Minifreunde,
In the install directions there is a reference to two other files. the viPortfolio.profile.directions.html and viPortfolio.paperc.directions.html. The only option with those is to manual install them. You have to edit both php files and templates. You can start with http://{yoursite}/viPortfolio.php?userid=1 to see if things are working.

In the last couple hours I have read more about GD and graphics than I ever wanted to know :)

Hopefully this will fix it.

This fix only updates the viPortfolio.php file. I am attaching a zip file with just that php file in it. If you could extract this one over the previous one and verify that you now have version 1.0.5.

There are some errors in this version. I haven't not pinpointed the exact cause yet. I get error messages saying: Cannot allocate palotte or Cannot allocate colors. Then a try a different image of the same type and it works fine.

I still have not found out why people are not see the thumbnail images instead seeing a broken link. I am still hopeing the thumbnail creation and the broken links are related.

For those a little hesitant that I even have it running on my server ;) My test server is Portfolio Test Server This url will not be valid for very long. I randomly get a new ip address and even more frequently install and uninstall the portfolio. I will leave this available for the next few days though.

Here is the real version 1.0.5

Hello Teddy!
Ok if checked youre instruction, and now i see the upload.
The Admin-CP Settings are currently hidden?? I don´t know what can the Problem be.
When i tried to upload a file, this is the result!

Heres a Screenshot from Phpmyadmin. You see the Pic is saved there...

And here is the result when i click on the link directly after the upload-options. My Filesize is about 9 k i think....

Here is my admin-cp....you see, the options?? :confused:

This is great. I can help fix almost every one of thse problems. ;)

1. Control Panel Settings. Since the settings are already in the table that means you must have ran install_settings.sql. Great. I added additional manual steps to complete the settings update.
Brief directions: Settings won't show until there is a value greater than 0 in the displayorder field. populate that field with a value (I picked max(displayorder) and you are done.
Long directoins:
1. Execute the following query
SELECT MAX(DISPLAYORDER) FROM SETTINGGROUP;
2. Add 1 to the number that is shown and replace the words <i>{highnumber}</i> with the displayed number + 1:
UPDATE SETTINGGROUP SET displayorder=<i>{highnumber}</i> WHERE title LIKE 'viPortfolio%';


What you see after you have uploaded your image is the major issue everybody but me has been getting. That has been part of the reason it hasn't been fixed. I am having an extremely difficult time recreating the problem. Right now there is no fix.

the error message is incorrect. Every time I fix it it somehow gets overwritten by the time I upload to the server. I have gremlins here ;) So here is the fix, I am going to make sure it will also be fixed in the next release.

open the viPortfolio.php file. On the 6th line you will see
$message="
You have exceeded the 75k file upload limit. If you are
having difficulties optimizing your files, we have multiple
people ready with helpful suggestions.
Thank you.
";

replace everything from line 6 thru line 11 with the following line:

$message = $msg;

This will get you more accurate error message.

I have alright done this. But it dosen?t help me. Ive see the Link in the CP, and when i click i get the result from the last Screenshot...
I Promise i did all you explain... :ermm:

Never once thought you were trying to pull a fast one on me :o All this time you are thinking you are going to get a 50% discount on the cost of the software :nervous: Little did you know it was free :classic:

I believed you sooooo much that I went back and double checked what I wrote and then reread what the installer was doing and you are absolutely correct.

I missed a third step. Thanks for being persistant! :)

UPDATE setting SET settinggroupid = <i>{highnumber}</i> WHERE settinggroupid = 65534

Sorry about the frustration and I will try and keep my simple mistakes at a minimum so we can actually get this working. :rambo:
