Drupal + G2

Just a thought... This thread is nearly a year old and the title doesn't even fit the new posts being added as most people are on 4.6 and 4.7 is just around the corner. Rather than adding onto this old thread, why not start new ones for your questions so they can be seen more easily?

I have installed the most current versions of both G2 and Drupal and I have read many of the posts about common issues. However, I am getting an error when clicking on the random photo block. It redirects me to an "error 500: Internal Server Error"

Any ideas?

Thanks!

swiders2: Please post a copy of the link that is attempted for the Random Block (go into View->Source or equivalent and post the link.)

titus14: The 2 errors are related. The first one is just trying to add some info into the watchdog (so that you can see it when you look in /admin), but watchdog seems to have thrown up an error (this is a gallery.module issue that I will look at ). The second one is the real error. This error means that Gallery was initialised (ie it was found and the login appeared to work) but for some reason the image block data was not returned. First thing to check: if you enable the imageblock in non-embedded Gallery2, does it work?

oh ok thanks lot.
my imageblock in gallery2 dont seem to be showing do u know what could be e reason

ok now finally my imageblock seem to be working after i re-installed both drupal and gallery but it show me a new error after i enable the gallery block in drupal

THanks kiz:

Although I'm not sure what you mean? Can't you just view the source of the link yourself? Sorry, I'm still new to Drupal/Gallery.

oh i think that is because i keep re-installing drupal and gallery.

ya now my image block is working fine in gallery2.

no i am using a localhost in my own network to do the work.

http://galery.menalto.com (click screenshots)

Pardon me for being dense, but the screenshots are just G2. I didn't see any Drupal integrations... or did I miss a big picture somewhere (pun intended).

I've seen some Wordpress and Mambo/Joomla integrations.... but I haven't been able to find any Drupal integrations.

Looks like GalleryEmbedApi has changed. So Drupal integration does
not work with cvs version of G2 (Gallery 2.1) anymore.

Is there a modified gallery.module?
Is anybody currently working on it?

You need to change the gallery theme. It looks like you are using the matrix theme which unmodified isn't very suitable to be an embedded theme. The big gap is the spot where the sidebar goes. I would edit the theme to take out the table for the sidebar. I would also remove the gallery logo, the gallery breadcrumb (or at least make it smaller). On the drupal side I would activate some other modules so you can check out how that looks. To me it looks like the Drupal breadcrumb and the title are too big and have too much padding. If you need me to get more specific on which files you should edit let me know.

First off in the gallery2/themes/matrix/templates create a folder called local and copy theme.tpl there. Then edit the file and remove the following lines.

      <div id="gsHeader">
        <img src="{g->url href="images/galleryLogo_sm.gif"}" width="107" height="48" alt=""/>
      </div>

      <div id="gsNavBar" class="gcBorder1">
        <div class="gbSystemLinks">
          {g->block type="core.SystemLinks"
		    order="core.SiteAdmin core.YourAccount core.Login core.Logout"
		    othersAt=4}
        </div>

        <div class="gbBreadCrumb">
          {g->block type="core.BreadCrumb"}
        </div>
      </div>

You might want to move the system links somewhere else so you can login to g2.

Then copy album.tpl and photo.tpl to the local folder and remove the following.

   {if !empty($theme.params.sidebarBlocks)}
    <td id="gsSidebarCol">
      {g->theme include="sidebar.tpl"}
    </td>

Doing this will remove all the stuff I said. As to getting logged into drupal I would do a search on drupal.org. I'm sure there is still a way to login. I guess I need to find out because on my site I don't need or want people to comment so I want to turn that off as well.

drupal version : 4.6.5

hi i have problem intergrating both drupal and gallery together. when i put the gallery.module into the module folder of drupal the following errors is show:

Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in e:\imageforte\modules\gallery.module on line 457

u can take a look at the errors at:

can anyone help?

Hi kiz,
I will not lazy to write everything in the third time, but I will very appreciate if you can implement some (many, all) functionality in the new module.

