Sledge Wrote:Had a bit more of a nightmare with this a little earlier -- found that the gallery thumbnails would randomly fail to display (broken link icon instead) on the live site. At first I thought it was just IE9, which dismayed but didn't surprise me, until I noticed that it was happening in Chrome too, albeit with far less frequency. It was literally a case of different images failing every time I refreshed a page.
Anyway this is a bit of a show-stopper as the site in question has to go live tomorrow, so I just hefted everything over to Lightbox2 (which is lovely but I immediately missed all the handy back-end stuff and the way I18N Gallery resizes images for display seems superior). Thought I'd give you a quick heads-up on what I encountered -- as a complete and total guess maybe this is significant?
I'm currently enhancing the I18N Gallery plugin and seeing the same problem on my local site.
As far as I can determine, sometimes there is an error opening plugins.xml (when calling work in progress version of pic.php)!?
(I had to monitor the traffic with Wireshark to find this reason)
Currently I am assuming that it might be a problem with the maximum number of open file on the server (my local computer runs Ubuntu) and is partly dependent on how many parallel requests are sent by the browser.
I never had the problem with the currently released version of I18N Gallery - as it does not include GetSimple include phps.
