AutoResize add-on doesn't show up

[daveJay]

Hi, I'm a noob to pixelpost, been trying to find a good image gallery and I have high hopes for this one. However, those hopes will be dashed if I can't get this autoresize add-on to show up. It seems to me resizing should be built into pp. But anyway...

I have the add on in the add-ons directory, and I see it under add-ons, and it's status is set to ON, but it doesn't seem to be working. The guide said I should see Auto Resize options under new image or edit image, but there's nothing there at all. Am I missing something obvious?

I just installed PP today, and am running the latest version on PHP 5.2.3 (Unix server). I've had no red flags on the installation, everything has gone smoothly except for this.

Any help is appreciated. Thank you =)

Are you running the latest version of Pixelpost and the Auto-Resize addon?

If so, do you see an AUTO-RESIZE menu item when you visit the Options pane?

[daveJay]

Yes, I've got Auto Resize v. 2.0.8

Auto Resize Addon (Special Edition) (_autoresize/admin_auto_resize - version 2.08) - status: ON


and... Pixelpost version: 1.7.1 (Better than Ever) - January 2008


And there's nothing under Options either. The only menu options are "General", "Template", "Thumbnails", and "Spam Control"

OK.

While viewing the options pane, append &errors to the end of the URL string.
Do any errors show up throughout the page?

Try the same while on the new image pane, append ?errors to the end of the URL string.

I'll DM a temporary admin username/password if it would help debug the problem.

[daveJay]

Nope, I tried both but no errors showed up =(

I was looking at how to uninstall the add-on, and it said to delete two tables from the database, but I looked, and the database doesn't have the tables it said to remove. So I think the problem lies somewhere with the add-on being unable to write to the database?

My MySQL is fine though, and PP is able to write to the DB

My mysql is: 5.0.24a-standard-log (Pixelpost's min requirement: MySQL: 3.23.58 )

I got it!

The admin_auto_resize.php file had an error in it. It had..


if($installed_version != '1.7'){

Which was true for my version 1.7.1 So I changed it to...

if(!($installed_version >= '1.7')){

and now it works like a charm. And it won't break if or when I upgrade my PixelPost.

[daveJay]

I should probably mention that the auto resize still does not appear under "options" maybe this is due to the Pixelpost upgrade breaking the add-on = /

Hello, it appears as though I'm having a similar problem as you... When I change the source, my entire addons panel dissapears? I'm new to pixelpost, and runing v1.7.1 Could you let me know what you did to get this add on to work? If you could I would really appreciate it! Thanks, Inah

[inah]

Nevermind, I had overlooked something! Your fix works beauuuuuuutifully!!!! Thanks!

[daveJay]

Does it show up under the Options page for you? Mine still doesn't show up under Options, and I thought it was supposed to.

(I'm new to PP too)

[inah]

No it doesn't, its just a drop down option when dealing with images...

[Dkozikowski]

Both of you, please download the addon again. You are running an old version.

There was a problem with the way my version numbers were being sorted by the extend section. It was listing an old version as the current download. All has been fixed. I'm sorry for the mixup.

You should be running Auto Resize v2.1.3

[daveJay]

Thanks, it seems to be working now, and I see it under Options.

Great add-on! Kudos.
