[msalcher]

also improving the component

the component is an picture gallery with simple functions
but i want to build up in a batch add function so that you
don't need to add some picture one by one

plz contact me per pn

thx

[jomaco1]

You certainly won't have any trouble finding testers. Add me to the list for sure! I have several test sites going at any given time and will be delighted to have another toy to play with! :)

[MamboHut]

I think the best thing to do about this, is to create a beta and upload it to Mamboportal.com and have the whole community test it for you ;)

[msalcher]

will be delighted to have another toy to play with! :)
it seems that you have fun with it :cool:
plz. write your results
thx

You can add me to the list... gotta go offline now to play ;)

[Edi]

well, since I don't have the site online for now, I'll test it offline using MSAS.
so count me in as a tester.
I'll give it a try tomorrow :)

[msalcher]

so as faar as i see i got an issue with the permissions
its the images/stories <-- folder that should be chmod 777
without these my script wouldn't run
i put all the pictures in
images/stories/galleria/
in seperate folders for each categorie
therefore i need the permissions
i think about changing the path but a friend of mine
told me that it would be nice to use the pictures in the media manager
what do you think about it ?

Hi,

I just installed it on my site. No problem in the installation.
When i go to Components->Galleria->"any option" i get the following error.

Warning: Failed opening 'admin.class.galleria.php' for inclusion (include_path='') in /home/.sites/bla/sitename/web/administrator/components/com_galleria/admin.galleria.php on line 11

Warning: Failed opening 'admin.html.galleria.php' for inclusion (include_path='') in /home/.sites/bla/sitename/web/administrator/components/com_galleria/admin.galleria.php on line 12

[msalcher]

hm
strange i cannot reproduce this error
did you had a look at administrator/components/com_galleria ?
normally there should be alle the files that there called as an error
i think its an problem on your site
what version of mambo do you have ?

[jeroen]

Ok i run mambo 4.5 1.05 with mambelfish corepatches.

I get this error with all the options in the administrator under components -> galleria.

All of the files are in the administrator/components/com_galleria folder

I'll try to install your component on a fresh mambo installation.

[msalcher]

i just made up some changes
and fixes several bugs
new version now online

Attention Link changed
Here the new one Get it (http://godlie.bios.at/stuff/mambo/com_galleria_v0.1.zip)

fixed bugs:
--broken links are fixed
--added function (if no pics available show only text)

updated

[Edi]

ok...tested it...
I found the following issues:

1. you should change some words, like when you add a picture, it says: Kommentar,Datei,Kategorie instead of Comment (or Description if you want), Date, Category. Also, replace every Categorie word with Category.
2. it doesn't work to add .png files (.gif works , i'll test more tomorrow)
3. when I choose show pictures,i doesn't display the pictures, just a blank page. Same with edit picture and del pictures.
4. if I have no pictures in a category and I choose Show Categories, it displays a small thumbnail, that pic showed when no picture found or the link to the picture is broken.


PS: Tested on Internet Explorer 6 SP1 and Mambo 4.5 (1.0.5) using your last version.
I'll test more in a few days...try to fix these.

[msalcher]

so thanks for the errors or bugs or misstyped words
i updatet several things
the png support is now working
other types like JPG and GIF are already implemented.
the only thing that doesn't work atm is the rotate function
but will working tonight

Attention new version online
link is a few threads ahead

Update
New: rotation function now works fine

mfg

[Edi]

ok...I've downloaded it.
I'll take a look tomorrow, I hope.

[msalcher]

oh thats bad cause i uploaded the newest version with many bugfixes at this moment
if you have time check it out

mfg a. thx

[msalcher]

something that would be interessting
how many people are now testing my script ?
i've seen 208visits and only 3 to 5 men are writing something
can you tell me whats going on ?

[Edi]

you got lucky :)
i have the new version now.

hint: try to rename the version so i can see what version i have.
e.g. add a letter after it... 0.1a, 0.1b, and so on...

[msalcher]

oh sorry i forget about it to rename all the files
now all the fiels are accesable over
Look here (http://godlie.bios.at/stuff/mambo/)
the v0.1a is the newest
i'll try to build in an batch function today
but not sure if its working
hope you find no more bugs :)

if there are any ideas to how to change the layout or how things better would work plz tell me and i will try to realize it if there are neccessary.

mfg a thx

When I install your component I get

Warning: mkdir() failed (Permission denied) in /srv/www/htdocs/***/html/mambo/administrator/components/com_galleria/install.galleria.php on line 14
Warning: Unable to access ../images/stories/galleria in /srv/www/htdocs/***/html/mambo/administrator/components/com_galleria/install.galleria.php on line 15
Warning: chmod failed: No such file or directory in /srv/www/htdocs/***/html/mambo/administrator/components/com_galleria/install.galleria.php on line 15

Is this a problem because I have a safe mod on hoster?

