Fatal error: Call to undefined function: fa_show_photos_sidebar() in /home/hisyam2/public_html/wp-content/themes/k2/falbum-wp.php on line 19

I’m just wondering if it’s possible to get the photos menu option to be hilighted while browsing photos instead of just being at the root photos page.

Wow, he´s even productive while on vacation Рenjoy it

Andreas-
I’m having 2 issues:
1) When you go to click on “Photos”, the navbar highlights the “Photos” page, but when you drill down into any album, the navbar changes and highlights “Home” – check it out at elifoner.com.
2) I use “friendly URL’s” for the overall site, but for some reason when I activate the FAlbum friendly URL’s, then type “/photos/”, it gives me errors when trying to look at anything …
Ideas?
Oh, and great job with the sidebar functionality!!!

Andreas,

You are great! I would like to thank you for the work you’ve done, works great for me!

Sorry, ahora funciona.

Thank you, great work!!!

No he podido hacer que funcione, solo funciona el home

http://www.huasonic.com/photos/

Pero las p?°ginas interiores aparecen con un error 404.

Help me, please!!

I am having trouble too, even though I did copy the files in the right dir and did the .htaccess thing.
Thats the error I am getting:

Error: fail: 1 – Photoset not found
Section: fa_showAlbumThumbnails -> $xpath

Does anyone have an idea?

You are the man! That was so easy, and I love the tag display! Thanks again

Andreas:

I’m having the same problem as #18 dave: There has been a new FAlbum released 0.5.6, but when I install your files, my plugin says 0.5.5 is installed. Also, I am missing some images in my newer Flickr sets.

Any ideas what is causing this? Thanks!

Andres: Those are sweet mods…Great work. My only question, which is kind of unrelated to your mods is that when I upgraded to .5.6 I can see all of the thumbnails but on a few when I click on them I get the following message:

Error: fail: 1 – Photo not found
Section: fa_showPhoto -> $xpath

Any idea what that means? Perhaps you could point me in the right direction. I’ve tried the Falbum forums, and it seems that other people have the same problem, but yet there are no responses nor solutions.

Once again, thanks for the great work!!

@Gustavo: No problem with the mistyping
Your actual problem seems to occur only on pictures which do not have a title in flickr.com. Don’t have the time yet to examine what falbum is doing there, maybe I’ll take a look at it next week when I am back from my seminar. But maybe we are lucky and the falbum developer will have the problem fixed by then already (If he knows about it)

actually, i might have found a way around the problem… through searching the forums at randombyte.net, i found a way to call the images using the flickr id tag…
it doesn’t really work all that well with version 5.6 but this has to be the way to go other than titling all of the images…

http://www.randombyte.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=185&highlight=title

you’ll have to forgive me for not trying to figure it out myself but i am not a programer… i can cut and paste but other than that, i am useless.

my url is screwed up in the last comment, so here it comes in idn compability mode .) http://www.xn--hnerbein-65a.de

I also am having the same problem that Eli claimed on comment #7, problem #1. I tried his .htaccess solution with no success. Any ideas on how to keep the photos tab highlighted even when you drill down into the albums?

I had the same problem as Huasonic, when you click into a categorie or even a tag, show only a 404, like here http://fitodotnet.com/web/photos/album/amigos/ and WP has write permissions to root and /plugins/falbum .htaccess

thanks!

I’m running the latest release of K2:
K2 Beta One
Revision 125

@Gustavo,Dave:
I need to disable the friendly url option. It seems falbum does not support photos without titles properly

@Casey,FitoDotNet:
Please ask in the falbum forum for falbum plugin questions. I have no experience in that area.

@Lars:
Taking a look at your page it seems you did not replace the falbum.css.php file with the one in my zip file.

@wynn:
In your style.css you need to change “margin-left: -5px;” with “margin-left: 0px;” for the tag “.primary img”. For dotted border change “border: 1px solid #ccc;” into “border: 1px dotted #ccc;” for the same tag.

