Not So Fast!

Posted by: on Aug 23, 2010 in Bug Fix, Lazyest Gallery | One Comment

The asynchronuos thumbnail creation introduced in version 0.16.5 created a lot of troubles on some servers. When a user uploaded many images by ftp, the server got bombarded by many requests for thumbnails. This could, in some cases, result in a very high memory usage, internal errors and wrongly created all black thumbnails or even no thumbnails at all.
In version 0.16.7, you will have an option to create cached thumbnails after the gallery page has loaded in the browser. By default this option is off.
Check this only if you are sure your server can handle the extra load.

Faster galleries

For Lazyest Gallery 0.16.5, I made some small changes in the way (cached) thumbnails are created. In previous versions, all thumbnails were being created at the server while computing the code for this page. On galleries with many new images, this could mean long download times or even blank pages because of  a PHP time out. Now, all images cached or uncached will be created asynchronously after the page has loaded in your browser. This will improve the total loading time of your gallery dramatically.

Version 0.16.5 als contains bug fixes to display folder and image captions in the broswer title bar. Thanks to davidddn.

When you experience a "white screen of death" like discussed below, you need to update to version 0.16.6.

Thumbs, Roles, and Capabilities

Posted by: on Nov 19, 2009 in Bug Fix, Lazyest Gallery | No Comments

Here we go again. Two more bugs have been found by Lazyest Gallery users.

  1. A bug in resizing thumbs and slides for portrait sized images. In some cases the height of the resized file turned out to be larger than the maximum height.
  2. A bug in the Admin screen for setting the roles allowed to manage the Lzyest Gallery folders and images. The capabilities got stuck in WordPress $wp_roles object so you could not delete roles from the list.

Both Bugs have been solved in version 0.14.0.3.
