Pixaria 2.5.6 Bug Fix

A couple of users have reported problems with out of memory errors or blank pages after upgrading to version 2.5.6 and I now have a fix for this issue for anyone who experiencing the same problem.

As the issue is database related you will need to use PHPMyAdmin or a similar database admin tool in order to apply the fix which can be done by running these two commands on your Pixaria database:

DELETE FROM `psg_settings` WHERE name = 'func_simple_slideshow';
INSERT INTO `psg_settings` VALUES ('func_simple_slideshow','1');

The issue responsible for this was an infinite loop bug in the upgrade script from version 2.5.5 to 2.5.6 that caused multiple entries of the simple slideshow setting to be added to the Pixaria settings database table. The SQL commands above repair this issue.

If you're not using 2.5.6 or are not experiencing errors, there is no need to apply this fix. The next update will automatically repair all other installations where the problem is present in the database but there are no visible problems being experienced.

April Development Update

Since it's been a few weeks since I last posted a development update on Pixaria, I thought now would be a good time to share my progress report on the next version of the script.

For those looking forward to a new image upload system, the great news is that I have now integrated a Flash powered upload tool into the software which makes the process of uploading images about as simple as it's possible to be. To illustrate how this works, I've posted a short QuickTime movie showing the process of selecting some image files and uploading them to the server. This new system will cut out most of the steps previously involved in importing image files and will be released as a beta in the next few weeks.

There are a number of other improvements and new features scheduled for the next update so stay tuned for more details.
