psnGallery2 fix for dash in the database name !

Well, I was helping Peter to use psnGallery2…And I finally found the issue :

His Coppermine database name was like « database-coppermine » ! So in the code, to be able to handle several databases (one for WordPress and another for Coppermine), the plugin is using this kind of syntax :

select * from database-coppermine->cpg110_config this causes a mySQL Error ! Because the first dash seems to be considered as a special character !

To fix this, I will deliver very soon the release 1.3.2 !

In the meantime, if you have the issue, simply replace in psnGallery2.php (around line 164)

$info['TBLPREFIX'] = $info['DBNAME'].'.'.$info['TBLPREFIX'];
with
$info['TBLPREFIX'] = '`'.$info['DBNAME'].'`.'.$info['TBLPREFIX'];

This will fix the issue !

psnGallery2 1.3.1 soon on your site
If I have time, the psnGallery2 version 1.3.1 will be available for download tonight (GMT+2).

It includes few fixes and the 3 new tags described in the previous post.

I have also scheduled for a near future to improve the install/upgrade procedure, it will be based on the WordPress install/upgrade script.

The install functionnalities will be :
- Create the table « psnGallery » if doesn’t exist and/or update the structure if needed.
- Look for the Coppermine « config.inc.php » to extract the Coppermine configuration data
- Create/Update all required « psnGallery2 » parameters
I give no date for this but it could be soon (depending on the free time I will have in the coming days, weeks)

I will keep you posted on the evolution of that script.
