Maybe it's an idea to put a .txt file in the contrib/upgrade folder with: 'for 1.2.0 to 1.2.1 only replace these files' or somethin because many people expect code changes, this way it's kind of confusing if you know what I mean.

I happened to notice it right away, but you are correct.... it can be a little confusing.  I imagine once MG sees this post he will move it to the Upgrade folder to avoid any future confusion.......Thanks  

The file is named changed_files, not code_changes... I won't provide code changes, because I want to be sure that files are working in the way I wrote them. Most of people cannot follow correctly code changes, and I have no time for supporting also this kind of problems, so I prefer users to replace all files, or if they are PHP capable, using WinMerge for upgrading their files.

I'm sorry for this, but I'm really short of time, and I had to cut some thing which I thought was less useful. I hope you can understand my point of view.

Anyway, thank you for your suggestion, I will try to be more clear in the instructions files.

Ok, I'm a bit lost here. I was testing 1.2.0 RC2 and hadn't checked here in a while, as I was busy with other projects, now I see 1.2.0 and 1.2.1. I downloaded 1.2.1 but I am unclear what are the proper steps to upgrade from RC2 to 1.2.1. I remember, after following instructions on a post I left on upgrading from Beta 6 to RC that my version number never changed at the bottom of all the pages (it still says 1.2.0 Beta 06). So, what is the proper procedure on updating from RC2 to 1.2.1 with the DB change needed to change the version number at the botton of each page?

Sorry, but I don't have RC2 any more. You can use WinMerge to compare the installation files and check the SQL to be added.

A quick way could be DROP album_config and add it again from scratch (from FAP 1.2.1 installation file).

In any case, please remove all old album files and then add the new ones. This is important especially for ACP files.

If I remember well, no changes to phpBB core files.

So, for the people that helped test this mod there's no way to upgrade from RC 2 to 1.2.0 and then to 1.2.1? I feel a little dissappointed about that.

So you feel disappointed...

Sorry, but I can't accept this.

You have posted 3 messages until now.

The last is the one I've quoted here, and the other two are requests of code changes for versions which I stated that I wouldn't have supported. I've specified it more than once.

I remember you from the other site, where you have only asked FAP to be PHP 5 compatible... no any other messages... how did you helped this project to develop? You are only wasting my time asking for something I've already said I wouldn't have guaranteed.

More... I've told you how to upgrade your album, and if you're not able to follow those instructions, you can live with your old version. At least a little on how to install/upgrade a mod is required.

I'm doing all this for free, if you don't like this project or the way I manage it... then, good luck. No one is keeping you here, or forcing you to use FAP.

I wish you the best.

And by the way, I'm the one who feel really disappointed, and I think I have the right to.

Not much to add to that really.   This is why i very often feel like just jacking in it.  Never mind MG, for every one person that bitches ther are a hundred who really do appreciate the effort, and they all know how to replace all the files and add a couple of SQL inserts.

Not to create a round robin, but I did point out the fact that I wasn't active and wound up involved in other projects. As far as my comment, I didn't say I was disappointed in YOU, I said I was feeling a little disappointed, which I am, I should have been more proactive since I was beta testing. The disappointment was a generalization in that regard, and not directed toward anyone but myself. I'm not the first person you've made rude comments to while grumpy, nor will I be the last. My question was merely asked since I couldn't find any accurately detailed changelog, yes, I know to replace all of the mod files and add in db changes but in previous similar posts by others there were replies contradicting one another, and I wasn't sure if there were any major changes to other files since phpBB has recently made changed to session handling, is the version number now hidden like it is for phpBB core files for security reasons, etc. There is no way I could have known that, and would have needed to ask, yes, it IS my fault for not being more active, but you, of all people know how other things in life consume your time. And in my own defense, I have been more active in the past than what you are hinting at. I was doing my part previously and mentioned some of the php5 issues, since that was the only issue I was getting, and one of the first people use php5 and offer to beta test.

There was no intentional "jab" at you, and I thought that I had made that clear by stating that I haven't been active in my original thread reply. I wasn't disappointed in YOU, I was just feeling a little disappointed, and there were many reasons I said that, and "Damn, I should have been more active like I commited to by using a beta." was the main one. Hope it's all cleared up, and let's move on.

Sounds fair enough to me.  Got our wires a bit crossed .

Where is the rude part in my post?

If you had searched this site and the old one, maybe you would have figured yourself. I stated several times that I wouldn't have provided changelog for all version... and especially for betas... I'm really tired of repeating this.

Again, you're accusing without providing clues... where the replies contradicting one another are?

I'm expecting you to answer this...

I've not said you're a dumb, or something else... I've said only that I've received from you only 5 posts, and all of them are of requests... I'm not repeating that again. I don't know what are you doing in your life or in all other sites... and I'm not going to check it. What I say here, is what I have read for you since I know you. Each of us has its own life to care on. You are free to ask... but I should be free to answer.

Maybe it's a language problem, that is not helping us to communicate, but I really don't like your way to write here. I've read this post at least 10 times, and maybe I'm not good enough in english to understand what are you writing.

So, if I've been rude, please forgive me, it wasn't my intention. I simply don't accept people who are only asking because they don't want to waste their time... but they take the right to waste mine. I'm not referring to you now, I'm speaking generally.

---

Coming back to your original problem, I really can't see where the problem is in replacing all files and comparing install files with WinMerge... you can do this in few minutes. If you're not able to do it, send me your install file, and I'll do it for you.

watermark and some title are not working very well...

my watermark is at www.pulsarnx.net/0beta02/album_mod/mark.png

please vist my beta ( www.pulsarnx.net/0beta02)
you will notice that watermark is not there AND it shows html code ( %20 ) such as Tesfdasr%20ewa - 000"

and what is " - 000 " ?

so can you fix it?

oh yes i dont check everything but i will informatin what is missing or whatever.

edit: i dont realize that there are bug forums... sorry i can't split this to correct section.. anyway i forget to tell

after uploading pic with nuff mod and there are no image preview ( with number or pics under the preview image) ... just only normal view page

ps. can you please add default theme... thanks.

Didn't understand what you were saying but i can tell you this bit:

Citazione:

t shows html code ( %20 ) such as Tesfdasr%20ewa - 000"

and what is " - 000 " ?

is fixed in the next version.

ok sorry about bad english.. i was sleepy

anyway about watermark.. i put mark.png at right bottom corner but it doesnt there ( i already enable watermark)

about uploading... after upload done and there are no preview pic... just only picture shows after upload and preview images.

ok great about fixing strange character

I think you can only use 8 bit png with the water mark, are you using a 24bit one?

Are you saying that the upload works ok but the preview image doesn't show.  Is that the only problem?

about watermark... really? i will go to check it again

[edit] ok test it on IE and FF... i notice that mark.png is 8bit ( still no changes) and not there on both bowser ( IE and FF) BUT you only can notice strange mark on FF... i dont know where did it from... its said "Watermark [enter] Full Album Pack"
[/edit]

about upload... yes yeah thats right.

someone else had a problem with the preview.  Really if the thumbnail is created ok, i cannot see why it wouldn't show.  I will have a look though and see if i can find an explanation.  Can you check the path of the file it is trying to show, right click on the red x and check properties.  From this we can see if it is using the correct path.

Try a black and white watermark, just two colours and make sure there is no alpha channel.
