I have tried to duplicate the Matrix theme so I can customize it for a new site look I have launching next week.

The existing one is here: http://www.black-sabbath.com/gallery_2/main.php

I know how to do this, as I had a look around the Codex, and found the instructions. Followed them, and the new theme shows up in the plugins page. However, there's no options to install it. Or ANY OTHER plugin on that page, for that matter. No idea why this is. Looking for some help in this regard. Probably something simple I'm overlooking, but I don't know where to go to look. Tkx for any help.


Gallery version (not just "2"): 2.313
PHP version (e.g. 5.1.6): 5.2.10
PHPInfo Link (see FAQ):
Webserver (e.g. Apache 1.3.33): Apache 2.2.3
Database (e.g. MySql 5.0.32): MySQL 5.0.77
Activated toolkits (e.g. NetPbm, GD): NetPBM, GD
Operating system (e.g. Linux): Linux
Browser (e.g. Firefox 2.0): Chrome (whatever current is)

I tried it on IE9, Firefox, and Chrome. All are the same, but I'll try that and see what turns up.

Ran it, and it threw a ton of errors. Most of them say this:

updatePluginState is not defined

There's also

updateStateCounts is not defined
YAHOO is not defined

Let me know if there's anything specific you're looking for there. Have never used this before, so I'm unclear exactly what you want to see beyond this.

OK, I'll look through that.

But I wouldn't know it was a Javascript compression error, I was posting here looking for help.

sorry, it was a common error. but I never had it personally so i don't remember the fix.
There were many discussions - most linked a particular fix(by floridave) if memory serves me.

Yeah, I'm poking through - will have to look after dinner, I'm being called away from the computer at the moment. haha. :)

This worked:

add this line to .htaccess in gallery directory:

php_flag zlib.output_compression off
