First time I've used gallery and I've jumped in there with 3.0 beta 1, initial comments are that it looks very slick and well done. Is there any guidance on modifying themes available yet?
Just one criticism so far - the login form is kinda ugly and the fields are massive!

I was going to post this as a bug, but I thought I'd float it here first to see if anyone has had a similar experience:
Similar to Ticket #308 on the bug site, Gallery refuses to acknowledge that my install of ImageMagick exists (I upgraded to the most recent version just to make sure).
It works perfectly for Gallery 2. I've even edited the graphics toolkit path to match but still no dice.
This was tested on Mac OS X Server 10.5.6 using Gallery 3.0 Beta 1.
The lack of a usable graphics toolkit (gd isn't included by default in OS X Server and all the hacks to coax it in have failed me) means that I can't really use this product until it is resolved.
Is the feature to have multiple resize-resolutions planned for inclusion by 3.0 final, or is that out for the time being?
Multi resizes are not planed due to complexaty. That does not mean that the community will come up with some module to do this. Perhaps in a later release after G3.0

No guide as of yet. Care to take a shot at helping out?
You can customize the theme to your liking if the fields are a bit big. The 2 fields for loggin in seem fine to me. They are a slight bit bigger than normal forms but not what I would call massive. Perhaps you have a custom font on your browser or a + font size?

Ah, okay. I may just have to batch resize images before uploading them then.

I would love to be able to help out, but alas I am not proficient in the necessary programming skills to be of use (I really wish I was). But if I can help out by trying it out, reporting bugs or anything I would certainly do that.

I was looking to get new gallery software and gallery 3.0 seems to be just the ticket... I've had a little difficult uploading stuff from my old gallery software, as the "add photo" option just pops up and only offers me a "done" or "cancel" option. That's using the latest build of Firefox, the only way I can seem to upload photos is by clicking the "additional options" button before I enter gallery.
Also, while I am on shared hosting - seven seconds seems a bit long for a page to load... anyway way I can improve on that?

@Suddenly_Dead: I suspect that we're not going to add multiple resizes because it complicates the UI and the underlying code for very little practical gain. Can you tell us a little bit about why it's a useful feature for you?
@sjd333: We don't yet have good theme docs, but there are docs linked from http://codex.gallery2.org/Category:Gallery_3 that you can look at. More coming! Also, can you post a screenshot of the login form ugliness? We'll fix that (but I don't see the ugly so I need to know what to fix!)
@Demonhood: What's the path to your imagemagick binaries? My guess is that they're not on the path for your webserver, which is a configuration setting for Apache.. but if we know the path we can at least try looking there also.
@ProphetTenebrae: Do you have flash enabled in your browser? The uploader is flash based. 7 seconds is a *very very* long load time. You should be seeing sub-second responses.. can you provide a link to your Gallery 3? My guess is that we're loading a lot of additional assets (js, css, images, etc) that are slow on your site, but I can verify this remotely too.

The same path that I use for my Gallery 2 install.

Sure. I prefer to keep at least a couple resizes; the lower resolution one loads more quickly and will show up without scrollbars on most screens; the higher resolution is useful if users want to see more detail or use the image as a wallpaper or something. I'd rather not grant access to the actual fullsize images because of copyright paranoia and bandwidth.
Again, I can batch resize/watermark the images before uploading them, it just takes a bit of extra effort, and I'll need to keep another copy of the fullsize images on the server for backup purposes.

sjd333, Looks like you are not getting the css files that controls this.
You can verify this with firebug or the webdev tool in fire fox.
or post a url, the screen shot is a bit small to read the url./
When I click on a photo in a gallery is is always photo zero of $number_of_photos, Previous is unavailable and
Next always points at the first photo on the gallery.
There's nothing related to this in my logs, and I can reliably replicate this. Is this happening for anyone else?

That's the same reason as i have.
I have a small image 700x525 which fits nicely into an 800x600 browser and is fast to load.
I also have a large image that users can view if they want a larger version to view details, etc.
I don't keep the original (3888 x 2592, ~6mb) for space reasons as i have over 20,000 photos online.
Of these I require them all to be watermarked.

It appears to be a problem with sorting by capture date. Works if I sort by Creation Date or Title.

