Mambo / Joomla! + G2

I have had G2 Beta 4 working with the latest Gallery Component for a couple weeks. It was working greatI haddn't checked it since last week and today I am getting this error.

please help...

dave132,

sorry no clue yet, i'll try a find it and report back.

Guy_Incognito,
your the second one how comes with this error, i'll investigate it this weekend.

Michiel

I need to add a sub album for each user when their inital album is created and looking at userfuncs.php thought perhaps it might be as simple as adding a second set of statements in the function g2_user_album(). I have been tried everything but can't seem to get the second album created using this method.

I know that the GalleryCoreApi::createAlbum requires a rootalbum id and I suspect that I am not providing the correct integer in that field (since it isnt working)..... I am quite unsure of the proper sql to get the rootalbum id of the initial album created in the first part of the function.

can anyone help with the code block that I would need to append to the g2_user_album function to accomplish this?

many advance thanks.

All with header probems install
the nightly snapshot of 8/12/05 RC1 or later

Michiel

malthazor,

great to here, i'll post it on mamboforge.net.

Michiel

Then an other thing, i have crashed with my bike to slippery roads and i have a broken collarbone and this is quite anoying and painfull when doing a lot op things, typing included. because of this, i wont be attending this forum a lot the next week, because it is exhausting to be up do things like getting dressed, shower. So programming and helping will not be on my todo list for this week but resting and doing things what normally would take second in 10 minutes

regards,
Michiel

Thanks Michiel - I checked it and I had unpublished the random image module so I activated it and other than finding no images to pull from, it seems to work fine but the Gallery 2 Image Block module still spits out that error I listed above.

I checked the configurations for both and there is nothing I can see that I should change that would affect the error it's spitting out.

Any other ideas?

I am not allowing my users to create albums, and have a specific client request to add a public and private album when the user logs on.... I am not seeing in the code a variable for the newalbum root.id -- isnt that created when the createalbum is called the first time?? which would mean a query would need to be made... (which is where I am having difficulty)...

so basically a query that would present me with the root album for the user album just created... would enable me to create the second call to the createalbum function.

It's activated (published, right?). Here's the website.

Here's the error again:

Fatal G2 error
Here's the error from G2:

Again, this all worked just fine before I installed G2 RC1. I never had an issue at all.

Ahh - it needs to be activated through gallery, not mambo. I don't even have an image block module, I did check there for anything off. I'll go try to find it to download and install. Thank you - I knew it must be something I just wasn't connecting the dots on.

Sorry to hear that, Get well soon wishes

Hello, I'm a newbie to this forum but not that new to Gallery 1.x. I am new to using Gallery2 though.

The Issue:
I've installed both Mambo 4.5.2.3 and Gallery G2+ from CVS. I've configured both Mambo and Gallery and was even able to get the com_gallery2 component under Mambo configured. What happens when I try to launch into Gallery from my mambo menu item all I get is a "500 Internal Server error". I've tried debugging from Mambo but since I get a 500 error I don't get any debugging info. I don't have access to the http server logs as my ISP has restricted on access to the access log.

Is there any tips anyone can give me in troubleshooting this issue?

mambo site [http://www.oconnorfamilyonline.com]
g2 site [http://www.oconnorfamilyonline.com/gallery2]
Menu Item Link from within mambo[http://www.oconnorfamilyonline.com/index.php?option=com_gallery2&Itemid=28]

The mambelfish language switcher does nothing at present and titles etc are only displayed in the default language ("english").

The reason for this is that in the file gallery2.php the call to G2helperclassswitchlang($iso_client_lang, $mosConfig_locale); does nothing.

If you change the line from

$lang = "english";G2helperclassswitchlang($iso_client_lang, $mosConfig_locale);

to

$lang = G2helperclassswitchlang($iso_client_lang, $mosConfig_locale);

The global variable $lang is reset by the mambelfish languge setter etc. and the image annotations switch language are required.

p.s. A neat piece of work!

p.p.s. Can you start a sub-forum for Mambo integration - trawling through 25 pages is ridicuous!

By the way, michiel: you could also look at http://www.thegillis.net/programming_papers/php/mambo,_xaneon,_and_gallery_sef_extension.html which has all the insights of modifying the seo urls with the com_gallery1 extension installed.

Just a thought.

what i've noticed about the integration is that, the emails registered via mambo were used as the usernames for G2. For some reason, the passwords didn't work though. if the users can log into g2 with their emails and pswd, it'd be good enough for me, but unfortunately..it didn't work

thanks dude.. )

Hi I've fixed the album for each users. It seems that it will only work if the user clicked on the Your Album link

Another question:
How do I remove the text that appears when the user dont have an album yet? The one that says:
You currently don't have a photo album, but you're entitled to one. Create my album! Remind later!

I don't need that so I would like to remove it, It will only bring confusion to my users.

Thanks and more power!

I'm getting a PHP error at the top of the page, when I click on the Gallery2 component (which I've linked to from a menu item I created).

What is going on?

BTW, I am running the following versions:

gallery-2.0_rc1
mambo-4.5.2.3
com_gallery2-2.0.6

In RC2 I don't see this warnungs any more, but } ?> } ?> } ?> !??

mambocreed,

which component version are you using?
And probably you need to alter the gallery2 template if it breaks your mambo template i haven't looked much into the template engine and css alteration. Somebody else maybe?

