[Plugin: Cool Video Gallery] Manual Preview Image Not Working

Hi,

Did you receive the message Video preview image successfully added after uploading the image?

Is permission set 777 for \wp-content\plugins\cool-video-gallery\lib\ and \wp-content\plugins\cool-video-gallery\lib\cache folders in addition to \wp-content\video-gallery\?

Shortcode is enabled for single videos only at present. The update will be released shortly.

Thanks

Same issue over here, and i guess user Teratax in the ‘some issues’ post is refering to this as well.

In this post you are mentioning where the thumbs go.
In my case however after installation the video gallery folder is not located in the uploads folder, but one step above in the wp-content folder.
I did not examine the code yet, but could this be the cause?

@lemaire

Yes the video gallery folder is at location /wp-content/video-gallery/. The path specified in the other post was my mistake. Permission must be set to this folder in addition to \wp-content\plugins\cool-video-gallery\lib\ and \wp-content\plugins\cool-video-gallery\lib\cache. This is to create thumbnails from images uploaded. Let me know if the issue is resolved.

Thanks

By the way, i checked the path in the database and this seems to be according to the actual situation as described above.
I am running wordpress 3.0 with the twentyten template on a win2k server.

This has nothing to do with permissions, since even if i attempt to manualy upload preview images on the local server – full permission set for everyone – it does not work.

@lemaire

I’ve corrected the path in my previous reply. Are you getting the default preview image for video? Is permission set 777 for \wp-content\plugins\cool-video-gallery\lib\ and \wp-content\plugins\cool-video-gallery\lib\cache folders recursively? What is the message you receive after you upload preview image?

noticed you provided some alternative codepieces in the other post, howeber one of them does not show due to moderator intervention :-)?

Would like to try this before examining the script myselves.

Seem to just receive your replies in my mailbox, but cannot see them in the post…

Anyway… i am experiencing exactly the same as Teretax describes in the other post.
Select image, imagename shows in the pop up, click upload and nothing happens… no error, nothing.

Yes, could you please try replacing get_max_size and `upload_preview
inplugins/cool-video-gallery/lib/core.php`

function get_max_size() {

    	$upload_size_unit =  wp_max_upload_size();
 		$sizes = array( 'KB' );
		for ( $u = -1; $upload_size_unit > 1024 && $u < count( $sizes ) - 1; $u++ )
			$upload_size_unit /= 1024;
		if ( $u < 0 ) {
			$upload_size_unit = 0;
			$u = 0;
		} else {
			$upload_size_unit = (int) $upload_size_unit;
		}
		return $upload_size_unit;
    }

Permissions are at 777, like the instructions said.

I’d like the gallery to show in a page, Not the sidebar. The instructions were not clear to me about that.

@poodyglitz

Yes like i said, currently the shortcode is available only for adding a single video to page content with [cvg-video videoId='vid' /] where vid is the id of the video you get after uploading a video into a specific gallery.

Shortcode to add a complete gallery into page content is not integrated into this plugin. That will be released shortly.

Thanks

@poodyglitz

Please find the new release of plugin with the feature to show a gallery in a page. Refer installation tab for instructions.

Thanks

@lemaire

Please find the new release of plugin and see if the issue is fixed. Let me know about it.

Thanks

@praveen, i tried both replacing the functions mentioned in version 1.0, and installing version 1.1
Unfortunately, without any changes regarding manualy uploading preview images.
Maybe this helps:
even if i manualy drop preview images in the thumbs folder, name them the way you described (i.e. thumbs_nameofvideo.jpeg) and manualy ad the filename in the thumb_filename field, the preview image still does not show up.

Otherwise: from a handling-, user-friendlyness-, video upload speed point of view this is an excellent plugin! (and I tested a lot of them :-))

question: does thumbgen.php have anything to do with manualy uploading and/or displaying manualy uploaded preview images?
