link album planned?

linkitem module is now in BRANCH_API_DEV CVS, scheduled for merge into CVS HEAD tomorrow.. so you should see the linkitem module in nightly snapshots in a few days.

the next nightly snapshot includes the linkitem module. no need to use the one from the forums.
the one that is included is compatible.

downloaded latest nightly, and when u select link photo, u can only view link to album inside g2, not external link! or do u put external link somewhere else?

OK it works nice now but got one problem, when i try to edit link url, i get following error:

Edit Conflict!

Your change cannot be completed because somebody else has made a conflicting change to the same item. Use the back button in your browser to go back to the page you were on, then reload that page and try your change again.
Go back and try again

Alternatively, you can return to the main Gallery page and resume browsing.

Back to the Gallery

i found issue http://gallery.menalto.com/node/35124, and deleted all folders manually. and even then i get same error! so error is happening only when i try to save changes to linkitem item value. when change the name or title of linkitem item changes are saved successfully! i easily enter the database and change values, clear cache and then the value is changed.

Ouch, after upgrading to 2.1, my old albumlinks arn't working. I got the old module "albumlinks" to uninstall (after adjusting module.inc)
but trying to open a folder containing linked items, I get an error

LFrank, you've got a couple choices:
- if you're ok with deleting the existing links, select g_id from g2_Entity where g_entityType = 'AlbumLinkItem' .. then write your own script to call GalleryCoreApi::deleteEntityById on those ids (you could put those calls in theme.inc showAlbumPage and load main.php once, then remove those lines).
- if you prefer to save those items I think you might be able to convert to the new module.. check schema.tpl in the new linkitem module and alter the table you have to match that.. maybe you just have to rename the table, maybe you have to change the column names, definitions.. not sure. Then UPDATE g2_Entity set g_entityType = 'GalleryLinkItem' where g_entityType = 'AlbumLinkItem'; Then install the linkitem module and hopefully it will pick up those entities as valid links.

Having the same problem. Can you post explicit details on how to fix it? I don't care about saving the links (they are easy to add back). I am a little hesitant about creating my own script. Thanks!

Later,
Scott

you can't use the api to delete an entity of a type the system doesn't know.
(if you don't check the return value, you won't get any error...)
delete those rows from any table where you find those ids (Entity, ChildEntity, FileSystemEntity, Item)

what version of g2 are you using?

Wow, thanks to Mindless for helping so much with this issue. You originally helped me get this installed a couple months ago and now that I upgraded to 2.1 the instructions in the same thread helped me get my gallery back online again with a minimum of fuss.

I thought I'd spell out what I did in a little bit greater detail for those who aren't quite as familiar with MySQL.

This is how I got my linked items working again with the official module included with 2.1. This of course assumes you're using MySQL as the backend for your gallery. YMMV.

The official "Item Link" module included with Gallery 2.1 must be installed for this to work - if it's not then the new g2_LinkItem table you need to populate won't be in your database.

I used the mysql command line client to make the necessary table additions and modificaions.

Log into your database as a user with privileges to update the gallery database:

# mysql -u root -p
Enter password: 
Welcome to the MySQL monitor.  Commands end with ; or \g.
Your MySQL connection id is 238943 to server version: 4.1.12

Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer.

mysql> 

Now, switch to your gallery database:

mysql> use <gallerydb>;

replace <gallerydb> with the name of your gallery database.

Now, print out the existing ID pairs in the g2_AlbumLinkItem table:

mysql> select * from g2_AlbumLinkItem;
+-------+-----------------+
| g_id  | g_linkedAlbumId |
+-------+-----------------+
| 86814 |           85734 |
| 84644 |           54757 |
| 84646 |           84481 |
| 84648 |           44568 |
| 86818 |           48925 |
| 84652 |           50608 |
| 86816 |           47502 |
| 86419 |           86308 |
| 86422 |           86009 |
| 86424 |           86244 |
| 86426 |           86153 |
| 86820 |           57920 |
| 86822 |           57758 |
| 88269 |           87609 |
| 91539 |           90613 |
+-------+-----------------+
15 rows in set (0.03 sec)

Each of these pairs of IDs coorespond to an album link somewhere in your gallery.

Now, you need to populate the new table, g2_LinkItem, with this data.

For EACH pair of IDs, do the following:

mysql> insert into g2_LinkItem (g_id, g_link) values (<value1>, <value2>);

where <value1> and <value2> coorespond to a pair of IDs you obtained from the SELECT statement above. This might get kind of tedious if you have a lot of links... There is probably a more efficient way to do this if you know MySQL better... but I don't... so this is how I did it.

After you've entered every pair of IDs, you should be able to print out the g2_LinkItem table and it should look like the old g2_AlbumLinkItem table:

mysql> select * from g2_LinkItem;
+-------+--------+
| g_id  | g_link |
+-------+--------+
| 86814 | 85734  |
| 84644 | 54757  |
| 84646 | 84481  |
| 84648 | 44568  |
| 86818 | 48925  |
| 84652 | 50608  |
| 86816 | 47502  |
| 86419 | 86308  |
| 86422 | 86009  |
| 86424 | 86244  |
| 86426 | 86153  |
| 86820 | 57920  |
| 86822 | 57758  |
| 88269 | 87609  |
| 91539 | 90613  |
+-------+--------+
15 rows in set (0.00 sec)

Now, the final step is to run one more line of SQL as mentioned in Mindless' previous post:

mysql> UPDATE g2_Entity set g_entityType = 'GalleryLinkItem' where g_entityType = 'AlbumLinkItem';

And, voila! At this point your pages should be restored and all of your links should be working.

Hope this helps someone... just trying to do my part.

indeed, the code just sets the filename to 'linkitem' and the underlying code only checks 100 times to resolve filename conflicts. change modules/linkitem/classes/GalleryLinkItem.class line 90 and change:
$ret = parent::create($parentId, 'linkitem');
to:
$ret = parent::create($parentId, 'linkitem' . rand(1000,9999));
i'll commit the same change.

to omit the arrow on the thumbnail, edit modules/linkitem/ItemAddLinkItem.inc lin 158 and change it to
if (false) {
(instead if $isSupported)
