Plugin • MyGallery Lightbox Gallery • Update march 7th 2009

[combatyeti]

I couldn't have phrased it any better. I mean, you have stolen my lines! Have you found a solution or did yo just give up on it?
Or are you after 6 weeks still waiting for someone smart to reply? I hope you have been able to fix it, and if so, please let me be part of your succes!

Unfortunately, I didn't find a real solution or fix - however, what I DID do, is manually go back through every single download URL for everything that's been uploaded onto the server - by changing the download number - until I found an older version of the mygallery script. To my absolute astoundment, it works perfectly!

I've uploaded it here for you and anybody else that has this same problem, as a temporary measure until we get an official fix :] I'm sorry if I'm not allowed to do this, guys!

Seeing as I presume it's an older version, I guess there might be some bugs here and there - but I've never come across any so far, so hopefully it should work okay for you, too! let me know how you get on <3

Hi Yeti,
Thanks a lot!, but it unfortunately doesn't work for me. I don't even get the screen for creating a new gallery anymore.
I have surfed to http://www.planetluc.com/en/ installed the 1.8.1 version. MyGallery has still not been created among the options, but I'm able to get to the "Creating New Gallery" screen again. However after creating the gallery it's asking me for a login and password. Thought I've read somewhere it's admin and pass, but it's not. After confirming is just sends me back to "main".... Any idea?

[combatyeti]

Hi Ned,
I recall having a similar problem to you - after installing the older plugin I uploaded, were you not able to access the gallery manager via the direct http://www.yourdomain.com/yourCNR/index ... &mgstart=1 link? I had the same problem after uploading the older version, but I was able to access the manager via the direct link. I presume you weren't able to, seeing as you just told me you couldn't get to the create a gallery screen, but I just thought I'd double-check to get an idea of what's going on!

As for the login issue, try checking and editing the config.inc.php file inside the mygallery folder. There is a section at the top detailing the admin log in/password - see what that says, and maybe try changing it. If it still fails to work, try checking the permissions of the following files/folders inside the mygallery folder:

galleries.dat
log.dat.php
images/
images/_tmp/

should all be set to 0777

Also check the config.inc.php file's permissions - I believe they should be 0750, but I'm not sure.

Good luck, please let me know if you have further trouble :]

Hey Yeti, you know what? I love you! .....life makes sense again
It's amazing. To my mind I've been doing the exact same thing twice, but apparently I've not. I think config.inc.php needs to be 777, as it doesn't work when it's 750. There is still no link in the options menu, but that's fine.

I have been told that ftp clients including Filezilla are not always doing/chmodding what you tell..actually, what they say they are doing. Perhaps this has been the case, as initially I've chmod everything to 777 (including subfolders and files) for testing purposes... But perhaps I have just done something else stupid. Anyway it works now!

I've read that it's impossible to create subcategories. How about creating them manually and just add in the galleries you want to appear. Is there a e.g. like a "starting from" function, like there is with show_news.php? So you just use multiple includes, each displaying different categories or ID's... Or any other way to deal with it?

Pls excuse me for having so many questions...

[combatyeti]

Not at all, Ned! Simply glad to be of service! I'm happy it's working for you now :] It is possible to manually add a link to the mygallery manager in your cutenews.ru admin panel. To do this, open yourcutenewsfolder/inc/mod/options.mdu

find:

Code: Select all

            array(
            'name'    => $echo['snr'],
            'url'    => $PHP_SELF.'?mod=snr',
            'access' => 1
            ),

Below this, add:

Code: Select all

            array(
            'name'    => $echo['mygallery'],
            'url'    => $PHP_SELF.'?mod=options&action=mygallery&mgstart=1',
            'access' => 1
            ),

Save the file, and now open yourcutenewsfolder/index.php

Find:

Code: Select all

                 'plugins'       => 'admin',

Below this, add:

Code: Select all

                 'mygallery'       => 'admin',

Save the file, and finally open yourcutenewsfolder/inc/lang/en/options.ini

At the bottom of this file, below everything else, add:

Code: Select all

mygallery = "MyGallery Manager"

Save this file, and then go to your admin panel. MyGallery Manager should be listed under options ! I hope this helps!

