Mambo / Joomla! + G2

Greetings. The Joomla+G2 bridge works beautifully. Well done.

Couple of questions.... I have lost the little navigation icons in every theme. And in the past version tests was able to have the G2 theme override the Joomla Template, meaning G2 could run its own themed "appearance". Have gone through all the settings available and don't seem to be able to get that ability, which I suspect would return the little navigation icons too.

Anyone have a thought on this?

Otherwise, works beautifully....

What theme are you using in Gallery2? Let's start there.... will work to help you. The Joomla bridge and the checkout mods are excellent tools.

UPDATE
I think that I found out what it is but don't yet know how to fix it...

Seems that when I am in Joo I am NOT logged into the gallery...
Seems that when I go to localhost/gallery2 where it is working, and log out, it stops working... So I guess you have to be a member and logged in to see the dropdown for the cart options. And this is not going to work for me... SO now I have to find a way for this dropdown add to cart option to work for non members.

I have a similar problem. I have a fresh mambo install and gallery2 install. From inside gallery2 i can use the shopping cart and print to shutterfly. But when i access it through the gallery2 bridge in mambo it just takes me to a blank screen after i hit print with shutterfly from the shopping cart. This only occurs for the cart. If i do an individual image it will work. But if i add it to the cart and the hit the shutterfly it just goes to a blank screen. I am also running this site off a virtual host on apache server. Any help would be greatly apprectiated. The site is also www.matthewandtraci.net. If you want to check the gallery out and test go for it.

I really need some help. I've had gallery and joomla integrated for a while now and i've started having a problem lately. I'm using Joomla 1.0.10, Gallery 2.1.1, and the newest bridge.

Here's my problem:

When I open a browser (firefox or IE), and go to my site, I try to login like normal. I immediately get a popup telling me I am not authorized to view this resource. I click ok, and it returns to the homepage with the login. I click login again, but this time it works.

Now, if I close my browser and reopen it, I have the same problem all over again. When I come back to the site, I am logged out and I must repeat the above process.

So, why does my site never remember me, and why do I get this error message upon initial entry to my site?

Thanks for any help, I've posted this at the bridge developer's site and I haven't heard anything for weeks.

Thanks,
Jeff

Well considering I just had one of my sites hacked that was running an older Joomla, I don't think reverting back is an option. I actually did wait a while before upgrading and people seemed to be doing ok. I took the login page off the homepage and put a login link in the main menu. This helps a little bit but what i've realized is that the homepage is the one that appears not logged in.

I'm having the same issue (losing the navigations icons in every theme). Have you figured out how to get past that? Mine is working other than that.

help me for this problem: Image Frame
My Gallery is OK when I view gallery that stand alone.
But when I browse it through joomla the image frame doesn't show. And some other images of other module don't show too.
joomla: http://localhost/joomla
G2: http://localhost/joomla/gallery

Hi All,

I'm running Joomla 1.0.10 and just installed Gallery2 v2.1.1a minimal, and the Gallery plugin v2.0.13 beta2. I'm also running other database apps, and with Gallery I'm now getting a lot of "Cannot redeclare" function errors surrounding the ADO functions (ADONewConnection) and a few others. Most notably, it appears that the same function names are being used by Open Realty. Short of changing all the function names in one or the other app, is there a quick and easy way to correct this? Like a way to make PHP function names Local?

Thanks.

I'm getting an error with the componant in the backend of mambo in the gallery componant config. Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /mounted-storage/home10/sub012/sc16794-WPLY/mysite/components/com_gallery2/classes/core.class on line 184

I have a fully integrated site with another host and am in the process of migrating. Mambo and smf are now working well again and bridged but the gallery bridge is not working for me with the above error. Latest mambo 4.5.4, gallery 2.1.2 and com_gallery2_v2.0.13-beta2.zip

I'm experiencing the same problems as drhiii and tetonedge.

When running G2 with com_gallery2 in Joomla (all most recent releases), I can no longer use my checkout options without errors for shutterfly or photoworks.

Shutterfly produces the following error when I click "GO": Fatal error: Call to undefined function: getwidth() in /home/sites/www.eikenberrys.com/web/gallery/modules/shutterfly/PrintPhotos.inc on line 185

And photoworks never "recieves" any pictures from the cart once the photoworks.com site loads. There are just placeholders where the pictures are supposed to be on the photoworks site.

