especially since php really is new to me!). From your site, it really does look like a great plugin and that is why I’m willing to do all this effort so I’m looking forward to getting this to work.

In reply to: Image Resizing/Thumbnail Generation PluginI’m not sure I’m seeing the same thing. I’m not seeing any error messages when I activate the plugin. I am running this on a hosted site (running some flavor of Unix). I installed it ‘plain jane’ – no changes and saw no error messages BUT nothing seemed to work (put <pixgallery></pixgallery> in a page and saw nothing including no error messages). When I view page source, I do see that the plugin puts some formatting pieces in place but that is it.
Based on that, I figured it’s not finding that paths so I tried monkeynotes fix but got nothing different.
Given the samples, this looks like it could be a great plugin but at this point I can’t get it to do anything. Any ideas why?
P.S. Other note: my site is similar to monkeynotes in that it is in a directory off of the main site so the ‘/images/photos’ and ‘/images/cache’ directories are off of the subdirectory where my WP install is not the root website.
