Mambo / Joomla! + G2

michiel,

Side bar module works great! You've outdone yourself! Great job man!

Question:

Is there a way to have two separate instances of mod_galleryside at the same time that display different parts of the G2 sidebar?

In other words, what I'd love to be able to do is have the "Action items" and "Photo cart" show only when in the picture gallery but have the "album select" and "Random image" show when on the mambo home page.

Possible?

KAC,

no. it is a planned feature of the embed api to offer any nr of blocks / block groups, but for now, one sidebar must be enough.
i wouldn't call the planned feature "unlimited numbers of sidebars", it's more like "get any blocks you want additional to the sidebar" and you can place the additional blocks where ever you want (as long as the CMS allows it).
ETA of this feature: unknown... weeks, months? when we have time.

Hello,

I don't get the pictures
http://www.phonescorporation.com/option,com_gallery2.html

I have the component 2.0.6 and the last G2's version

Someone can help?

Awesome job team G2 & Mambo!!!

All things are working but the only thing I can't id is this error msg "error fetching root album"

Cheers,

I have figured out from the database, that G2 usernames were replaced by the email address. I don't know whether it is intended or not.

I still cannot log in G2 with Firefox (no error anymore). But it works with IE.

burner,

yeah, it's a small bug. it's out next version.

Lakys,
i have downloaded mosplus, and it isn't mambo anymmore, they have hacked the user tables and altered many files in mambo core. Sorry this will take to much time to make compatible, but i have heard that there will be a new mambo+phpbb install possible after the relaise of mambo 4.5.3 that doesn't require the mambo core hacking.
[edit]
second thought, it might be possible but it's not a top priority, i'll take a look at it, when i have time todo some expermenting on this, because th user table is different in mambo, g2 usertable is now corrupt!!!

solja,
I you gave me you site url i could take a look?
for now change your relative path to => ./gallery
and have you placed a menu link to the component?

Regards,
Michiel

michiel_1981,

My relative path is now ./gallery, didn't appear to change anything.

The Mambo url is:
http://www.xyxx.com/~jsoza/extremeedge.org/

Gallery2 is located at:
http://www.xyxx.com/~jsoza/extremeedge.org/gallery

And there is a menu link to Gallery2 named "Photo Gallery".

I intentionally changed the paths in my previous post to make it more obvious where mambo was (i.e. I replaced "extremeedge.org" with "mambo" to make things more clear).

Thanks a lot for looking.

michiel_1981,

A photo has been uploaded.

The setup I believe is pretty standard for Apache. The webroot for users is /home/user/public_html, which is aliased with /~user - the 'extremeedge.org' directory was created for use as a development site.

Do you think the results might be different if Mambo and Gallery2 were installed into /home/jsoza/public_html? I can't think of any reason I'd be getting JS errors, of all things.

Lakys,

hi, the problem is the the mos_user table isn't the same any more, you have to change all the $row[?] in the function tools($option, $act, $task, $from){

from admin.gallery2.php

goodluck,
Michiel

mosey,

do you have short urls enabled?
it isn't supported yet, i need to figur this one out, to make it work so everybody understands.

Regards,
Michiel

michiel_1981:

You're right - I do have short urls enabled (the gallery short url module?) at the moment. I installed 404SEF but its disabled at present. I'm sorry I didn't realise short urls weren't supported - I guess this is why /mambo2/ is replacing /gallery2/?
Thanks

I'm trying to get G2 integration working with Mambo. I have posted before but nobody replied.

I'm using Mambo 4.5.2 the latest com_gallery2 2.0.6

Gallery version = 2.0-beta-3+ core 0.9.31
PHP version = 4.3.11 apache2handler
Webserver = Apache/2.0.52 (Fedora)
Database = mysql 3.23.58

this is running on my local server.

Gallery2 path /home/http/gallery2
Mambo path /home/http/Mambo

config settings

Full path to G2 : /home/http/gallery2/
Relative path : ../gallery2
Path to Mambo : /Mambo/
embedUri : /Mambo/index.php?option=com_gallery2&Itemid=96

short urls are off

Gallery2 standalone works fine
Mambo works fine
G1 integration works fine

Selecting G2 from mambo produces a blank page.

