Gallery 2.2-RC-2 Feedback

This topic is for feedback on the second release candidate of Gallery 2.2.

[url=/gallery_2.2_RC2_released]2.2-RC-2 release announcement[/url]

hello, how can i upgrade RC1 to RC2????

thanks!

Hi there,
Will Gallery 2.2 FINALLY allow the addition of custom fields to the upload form. This seems like such a simple feature, that so many people have asked for? It will truly add value to Gallery allowing it to be opened up for so many new kinds of applications.
Thanks
Tony

Thank you guys for RC2. I just was hoping for 2 things:

1. Can the theme developers kindly make "Send as eCard" link really prominent when eCard is enabled?

My users still ask where that eCard link is (particularly in the Carbon template). The Matrix template is ok but the "Send as eCard" link should be as visible like the navigation buttons.

2. Google Adsense Module? Please!

feedback: Using the new preinstaller (2.2-rc-2), to perform a "virgin" Gallery install on my website. I edited the script to add password phrase, ftp'd it up, and then upon loading the preinstall.php wth firefox 2.0.2 and entering the password, I see this message atop the resulting page:

Notice: Use of undefined constant CURLINFO_MAXREDIRS - assumed 'CURLINFO_MAXREDIRS' in /home/roncarmi/public_html/texasarchery/preinstall.php on line 733

ignoring this and proceeding

(should I be worried? )

after a delay of 2 minutes, the browser changes from "loading..." to "done", and ws ftp shows a file in the root of the site, "gallery2.zip", of 3524 kb in size. Seems very small, I thought it would be 18+ megs, based on the file that I dl'd directly to my laptop.
I think I am going to go manual from this point, or wait til I hear from someone up here about what I have seen/experienced so far.
Does this sound like a successful process so far or am I teetering on the precipice of munge?

thank, Valiant - is the file size appropriate for the zip full install file? When I dl it manually to my local it is much larger.

Will the upload feature "from website" be included on the final release?

So what date should we look for 2.2 to be out? It took about two months for RC1 -> RC2, will it be similar for RC2 -> release?

there have been quite some changes and tasks (security audit) between rc1 and rc2, that's why it took so much time.
g2.2 final can be expected to be released in about 2 weeks.

no.

what package did you download? full, typical, development, ...? rc-2 or did you get a nightly snapshot? did you use the pre-installer?

probably insufficient memory.

FAQ: I get only a blank screen when trying to view my Gallery, what's wrong?

I got more details. The default theme is set to Matrix. I tried to rename Matrix. Gallery gets a raw display (like without any css), but when i click on "components" or "themes" in the admin, i get that error :

Error

I have install the itemadd module to get back the functionality of adding photo localy. When those picture have accents, it convert the file name to weird characters. Looking back with my ftp program, everything seems fine with the accents (é, à, etc).

I found it necessary to edit modules/core/classes/GalleryMovieItem.class to make mp4 videos play inline in Internet Explorer 7. I had to move "case 'video/mp4':" to emit an object tag for QuickTime as Windows Media Player doesn't play the video. The mp4 contained H264 video and AAC audio. This change wasn't necessary for Firefox 2.0.

png transparencies of the shadow frame don't work as perfectly in IE6 as in an current browser. that's a known issue. that's IE6.

please read: docs -> installation -> adding other components -> downloadable plugins -> experimental repository.

that's how matrix shows album blocks.
it has always been that way (since we introduced the theme block system).

some themes show blocks in different places. if you'd like to display the block in a different place in the matrix theme, you can move the code snippet (that shows the blocks) around in themes/matrix/templates/album.tpl.

for further remarks on this topic, please continue the discussion in a separate forum topic/thread. thanks.

Ok, I added this in the config.php file :
require_once(dirname(__FILE__) . '/modules/core/classes/GalleryCapabilities.class');
GalleryCapabilities::set('systemCharset', 'UTF8');

And now it works correctly. Merci valiant. I'll feedback if anything else pop up!

Multisite install log with 2.2 (current svn code as of Friday night):

Failed on step 8.

Update: Another user experienced the exact same error. Thanks for reporting, we'll investigate and fix the issue ASAP.

Looking at the code I don't see anything that would be affected by rc4, but I went ahead and tried with current 5.2.2-cvs and it failed at exactly the same point. Here is the log:

Oops, should have reloaded this page before my last comment. After an svn update it is working now. One slight issue in installing the modules. The jpegtran module spewed:

Notice: Undefined index: rotate in /XXX/modules/jpegtran/module.inc on line 224

Otherwise it installed nicely. Thanks.

Perhaps an RTFM, but I am having a hard time getting thumbnail cropping to crop square thumbnails correctly. It is confusing because the stated aspect ratio doesn't appear to refer to the thumbnail you are creating. As in:

http://lerdorf.com/crop1.png
http://lerdorf.com/crop2.png (see rectangular thumbnail top-left)

It seems counterintuitive to not get a square thumbnail out of those steps.

If instead you select a 6x4 portrait aspect ratio you get a square thumbnail that doesn't match the shown region, like this:

Just a minor observation: the DHTML album select list is a different sort order to that of the root gallery in Firefox, but in IE7 it's OK.
