Hello again,

I'm in the process of setting up S3 to offload my avatars, photos and attachments. I got my Access and Secret ID input just fine, but I have no idea what to insert for the Bucket Path? I tried creating a Bucket called 'Offload' then inserting that name as the Bucket Path within EasySocial. AWS states that that Bucket is empty. I can upload to my bucket manually but it won't find anything from my install of EasySocial.

I don't know if this may be the problem or another problem but with the Secure Cronjob manager set up, I get the following message:

Hello Sean,

Can you give this a try again? Not too sure what happened earlier but all the photos wasn't uploaded to Amazon due to some errors but after clearing the logs and tried to resynchronize it, it seems to work fine. By the way, after synchronizing to Amazon S3, it's not possible to pull these items back to the local server currently

Thanks Mark...but there is still a pretty big issue.

I noticed that using S3 only uploaded the images from my Admin account. It failed to upload the images of another user. Also, I uploaded another photo as my Admin account about 10 hours ago, ran the secure cron job and it still hasn't moved that image to Amazon yet or any other photos since the first time it worked. Any ideas?

This is the message that the Cron Job screen shows me:

[{"status":"200","contents":"Emails dispatched successfully","time":"2014-03-25 16:42:23"},{"status":"200","contents":"No photos to upload to Amazon S3 right now.","time":"2014-03-25 16:42:23"},{"status":"200","contents":"No avatars to upload to Amazon S3 right now.","time":"2014-03-25 16:42:23"},{"status":"200","contents":"Nothing to process for files","time":"2014-03-25 16:42:23"}]

No worries, Mark.

This issue just has be stumped.

Also, in upcoming versions, will we be able send blog images to S3 with EasyBlog?

And, will we be able to move those images back to local hosting if we decide we don't want to use Amazon with both EasyBlog and EasySocial??

Indeed looks to be working as intended now, Mark. Thank you for your hard work! Continuing to blow all other customer service out of the water!

Though, were the errors due to something of my fault or was it something to be fixed in the software itself?

What logs did you clear and how did you re-synchronize? I just like to know so I can jot down fixes in case they arise again at a later date.

Hello Sean,

To be honest I have no idea actually The logs are actually not visible to you because we just kept the logs table so that when any of the photos failed to synchronize to Amazon, we do not try to re-synchronize them again (To avoid getting into a viscous loop where it keeps trying to upload a failed photo).
