Issues with CVG Ver 1.8

I added same gallery with showcase, playlist and slideshow option, and on playlist I have

Task Queue failed at step 5: Playlist could not be loaded: XML could not be parsed or playlist was empty

on the others there is gallery not found

And I checked database, but in wp_cvg_videos I don't have exclude column.

This is the issue, the plugin is not installed properly. A new field is added in 1.8v which is missing in the installed version.

Let me check on this issue. You could uninstall and try it once again.

Update: Could you check on one more thing. What is the type for video_title field in database. Is it varchar or mediumtext?

When updating the sortorder of videos in a gallary, the ‘sort by’ -Video ID and -Video Date seem to do the same thing (which is not strange because the newest video also gets the highest ID). Can you reverse the ‘sort by -Video Date’ option so the latest video will appear first? Thanks!

Hello again, I will reinstall plugin now.
video_title is varchar for 20 chars (varchar(20)).
Thanks for help, I hope reinstall will work!

@ VisionairNL

Please try this till a new version is released. Hope that helps ??

cool-video-gallery\admin\gallery-sort.php

Replace Line No: 91

$videolist = videoDB::get_gallery($gid, true, $orderBy, 'asc');

with

$videolist = videoDB::get_gallery($gid, true, $orderBy, 'DESC');

Uninstall the plugin and install it again.

May I know how you upgraded the plugin?

Ok, everything done. Now, after reinstall it works like a charm.
By the way, I found a bug(?), you can see it here

And I upgraded plugin like that:
Admin Panel -> plugins(1) (so I knew that something was updated) -> I saw that your plugin was updated, so i clicked changelog -> after reading changes, I clicked update plugin (I’m not sure but It was in right corner of popup window with changelog) -> new page opened with inscription: “downloading cool video gallery …”. Thats all.

Big thanks for your support here!
Anyway, have you ever thought about translating your plugin ?
If you are planning that, I can make polish translation.
My e-mail is: [email protected].

Once again, thank you.

@ Patrixer

Good to know ?? I think it is some CSS issue with the theme you are using. I’m not able to see that in your live site now.

I will note your email id for future reference ??

I created two playlists, youtube videos successfully added your id

I checked the xml file -> Test-playlist.xml
Appears it only

<? xml version = “1.0” encoding = “UTF-8”> <rss version = “2.0” xmlns: jwplayer = “https://developer.longtailvideo.com/trac/&#8221; xmlns: media = “https:// search. yahoo.com / MRSS / “> <title> <channel> test </ title> </ channel> </ rss>

haora any list new playlist not load.
but if you manually edit the xml file, make it work correctly list

Note: XML file is not created Correctly With The video list with cool video gallery plugin

how to Solve this problem

Thanks for your time

@pr:

Seems to work fine for now, although the sortorder in the Dashboard and on the frontpage are not the same. But that’s ok for now! Thanks again.

@ supertnt

The plugin upgrade did not happen properly. See the above discussion on the same. Database of plugin is not modified accordingly.

If you are having access to MySQL database, I can provide you with query statement to fix this issue.

I have to change something in the database? or delete some do not understand that to solve this problem, I reinstalled the plugin but still the same problem.

Thanks for your time

@ supertnt

You can either uninstall the plugin completely and do a fresh install or you can modify database to make the required changes.

What exactly do you mean by reinstalled? Did you mean reactivate?

@praveen

So I just caught up with the discussion and I did as suggested, now things seemed fixed. Just a recap with what happened and what I did so as for others who have similar problems to get it faster without getting confused.

My problem with 1.8 was either shortcode or widget will show [Gallery not found] even my gallery is there and my videos are there. This problem is indeed because of the SQL database not being properly updated during the direct upgrade from WordPress interface. The newly added “excluded” column was not added when I checked MySQL. Had I have your query statement to run it’d be much easier for me to fix it, except, I directly uninstalled then reinstalled, which eventually rebuilt the database and make things right again.

For those who have the same problem, before uninstalling, make sure you backup your sql (go to MySQL, select cvg_gallery and cvg_videos respectively then export them and save them.) You might also want to backup your video-gallery folder as well, as un-installation will remove that folder.

You can’t just delete the plugin to fix this problem. Because delete and plugin and reinstall it doesn’t fix the database table. Only uninstall then reinstall will get things back on track.

The easier way is to ask Praveen to provide a SQL query statement to directly run in MySQL so as to add the “exclude” column without uninstalling the CVG then reinstalling, because that surely takes too much time, especially re-uploading the video-gallery folder back, if you have a lot of videos, re-uploading them would take a lot time as you could imagine.

Hope this helps with others who have the same problem.

^^ just to add a bit to clarify – uninstall from admin panel >> left nevigation >> Video Gallery >> Uninstall CVG is a REAL uninstall, which will in turn fix the problem. If you only get to plugin page, unactivate this plugin and delete this plugin, this is not uninstallation. And this won’t rebuild the databse, which means this won’t fix the problem.

Perhaps @supertnt only did a “delete” plugin, not really uninstall. With the same idea, only deleting/removing the cool-video-gallery folder from “Plugin” folder doesn’t uninstall it, hence, won’t fix the problem either.