@Demonhood: I just committed a change to detect binaries in /usr/local/bin -- please try again with the latest code.
@sjd333: please try with the latest code-- that page now looks much better.
@Suddenly_Dead: We may eventually support resizes (and it can also be done in a 3rd party module) but right now it's not high on our priority list. Please create a ticket for it and we'll look into it.
Uploaded the new files and got nothing but a blank screen. Fair enough i thought becase the config files got overwritten. So i delete everything, empty the database and start from scratch. i then uploaded some photos and they don't display.

That did the trick. Many thanks.
Ha. Just noticed that I've been registered here for almost 7 years. Crazy how the time flies.
My installation is writing the URLs with "cgi-system" instead of the directory in which I have gallery3-beta-1. For example, the login URL is "http://mydomain.com/cgi-system/index.php/login/ajax" but should be "http://mydomain.com/pics/index.php/login/ajax." The cgi-system links 404. What am I missing?
Thanks so much! I replaced the beta-1 with the experimental and now it's rockin. Thanks!

Solved.
Disregard original email below: I figured out the issue. I had a "deny all" set in my htaccess file for various things like comment and bak type files. Also in that same setting was a deny all for ".ini" files. That seemed to be the issue. Once I removed that setting then all worked fine (along with having buttons I didn't know existed!).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I had tried the alpha builds and had this problem and figured I would wait until the beta to see if this was fixed. But, it does not..so here is the issue:
Basically, anything that requires input and then enter button of some sort will not actually complete the task. For example, to login as admin, if I click the link and then put in the applicable information I get a white blank page that only has this:
{"result":"success"}
If I try to change a password or other information, it will give this type of page (white, with no other action):
Also, the photo upload doesn't seem to work. Selecting the "Select Photo's" button works, and opens a dialog box. I select the photo to upload and then the window closes but it just goes back to the upload screen with no uploading. The only button highlighted is "Done" and selecting that also does not result in an upload start. Adobe flash player installed is 10,0,2,54. On the Alpha versions, with the simple uploader, I was able to upload photos so it is something with the newer method.
I have tried on Firefox 3 and IE 7 and 8 with same results.
I have had Gallery 2 running for quite some time on this same server with no issues. The server is:
Apache 2.2.11 (Unix)
MySQL version = 5.0.77-community
Operating system = Linux
PHP version=5.2.9
Any thoughts on the issue?

@AndrewRH: the upgrader instructions only apply *after* beta 1. If you're installing beta 1 on top of an alpha, you have to start all over again. I'll make this clear in the documentation.
For clarity: I had wiped out completely all alphas (files and database). This was a clean installation of beta-1.
1. remove index.php/ , already said in last post.
2. Why don't change Volkswagen_Golf_Variant_02.jpg to Volkswagen_Golf_Variant_02.html

Why use "?show=x" ? why don't direct to parent album?

@bigu_c: 1) http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/gallery/ticket/418 2) that's what we did in Gallery2 and it caused some controversy. I suspect that we're going to change the format to get the filename out of the url and use the title field instead which would mean that it'd just be "http://example.com/gallery3/cars/Volkswagen_Golf_Variant" without .jpg or .html
And we use ?show=x so that when we redirect you to the parent, we can figure out what page to put you on. Go to an album with 30 photos, browse to page 3, click on a random photo. Now click back up in the navbar and you'll see that it takes you back to page 3. There are two ways of doing that. 1) we calculate the outer album's page all the time (expensive) or 2) we tell the outer album which item must be visible with the show parameter and let it pick the right page.
I installed the Beta 1 release last night, and I am definitely impressed by the progress so far. It really is starting to come together well. In my testing, I came across three issues:
1) I tried installing from Git last night, but installation failed with an error that the table "databasename.users" did not exist. I know that the mysql connection info was correct, because I tried to use the wrong password once and got an error that the password was incorrect. I know that permissions were not an issue, because I tried using my root mysql user one time to eliminate any possible permissions issues. I gave up on Git and went with the official Beta 1 release, which installed without any trouble using a regular (non-root) mysql user account.
2) When I look at the exif data on my photos, I find that the shutter speeds are shown as odd fractions. For example, a photo that G2 shows as having a shutter speed of 1/720 sec appears in G3 as 13/9413 sec. If you do the math, you can see that the G3 value is probably correct, but I don't understand where it is coming from. I certainly don't want to show values like 51/9232 (another real example from my G3 test site). For the record, this was also an issue in previous releases of G3 -- I just did not report it at the time because I knew the exif module was in the very early stages.
3) I also notice that the GPS:Latitude and GPS:Longitude exif tags from my G2 images don't appear in G3. I realize that there is no Geotagging module built into G3, but I would still expect these exif tags to be captured and displayed. If any one actually develops a Geotagging module, they will need access to this data from the images.

