any help you can be is greatly appreciated!!!

do you get the red error box when trying to upload a photo or when you open that site in the browser?

if the first is the case, which file format you wanted to upload?

maybe a fileformat which is not supported?

[graye]

Hiya Connie,

Thanks for the response.

Bottom of the screen has a red box with 'error' written inside in black text when trying to upload an image via the new image page.

I've tried JPG's and TIF's, both large files (few megs) and small files (under 500k) but none can upload.

[Connie]

TIF is not supported because no browser will accept TIF!!!

Only webproof-fileformats are:

GIF / JPG / PNG

big files are stupid in a webpage, because the screen can only show 72dpi and who wants to load megabytes when opening a website?
Please keep the filesize convenient

it is very reasonable that you came over a filesize-limit-for-upload of your server

[graye]

good point about tifs, i simply wanted to try a different format and it was convienient.

you are correct, big files are stupid on a webpage, however i've even tried uploading a 17k JPG file (of course set at 72dpi) and I still get the same red box 'error'.

just to make sure i didn't reach any filesize limit I checked into my status and I'm currently at 1% of my 10gig limit.

anything else you can think of that i might try?

[Connie]

one question:

is this the first time you want to upload or did it work before?

[graye]

new to pixelpost. installed for the first time today. :o )

[GeoS]

Go to /includes/functions.php and find check_upload function then change it to this:
function check_upload($string)
{
global $admin_lang_pp_up_error_0, $admin_lang_pp_up_error_1, $admin_lang_pp_up_error_2, $admin_lang_pp_up_error_3, $admin_lang_pp_up_error_4;

$error_explained = array(
"0" => "$admin_lang_pp_up_error_0",
"1" => "$admin_lang_pp_up_error_1",
"2" => "$admin_lang_pp_up_error_2",
"3" => "$admin_lang_pp_up_error_3",
"4" => "$admin_lang_pp_up_error_4"
);

$result = $error_explained[$string];
return($result);
}

This bug will be fixed in next release (currently it is fixed in CVS - http://pixelpost.cvs.sourceforge.net/pixelpost/pixelpost_dev/includes/functions.php?view=log).

[graye]

I'm not sure what CVS is or even what you did, but it definately worked!

Thank you so much!

[Connie]

CVS is just our system to keep the versions which are in development

Hi there,

I am having the same problem as graye. I have been using pixelpost at least for 6 months and haven't encountered this problem before. My pictures are always JPEG's and 72dpi. I have more than enough space for the files with my hosting.

I changed check_upload in function as GeoS suggested and tried to upload another picture. But still getting the red error message box.

What do I need to do?
Thanks in advance for your attention and reply!

I am having the same problem as Graye - except that I've been using pixelpost for years and suddenly tonight am given this error.

Tried to update the functions code to what you said, and now the Admin panel is not accepting my login/password! Have uploaded my old functions back, but it is still locking me out right now. Try again and again to re-upload the old file and clear my cache.

Help!

[tanjatiziana]

Login problem corrected and now I'm back at square one. Despite the upgrade, I am still getting the red bar ERROR.
