4.7.4 Gallery Recurring Error

[SMen]

I read a similar post regarding an error on older images and a null, however, there was no follow-up on that report.  I have hundreds of categories and albums and tens of thousands of images.  This has been a recent recurring error in seemingly older images, affecting a few in a category or album, but not all.

I am not competent at reading what the error is trying to tell me.  Perhaps it is a setting I can adjust to correct, or is it something that requires further investigation?

Thank you for any help....

I've had the very same error trace also with some old images last week or so.  It turned out that a column contained the string null instead of being null.  I've no idea what caused it but our forum was upgraded from v2 to v4 back in 2019, I assumed something went wrong but maybe the latest version is using the "image_metadata" in a different way.

This sql will identify if its the same issue, it return 187 records in my case: SELECT * FROM `gallery_images` where image_metadata='null';

The fix in my case was to update them to null.

THANK YOU!

1406 found for me.  Updated all and error seems to be resolved.

Your welcome.

Not just me then, I wonder what caused it.

Did it fix your other error, stepping through images?

No, I checked right away... but that seems to be a different issue.

Ok, pity.  We will leave that one for the experts.
