It's an early morning here so I thought I'd jump in with the beta. I opted for a clean install.

After removing all previous files and uploading the fresh files, I received this error when attempting
to goto my index at: http://www.christophergrant.net

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or '}' in C:\websider\christophergrant.net\httpdocs\iv-includes\include\ivMapperFactory.class.php on line 6

UPDATE: I neglected to check the php version on my server before uploading. As it turns out, it is an
older version! So I've reverted to the old version until I can harass my provider into upgrading ;-)

Thoughts welcome!
Christopher

Christopher: Sorry, the PHP information got added a bit late from our side. Some servers have options in their control panel to upgrade the PHP version. Perhaps you could check, or also ask your server host if they can upgrade to PHP5, and if not, then why not? It would be interesting to know their response.

PHP 5.0 first appeared the summer of 2004, so there is little reason why hosts should not have upgraded by now. Reference:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PHP#Release_history

To make the gallery faster and more efficient, we had to take the step and abandon PHP4.

Robku: Seems like you have an issue with PHP version also in regards to the audioplayer. Look here:

Thanks for notifying us ...

We cleaned up the code a bit, the minimal required version is PHP 5.1.3. Sorry Christopher, but either we move Imagevue forward or spend time tooling it to work in PHP4 which is already more than 10(!) years old.

Robku: As you can see from this errors you have a bunch of functions deprecated on your server, they don't do anything malicious and this is basically unprofessional. Contact your hosting support and ask them to turn everything back, if this won't help - change hosting. You don't want to use anything like this.

I've already sent an email to my provider. If I don't get a favorable response I've
got another provider lined up so that I can take advantage of the new imagevuex.
Looking forward to trying out the new version in time! ;-)

Bug! When Enable "Use_imagefolder:" in audioplayer options, displays all files in playlist at current directory, including *.jpg and there are no files from "mp3" folder. Player can play JPG? O_o

But I don't understand...
If my provider uses a new version of PHP... and in this version the function is deprecated in this version... than You use old functions? Can you please explain how it works...

Even php.net advises not to use this function anymore...
http://nl2.php.net/manual/en/function.eregi.php

It shows that this function will be deprecated in version 5.3.0. My provider has new software... He is up to date and uses PHP Version 5.3.3... So on all servers with PHP Version > 5.3.0 this problem will occur... So why change provider?

Rob

Hello !

I seem to have an authentication problem.

Here is what I did:

To test X2.5 I made a subfolder to my domain : www.saschagross.de/beta

and copied the X2.5 installation there, gave the installation the appropriate rights and started.

The authentication tab showed up so I entered admin and authed it with my orderID.

Back on the website the tab showed again so I thouht maybe I made some mistake so I tried auth again with the result that it told me the domain is already authed.

The auth tab is still showing though :(

What have I done wrong? Or does ImageVue have to be in the root folder of the domain?

Kind regards,
Sascha

Problem fixed... (partly) I've got my music back :)
Just download the latest version of GETID3: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfile ... e_id=50965
In this latest version all the problems are fixed... they replaced the deprecated functions to vallid ones...

Would be a better fix than going to an other provider. :twisted:

Yes, of course you're right about this, I was just too quick with the answer. This function is used in getID3 3rd party library Imagevue uses to read test. And we need to do bit more testing with PHP5.3.

Thank you for reporting this.

Right, this is embarrassing, sorry. Uploaded a version with updated ID3 library. What of extensions in music player this might wait a little bit.

Could you please provide a ftp login to your server so we could check what's going on with that Exception thrown thing? It's the second time we got report on this but no live subject to check on.
