[SOLVED] Unable to delete photo

Hi

I can't seem to delete a photo album from my gallery. I can delete other photos, this one photo just wont go away.

I have tried:

+ Disabling Imagemagik & Url rewrite
+ Optimized the database
+ Deleted the template cache
+ Deleted the database cache
+ rebuilt all thumbnails/resizes
+ Deleted & reinstalled the modules core folder & main.php from a backup.

Also tried chmod the directory to 777 in cpanel, the album wont go.

I have put the gallery in debug mode & here is the error:

Error (ERROR_PLATFORM_FAILURE)

in modules/core/classes/GalleryDataItem.class at line 222 (GalleryCoreApi::error)
in modules/core/classes/helpers/GalleryEntityHelper_medium.class at line 84 (GalleryDataItem::detachLink)
in modules/core/classes/GalleryCoreApi.class at line 2271 (GalleryEntityHelper_medium::deleteEntityById)
in modules/core/ItemDelete.inc at line 79 (GalleryCoreApi::deleteEntityById)
in main.php at line 231 (ItemDeleteController::handleRequest)
in main.php at line 94
in main.php at line 83

What am I missing? This photo is the walking dead that won't die. Any help would be much appreciated.

Cheers

Hi Suprsidr

Thanks for your fast reply. In answer to your questions:

1. There is no link item in this item that I know of (I dont use link item).
2. Did you want me to delete line 84 in Helper_medium.class? The line is:

3. Linkitem is installed & active.

Do you think reinstalling gallery might fix the locked photo?

cheers

Hi

I can move the photo and now I can delete the album it is in.

The photo won't delete, it comes up with the same error

I was thinking of upgrading to Gallery ver 2.3 and seeing if that helps. I use gallery checkout (a shopping cart plugin) and it is only compatible to 2.3.

Will let you know how it goes, just backing up my gallery first.

thanks for your help.

cool, downloading it now. if anyone is looking for gallery 2.3.2 get it from here

Updating is good and should be done but this may be a bug in G2 (except if you had been manually messing about with the filesystem in g2data or with the db.

Not looked at the code in detail but it seems you may have this issue if the parent item has been deleted before trying to delete the linked item.

Can't imagine that this would not have been caught during development but it is theoretically possible.

You should be able to get around this by temporarily editing your modules/core/classes/GalleryDataItem.class at Line 221 from

	if (!$platform->copy($sourcePath, $newPath)) {
	    return GalleryCoreApi::error(ERROR_PLATFORM_FAILURE);
	}

to

	if (!$platform->copy($sourcePath, $newPath)) {
	    return null;
	}

Restore things after deleting the errant file and do update to v2.3.2