@All:
I updated the v0.5.6 zip file linked in the blog entry which should solve that the sidebar is showing horizontally below the pictures.

@Casey: You need to turn on the feature “friendly URLs” in the falbum options dialog page. But beware, this only works nicely if all your pictures do have titles on flickr.com! Then my modifications of the falbum file makes the menu item be highlighted as described above in the blog entry.

andreas, i made the changes you suggested to the style.css but it didn’t do anything. any ideas?? thanks

andreas,
yeah, i made changes to the falbum.css and that seemed to have done the trick for me.
thanks for your help!

First of all, this plugin and your integration is amazing. Because of it I have finally dropped using gallery2. It was just too much of a pain. This will probably be one of many questions, but I have to start somewhere.

Is there a reason why when you click on a tag link that it doesn’t show all the pictures with that tag. For instance if you click on “mikemarley” tag on my site at http://odaydo.com/photos/ , there should be pages and pages of pics but it only shows one page. Could one of you kind souls help me out with this?

Thanks a lot,

mike

For some reason, the second page of my album keeps giving me a an error when I try to go to it:

http://www.caseypicker.com/photos/

Any ideas why? I have albums on that page…

also, the links aren’t working either
would you mind helping me please? i am quite new to php…
thanks in advance.

This is simply a fantastic FAQ. I was struggling with the K2 integration. The Wiki at Randombyte didn’t work well. This worked perfectly.

The last thing I would really like to do is be able to have the Photo Title and possibly the category show up in the HTML arguement. I am not doing this for aesthetic reasons, simply for stat tracking. This way I can clearly see which photos are viewed more. Somehow this would involve resetting the page title before the get_header() call. I don’t know how to do this.

However, this FAQ solved a BIG problem for me where the Title never said ‘Photos’ at all – it was simply the same title as my Main page. Thanks!

yeah i just figured it out too. i got the same problem like Fito. it’s because of the wp permalinks. apparently, if you put / tegory%/ in your permalinks you’ll end up having a 404 error in your falbum subpages.

I am getting the following error:

Warning: fa_parsexpath(XPath.class.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /usr/home/beavgat1/public_html/wp-content/plugins/falbum/falbum.php on line 1407

Fatal error: fa_parsexpath(): Failed opening required ‘XPath.class.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php’) in /usr/home/beavgat1/public_html/wp-content/plugins/falbum/falbum.php on line 1407

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Rich

I wish I could go back and just edit a previous comment, but oh well. Well I know now that the problem is with Mod_Rewrite somehow. If I turn off Use Friendly URLS, everything works fine but when I turn them on, basically my site resets to the default page which is because I don’t think I have a 404 page created yet. When I click to use the friendly URL, it modifies the .htaccess file in my root directory and adds this entry:

# BEGIN FAlbum

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^photos/?([^/]*)?/?([^/]*)?/?([^/]*)?/?([^/]*)?/?([^/]*)?/?([^/]*)?/?([^/]*)?/?([^/]*)?/?$ /index.php?pagename=photos/&$1=$2&$3=$4&$5=$6&$7=$8

# END FAlbum

For some reason that looks wrong, but I will admit my lack of knowledge and hope one of the gurus will be able to decypher what is the problem. Any ideas?

Thanks,

Rich

i downloaded everything, uploaded, even checked for white spaces before or after the tag closings, etc. in all the files. Now when I upload a new album into Flickr, it doesnt even show up in the FAlbum Page. Also, now I can’t even access my albums as I’m getting the following message:

SQL/DB Error — [

The URL of the blog is http://www.underthetracks.org. From there, click on Gallery. Can you PLEASE help?!

Haha.. yeah, I fixed those problems (the problem was the .htaccess file – a previous installation of Movable Type was complicating things in there

I have a CSS issue to fix now though.. in the header, i want the white padding to be even all around the light blue part, but right now, the top padding is bigger than the sides.. i want it to be like http://www.colinseymour.co.uk/

I’m a stickler for symmerty !

Thanks!