I'm not entirely sure about the subcategories, as I've never tinkered with mygallery in depth... if you're willing to give me a little while to have a closer look at the script, I'll be more than happy to see how I can help you. :] I'll see what I can do!

[Ned Flanders]

That's great! Thanks a lot Yeti. I know even got a proper mygallery-button!
One more thing I don't understand is the language settings in config.inc.php. When I change the phrases below, not all of them display their new values. But perhaps I need to change "Start Slideshow" and "Back to the Index" somewhere else?

// ************************ LANGUAGE SETTINGS *************************
// ********************************************************************

//gallery layout
$mgConf['lang']['admin'] = "Admin";
$mgConf['lang']['slideshow'] = "Continue Slideshow";
$mgConf['lang']['slideshowdesc'] = "Wait ".$mgConf['slideshowtime']." seconds or";
$mgConf['lang']['clickpic'] = "Click on the picture to get to the next one";
$mgConf['lang']['index'] = "Back to the Index";
$mgConf['lang']['picture'] = "Picture";
$mgConf['lang']['pictureof'] = "of";
$mgConf['lang']['firstpage'] = htmlentities("«««");
$mgConf['lang']['prevpage'] = htmlentities("««");
$mgConf['lang']['nextpage'] = htmlentities("»»");
$mgConf['lang']['lastpage'] = htmlentities("»»»");

[combatyeti]

Is this the config.inc.php file in the mygallery folder? Or your cutenews directory? It's entirely possible you need to change them elsewhere - if you let me know whereabouts you're looking, I can have a quick peek for you. :] I'm so glad you have the button working - I'll let you know if I make any progress with subcategories!

[cablegunmaster]

Well the button is working thats all I can say
oh a update somewhere above didnt see that lets check out
* test test test * thats what I do
well it only shows a header.... with nothing in it
The clarifitcation on this mod is soooo unclear!
I uploaded all the files to cnr/plugins/mygallery
and 1 file to cnr/plugins/
now I added the config.inc.php all those codes above . but it only shows me a new page with
HEADER .
Can someone help me

im not even sure what this plugin does

Hi Yeti, I was working on config.inc.php in the mygallery folder. I've searched on and within all files, but couldn't find any file with the content "Start Slideshow" and/or "Back to the Index". Good luck with the subcategories !

Yeah, I had that exact problem - only with the new version that D72 uploaded. The file I uploaded was an old copy that fixed the problem for me, but I guess it won't work for everybody. Unfortunately, if it doesn't work, I'm afraid I can't help you. Did you upload the 'mygallery plugin FULL UPDATE' folder itself, or did you upload just the files and folders inside that folder?

The plugin is literally just a gallery manager script. It lets you add an image gallery to your website. All the plugin does is allow you to access it using your cutenewsru admin panel as opposed to logging in twice on your website.

Hi Yeti, I was working on config.inc.php in the mygallery folder. I've searched on and within all files, but couldn't find any file with the content "Start Slideshow" and/or "Back to the Index". Good luck with the subcategories !

Okeydoke, I had a look in the mygallery files - did you try editing templates.tpl? I found the line:

Code: Select all

      <td align="center" class="mgtxt"><a href="{urlslideshow}" <? if ($mgConf['fancyslideshow']){ echo "onclick="mgStartSlideshow(); return false;""; } ?> >Start Slideshow</a> | <a href="{urlbacktoindex}">Back to the Index</a></td>

I'm hoping this is what you're looking for

Cool Yeti, another thing from my list. Thanks!
I just don't understand why it just doesn't find the template file when I search for "Start Slideshow" in the content of all mygallery files... but then again, it works!
Does it also work when you upload a zip-file? Before, with my previous version, I got an error report. Now it doesn't mention a thing, but it also doesn't do a thing. I have tried zipping with WinRar and have also downloaded WinZip, but neither one of them worked. Does it work with you?
P.s.: Thanks again Yeti!

[combatyeti]

I'm afraid I never tried uploading any Zip files. I can't access my stuff from where I am now - I'll have a look for you as soon as I am able!
