[Plugin: PhotoDropper] Photodropper stalled at "Photo saving"

i would like to have v2 of photodropper running. because the search seems massively improved, bevor v2 it didn’t handle more than one search term.
BUT: i have the same problem like spabav.

another issue with v2: i accept the tos, BUT i don’t like that i have to agree with the tos EVERY TIME i want to photodrop an image. my agreement is obviously not stored anywhere.

possible plugin substitute:
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/free-stock-photos-foter/

I’m having the same problem too. the folder permissions are 777 on teh uploads directory and still gets stuck on saving photo.

also, upon each startup, it shows the intro screen asks me to say if my site is commercial and for my email address each time. Seems it isn’t remembering settings properly.

OK, settings seem to be remembered now, but saving still does not work.
Keep digging!

Got the message below from the Firebug Console.
Is this helpful?

Same problem here – permissions are fine, and it looks like the plugin has attempted to create the image file on the server but it has a filesize of 0 – so the process is obviously stalled somehow.

the redesign look fantastic but the plugin is literally unusable for me at this point… kind of a drag! I hope you get it sorted soon…

(reverted to previous version, which works…)

I may have found what is wrong by chance:

when I tried to produce a child theme for by WP installation I ran into the situation where absolute url’s were not accepted by the host to access the parent-theme files from within the child theme directory. I did some research and found I had to write a helper function to get the path as defined from the SERVER DOCUMENT ROOT:

function ParentURL()
{
	return str_replace(get_bloginfo('url'), $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'], get_bloginfo('template_url'));
}

What this does for the template url is to replace the ‘home’ url part in that path by the ‘server document root’ path. so for example:

http://www.myblog.com/wordpress/wp-content/themes/mytemplate

will become:

/home/myhostaccount/domains/myblog.com/public_html/wordpress/wp-content/themes/mytemplate

It is quite likely that a similar issue exists with accessing the images directory. The host sequrity settings will then block access even if the RW settings seem to permit it.

I guess it’s worth a try to look at this for photodropper!

Nicky, same problem here.