The slideshow function doesn't work either when in a Joomla component. It loads, but then just sits there and never refreshes to the next image.

All these features work fine in standalone Gallery2. Very wierd. Please tell me that someone has a fix for this.

in reply to myself... I use Siteground as my host, and the G2 Bridge {perhaps the random image module} was consuming an excessive amount of resources... they throttled my site - requesting that i resolve the cause of the server resource demand, or that I upgrade to a higher service which would allow me more resources...

So, i had to upgrade my service from them, to allow for the extra processing - but i plan now to just abandon the bridge and apply a common theme/template for G2 and Joomla... Not something I want to spend time doing....

Kudo's however to Siteground, they did a great investigation to the cause of the problem, and were extraordinarily responsive to getting my site moved to the better hosting platform and investigating root cause of the performance problem.

hello all,
after bridging the gallery with Joomla i noticed
problems with viewing the gallery.
I mean that the gallery fonts and the appearance in general is
so small that u cant read or do anything.
See the image i m uplading to get the picture.

I don't think that's possible. Why do you want to have more than one bridged to the same joomla install?

Well, i would have one gallery2 install and have two albums under the root, one for public and one for registered users.

I have an old Mambo site that included Gallery2 that was installed in October of 2005. I do not know what version it is and have not upgraded it. I transferred it to another directory where I am attempting to integrate into Joomla 1.0.11. After changing the Gallery2 config.php file and navigating directly to the gallery, it works perfectly. But after installing the various gallery2 components, it does not.

I've tried:

2.0.11 - BACK END CONFIGURATION IS BLANK
2.0.11A - BACK END CONFIGURATION IS BLANK
2.0.12 = WORKS BUT HAVING DIFFICULTY THE Relative Server Path to G2 THAT DOESN'T SAVE
2.0.13 - BACK END CONFIGURATION IS BLANK

With either of these solutions above, the gallery shows up as a front end component, but the photos do not. Whereas navigating directly to the gallery, all photos are visible. Any hints?

hi-

I just installed G2 and bridge. The standalone works fine. And i can access G2 from my site. Problem is no images appear- just the text and frames but no images. I installed g2 in /andres_gal2 so it would seem i have given the correct paths..... thanks for any help!

/home/analogia/public_html/gal2/andres_gal2/
http://www.andresamador.net/gal2/andres_gal2/main.php

problem solved- syntax was off for the url path!

I have been working on a site for my childerns school. We have joomla installed and working now we wanted to install Gallery2 and the G2 Bridge. We also have that installed but I would like to build a little security into the album. We don't want just anyone to see the photos on the site. We would like the users be a registered user on Joomla before they are allowed to view any of the albums. Is this possible and if so what do i need to do?

thanks for you help.

just for reference the site is www.vcsmo.org

Here is my secret: When you are having free web built to your site try to get them placed within the content (within the description portion of your reciprocal link for example). Also in link building you will want to insure you're varying the terms of your anchor text. Creating hundreds of links with identical anchor text will quickly be detected as a link building effort (i.e. not natural) and thus will carry little hosting weight. Different anchor text for your links will appear more natural and thus will have a more positive impact on your rankings.

Pls ignore my last post. I fixed it! Well, more like worked out what the problem was. When downloading the brigde from the site it downloaded it within a zip file. I have to extract it from the zip file first and then upload it. I am now trying to configure it but it is asking for JoomlaLib? well I am now looking into this..

Hello,

My problem is a little different.

I've installed a fresh gallery2 and fresh joomla to my server and perfectly integrated them together.Bu my problem is gallery2 uses UTF8 and my joomla uses ıso 8859-9 Turkish cahrset.Either i use UTF-8 encode-decode function with in the plugin it doesn't displays some characters true.I don't know what to do to solve this problem.

An ideas are welcome...

I have a fix for the modules/mod_gallery2_image.php file.

Problem: A Joomla Website, the preview gallery2 module (mod_gallery2_image) displayed all images instead of the specified amount.

Here is the fixed file, apologies of this was already said, i searched and found nothing straight away:
