I saw another report about this, but that was resolved a while ago and closed out. I looked at my copy of the module (downloaded HEAD yesterday) and the code is substantially different from that in the other issue, so I'm assuming my issue has another cause.

Drupal 5, Apache 1.3.37, PHP 5.1.2 MySQL 4.1.16

1. Installed fresh copy of Drupal 5.0 a few days ago.
2. Installed category (v5), filemanager (HEAD) and Video (HEAD). Ran update.php after each of these just in case (noting recommendation in other issue) and found no problems.
3. Installed Acidfree HEAD.
4. Ran update.php and installed update 4.
5. Created album, and no drop downs existed for Parent -- could not create this content.
6. Removed Acidfree completely.
7. Installed again, ran update.php, installed 3 and then 4.
8. Repeated step 5, same result.

I suspect I could hack around this issue by creating a page w/ PHP input type, but I'm not sure what code would be required.

Until another fix or patch is offered, can anyone help me work around this problem

Bumping, in part due to the relative lack of integrated gallery modules for Drupal 5.x.

OK I've gone through a few cycles of rebuilding my site from scratch using Drupal 5.1 and Acidfree HEAD, with no success. This cripples Acidfree's ability to create albums.

Drupal 5.1, Apache 1.3.37, PHP 5.1.2, MySQL 4.1.16

I carefully followed the suggested steps in this issue, and nothing surfaced until trying to run the Acidfree updates through Drupal's update.php.

http://drupal.org/node/111991

1. Upgrade core as instructed in the documentation.
2. Create a filemanager.info file for the HEAD revision of filemanager.
3. Enable the following non-core modules:
- Views
- Image
4. Run update.php and correct any errors found
5. Enable the following non-core modules:
- Video
- Video Image
- Video Upload
6. Run update.php and correct any errors found
7. Enable the following non-core module:
- Filemanager
8. (Might not need this, but just to be sure) Run update.php and correct any errors found
9. Enable the Acidfree module
10. Run update.php and... Select Version 3 for Acidfree
11. Run update.php and... Select Version 4 for Acidfree
12. Check everything is working as it should.

Upon running Acidfree update #3, I get:

user warning: Table 'drupal5_acidfree_album' already exists query: CREATE TABLE drupal5_acidfree_album (aid INT(11) NOT NULL auto_increment, tid int(11) NOT NULL default '0', thumb INT(11) NOT NULL default '0', share INT(1) NOT NULL default '0', order_by VARCHAR(32) NOT NULL default 'n.nid DESC', view varchar(32) NOT NULL default 'grid', PRIMARY KEY (aid)) type=MyISAM /*!40100 DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8 */; in /home/examplepath/examplesite.com/includes/database.mysql.inc on line 172

Upon running Acidfree update #4, I get:

The following queries were executed
acidfree module
Update #4

    * No queries

This is pretty old. Does it work on the current Acidfree?
