Gallery 2.1 RC 2 Feedback Topic

Again about UTF-8. May be it's already fixed (as it said above) but I installed fresh RC-2a to mysql base with latin_swedish1 by default.

All tables became UTF-8, but those TWO:
_SequenceId
_SequenceLock were latin1! I changed all database to UTF-8, and run installer againg with empting all my tables.

Downloaded ANOTHER fresh copy of the zip, uploaded the class...same thing. I have been down this road a half dozen times. I mean I was able to do the upgrade with my work around, which should work for others.

I'm just trying to help out as best I can. I wish i had more time to debug.

haha, yeah, got that one already. I'm done with this topic, I got it working, I will live with it until for the time being. I was trying to help others with the same problem since no one else offered a viable workaround or solution. As I stated before, the FAQ is good, but is not the ultimate answer.

Just to throw a link back, according to the installation requirements there is no mention of a specific version of zend optimizer. http://codex.gallery2.org/index.php/Gallery2:Installation_Requirements

I still love my G2 for now, I really do appreciate the help. I have been a gallery user for the last 4+ years and reccommend it to everyone. So no hard feelings if I balk ot some of the responses I get.

On a side note about upgrading zend optimizer, if you have a good host, they will do it, but not until they ensure it wont cause problems for other users. If you are requesting it, especially for a RC they will probably be hesitant to do it. My host has already offered to do it once they ensure that there are no negative side effects, but there will always be the constant remarks of developers saying it's the user or their host, then the host says it's the software/developers.

Fixed in CVS, thanks! (relativeRequireOnce->requireOnce)

Just two little things

* When viewing a non-image (such as ppt or swf) the link to "full size" does not display size, but rather
%dx% or 0x0 etc.
BTW, should the inbuilt player for wmv work, or is that broken? It shows the player, but the video doesn't play. If clicking the "full size" link, then it plays. Is there any way to go straight to full size popup window if the inbuilt player doesn't work?

* When manipulating anything in an album (add items, edit album etc), the "return to album" link then disappears.

Anyone having troubles with the image voting module?

Mine seems to be inconsistantly ava (still on 2.1 RC-1b), but I don't recall that module changing recently either.

Problem: I have nested albums and want voting on all sub-albums. Permisions allow everyone to vote, and voting is enabled on the parent album and set to apply for sub-albums. Making this change does not turn on voting for all albums under the parent. Adding a new album does not inherit the sub-album setting.

An album can have the proper permissions, the voting option enabled, and still not activate the voting module?!? When I log in as an administrator, the voting options appear, but as a guest (even with "everyone" permissions) the module is disabled.

Anyone else experiencing this?

I'll kick myself now! So many times before, when I had spotted something, I had posted on the wpg2 or vslider theme support pages, and I was getting the idea that these things didn't manipulate the data, just displayed it in a different way.
However, when I change the theme to matrix, the "fullsize" link stops being a link, and says a word instead of a number. I'll go and tell 'em! But swf doesn't show the movie, you can only hear the sound in any theme. I'll download last night's build and try again.

please post swf related issues to the support forums. it's not a real issue, just your settings. thanks.

bruma

something with your setup. cannot be generalized to g2.1.
suggestions: install g2 but without any modules (skip the module step in the installer).
please create a new forum topic in the support forum and reply there.
thanks

wschmidt, SiteAdmin url in admin email is fixed in CVS. thanks!

Don't know if this is a problem with G2, but it definately is with G2.1-rc2a.

Enabling Watermarking for hotlinks installs faulty mod_rewrite code when used with URL Rewrite turned on for downloads:

      RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} view=core.DownloadItem
      RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} itemId=([0-9]+)
        RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !://photos.jjminer.org/ [NC]
        RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$
      RewriteRule .   /g2/main.php?g2_view=watermark.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=%1   [L]

Changing it to:

    RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} \ /g2/d/([0-9]+)-([0-9]+)/([^\/\?]+)(\?.|\ .)
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !/g2/main\.php$
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !://photos.jjminer.org/ [NC]
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$
    RewriteRule .   /g2/main.php?g2_view=watermark.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=%1&g2_serialNumber=%2&g2_fileNa
me=%3   [L]

Fixes it.

