Hi Folks,

i am running PN .726 and Gallery v1.4.2-RC1. I downloaded the latest random block from joerg's site.
When i choose the block in the blocks menu i cant select an album, it always says "no special albums".
At the place on my site where the block should appear i only see this error message:

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /xx/xxxx/xxxx/xxxx/xxxxxx/modules/Gallery/pnblocks/gallery_random.php on line 532

(i replaced my path with x's ;) )
Can annyone help?

thx in advance
alex

Hi Alex,

did you set any special rights on the albums? Normaly only albums with read access for everyone are ready to choose.

Hi Joerg,

the permissions on the albums dir are 777 and on the albums are 775 .
Is it a problem the the albums dir is within the gallery dir? I read on nukedgallery that it has to be outside the modules dir.

thx in advance

Hi alex,

I meant gallery-permissions not filesystem permissions. Do you have any permissions set or has everyone the right to browse the albums you want to show pictures from in the random block? This is essential, only albums which are readable for everyone could be displayed from the block.

My albums dir is outside the modules dir. I've no experience with album dirs inside the gallery dir.

Hi Joerg,

ok that was a misunderstanding. I found the problem. I tested it with an albums directory directly in the webroot. It works now.
It seems that the block has difficulties to find the albums if they ara under the "Gallery".
Thx for the hint.

regards
alex

Using the latest version of the PN Block......I get this:

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/xxxxx/public_html/postnuke/modules/gallery/pnblocks/gallery_random.php on line 532

I dunno....I always get this error when I install a new version and I always forget what I do to fix it......grrrrr.

No special permissions on anything concerning Gallery in PostNuke.

albums dir = /public_html/Albums - 777 (775 for album dirs inside)
gallery dir = /public_html/postnuke/modules/gallery