HTML of this page is

Does anybody have any idea to what is going wrong?[/]

Guys,

Using the latest versions of everything. I have the component working perfectly (thanks for a great piece of software!!) form within Mambo, and standalone as well. All paths seem to be correct.

I have 28 registered users in Mambo out of which 19 are enabled and the rest blocked (did not activate using the email link). When I run the sync user, it says 28 users synced, 2 users updated, errors 0. But in Gallery only two users were inserted (the last two enabled ones, none of the others were created).

HELP???

Many thanks for that!

Edited:
I have progressed a little with MosPlus

I have finally understood that MosPlus translates calls of regular Mos user table fields in the main database class. So things should work properly.
However fields should not be called with row[x] but with row->field instead .

Here is my version:

case 'sync_users':
			$ret = G2helperclass::init_G2($my->id, 'true');
			$database->setQuery( "SELECT * FROM #__users" );
			//$rows = $database->query();
      $rows = $database->loadObjectList();

      //we have the list of users to sync
			$update = 0;
			$sync = 0;
			$error = 0;
			$myresult = "";
      foreach($rows as $row)
      //while($row =& mysql_fetch_row($rows))
			{
			print $row->id;
			$row_username = $row->username;
			$ret = GalleryEmbed::isExternalIdMapped($row->id, 'GalleryUser');
					if (!$ret->_errorCode) {
							if($task == 'sync_users'){
							//hack for blocked users
							if($row->block == 1){
							$pass = md5(mt_rand().'-'.time());
							$return =  G2helperclass::update_user($row->id, array('username' =>  $row->username,
                                                'email' =>  $row->email, 'fullname' =>  $row->name,
                                                'hashedpassword' =>  $pass, 'hashmethod' => 'md5'));
							} else {
							$return =  G2helperclass::update_user($row->id, array('username' =>  $row->username,
                                                'email' =>  $row->email, 'fullname' =>  $row->name,
                                                'hashedpassword' =>  $row->password, 'hashmethod' => 'md5'));
							}
							//$return gives false or true back depending on succes
								if(!$return){
									$error++;
								} else {
									$update++;
								}
							} else {					
							// nothing at the moment
							}
					}else{
						$gUser = GalleryCoreApi::fetchUserByUsername ($row_username);
						if (!$gUser[0]->_errorCode) {
							//Collision i think
							echo '<img src="/administrator/images/disable.png">';
						}else{
							//if no match and no external id
							//echo '<img src="/administrator/images/publish_x.png">';
							if($task == 'sync_users'){
							//hack for blocked users
							if($row->block == 1){
							$pass = md5(mt_rand().'-'.time());
							$return =  G2helperclass::new_user($row->id, array('username' =>  $row->username,
                                                'email' =>  $row->email, 'fullname' =>  $row->name,
                                                'hashedpassword' =>  $pass, 'hashmethod' => 'md5'));
							} else {
							$return =  G2helperclass::new_user($row->id, array('username' =>  $row->username,
                                                'email' =>  $row->email, 'fullname' =>  $row->name,
                                                'hashedpassword' =>  $row->password, 'hashmethod' => 'md5'));
							}
							//$return gives false or true back depending on succes
								if(!$return){
									$error++;
								} else {
									$sync++;
								}
							}
						}
					}
			}//end while
			//dynamic redirect on $sync and $update

This code is working properly without corrupting the G2 user table.

ps: there was something weird at the line $gUser = GalleryCoreApi::fetchUserByUsername, you were calling a user_login field (I am not sure it exists).

macallf,

Could you check the url, mambo is pionting to when your visisting the embedded gallery?

solja,

could you try Firefox and see if the errors occur?

imachavezd,

that is strange, could you give me the mos_user table layout, which fields are in there?

redsee,

This is know problem i'm trying to fix.

Regards,
Michiel

michiel_1981,

its Mambo 4.5.2.3 and G2 Core 0.9.32 and com_gallery2 2.0.6.B.1

When I added a few more users and enabled just one, that one was automatically added to Gallery, so thats great. But same issue with the existing ones.

Except for last user all the rest are pre existing before the component was installed. As I mentioned earlier, everything else seems to be working without a hitch except for the user sync. I have not tested if logging into Mambo as a user will give me access to the G2 restricted albums yet though, I will try that next.

