Hello,

I have started my attempt at integrating gallery with phpbb2. I have a couple of issues up to this point. I have tried creating a symlink from the modules folder to the gallery folder, and it appears to have worked, as the modules folder contains a 'gallery' folder.

However, here are the two issues. First, I have very odd looking characters now on my forum: ( Ê ... whatever that is)

http://groovyadventures.com/community/index.php

Second, when attempting to click on the gallery link, (image is broken still...) I get the following:


Warning:  fopen("header.php","r") - No such file or directory in /usr/local/www/vhosts/groovyadventures.com/htdocs/gallery/html_wrap/wrapper.header on line 26
 
 Fatal error:  Call to undefined function:  opentable() in /usr/local/www/vhosts/groovyadventures.com/htdocs/gallery/html_wrap/wrapper.header on line 58


Any ideas on where I begin? Thank you so very much!!!

how did you patch the phpbb files? by hand? the E characters are in ther html source so someone must have put them there.

@error: seems as if you didn't do a clean installation of the phpbb modification/syndication.
again: what were your steps?

Thanks for the reply :)

I patched the phpbb files manually. I am looking to find the E characters in the template right now.

I did not do a fresh installation of phpbb. Will I be able to reinstall the board and import the old data? I don't want to lose the data to this point.

I believe I might also be using the wrong command to create a symlink. This is what I thought it was:

ln -s /usr/local/www/vhosts/groovyadventures.com/htdocs/community/modules /usr/local/www/vhosts/groovyadventures.com/htdocs/gallery/index.php

I am going to try a clean install of phpbb. :)

Also, not to make matters more confusing, but I assume its possible for gallery & phpbb to also share with geeklog yes? I noticed that you couldn't select phpbb & geeklog compatibility at the same time...

Thanks again for the help!

Hey there people,

In addition to this story above here i have to admit i don't even know how to make this "link" file in the modules folder of Phpbb2.

My phpbb2 is in my root folder, but so is the gallery. Still i want to integrate both.

Could anyone explain to me how this is done?

I have installed a fresh install of phpbb2 to no avail. Now the problem shows this:

http://groovyadventures.com/phpbb2/modules.php?op=modload&name=gallery&file=index&sid=52637c6c13d3c8494755c26899394022

Is the only way to get it working by installing gallery in the /modules folder? I don't want to move gallery from where it's at as it would disrupt so many indexed galleries in google.

Any idears?

Thanks!

Mark, you have to make a symlink via the command line to make that link. From what I can find it would be something like this:

ln -s /usr/../../phpbb2/modules /usr/local/../../gallery/index.php

I am having the same error come up and I know it has something to do with the link but I can't figure it out.

my guess is that your symlink is wrong.
make it link to the directory, not to the index.php file.
i.e.
ln -s /usr/local/www/vhosts/groovyadventures.com/htdocs/phpbb/modules/gallery /usr/local/www/vhosts/groovyadventures.com/htdocs/gallery

but i didn't install the phpbb/gallery mod and the readme is not very clear on this point. maybe you should pm the author of the phpbb mod who is AFAIK Tim_J.

edit: corrected the softlink

Hello,

i am open for suggestions.

Its true that the Link be point to the Gallery DIR, not index.php.

Tim_j, in the sticky topic for phpbb is module.php mod posted that allows a non phpbb/modules/gallery installation without symlinks.