Michiel

This sounds what I'm looking for:

MINOR HACKS (.tpl and .css)

:: albumbody hack for album background to match the
:: background of your cms (Mambo)

:: css font size/style hack for breadcrumbs font to
:: match the typesetting of your cms (Mambo)

:: gallery/xhtml/codename buttons removal to clean up the gui

:: top pathbar hack to remove G2 welcome message, since there is no user integration yet

But I don't see a file related to that in the MamboForge file base.

At any rate, I can't understand how I might accomplish:

1) Controlling the information presented in the Gallery Sidebar Module. It doesn't seem to have a counterpart within the Gallery2 admin.

2) The Gallery Random Image module doesn't properly return control to Mambo, breaking other modules (SMF Bridge, for instance) - no album can be selected either for it, so if users are posting pictures, there's a chance that a pornographic image could be presented to all users. So it really can't be used on a multi-user site, as far as I know, without specifying a particular picture (which kills the random part of it).

3) The default matrix theme defies the component in presenting its own sidemodules, regardless of the settings.

My guess is that you've had a tough enough time getting it to where it is today - but for me, those are all major issues that make those features impossible to implement.

But again - who's going to troll through 27 pages and tell me, "Hey, I had that same problem - here's how I fixed it."

Michiel,

Awesome!

1) There are some hardcoded settings in Gallery2 (forms set to 60) that obliterate any chance of integrating the script into a 760 fixed width layout. Gallery forces 2 columns in various situations - and there's simply no room for a 3rd column. So I just yanked it and removed ALL modules on the pages where Gallery is present.

2) I'd like to set Random Image to only pull from one album. Is that possible? If I can restrict it from pulling from the member-created albums, that would also be cool. But I don't know how to do that?

3) This is the word I got on the Random Image Module - not techie enough to understand it:

For some reason, the Gallery random picture module operates outside Mambo’s global environment, and does not return to it properly, so none of the variables defined in SMF are retained after the Gallery module is executed.

SMF refers to Simple Machines

4) Yeah, that's the problem I was referring to in 1. Right now, there seems to be a column hard-coded to run to the left - and with the 60-width forms, it takes up the whole page.

Also, on the porn bit, do you know if there's any "reporting" available for Gallery2? I don't really care about porn - but I know it can suck my bandwidth - plus it's banned on my server.

So it'd be nice to at least have a reporting mechanism for users on that type of thing. Maybe they'll police themselves a bit.

Thanks for all your help.

And, for anyone else who needs to remove the "60" on the forms, just use a robust text editor and do a folder "search and replace" through the entire module directory in Gallery2. Search for "60" and replace with "40" (include quotes) or whatever you like, then zip that up, remove the module directory under Gallery2 on your server, and replace with the modified files. There are 17 files that require modification, spread throughout the modules directory.

But you can still expect problems with other parts, like "Custom Fields", which also take up a huge chunk of real estate and will break a 760 fixed-width template, pretty much no matter what you do. I've posted the problem in Support, but they're so busy with other stuff, it's not a high priority and probably won't be fixed any time soon.

And this code lays outside the "templates" directory - so you can't conquer it any other way than hardcoding.

Thanks again.

Michiel,

Thanks again. On

2) I still don't understand what you're telling me - I'll take a closer look at it, though.

3) I'm referring to the Random Image Module created with your project, available on MamboForge. The Mambo module. And I'm not a coder - but I do know that the official SMF Bridge (not the one from MamboHacks) doesn't modify any core Mambo files. It's all "over my head" - but it might be something you might check out with the SMF guys - they're very cool, and extremely helpful.

4) Yeah, that's a big one - I can't believe there's not a HUGE demand for it. Spamming comments is bad enough - imagine the porno companies coming in and taking over your multi-user gallery.

Thanks again for all your help.

Also, one other BIG question

Is there ANY way to run the user sync as a cron job?

And if I turn off user registration for Gallery2 within Gallery2 (I can't remove the "Register" links from Gallery2 using your component) - will the integration method you've employed still be able to register new members for Gallery2?

If I could turn off Gallery2 registration, then automatically run the user sync every 5 minutes or so, that might work until we have a better solution?

Basically, we're taking pictures at parties to promote our site - and only registered members (of Mambo and therefore Gallery2) can view the full-size pictures.

Thanks.

Thanks again!

I use SMF Bridge in place of Mambo registration. Wondering if I can place that code into that file, and automatically run that sync every time someone registers?

Also, I'm sure this shows my complete ignorance, but why is it that the sync isn't run every time someone registers?

UPDATE: Nevermind, nevermind. I was able to install it... it installed as a component, not a module. My duh.

Configuring is a different thing. I battle that one out.

Ok, bonehead question here. Am not a Mambo guru but have good skills in other CMS.

Question... how can I install the com_gallery2_v2.0.6.1.zip manually?

zlib is not available on the particular server. I unzipp and retarred the files and structure. Still failed using the upload function. I unzipped the files and maintained the structure in the ../com_installer/module directory and tried that. Error came back and said "XML setup file is not for a "module"...

Am stuck. Sorry to chew up bandwidth on this, but help anyone?