Thanks for all your help!!!

EDIT
This is the output I get for Sync Users now

Synced: 29 Updated: 3 Errors: 0

Still last three enabled are there, the rest dont seem to get created.

I'm getting lots of undefinded variables all over the place, for example this happens when I go to Album Management:

Notice: Undefined variable: itemId in
/var/www/vhosts/www2.schmidp.com/administrator/components/com_gallery2/admin.gallery2.php on line 485

I'm using com_gallery2 2.0.6 and g2-beta4 on apache2 with php5.
Is php5 supported? Have you tested it with php5?

I also get this when trying to view the gallery from mambo:

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent in /var/www/vhosts/www2.schmidp.com/index.php on line
194

greets philipp

michiel_1981,

Just an update on the JS problems: I tracked the error down to the search script. When I disabled the search module, the error went away. This only appeared to be happening in IE 6.

The site admin link still goes nowhere from inside the integration, i.e. Gallery2 standalone 'site admin' works fine, but from within Mambo, it doesn't work. I'm going to assume this is something wrong with my own setup, since I don't see anyone else reporting the same problem.

Thanks a lot for your time.

Nothing shows up in the gallery sidebar.

I know, I'm stupid.

I'm new to all this. Any help? I have the latest thingy for mambo I think.

Edit: Fixed with latest Mambo version.

Now, new question. How do I get the gallery 2 module sider bar (not the image block) to either A) Display the image of the day (gone as of .4 beta?) or B) Not display an image at all?

Can anyone help a bit of a newb?

I'm using Mambo 4.5.2 and Gallery 2 beta 3 and I WAS an early version of the Gallery 2 component (sorry cant remember the version now or where I found it) and that seemed to work okay in that I could see the gallery in my Mambo site and I could get the side bar module to work as well. Then I found this thread and the link to the more upto date component, com_gallery2 version 2.06 and thought I'd give that a try.

So I uninstalled the old component and installed the new one and went to the config page which is where my problems started

I dont have this site on a 'real' server at the moment instead its just running on a test server that I have on my Windows XP test server. Therefore I dont have normal paths like /home/me/public_html/gallery2 but instead have C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache\htdocs\gallery2

The thing is that through a lot of guess work I have managed to get the config page to accept the paths I have given it and all the tools in the admin area work and the sidebar module in the front end of my site displays the thumbnails in the gallery etc properly but when I try to access the gallery either via a menu or by clicking on one of the thumbnails in the sidebar module it takes ages to do anything and then just goes to an an empty white page

For the full path I am having to give C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache/htdocs/gallery2/ anything else is rejected (note the / and not \)

For the relative path I am having to give ./gallery2 anything else is rejected

For the path to Mambo I'm having to give /

Mambo is installed in the route of my server (so if I go to http://localhost I see my mambo front page) and gallery2 is installed in a folder off the route which I can access by going to http://localhost/gallery2

Anyone know what it is that I am doing wrong? I cant understand how the module displays images perfectly but any links to the images do not work? Oh and I dont have SEO enabled in Mambo if thats of any use.

Ahh BINGO. Cheers michiel I hadnt realised that Gallery 2 beta 4 had been released. I think it came out literally the day after I downloaded beta 3!

I've installed beta 4 now and the gallery works perfectly as a component as do the menu links which is great. I've also downloaded the latest version of the sidebar module as well as the version I had wouldnt work with beta 4 however now I get the following message where the module should be:

your not on the gallery embedded page!!

Sorry to sound so thick but, huh?

Peakoverload,

it won't work properly, and this perfents uses outside of gallery2 page.
you can alter the code and test it. just remove the if statement that uses $option !=

regards,
Michiel

imachavezd,

who are the 2 users? Guest admin by any change?

what are your config settings?
all working fine only user sync? are the users getting synced when the visit the embedded gallery in the front end?

regards,
Michiel

bashil,

windows full paths are using this structure
D:\MSAS\http_root\www\Mambo452\gallery\

in your case, try that one!

regards,
Michiel

bashil,

pm Peakoverload he has managed to get it running, i can't use msas because it is for windows and i don't have that installed in my ibook.

regards,
Michiel
