   It seems that I have some problem with image size because for every image I sent the thumbnail can't be generated.
   
   For a small image it's ok but some restriction in apache (hosting not of my property) keep image far from visualization.

   
   

   I resolve with Flickr so I post from Flickr directly in my blog

   In my eyes, using flickr negates the meaning behind a personally hosted photoblog. Beside of that: I'm sorry, but without the proper resources on your webhost (especial RAM) you won't be able to resize images with PHP and gdlib. But as far as i expirienced, most hosters agree to install imagemagik if asked.

   Upgrade instructions from previous versions would be most helpful, as well. :)

     Hi Leanne -
     
     Nothing easier than that:
     If you want to upgrade to a newer version, just make sure you have the right WordPress Version and replace/overwrite the existing YAPB-files on your server. Finally deactivate and activate the plugin - Done. If you upgraded from RC1 and below, make sure you set the new cache dir to 777 - As in the installation instruction.

   Hi there,
   
   your plugin looked like the exact tool I needed, so I gave it a try.
   
   I unpacked the file, and copied the whole contents (files and subfolders) of the yet-another-photoblog folder into /mydomain/wwwroot/wordpress/wp-content/plugins directory. Since I'm using a windows based system, I took no further action.
   
   Then I activated the plugin via the siteadmin, and then... my blog is no longer accissible and only gives the following error:
   
   Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required '' (include_path='.;D:\PHP\PHP5\pear') in D:\home\g-online.info\wwwroot\wordpress\wp-content\plugins\includes\YapbConstants.script.php on line 8
   
   Any ideas on how to reanimate my blog AND get your plugin to work?
   
   Kind regards,
   bigfoot

     Hi bigfoot -
     
     First of all: I didn't test YAPB on PHP5. All my installations run on PHP 4.x - Secondly: To reanimate your blog just delete all YAPB-files on your webhost. Then go to the YAPB-forum (http://johannes.jarolim.com/yapb-forum) and tell me more about your installation: WordPress Version, YAPB Version, URL to the blog so i can see the error by myself.

   Hi,
   I was excited when I read the description of YAPB and was hoping this one would finally work. Alas, same problem as every other photo plug-in I've tried...
   
   "Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error."
   
   I followed instructions above (including CHMOD of cache directory) before trying to activate.
   
   Any ideas? That's such a generic error...tried Wordpress support and it seems quite a few are experiencing same problem.
   
   I'm using version 2.2.1
   
   Thanks!

   Hi,
   
   I’m trying to install the YAPB pluging, and have been hitting a problem whereby the YapbThumbnailer.php is only spitting out the text "no log messages" (rather than an image). (Of course, it took me a while with broken images before realising what was what was happening!)
   
   It seems that the YAPB plugin is storing the wrong URL for my images in the database ( table 'wp_yapbimage'). My Wordpress uploads directory is "../images". My Wordpress installation is in at "WEB-ROOT/wordpress", therefore the images are being uploaded to "WEB-ROOT/images". The images are uploaded correctly, but they are not being correctly retrieved.
   
   I think the '..' is confusing YAPB!
   
   I’ll try to track down the fault and post a fix, but you’ll probably be able to do this quicker than I can.
   
   Best regards,

   Hello,
   
   I have installed this plugin like described in the readme.
   I also have made a posting, and I wanted to add a picture in it, so I used YAPB to post the picture in the writing of the post.
   
   I tried this a couple of times, but a picture doesn't show up, and even the counters on the options page of YAPB also says that I haven't posted any pictures... What could be wrong? :(

   I also gave the cache folder a chmod of 777, so that could also not be the problem... ;)

    Hi JJ,
    great work with this plugin, but I'd like to suggest you one small change. My website crashed already two times after installing YAPB. Finally, the cause was the "lib" folder inside the plugin folder tree. Web administrators often set "lib" folders as security threat and Apache block the site after several attempts to reach the user created "lib" folder.
    
    Check this server message:
    mod_security-message: Access denied with code 406. Pattern match "/lib/" at REQUEST_URI
    
    So, rename "lib" to "util" and you'll get more happy Yapb users :)
    Best,
    
    Tomislav

    On the 2.3 version your plugin gives an DB error:
    
    WordPress database error: [Table 'weblog.wp_categories' doesn't exist]
    SELECT * FROM wp_categories ORDER BY cat_name

    Just a heads up... YAPB 1.5.2 is incompatible with Wordpress 2.3, I had to disable it to allow WP to load without throwing PHP errors.

      Sorry, YAPB is tested on PHP4. Maybe you're PHP5 installation doesn't allow the use of the function "realpath" ? YAPB depends heavily on the use of that function.

      I had the same error and just figure it out. I uploaded YAPB with converting filenames to lower case. Make sure you have on your site file named Yapb.class.php, not yapb.class.php.

    Hi,
    
    I sent a comment yesterday with the error code but I don't see the comment this morning. After I posted the comment, I checked my blog again and found that I got the same error message for every access to my site! I couldn't even get to the WP admin pages to check the YAPB status. In consequence, I deleted YAPB from my site, and my blog came back safe and sound.
    
    I'm running WP version 2.0.2.
    
    Thanks for any help; I am very interested in using your plugin.

      Hi Ria -
      
      To run the newest version of YAPB you have to use WordPress 2.3.

      Right now, it's not possible to do that over the options panel - But you may have a look into the file includes/YapbConstants.script.php (line 24)

    I've been running YAPB on WordPress 2.1 for sometime with great success!!! But now want to upgrade to WordPress 2.3 and your latest YAPB update. My first attempt was a disaster. I upgraded to WordPress 2.3, but that deleted the YAPB tables from the database - how do I upgrade to WP 2.3 and the latest YAPB without blowing away my existing YAPB data?

      Hi Jimbo -
      
      First of all - YAPB doesn't delete it's table. never. If you want to upgrade from WP 2.1 to 2.3.1, please follow the steps mentioned here:

        Johannes:
        
        Thanks so much for your reply. Let me explain in more detail the problems I am experiencing in upgrading to WP 2.3 and your latest version of YAPB 1.6.2.
        These are the steps I followed:
        1) Created backup of database and WP files.
        2) Turned off the YAPB plugin.
        3) Installed the new WP 2.3.1 files.
        4) Visited /wp-admin/upgrade.php, which updated the database, but in the process deleted the wp_categories, wp_link2cat, wp_post2cat and wp_yapbimage tables.
        5) I reimported these tables into the database from my database backup.
        6) Installed the new YAPB 1.6.2 plugin files in the WP plugins directory.
        7) Get a FATAL ERROR when I try to activate the YAPB plugin.
        
        Any idea as to what is going on?

    Okay, the forum is down and this is a stupid question, but I've installed yapb and have no idea of how to upload pics. I've tried using the Yapb image box, but there's no "upload" button (for the Yapb image box) and when I publish the post, the image doesn't appear.

      Just select an image, write your post and submit it.

    Where can you download this from? I can't find the zip file hosted on the site mentioned. If it is maybe someone should tell them to make it a little more obvious.

      The site i mentioned is the (sorry for the caps - but they have to be used in this case) OFFICIAL WORDPRESS PLUGIN REPOSITORY. The link is (and again: sorry) THE VERY BIG, BLUE BUTTON ON EVERY PAGE, yapb related.
      
      So please open your eyes.
