PhotoStation - Version 3.7.1 : Sharing feature not working !

[Alpicus]

Hi,

I'm using Photostation and noticed that the sharing feature for a single picture is not working with Internet Explorer 9

According to the page source (As you can see in the code below), It seems that Facebook, Twitter, Google could be available but are not displayed correctly. If you look at the attachement, when the page is loaded, the word "Tweet" is displayed then hidden. Have you the same behavior ?

Thanks for your feedback.

Phil

Try running in Compatibility mode, or use a different browser. I believe this is a IE issue rather than a QNAP one. I believe that presently only members of the "administrators" group can share URL's anyway, so it isn't exactly a universal feature anyway, but still irritating.

Hi Patrick,

Thanks for your reply.

Same behavior with IE 9 in Compatibility mode and Google Chrome 20.0 with login as admin or without

Hope this will be fixed asap.

How to send a bug/issue to QNAP ?

Dear Phil,

I've had *exactly* the same issue - particularly, though, I noticed that this was *only* happening when browsing through private galleries. For instance, if I go through my publicly shared folders, the google+/ twitter/ facebook menu bar appears under each picture without problem; it's only the private ones that seem to cause issues.

And yes, I did notice that the html code for the sharing feature was in place on any private pages. I had also tried compatibility mode and looked at this in few browsers, but got the same behaviour in all (IE9, Firefox 14, Safari 5, Chrome 20). This is a particular problem for me, as I run photostation over secure http. I believe that the sharing feature causes an "insecure content" error message in all browsers, though at the moment I can't see how to fix this problem.

I can understand this behaviour to a degree, if it *just* limited to private folders - I can see why you might not want to include the potential for publicly sharing a file that has been marked as private, but I get the impression that you see this in all instances, not just for private folders.

Could you confirm that your behaviour is identical to this? I'd be grateful if you could let me know, as I'm beginning to wonder if there isn't some script in the photostation web pages that verifies credentials, and it might be this that causes this (and a list of other credential related) problems.

The QNAP support page is at:

http://www.qnap.com/en/index.php?lang=en&sn=4574

Whilst I have already raised this as an issue with QNAP, it would probably be a good idea to lend further support to this problem.

Cheers,

Hi Mark,

Thanks for your reply.

I have this problem on every connection : public, private, HTTP and HTTPS.

I will send it to the support too.

Hope this will be resolved asap.

Hi Phil,

I know it is not a lot, but I've at least got QNAP support to acknowledge that there is a problem, and that it has been flagged for attention (at some future, unspecified date).

Whilst I can tell you that the same issue exists in firmware 3.7.2, just in case you were wondering if this update would solve your problem, perhaps in the next minor revision...

As I say - not a lot, but at least it has been acknowledged.

Will keep poking myself and let you know if I get anywhere.

All the best for now,
Mark.

Thanks for your reply,

I could work around and resolve this by moving all the folders from Public to another place in Multimedia folder then move back to Public using the Web File Manager. Before I was using only Windows Explorer to manage my folders therefore this could be a part of answer. I send this case and resolution to QNAP Support.

Cheers,

Phil

I've upgraded to 3.7.2 for x86 on my 459 Pro, but the photostation has stopped working and showing my public listed albums. is this related?

all my photos are not in Public, but under Multimedia folder which worked fine until the upgrade.
