I seem to have commments working right now by changing a line to this: <form method="post" action="<#fbself#>">

and by adding this line: <input type="hidden" name="image" value="<#fbimagename#>" style="display: none;" />

I changed and added these lines in both almanac_main.php and almanac_comment.php.

hmm, mine still doesn't seem to save properly and I did what you did. I added the line of <input type...> right above the other input lines, though.

Need heaps of help for this :(

Also, why can't I access /pblog/? I can only access the fb.php section. Did I had to change some permissions?

By the way, my photoblog (still under major construction and testing mode) is accessible here: http://www.norannayasmin.com/pblog/fb.php

Why can't I access it as a /pblog/?

Also, with the Almanac template, is it possible to leave the header on when you're clicking on some of the links above?

Thanks heaps, I am new to this but the program seems cool so far.

Noranna, to access it at /pblog/, the file has to be named index.php.

You can either just rename the PHP file to index.php, or create a file called index.php that includes the code:

<?php header("Location: http://www.norannayasmin.com/pblog/fb.php"); ?>

oh, cool, I can access it as pblog :) thanks!!!

still working on the comments trouble, though.

Noranna, make sure $require_captcha is set to 0 in fb_settings.php

ok, did that and it seemed I can get comments but like the comments are e-mailed to me but not displayed on the photoblog.

Anything else I should make sure of?

Thanks heaps!!! :D Folderblog is awesome!

This is what I get, by the way:
Warning: fopen(comments/IMG_8346_com.txt): failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/noranna/public_html/pblog/fb.php on line 234

Make sure you've created the /comments/ directory and CHMOD'ed to at least 755.

Yep, I did create the comments directory in /pblog/ and CHMOD'ed to 755. Still not working... I'm using the default template tho, with some design/style tweaks here and there...

ooh, it works now :) I CHMOD'ed it to 777.

Working on how to generate thumbnails now :(

Ok, I can create thumbnails now but one more problem is with the posting! Whenever I post / add caption to a photo I uploaded, it says Warning: fopen(photos/IMG_8496.txt): failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/noranna/public_html/pblog/index.php on line 284

Warning: fwrite(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /home/noranna/public_html/pblog/index.php on line 285

Noranna, might be the same problem — try chmodding your caption directory (and your folderblog directory itself, for the RSS) to 777 as well?

thanks! works now! :D

Still have the problems with comments. They do not work on my folderblog. I changed and added the lines as mentioned in this thread, i chmod the comments dir to 777 and set fbcaptcha to 0 in the fb_settings.php. Anything else to do? Btw i use the almanac theme.
thx in advance Mo

i am having the same problem that comments are e-mailed to me rather than being posted! i have also all the instrcutions that were posted here!

my problem is now fixed, i did not add the codes that Mark mentioned properly. now that i added, it is now all working. hooray!

thanks mark ! worked for me also !

hi all, I'm now installing the folderblog and it's great... (thanks Donald) but... it doesn't work properly.. and I read here I have to CHMOD the folders to 777.... I'm really a beginner.. how do I do that?

You need to use an FTP program. There are many out there. I am using WSFTP and I simply right click on the remote file/folder and select properties and it brings up chmod properties.

If you don't have any ftp software and you just want something basic you can go to:

http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html

and download psftp. It works with unix shell commands:

to login "open domain.com"
to view directory contents "dir"
to change directory "cd directory_name"
to change chmod "chmod 777 directory_name"

thanks but I had that figured out in the meantime...

my comments are now working but this appears after you add a comment:
Warning: mail() has been disabled for security reasons in /mnt/storage/users/l/u/p/luplik/index.php on line 241

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /mnt/storage/users/l/u/p/luplik/index.php:241) in /mnt/storage/users/l/u/p/luplik/index.php on line 250

Lucia, I think the mail thing is a problem of your specific server configuration / your webspace provider. You could try upload a separate PHP file with content like

<?
mail("myEmailAddress@domain.com", "This is a test subject", "This is the message");
?>

If you get the same error message, you wont be able to use the mail function in general with your current webspace. A solution would be to simply erase the lines that try to send you an email when somebody writes a comment on your blog.

:(((
the answer was:

Warning: mail() has been disabled for security reasons in /mnt/storage/users/l/u/p/luplik/test.php on line 2

So, clearly your server has too strict security settings to use folderblog in the normal way. You have two options: 1) change the webspace provider 2) erase the mail() lines from the folderblog source code.

so i think i will erase the mail line... :(((

thank you for your help... i really appreciate that... :)

Just installed fb (v3, Almanac). Also having problems with comments... comments allowed, captcha off, added the lines of code suggested above to comments and main, chmodded the comments folder, but keep getting this warning (and no comment posting or emails):
Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /homepages/1/d89529408/htdocs/tara/wordpress/folderblog/fb.php:5) in /homepages/1/d89529408/htdocs/tara/wordpress/folderblog/fb.php on line 254
Anyone know what I should be doing?
Thanks in advance.

... also. Comments not displaying, but are being stored in comments/_com.txt. how to display?

... have deleted fb_ziptc.php (don't have a way to store iptc metadata as far as I know - which, admittedly, is little). comments now display, but am still getting that warning.

I know why such an error message occurs in general: Somewhere in the code might be a line like "Header("Location: blablabla.php")" or something. This is for redirecting to another page (maybe in your case to the fb.php).

The error then occurs because this attempt to redirect requires that there was really nothing (!) sent before by the website including the above mention line of source code. Therefore I guess it is a problem of your specific combination of Wordpress and folderblog, and as I remember there might be detailed help on the Wordpress website.

About the comments thing, why are you comments stored in the file you mentioned? As far as I know this never goes for folderblog, so it cant be its comments but maybe those of wordpress. Comments in folderblog are stored by creating a text file with the name of each image file in the same directory as the image is in.

Well... I hope this wasnt too technical now...

no, not at all too technical. I just didn't know what to look for. thanks to you, found it immediately.

I just deleted those three lines where fb.php set the header and everything's working well.

no idea why the comments were storing in that particular file! deleted it (since it wasn't being used) and it hasn't reappeared.

thanks for the help!

Sometimes I wonder myself why solutions can be that easy. ;) You're welcome!