[msalcher]

oh this seems to be a permissions problem you have to set chmod 777 on /images/stories

mfg

[Heart]

Ok, install works fine now but when I would like to add a categorie or add a picture I get this 3 lines:

Warning: open_basedir restriction in effect. File is in wrong directory in /srv/www/htdocs/***/html/mambo/administrator/components/com_galleria/admin.galleria.php on line 11
Warning: open_basedir restriction in effect. File is in wrong directory in /srv/www/htdocs/***/html/mambo/administrator/components/com_galleria/admin.galleria.php on line 12
Warning: open_basedir restriction in effect. File is in wrong directory in /srv/www/htdocs/***/html/mambo/administrator/components/com_galleria/admin.galleria.php on line 13
The input-field is shown anyway. When I save a new Category I get more errors like:
Warning: SAFE MODE Restriction in effect. The script whose uid is 1040 is not allowed to access ../images/stories/galleria owned by uid 30 in /srv/www/htdocs/***/html/mambo/administrator/components/com_galleria/admin.galleria.php on line 325
.....
however a safe mode on thing?

[keliix06]

Your errors appear to be safe mode related. You can download a safe mode "patch" here:

http://invictones.com/Mambo%204.5%20Safemode%20Patch%20v1.3.4.zip

but I highly recommend finding a host the has safe mode turned off if you will be running a Mambo site. Many fewer headaches in the long term.

[Heart]

Problem is I allready have installed this patch and get this error anyway!

[keliix06]

Then I'd look into option number 2 ;)

[compufix]

Hi,
you need to modify the httpd.conf at the server, where you run your Mambo.

Look for the line in your vhost, beginning with "php_admin_value open_basedir" and delete this line.

Next, put in your vhost:
php_admin_value safe_mode Off

After that restart the apache server and everything is working fine.

If you need a hoster where this is working well, get me a message.

I got it.
Installaion was smoth.
But there is no option to display pics horizontaly
actualy they are just in vertical order and spaces betwen them are to big

And how about option to upload more than 1 pic at a time?
This is the feature that everyone on Mambo is looking for!

Just sugestions I hope you don't mind

Tumbnails would be good too.

you mean that you can't choose the way how the Categories are shown.
will be added in the next version.

the option of multiple fileupload is an hard thing.
without an 3rd party script (Jupload) it isn't realisable
i would have to talk to the developer of Jupload so that
i know if i am allowed to use it for my gallery.
otherwise there could be a solution in uploading pics manually
over ftp. an then let the script un the rest.

what would you suggest ?

[Uncletaz]

Well i downloaded it, going to install it now....you will hear from me soon...

Ok here are the following errors i get when using the gallery:


When trying to upload the same picture in another categorie, i get the error "already uploaded picture". That is strange when i just deleted the picture in the delete picture option. This means that deleting items will result in items still being in the gallery directory (images/stories/galleria/1/).
when trying to delete the right picture, i accedentally deleted the wrong picture. The word "delete" should be related to the right item (make sure a user will not make a mistake).
after uploading a picture i clicked "back", but it went back to the administrator standard window. It would be better if it went back to upload the next picture (saves time and clicks).


That's all for now, maybe i will test it more later... ;)

[msalcher]

oh
yes there is an problem but i already fixed it !
so i got an mail today from the people wich develop Jupload.
i can use their engine.
and so i will release an new version of the gallery with already
builtin multiple file upload !
i hope this will work till today evening.

[msalcher]

so i can now present you after a hard day
version v1.0b with upload function (java needed) available !

Link (http://godlie.bios.at/stuff/mambo/)
com_galleria_v1.0b.zip <-- this file is it !

hf and plz tell me about problems

[remedy]

okay, i took a peek at that 1.0b..

1) yuk, that java-upload like in z00m is back again once more.. okay, i can deal with it. but why not let just choose a dir on the client and then bring up a second screen with all picture-files in that directory, sothat the user can then decide what to upload? would be so easy..

2) why not just create some decent navigation/level/category editor? always those just-one-level navigations.. that's the minus criterium for so many gallery systems.. bad bad bad..
you REALLY should think about that! just take the mambo-mainmenu editor as example, just looks nice.

the rest seems to be okay sofar.. i'll report further when javaapplet finally has uploaded the pictures..

that's about all for now..


bye,
remedy

[msalcher]

hm i don't understand your thread !
can you please descripe the problem on an other way ?

[Edi]

hmm... I had no computer for a few days... sorry.
I won't have time this week to test it, but I see you have other testers too :)

[msalcher]

yeah but i don't hear anything about the new release of mine
i implemented the multiple upload thing.
and now i already got an watermarking thing in test.
but i don't know how i should solve all the things
maybe i got a little bit of time next weekend or this weekend
here the demo of my watermark system Link (http://godlie.cybton.net/dev/mambo/)
