Exhibit 1.1d Photo Gallery Plugin

Brad,
As you indicated, I read the prior thread and I learned that, theoretically, I could put in the ‘< !–nothumbs–>’ and then show the thumbs in my post whever I choose by using ‘< !– exhibit-thumbs:1-1 –>’ (Check Ringmaster’s comment to this effect on page 2)
It turns out that I can’t get ‘< !– exhibit-thumbs:1-1 –>’ to work regardless of whether or not the no thumbs tag is used and the combination of the 2 tags doesn’t work either.

Thanks for the attention Ringmaster but I can’t get that to work either. Here’s what I wrote in my post edit box:
‘< !–more–>Shan, Margie Max and I spent the weekend climbing in the Red River gorge in Eastern KY. This weekend was a climber’s festival; Rocktoberfest.
We stayed in the field behind Miguel’s Pizza…
< !–exhibit-thumbs:1-1 –>’
(space between < and ! for purpose of this forum)
I get a more… link but when I go there I only get a thumb list at the bottom and no thumb shown where I designated.

There is a space “…thumbs:1-1HERE“. That won’t work if it’s there. Are you sure it’s not? My aasumption is that you’ve cut and pasted and only added spaces between the <s and the !s.
A link to the page output would help verify this.
Note to self: A better regular expression might obviate this problem.

Good eye Ringmaster.
That spacing error was present and now fixed but the instructions still won’t work…
My blog is

and the first post (at the top) is the one I’m using to test these instructions.

Is there a way to turn the thumbnails off, so they the don’t show up? Maybe some comment tag like < ! — thumbnail_display=off — > or something?

Symantix,
It’s been discussed a number of times in this very thread.

I’m having a problem. When you click thumb to popup the full size the image loads and then the window resizes but I noticed on ringmaster’s site the popup code is different. How can I get mine to work where the popup IS the size of the image?

Thanks Brad. That’s what I needed. I usually read first, but I had been keeping such good track of the exhibit threads in the past, that I jumped the gun and assumed that the issue had not popped up recently, and I was obviously wrong.
As asked before, and I pretty sure was not answered, is there a way to put this tag in the exhibit drop down? I tried, but when I select it, it inserts < ! –exhibit:nothumbs– > into the post.
TIA

I’ve hunted through Support but I can’t seem to find an answer to this.
I installed the Exhibit plugin, enabled it in Plugins, and created a table from a saved message.
When editing a message, I see this:
Exhibit——————————————-
Post Config [-insert-]
No images…
Reset to image /path
Unauthorized.
—————————————————
I assume the “Unauthorized” refers to the ‘images’ directory.
I’m using Debian. My root install is /usr/share/wordpress.
I have a directory called /usr/share/wordpress/images chmodded to 777, and I get the above. I’ve tried several other permutations, including my web root, different chmods, etc., but all I ever get is “Unauthorized” — none of the other errors people have when they seem to have the directory wrong. I’m out of ideas. Any suggestions much appreciated.

Ok…
@brad Jones, Rog32:
You can do what Rog is asking. I don’t know why the individual thumbnails are not working on his setup.
On my test site, I have a WP 1.2 Mingus installed, with the latest Exhibit 1.1d (not 1.1d2), fresh from the archive, with no modifications other than the table that the data is stored (in my database the table is wp_photos not wp_exhibit, since I started with Alex’s wp-photos plugin before I wrote Exhibit). Be sure that you’re using the latest version, since previous version may not have had some of these features.
You’ll note that the post on the home page looks exactly like the post by itself (this is done with the < !--exhibit:preview_like_single=1--> tag). Thumbnails do not display as the default because I used a< !--nothumbs--> and a < !--exhibit-thumbs:#-#--> for each of the inline thumbnails.
Keep in mind that virtually any option that appears in the config file can be set using the exhibit tags for an individual post!
As I mentioned, Exhibit was a replacement for Alex’s wp-photos hack, and I already had some < !--nothumbs--> in my database, so I kept that feature. I should add an item in the dropdown that turns off thumbnails for posts. I will add it to the config file in the next release so that you can also set it globally.
@noise:
The “Unauthorized” is an Exhibit-generated error that occurs when you try to access the file picker as a 0-level user.
This is the first time I’ve heard of anything like this happening, and I would have expected you to see other PHP errors in addition to this message if you were appropriately logged in.

@rm
Thanks for the reply. I see the “Unauthorized” as a Level 9 user. I don’t see any other errors, and WP in general functions fine.
Any ideas? Do you need more information from me?

@ringmaster, Brad Jones and Others
I think I overlooked something rather prominant when I didn’t check my version number before ranting (This is after all the 1.1d forum) (:0))
My apologies!
I just upgraded from what I guess was v1.0 to 1.1d, copied your instructions from your test page via viewsource copy and paste and whaddya know! < !--exhibit-thumbs:#-#--> works great!
As I continue to insist; Great software!
Thanks,
Rog

I figured it out. I used the new 1.1e (or whatever the number is for the 1.3alpha) It is functioning now.

Hi, I recently moved hosts after having some really bad problems on the old one. I had exhbit 1.1d installed on my WP installation and it worked fine. On my new host, I uploaded everything I had backed up. I activated the plugin and then installed the tables and now it’s showing a forbidden message in the window where it should show the image files. I’ve tried changing the CHMOD for the exhibit10.php file, but nothing changes. What should I do?

@brad:
If you click the folder graphic (not the text) that contains the images, it’ll add all of the images directly inside (not recursive) to the post.
I was cutting and pasting names, so, ok… ??
@noise:
Maybe it’s your client plaform? What browser OS are you accessing from? Through a proxy? Have you customized WordPress authentication in any way? Do you have a non-standard directory installation (like, virtual directories to host the WP stuff, or a multi-host setup)?
I’m just trying to think of any reason why the security info wouldn’t pass through to the file picker.
Try this- Go into the file exhibit10f.php and look for this line near the top:
if($user_level == 0)
Change it temporarily to:
if(false)
You’ll want to put this back to prohibit unrestricted access to your image directory.
See if the picker works. Try uploading a file. If things stay OK, it might be worthwhile researching another method of authentication.
@rog:
Glad it’s working. I had a feeling it was a version issue. ??
@razorhide:
Yeah, 1.3 changes the scope of a few things in plugins regarding configuration options. So certain things would work in certain places (like the file picker), but not others (the post editor). Or vice versa. Anyway, the 1.1d2 upgrade should temporarily address these issues.
@nacron:
It’s showing forbidden in the file picker area?
The files in the exhibitimg directory need permissions, too. Specifically the exhibit10f.php file. That’s the file picker. If you access it directly (not on the post page), you should see an “Unauthorized” message. If you’re seeing a Forbidden/403 or Missing/404, something’s funky on your server and you’ll need to mess with permissions/settings until you can see the picker or the “Unauthorized” message.
