Custom Fields Module for Gallery3

I have it installed, works great! Thank you

HarryF, I have the same problem. I think I´ve got found the error.
You must change "g-custom-fields-form-hidden" for "g-search-form" at the end of the file js/search_form.js
Something like that:

// Submit search form after hacking values into it
function custom_fields_paging(page)
{
  newPageInput = '<input name="page" value="' + page + '" type="hidden"/>';
  $("#g-search-form").append(newPageInput);
  $("#g-search-form").submit();
  return false;
}

This module is working wonderfully, thank you for its development. I am fairly new and very limited with programming but have managed to create a manageable gallery for a non-profit. There are only two titles I would like to customize: 1) The title "Custom Data" on the side block 2) "Custom Fields Input" in the search form, this would be best to state: For inclusive search combinations. I have searched throughout the Custom Fields directory to no avail and this is not something to be found in the Administrative end. Where exactly can I change this? Your assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hello -

I installed this mod, then at the top there was a message:

The Custom Fields module has an advanced Search replacement for the default Search module. Deactivate the Search module now.

Well, I didn't know which search would be deactiviated. The default? the custom field search?

Rather than track down the answer, I decided to deactivate the mod itself and come back to it later.

So now I can't get rid of the message! I've reactivated, deactivated the module several times, and eventually went as far as deleting the folder containing the mod, yet the message is still there.

It already created a huge index upon the first install, so no doubt the contents of that index is somewhere, either in the database or the file system.

How do I get rid of this module and all the stuff it has left behind?

Thanks,
bw

WOW! It worked - from English to English! Thank YOU DAVE! That is a really awesome tool!

Love the module. Any way to display 'custom fields' in the photo view?

Where is the download link?

Thanks a bunch Floridave, how come it ended up broken after so long?

Hi,

I don't see the code for this module in here http://codex.gallery2.org/Gallery3:Modules:custom_fields

Am I doing something wrong?
I need the code, since I need this functionality to my album page.

Thanks,
Jordi.

Thanks,

I didn't see the link. Sorry.

Jordi.

I figured out the problem with the search results it was the short search fix module that was screwing things up.

On another note, does anyone know how to automatically hard code the search query variable for the custom_fields module?

I know how to do it for the regular search: http://gallery.menalto.com/node/107568 but since I am a newbie to PHP, I'm not sure how to do it in the custom_fields module...basically I want to do exactly what they have in that aforementioned thread, put a "+" automatically on the backend on the front of each term in the search query so that all searches such as hotel lobby will be automatically +hotel +lobby without the user having to put in the + and without them seeing it.

The default tmp dir on linux is: /tmp

it is also very much writable, and has plenty of space.

Joe7rocks,

Yep, the only thing I'll change is whether that module is enabled or not. With it on, I get the size error, regardless of the size. With it off, they upload fine, and then I can turn the module back on, edit the photo, and add the custom fields. Also, if I upload using the server-add module and then manually edit the photos it works fine, but that should also be unrelated. the Chrome dev tool shows a 400 Error being returned by the server, but what little is suggested in the documentation does not help. There is nothing in /gallery3/var/logs, nor in the apache error.log/access.log. I can screen capture/dump anything you want to help.

Is your Gallery accessible online?
would like to see this happen

Joe7rocks,

FYI, I sent you another PM with the updated info. Let me know what else you need!

Thanks

sweet, I'll give it a look! Thanks for your help.

@joerocks: Thanks for the work on the module. Great concept and works as intended.

A few thoughts (especially since you're already in the process of reworking the module):

- (1) It would be great if the user (Gallery owner) has the option of deciding whether or not to use the module's search in place of Gallery's. I couldn't find a way to easily disable the module's search. (I see the option to have fields be searchable or non-searchable, but couldn't find a way to basically say 'I'm satisfied with Gallery's search as it is without custom_fields playing any role whatsoever.')

- (2) Related to #1 (but not really), I've seen a couple of posts from people about using the short_search_fix module with the custom_fields module. The two don't interface and that is an issue for a small subset of users. I initially thought that playing with the module order would help, but that didn't do it for my testing. Is there a way that custom_fields can append itself to the default search instead of replacing it outright? Is there some other solution that comes to mind? (I don't really know much about module development, so not sure i can offer any real guidance here; there may be a much easier way to address this.) Sample thread: http://galleryproject.org/node/111210

- (3) The main promise that I see for the module is the ability to pull information directly into any place the page. For that to happen, there has to be a call of some sort. For me, I'd look through the database and try to pull the field id to add to a db query--but that's likely a bit much for the average user. Is it possible to add a field ID number to the admin interface so that you could more easily see what code/query will return the results of that field for an item? (In a super ideal world, I'd be able to do something like %custom_field_title_4% to pull the title/name of custom field #4 and something like %custom_field_4-8% to pull the field content of, say, custom field #4 for gallery item #8.)

I'm not sure that any of this is clear. Let me know if you don't get what I'm saying.

For some reason this has been harder to install than other mods. I finally have it in and mostly working. The parts that work are great. My problem is when viewing a picture instead of having one entry in the side menu it has 10. Any ideas what would cause that? The problem is there both with my theme and the default one.

Problem solved by removing everything from the sidebar, then putting them back in place. Now it works. Great mod even if it does take 2 hours to get working. It is well worth it :P

Very convenient module!
Is there a way to hide some fields (like the email-adress or phone number of the photographer) from the beholders?

tempg: sorry man, missed your message back then.
If you are still interested, please give me a shout, would need more info from you to elaborate on that

Exactly, some of the custom fields should be visible only for admin users or special user group (maybe 'editors').

Hello,
I once tested and found that I do not need it the module. I have it disabled in the admin section and deleted via FTP. In the database, but are still tables available, I had to manually delete.
Is this normal or tables can also be deleted when disable?

Are these the associated tables or are there more?

custom_fields_freetext_map
custom_fields_freetext_multilang
custom_fields_properties
custom_fields_properties_multilang
custom_fields_records
custom_fields_selection
custom_fields_selection_map
custom_fields_selection_multilang

In the table modules, the module is registered even after delete in FTP.
