It seem that I did a very bad work in mergin the 0.1.3 tag with the admin menu, several files were not updated. Still have to learn well all the svn thing.
Fixed version online in minute, sorry for the hitch
Hehe, if you keep going with your version numbers like this, you’ll soon be at version 20.0. 
Downloaded 1.5 to cure division by zero and Constants issues, however uploading images failing:
“There were problems saving picture details.”
Have sql syntax errors in error logs reported seeming to revolve around the admin image quantity settings, also when simply clicking into album page an error is generated:

WordPress database error Table 'mysite.wp_bp_album' doesn't exist for query SELECT DISTINCT COUNT(id) AS count FROM wp_bp_album WHERE 1 = 1 AND owner_id = 1 AND privacy <= 10 made by require, wp, WP->main, do_action_ref_array, call_user_func_array, bp_album_setup_globals, bp_album_query_pictures,
Running pretty clean install of 2.9.2 & BP 1.2.2.1
@Tosh, @Baur, @Modemlooper, @Jedbarish
Thanks for your very fast replies. The problem you are experiencing was caused by a problem with a failed SVN commit, and WordPress.org’s plugin repository rolling-back to version 1.3 on about half of our files without telling us.
Obviously, that broke the plugin.
Upgrade to the 1.5 and the problem will vanish. If you’re still having trouble, just delete the entire bp-album folder and copy the bp-album 1.5 folder in its place. It will start working again instantly.
@Xevo – I think the version number incrementing thing is very funny. What’s with all this version 0.0.16 software out on the Internet. I want to be at version 87.5 by 2012 …lol!
@hnla – two questions:
First, did version 1.3 work?
Second, are you running MySQL in “Strict” mode?
@Travel-Junkie
We’ve temporarily switched to single options to make debugging faster for the admin panel upgrade.
We wanted to get the admin panel version out absolutely as fast as possible AND have a table we can easily ask users to view using PHPmyAdmin if something goes wrong.
You are clever for noticing this! Don’t worry, we will remove it once we are sure everything works properly.
^F^
@hnla – two questions:
First, did version 1.3 work?
Second, are you running MySQL in “Strict” mode?
1/ No never tried 1.3, first install was with 1.4 and bad timing on my part as it was literally two minutes before you uploaded 1.5 deactivated 1.4 unzipped new files reactivated, devision issues cleared but errors appeared as above.
2/ Hmm Strict Mode – almost certainly not however not 100% sure but this was on my local dev running pretty loose in all server respects and think Strict Mode would have been an issue arising before as I have perhaps half a dozen test installs in various states and not having issues, it’s true also that I have a further company dev server and two live servers so get confused sometimes what is running what.
I’m on the company network so am going to try installing to my local dev copy here and see what gives if it works here then it’s an issue with my set up which I’ll track down and report for the record.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_versioning
That article explains a lot. I use the revision number for bug fixes. Minor versioning for new feature releases and major…well haven’t gotten to that yet, but when it is completely rewritten or forked, update the Major number.
fyi
Upgraded to the latest version btw. Working great now
I’ve been using CubePoints with my single WP install to get people on contribute to my site.
They get points for posts, comments, forum posts, daily visit, etc
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/cubepoints/
Anyway, they provide a simple API, so I was just wondering where I could put this code. So when people upload a photo they get some points. If they delete a photo it will take away points.
<php
if( function_exists('cp_alterPoints') && is_user_logged_in() ){
cp_alterPoints(cp_currentUser(), 20);
cp_log('Photo Upload', cp_currentUser(), 20, Community)
}
if( function_exists('cp_alterPoints') && is_user_logged_in() ){
cp_alterPoints(cp_currentUser(), -20);
cp_log('Photo Deleted', cp_currentUser(), -20, Community)
}
?>

Now tested a further install on 2.92 / 1.2.2.1 and for interests sake running backwards compatibility plugin.
Same issue as previously described
<snip>
WordPress database error Table ‘powl_theowlmu.wp_bp_album’ doesn’t exist for query SELECT
Checked my.conf and definitely not running in Strict mode.
However a significant amount of other errors such as global-adminbar.php not found and internal redirect exceeded suggests that perhaps the test against backwards compatibility plugin is not a valid one.
I assume I’m meant to be seeing some tables created on install? or only when an image is successfully uploaded?
After I updated to 1.5 and still got the error message “There were problems saving picture details.” after uploaded the picture. I checked the folder where the user’s directory under album already uploaded several photos but still couldnt get through the error message and display those images.
Hi, I have the same problem as jedbarish.
I use bp version 1.2.2.1 and wpmu 2.9.2
When i uploaded an image i get the error message “there were problems saving picture details”

FIXED! FIXED! FIXED!
We have a working fix for the “There were problems saving picture details.” error.
I will post a link to a .ZIP file with the updated plugin here within an hour. If you are experiencing this problem, please download it and confirm that it works on your server.
After that, we will release 0.1.6 with the fix included in it.
Thanks so much to all of you for helping with nailing this bug!
^F^
I still got the same error “There were problems saving picture details.” when I uploaded the picture 
And you deleted the entire BP Album plugin directory and copied the new files in their place?
^F^
what was changed? testing without error. Only thing I notice is more privacy options.
For some users with specific PHP and mySQL options set, the plugin did not install properly, making it impossible to upload images.
This release fixes that problem by using different SQL syntax to create the main database table.
^F^
It worked after re-installed for several times. Im looking forward to see lots of improvement!
downloaded your 1.6 beta zip and overwrote existing files, re-activated plugin and this time activation correctly created table wp_bp_album
Successfully uploaded and saved an image so all appears to be functioning correctly now.
Only possible issue I saw was that after initial upload the thumbnail is a clipped view of the full image and at no point did I see any means of cropping, and all thumbnail representations of the actual image are not resized but simply clipped; is this by design? or perhaps I have not addressed settings in backend correctly?
For some users with specific PHP and mySQL options set
Hmm in a dev environment I tend to have very loose restrictions, and can run things as I see fit , it tends to be production environments where these sorts of issues would arise.
What version of MySQL were you writing to?
Great work francescolaffi, it works perfectly with version 1.6, congratulations for the plugin
One thing I noticed. After I upload a photo, then I post a regular update (not a reply). It acts like a reply sorta. But it shouldn’t be displayed under a photo upload. Here are some screenshots

@_dorsvenabili – I’m glad you like our plugin.
There are actually two developers working on this plugin now, @francescolaffi, and myself @foxly; @francescolaffi is busy writing his exams right now, so I’m handling all the user support for the next few days.
BP Album is community-developed software! If you find it useful, please consider contributing code, translations, and ideas to the project. Helping answer new user’s questions on the forums is also helpful, because it means we have more time to work on writing code.
@hnla – Deciding how to dimension thumbnails, based on images with widely varying aspect ratios, and then present them in a grid, has been a problem that has dogged graphic designers since the earliest days of the Internet.
The two most popular way to do this are “Facebook Style”
http://foxly.ca/facebook-style.jpg
and “Flickr Style”
http://foxly.ca/flickr-style.jpg
I’m actually writing code for *both* options *right now*, and after some back and forth with @francescolaffi we’ll probably get it set up as an option in the administrator backend.
We could probably add the ability for users to manually crop the thumbnail for each picture in their gallery using the avatar cropping tool, and I will look at the feasibility of doing this. Experience has shown that most users do *not* want to do this for every picture they upload …and that’s why neither Facebook nor Flickr include this functionality.
