Image share boo-boo!

  • Comment
Hi folks,

Semi bad but not catastrophic news for those people who use the image share feature on the site. While writing new code for the site that enabled uploaders to edit their image information I made a rookie PHP mistake and updated every single entry on the site with a default title, caption and description.

My last backup of the site was on the 8th of June so I will be doing a manual reload of the backup for all entries before that date. Any entries to the feature since the 8th of June will have their title, caption and description changed to a default text.

Ironically with this new addition to the feature that I have coded today you will be able to edit your image entry text. So please edit any images you have added to the site since the 8th of June!

Sorry!

    I went back to edit all my images but found that the Category dropdown box is not working. No matter what you choose, it seems to remove it from any category and the pictures only show up if you click index. If you select any category and click GO, you'll never see those images.

    I assume the code that pulls the category and updates the table isn't setting it correctly and adds a null instead of the category ID.


    Fixed! Thanks.

    Ahhh...I was wondering why my image titles all said image and description of coming soon

    Thanks for adding the ability to edit image info...beats the heck outta deleting the image and re-uploading to make small text adjustments.

    Thanks,

    Hey one of my images is in the big error picture, and its the second highest rated one... not bad.

    I think I'll rename it "who ya gonna call?"