There's probably a "better way", but I don't know that much about mod_rewrite. I presume that moving it below the line that handles the URL Rewriting:

    RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} \ /g2/d/([0-9]+)-([0-9]+)/([^\/\?]+)(\?.|\ .)
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !/g2/main\.php$
    RewriteRule .   /g2/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=%1&g2_serialNumber=%2&g2_fileName=%3
   [QSA,L]

Would somehow fix it, but it's not quite that simple. The mod_rewrite documentation leads me to think that the "L" ("Last Rule") is incorrect, but like I said, I don't konw that much about mod_rewrite.

jon

that's what it does right now. there's a corresponding feature request on the http://gallery.menalto.com/sfvote/all page. please don't discuss such things here. this thread is meant for reporting RC2 bugs / issues. thanks.

I've just upgraded my gallery from version 2.0.2.
Everything is ok, but all multibyte characters become unrecognizable.
The database may be ok, because it is correct when I recovered everything.
What problem is it??

(Uh oh, Feature Request..)

One more thing occurs to me.. The "Watermark Hotlinks" should probably have an option to say "Watermark Direct Links" so that even if someone bookmarks a file (HTTP_REFERER is null) it will be watermarked.

thanks for the feedback, I've informed thumb, the author and maintainer of the floatrix module.

miner:

@RFE: If you look at the Setup tab you'll notice a checkbox that allows you to make empty referers non-friendly (it's checked by default).

@[L]: Last rule is correct, it means that mod_rewrite stops processing any rewriting at this point (but!) the new URL triggers a subrequest which mod_rewrite parses once more. This is useful because we don't want to watermark only short style URLs (/d/...) but all (main.php?... too). Hence the rewrite rule is checking the querystring - not the URL.

@RewriteRule: Can you please elaborate on how to reproduce. As far as I've tested there's nothing wrong with it.

please open a topic in the support forums, that's not a rc 2 bug / issue. just a support questions. thanks.

Attempting to install 2.1 RC2a and the latest nightly build. Keep getting a variety of install problems. With the nightly build, I can successfully make it to Step 9 of the install before I get the following error:
Fatal error: Call to undefined method GalleryUser::resetOriginalValues() in /var/www/other/lintburger/gallery2/modules/core/classes/GalleryStorage/GalleryStorageExtras.class on line 210

These call to "undefined method" errors have been plaguing me. I was successfully running 2.1rc1 and then out of nowhere they system started producing undefined method errors of one strip or another depending on which page I was trying to access.

I decided a clean install was the best medicine, so I opted for rc2 and the latest nightly build.

Running under apache 2.055, php5.0.5-pl5-gentoo, mysql 5.018 on a gentoo linux (2.6.14) server, brand new hardware.

Any ideas?

Hello all,

here are my issues:

1.) Besides having created the database with UTF8 an choosing german as language, I cannot name an Album f.e "Lübeck". Gallery tells me that my name contains invalid characters. Which obviously is the "ü" this time

2.) I got three times a database lock timeout. First when I changed the properties of the classic theme (could not reproduce this error), a second time when I deleted an previously via "Gallery Webserver" imported album with lots of subalbums and short of 1000 images. The locktimeout upon deletion is reproducable.

Here is the error message I got:

Error

An error has occurred.

In fact, Database is postres 8.1.3 and despite this message, deletion is accomplished. Maybe I should be fair to say that this hardware is an rather old Dual PII-350 with 512MB Ram. But hey, it's just me and very few freinds accessing it and it imported the images and created the thumbnails perfectly, so deleting should not be the problem.

Okay problem here. I had Gallery 2.0 working here, but i cleaned out everything and installed 2..1-rc2a. But when you go to a old link you get:

Error

When I upgraded to 2.1 from 2.0.4, I apparently had two modules that weren't compatible (geturls and updates). The problem was that I foolishly didn't backup my old gallery2 directory. This meant I couldn't revert to an older version and I couldn't go forward.

My suggestion would be that the upgrader allow the user two options when this situation arises:
1) revert back to previous version fully. This means that the next time the user access the gallery, there is no upgrade page
2) disable the modules and continue the installation.

I just tried to upgrade to version 2.1 and discovered that postgresql 7.x is no longer supported - or it might just be a miss by the team

Anyhow this is what I get:
<pre>
Error (ERROR_STORAGE_FAILURE) : Error trying to run query: ALTER TABLE g2_AccessMap ADD COLUMN g_userOrGroupId INTEGER DEFAULT '0'

in upgrade/index.php at line 221 (upgradecoremodulestep::processrequest)
</pre>

I tried it without the "default 0" on the psql commandline and that seems to work. So the solution is - as I see it - to split this one query into two. The first adds the column and the second adds the default stuff.

Keep up the good work - cant wait for the remote support so I can get digiKam up and running again

No reason for this to be sticky anymore!
