when i use the 'new image' page i get a red box with 'error' inside. no other info is given. I know, not much info to go on. If there's more info i can provide please let me know and I'll post.

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?

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.

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?

one question:

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

Go to /includes/functions.php and find check_upload function then change it to this:

PHP Code:

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....php?view=log).

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

Thank you so much!

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