@wynn: Take a look at falbum.css.php and search for “.falbum-cloud”. From there on down are the CSS definitions for the tag cloud.

@wynn: with the latest falbum release you should only have the falbum.css.php file to be used. Something seems weired with your installation. But as long as it works

@Danielle: Did you replace the falbum-plugin.php in the /plugins/falbum/ directory and updated the falbum-options to change the rewrite rule in the .htaccess file?

As a side note, I am using date and name based permalinks (/%year%/%monthnum%/?y%/%postname%/) in my Wordpress v2.0 install and the version of K2 I am using is the latest beta (K2 Beta One 133).

Yes… Thanks Casey and Andreas! I checked that I redid all you both suggested, and it still didn’t work. I even went back and uninstalled, cleared htaccess, and reinstalled (v0.5.6 both the original first and Andreas’s update to start fresh) and still nothing. So this is going to be a bit long….

In the end, I think one part has something to do with mod rewrite rules, type of permalinks, and friendly linking. There could be a conflict with other types of permalinks (e.g., Date and name based) rather than the default link structure. Or maybe the friendly URLs option in the plugin and creating a page using /photos/ as a slug is a problem? Or all of the above?

Just for posterity’s sake, Andreas, what exactly should be in the htaccess file (when it does the htaccess rewrite with your version, especially when using date and named based permalinks)?

Randombyte’s FAlbum creates a mod rewrite in htaccess file:


# BEGIN FAlbum

# END FAlbum


In Andreas’s update, the rewrite rule in the htaccess file becomes:


# BEGIN FAlbum

# END FAlbum


But the latter rewrite rule update by Andreas breaks the friendly URLs function on my site with my permalink structure (gives 404 errors). So, I had to put back the original rewrite function in my htaccess file from the original plugin for it to work with my friendly URLs and the rest of Andreas’s updates. Also, I went to the falbum-plugin.php file and uncommented the original htaccess rewrites (lines 145 and 234) and commented out the lines Andreas added (lines 146 and 245), to keep the plugin from rewriting the problem structure if I ever decided to make changes to update the album display options in the future.

In the end, I found a workaround for the page menu highlight that might help others who may encounter the same htaccess/permalink problem I was having.

In the support forums for FAlbum at Randombyte, I found this posting, which then led me to this link for the hack.

So what I did was modified Andreas’s template page update to include the hack from the latter URL like this:


ID = $page_id;
$wp_query->is_home = false;
$wp_query->is_page = true;
$wp_query->queried_object->ID = $page_id;
$wp_query->queried_object_id = $page_id;
}

get_header(); ?>


And it worked!!!! With this hack, the page menu stays highlighted in the header of all the photo child pages when using friendly urls.

Maybe the mod rewrite in the updated plugin file may have to be looked into again with non-default permalink structure settings and friendly URLs?

Thanks!

Andreas:

Just wanted to thank you so much for all your work in developing a great K2 implementation. I had such a headache trying to get my photo’s to render properly before stumbling upon your website. Straight forward installation and your support through the comments is really appreciated. Thanks.

@Casey: I did not test falbum in Wordpress 2 yet. So I just can guess:
- Did you update .htaccess file again in falbum options menu?
- How does .htaccess look like?

@Casey: What about the rest in the file? The wordpress part? The problem seems to be the combination of the two which worked in WP 1.52

Deos anyone have any ideas on what’s wrong with my .htaccess file? I’m still getting the 404 errors…

@Peter, @Casey: The problem with that rewrite rule is, that the menu title does not stay highlighted any more. I am still looking for a solution for that …

@Peter: A solution for which issue?

@Peter: Thanks, that seemed to fix the 404 i was having as well. Then it went back to being broken, my htaccess looks just like what you posted, using .56 of falbum

nothing to change, it seems falbum is areally broken now

FAlbum Options
Initial Setup

falbum.php was intact. But it looks like something went screwy in the DB and I had a falbum_cache and a wp_falbum_cache. Dropping both and reintalling falbum fixed it. yay!
