What do you mean “They must have changed it in a later version”. You’re aware I’m one of those persons in the Pixelpost team?

The code should be backwards compatible but obviously is not. Thanks for the fix, it is not unlikely other addons have similar issues.

Better yet, here’s a fix.

Open: /installFolder/includes/flash_thumb_scroller/get_pixelpost_thumbs.php

Line 6: start_mysql();
change to: start_mysql('../pixelpost.php','front');

It’s throwing the error because you’re not calling the start_mysql command properly, and it’s having a bit of a cry about it. They must have changed it in a later version of pixelpost.

The only issue with it now is that there’s a grey line underneath each thumbnail. I’m not sure what that is, but you can hide it (losing a bit of the bottom of your picture) by going into the admin page and changing the Thumbnail padding to 0px and thumbnail bottom padding to 10px. Though that’s just a patch up job.

Here’s the errors I got following your advice:

Notice: Undefined index: tag in /export/home/duck/schoolreunion/includes/functions_feeds.php on line 20


Notice: Undefined variable: ftc_thumbBackgroundColor in /export/home/duck/schoolreunion/addons/admin_FlashThumbScroller.php on line 276

Notice: Undefined variable: ftc_thumbBackgroundOpacity in /export/home/duck/schoolreunion/addons/admin_FlashThumbScroller.php on line 277

On mine, the bar comes up however there’s no pictures in it. It’s installed in a subdomain and a subfolder on a fresh install.

For those of you having problems, can you follow the steps outlined below and relay the printout to me? Locate the index.php in the root folder of your photoblog. Open this file with an ASCII editor and replace the following line :error_reporting(0); with this: error_reporting(E_ALL); Return to your photoblog in your browser. You should see all these error notices and warnings. Look for something like this:

Warning: require(../pixelpost.php) [function.require]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in addons/_flash_thumbscroller/libraries/get_pixelpost_thumbs.php on line 3

If you don't see any warnings or notices you might want to turn on error reporting through htaccess as detailed here.

Hi Dennis, thx for your response. I also tried to run it on a subdomain on my live server… without luck.
The project was for a client so I did a little workaround using jquery to get the same effect. You can see it on my testpage stefanie.gatonet.de/index.php?showimage=73&category=2 When I have some time I will try your addon again maybe we could find the bug. Have a nice Sunday

I strongly suspect it has something to do with the fact this happens to photoblogs installed in a subfolder.

Please contact me if you’re willing to run some tests so we can figure this out.

I’m facing the same problem too… This addon is developed almost 2 years back, so I dont expect any updates/fix though…

I got exactly the same problem. Fresh pixelpost installation without addons. I installed the addon on my local server and it just doesn´t show any thumbnail.

Hello there,

thanx 4 your great addons! They are all brilliant! But there is one problem:
I don’t get the “flash thumbnail scroller” to work properly. I’d like to exchange the SC_THUMBNAIL_ROW> tag on the image_template with the thumbnail scroller. If I do so, I indeed can see the scroller with it’s arrows, but there are no thumbnails in it. It’s completely empty. What’s the matter with it?

Is it because it doesn’t collaborate with the Geos Show Categories-Addon? I want the thumbnail scroller to show all the thumbnails of the chosen category. Is there any chance to get this done at all?

I’d be really thankful for your help!!
