Phoca Forum

Hello all (new here).

On a clean Joomla 1.5.23 website (running PHP5), with none other than Akeeba Backup 3.2 and JCE 1.5.74, I then installed Phoca Image Gallery version 2.7.8 and everything went without a hitch. I then created a number of categories, uploaded a number of JPEGs to one of them for starters, and created thumbnails. Again, all without a hitch, and clicking on a menu item revealed the gallery scrolling and clickable features and popups working beautifully.

Due to the default Parameter settings however, I could see that the image thumbnails were displaying the filenames so I tried to change this in Parameter settings. In-fact, after double-checking the manual I had tried so many settings I lost count, but still the persistent filenames below the thumbnails and popups on mouseover. I even tried recreating the thumbnails with altered parameter settings to no effect.

I then tried unpublishing an image but the associated thumbnail and related functions were still active after closing and re-opening the browser. I should also mention that all of this and the above was done with the Joomla cache deactivated.

It's no-doubt something stupidly simple, perhaps even server-side (?), but alas only limited time to resolve this.

All help gratefully received !

Thanks in advance,
FJ

EDIT:
With no replies I'm guessing by now that all viewers are as confused as I am, though after revisiting the affected web page this evening the correct thumbnail/image name and added description are now correctly showing. I then edited another image the same way and faced the same problem as yesterday. Looking at CPanel however, this was previously used to host a Frontpage website and has the dreaded Frontpage Server Extensions activated, so anything could be breaking Joomla/Phoca server-side! The images that were left unpublished yesterday still have issues however - they were still showing Note: Nothing to do with browser cache by-the-way.

Time for a server refresh and complete reinstall methinks

Another website on another server, no FrontPage Server Extensions this time, same general spec as before, and STILL the same issues as above.

Surely, this has got to be a notable bug, or if I'm doing something wrong then I'd sure appreciate a few pointers or suggestions. The Joomla site (parked domain) sits in /public_html/home with a redirect to this directory, but I can't imagine this should pose a problem. As I say, everything else I've tried appears to be working, though I can't say I've tried everything.

Simplifying things a little (anticipating a common issue) I would like, for example, to establish why unpublished and unauthorised images still appear in Cooliris with the Joomla cache disabled throughout ?!

Anyone?

Having made a significant donation, a last try before troubling Jan for informed advice.

A wishful thanks in advance.

Hi, not sure If I read your posts correcty, but did you set the parameters in menu link to phoca gallery? See:

If yes, there can be some other problem while saving parameters, see:

Thank you Jan.

Sorry for the delayed reply - I've been away on business and just getting back into the swing of it

I'll review the suggestions and links and will post back the results to the possible benefit of other members.


All the very best,

FJ
