I got a critical site error on 26 June 2021 when the StopBadBots plug-in auto-updated.
Several remedial actions were taken, including turn off StopBadBots, update PHP, and more.
Working with the site design consultant, I now have back the thumbnails that should then open my albums.
But all are replying with error http 500

I'm going to get the hosting service to take another look at this and this post is purely to get any comments from other Ploggers on any recent upgrade misery.]]> http://www.plogger.org/forum/comments.php?DiscussionID=3900&Focus=14452#Comment_14452 http://www.plogger.org/forum/comments.php?DiscussionID=3900&Focus=14452#Comment_14452 Tue, 08 Mar 2022 09:13:31 +0000 xiphias

You might want to give this a try. Still a work in progress, basically only did this so I can continue to run my 3 plogger galleries in Joomla. I still havn't found an alternative for plogger, all other galleries or CMS add-ons are crap.
Crap? Yes, crap. They might work with 50 images here and there, but I have 10.000's of images in plogger, and everything is automated.]]> http://www.plogger.org/forum/comments.php?DiscussionID=3900&Focus=14453#Comment_14453 http://www.plogger.org/forum/comments.php?DiscussionID=3900&Focus=14453#Comment_14453 Tue, 08 Mar 2022 21:07:26 +0000 joemolloy I have to agree about the other miserable offerings. I have tried a couple, but they do not pass muster.

I still rate myself a novice, but will take a look at the link and let you know.

Thanks for getting back to me. Glad you are alive!!

Original plogger had been dead for a while indeed. Like I said, no good alternative. I've altered my of plogger to read title and description from the metadata of the images so all I do is upload a folder structure and import and forget. Works great for my events.
To bad all other galleries I tried require you to manually add this data, or move files to albums one by one. Can't use FTP but need to zip each album. Etc etc, they all suck ;-)

I've looked at the result and it looks great in xiphias site, just as I want mine to look.
I've not yet figured out how to, or why a symlink will help. I uploaded the test images to the PHP7 database.
I've also uploaded a few images to the PHP8 database, but not yet pointed my main webite to it. I have been hoping to solve the images/thumbnail fault in PHP7 first.
I'm looking for a PHP developer to help with the troubleshooting.]]> http://www.plogger.org/forum/comments.php?DiscussionID=3900&Focus=14465#Comment_14465 http://www.plogger.org/forum/comments.php?DiscussionID=3900&Focus=14465#Comment_14465 Mon, 13 Feb 2023 09:16:42 +0000 xiphias
Any luck with your install?

Actually having issues with my largest Plogger install at the moment. I can't add albums, so working on that. I had changed the PHP version to 8 on this album but then phpThumb had issues so running 7.4 for now. Will have to look into that.

I've been tinkering around the edges, with no success.

Hoping actually that someone raised the issue about thumbnails elsewhere or in another programme.

I'm getting urged to find a solution as I have not published our collection of images for over a year.

I've registered with Upwork but the PHP experts seem to be looking for bigger contracts.

I have been thinking of giving up on the PHP7, trying the PHP8, but maybe, from what you say, that is unlikely to succeed.

Keep me posted if you find an answer.

I think I also had an issue with thumbnails, I think in my case it was folder access right icw php8, so went back to php7 and checked folder permissions and I'm back running.

Over 11.000 images in 200+ albums in 17 collections.

Still no better alternative out there. Just upload a whole folder structure, import and done. All metadata like title and description are read from the files, haven't found a gallery that does that right.]]> http://www.plogger.org/forum/comments.php?DiscussionID=3900&Focus=14468#Comment_14468 http://www.plogger.org/forum/comments.php?DiscussionID=3900&Focus=14468#Comment_14468 Tue, 11 Apr 2023 21:06:42 +0000 joemolloy http://www.plogger.org/forum/comments.php?DiscussionID=3900&Focus=14469#Comment_14469 http://www.plogger.org/forum/comments.php?DiscussionID=3900&Focus=14469#Comment_14469 Mon, 12 Feb 2024 09:31:59 +0000 xiphias http://www.plogger.org/forum/comments.php?DiscussionID=3900&Focus=14470#Comment_14470 http://www.plogger.org/forum/comments.php?DiscussionID=3900&Focus=14470#Comment_14470 Thu, 26 Mar 2026 09:37:22 +0000 xiphias Gallery Stats: You have 20 collections, which contain 346 albums and 16734 images.

Still haven't found an alternative that works for what I use it for. They either don't read the EXIF info into the photo titles and descriptions, or a very complex way of adding images to an album.

Playing around with Piwigo but adding images is a p.i.t.a. One of the main reasons for still using Plogger, also with my OYPO integration.

For simple galleries I do use SFPG, which is a single .php file which just creates albums based on folder structure. Very easy for quick albums, but haven't researched it further for integration and altering to include OYPO. SFPG is also a bit slow since thumbs are not realy cached, so uploading high res images is not really a good idea.

Anyways, I hope you're doing well.