1. make "my album" link in the navigation menu to /user/album with (not blocked)
2. place "my album" link in profile with username like "Continental's Album"
3. place a list of (root) albums of the user on profile page, of the whole tree
4. place some statistics like "Continental have X albums and Y photos"
5. Integrate Quotas Module and show to user (only!) how many space used/left/total
6. make if possible to GO from /gallery/ to /user/ page within current user.
7. make a new statistic block counting gallery photos/albums e.t.c
8. if possible, show "Owner" with active link towards profile or userRootAlbum.
9. make dhtml menu block showing only User Albums (not sure, if it gallery.module)

I adore your the people's work on this module, I currently I'm running live site with ~300 users and, ~150 user's albums and much more photos, but it need to be improved! Thank you for reading this.

Any news on module that would work with 2.1 (official release at this point) and Drupal 4.7 (Beta 6) as of right now and is likely to be the last one before official 4.7?

Seems that Gallery's official releases come out more often than drupal's. And considering the amount of code changed in Gallery, the integration is lagging behind. So i wonder if anyone is actively working on G2.1 & Drupal4.7 integration at all?

Gallery2.1 with Drupal 4.7 (cvs) committed to Drupal CVS HEAD. Please let me know of any issues and provide any relevant patches to this version. Note that the gallery-cvs.tar.gz (from http://drupal.org/project/Modules/cvs/) will be regenerated automatically later today. In the meantime you will need to go to the Drupal CVS to download.

Features:
- Compatible with Gallery2.1 and Drupal 4.7 (ONLY!)
- Autoconfiguration of settings (only 1 parameter is needed) with checking
- Drupal Role & Gallery2.1 Group support (with automatic sync)
- Improved user information (can check Drupal-G2 sync status) with Full-Name support (via profile.module)
- Improved URL rewrite - any rule can now be used, not just the view rule.
- Can change number of images in sidebar and they can be different types
- Can add photo frames and link target
- Support for Gallery2 Navigation menu in sidebar (including Album Select)
- Adds breadcrumb
- Adds css file to improve default Gallery2.1 Matrix theme for embed.
- Improved search, with thumbnails and paging
- Includes g2_filter functions
- Includes support for g2image ( http://g2image.steffensenfamily.com/ ) both Standalone and with TinyMCE

That would be a cool feature, but the integration is limited by what Gallery2.1's ImageBlock module will do. Unfortunately this is not an available feature in it. See http://gallery.menalto.com/node/43625

I could not find a feature request for it, so maybe you could add one and let people vote on it.

A new forum dedicated to Drupal embedded Gallery2 has been set up by those nice folks at http://www.galleryembedded.com. Go to http://www.galleryembedded.com/forums/index.php

Please use this to post issues & comments on the gallery.module.

This functionality is already available for Drupal 4.7/G2.1. Check out the g2Image info in the latest gallery.module CVS code.

You can use G2 and post images on other forums. You just got to get the right link. I don't know of a way to integrate G1 to drupal, but I might be wrong about that.

gallery.module is all well and good . I have my gallery2 and drupal intergrated fine , however there are limits to its use. It does not at all handle well the posting of pictures into nodes. A far better solution is the bbcode module with the Quick tags module which inserts pics without issue. I use the g2image chooser never now. To many bugs - it will not layout correctly , it will not place anything but thumbs without hacking the code ( ugh , shades of the phpbb approach but good news for the hack kids)
Gallery2 writers passed on their work on BBCode to the Drupal team . Gallery2 handles BBcode pretty well where I use it . In the description field of an album you can hit the url button and it steps you through the insertion of an url and the text you want to use to display. Very very kewl and easy for users . Was this functionality passed on to Drupal and if so , can anyone lead me to the module in drupal that implements it . Quick tags which is a wordpress port is okay and can be developed , but I love the way Gallery2 handles the insertion of urls and images initiated by that click of the button in the formatting bar.

Drupal with Gallery2 is the absolute greatest . Forums with taxonomy and categories absolutely walks over the phpbb type approaches. Sincere gratitude and appreciation and respect for the developers of these two exceptional bodies of work. Thanks

I was running gallery2 with Drupal 4.7 here http://skatopia.net/ - everything was fine. Lately when you click on one of the random images you get the error message.

Safari can’t open the page “http://skatopia.net/v/current-skatopia-sessions/Dale-Arden/album52/DSC_0030.jpg.html”. The error was: “lost network connection” (NSURLErrorDomain:-1005) Please choose Report Bug to Apple from the Safari menu, note the error number, and describe what you did before you saw this message.

This happenes on both IE and Safari.
