    Hello-

    I have recently created a webpage and have been searching for a photo gallery tool. Plogger seems to be it, but I am having a problem importing photos. I have put a couple photos of different sizes (no extra "."'s in the name, I searched the forums) in my uploads directory (http://www.szyszkoski.com/plogger/uploads/) but it will not find them in the plogger administrator pages when I click on import. I can (and have) uploaded similar photos, and they display just fine. I thought maybe the /uploads/ directory needs to be in my root directory, so I created one there, but still no luck. (http://www.szyszkoski.com/uploads/). I changed the permissions to read and write, but that didn't help at all.

    Am I missing something easy here because I am a newbie at this?

    Here is my gallery website: http://www.szyszkoski.com/plogger/index.php

    Any help would be appreciated, I am out of ideas.

    Thanks
    David Szyszkoski

    I am trying to figure out what Plogger *can* see, becuase I know it can't see my uploads directory (or inside of it at least). Looking in the /admin/plog-import.php file, I see that it is doing some sort of a file count, and if it comes up with zero, it displays my wonderful message that I have gotten to know and love:

    "No images found in the /uploads/ directory. To mass import pictures into your gallery, simply:
    * Open an FTP connection to your website
    * Transfer photos you wish to publish to the /uploads/ directory
    * Optionally, you can create folders within that directory to import in groups"

    I have tinkered around in that file, but not knowing a lick of PHP, only some FORTRAN, basic HTML, and some sketchy BASIC, I was unable to make it do anything meaningful.

    "It wants to count files?" I thought. "I'll give it files to count!" I put *.jpg images in each and every folder in my /plogger/ directory. count($files) STILL == 0. Like trying to teach a 3 month old to count.

    Does anyone have any suggestions, or maybe some insight on a command or two that I could make it show me the pathname of where it is looking to count files? They are there, I swear it! I counted them myself (twice just to make sure), and got 11, not 0. Permissions should be OK as well...

    I just noticed something... The error message says "simply..." open a FTP connection blah blah blah. Simply!?!? SIMPLY? AAAAAAAAAAAAAAARHG!

    Thanks,
    David

    I erased everything and re-installed everything... Still doesn't work. I am being hosted on GODADDY. The only thing I can think of is that there is some function or something in the IMPORT feature that is incompatable with GODADDY. Is this true/untrue? Has anybody gotten the IMPORT feature to work with GODADDY?

    Thanks,

    David

    Wee Ha - Got it to work.

    The problem was that my platform on GODADDY was windows, and it needed to be linux, because apparently some of the PHP functions are not supported under windows.

    If anybody else has this problem, make sure you have a CGI account, not an ASP account.
