Hi,

I"m very thrilled about the looks of this new version. I've been using 1.4 for quite some time.

G2 stand alone works okay, but when I try to integrate it with Mambo, I only get a blank page after clicking the Gallery menu item. My component settings are:

Full Path to Gallery G2: //var/www/virtual/mcgrathem.nl/gallery/
Relative path to Gallery G2: /gallery
Path to Mambo: /
embedUri: index.php?option=com_gallery2

My mambo installation is in the root of this virtual domain (//var/www/virtual/mcgrathem.nl)

The gallery is in the subdir gallery of the root for this domain

I tried different values for these options, but the result is completely identical: a blank page.

Has anyone an idea about this?
Thanks!
Con

No one familiar with the above described failure?
Help would be welcome!

conh,

update to latest component version 2.0.5 and set your
Relative path to Gallery G2: gallery

that should work for you

Regards,
Michiel

Thanks,

I uninstalled the old component, deleted the com_gallery directory, and installed the new component. I can see no change of behaviour whatsoever. Are the rest of my settings okay? (See my first message).

When I checked the components page, I see that it is still version 1.4 I downloaded it from www.gotgtek.com. Is there a newer one around?

I have run into the same symptom and I have been scanning the forums for a couple hours now to find an answer. I'm not saying it's not out there, but there is such a huge amount of information to absorb here.

I was running 1.x version of Gallery for a few months on PHPBB2 and it ran fairly well. I ran a parallel Gallery 2 for a couple days, really liked it, got frustrated at the lack of PHPBB integration information and all the talk about forking... so I switched to Mambo. After a few hours I moved my old PHPBB into Mambo through a lot of trial and error.

Now I have installed a fresh copy of Gallery 2 and I can view it by loading it from my Mambo path.

My gallery2 folder is in the Mambo root. The Mambo root is my www root atm.

I am using this configuration:

Full Path: d:\www\mambo\gallery2\
Relative path: ./gallery2
embedURi: /index.php?option=com_gallery2&Itemid=28
Login redirect: /

When I follow the link I get a blank page.
The source of the blank page is:

I went out after reading this thread and installed version 2.0.6 but the same issue occurs.

I just noticed that my component version and author lines are missing from the Mambo admin menu.

Also only Config and About submenus have anything in them. Maybe the install went haywire. So I uninstalled, reinstalled... same thing.

I noticed a reply on a different integration thread by PeakOverLoad.

He used paths with a forward slash instead of a backslash.

I changed my Full Path to d:/www/mambo/gallery2/

and my relative path to:

./gallery2

and now the blank page is gone and I can see the gallery. Progress!

megabit2k,

your on a windows server and you should use forward slashes. unix servers use backwards slashes.

i'll contribute this to the FAQ to make it more accesable for all the windows users out there.

regards and thxs,
Michiel

michiel,

even though I was on a windows server, the config section did not reject the use of backward slashes. I was able to to put my path in and it apparently passed the check (however that is done) and saved the config. Is there a way to 'increase' the actual accuracey of the path check routine?

also, in my mind, Windows uses backward slashes, such as dos a path would be

c:\windows\

(even though windows accepts forward or backwards slashes in command line navigation, it always displays backward slashes)

a little confusing, but I would appreciate this concept clarified in your FAQ or in the module text.