@pinn8: 1) I can't reproduce that problem. Do you think you could try again to reproduce it? If we can reproduce it we can fix it... For 2) and 3) would you please file feature requests? We can prioritize and take care of those issues.
It is a known issue that the tag cloud sidebar module is ignoring spaces? My keywords in my G2 gallery are separated by spaces, but in the G3 tag cloud the entire string shows up as a single tag. For example, in G2, a photo might be tagged with "dog schnauzer jeff" and in the G3 tag cloud the "tag" is that entire string, instead of the three separate words. Maybe this is my misunderstanding of tags vs. keywords?

The problem is that in G2, we didn't define a separator so some folks used spaces, some used commas or semicolons. If we split on spaces, then folks who used commas, etc. are sad. Please file a ticket for this and we'll try to figure out a solution that fits everybody.

So what is G3 splitting on? I updated my keywords in my G2 site via SQL to replace all the spaces with commas and then re-imported it and I still got the long multi-word tags (with spaces).

Um. Oops, it looks like we're not splitting on *anything*. I guess I didn't think through that very well. What should we split on? Hm. I'll try the approach that if there is a comma or a semicolon in the keywords I'll split on that, else I'll split on spaces. What do you think? I filed this ticket: http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/gallery/ticket/446
I can see how deciding on that could be problematic, but I think your approach is sound. Thanks for the info!

Split on spaces and write a note to everyone to say use underscore or no spaces to join 2 worded tags.

I took the approach I outlined above. Get the latest code and try it out. If you've already imported your G2, you'll need to delete everything and start over (sorry!).

Yup, it worked! My tag cloud looks much better now (it was comma-separated in G2 since I updated all the spaces to commas via SQL earlier this week).

Just had user of a gallery I've migrated from G2 to G3 tell me he could log in, but couldn't see option for adding photos etc.
I tried w his username, password; indeed nothing looked different to when he wasn't logged in (other than "logged in as..." at top of screen, which gave his full name rather than username).
As a temporary solution, made him an admin.
Looked at user/group management. Figured maybe I could create a group, for Photo Contributors: did so, but didn't see options for permissions: to come later?
Noticed my users include many spammers who'd at least started sign up (with G2?); need pruning. Right now, seems no way of selecting n deleting multiple users. Hopefully this will come too.
The drag n drop function for users looks nifty, but could become cumbersome w many users. Here, too, multiple select could be handy at times.
Also, tried the login on Safari (Mac) just now; didn't work. Moving from one page to another, appears to logout. But when try things like upload photo, or logout, get a "Dang!" error message.

Wow, this looks fantastic! simple, clean and powerful - thank you so much! G2-Import worked smoothly on my test-site, although there seems to be a problem with the sort order. Choosing "Creation date" will only show two pictures of the entire album - the first and the last one. This refers to the photo-view-mode, the thumbnails are correct.
It would also be nice, if there was a possibility to turn off the watermark on thumbnails.

@DocMartin: the g2->g3 upgrader does not migrate permissions yet (there's a warning about this on the G2 Import settings page). If you can reproduce the other issues with the latest code, would you please file bugs for them? See my sig for links to latest code & bugs.
Thanks, Bharat. Maybe just rushed to do the upgrade, not considering re what this meant re permissions.
Still can't see way to edit group permissions, or for multiple user editing.
Safari login not working, even w latest code; filed bug report re this.
Very good to see the <head> page titles w latest code!

have to be honest, between v2 and v3, a lot less pain. impressed so far. what i would love to see is some face tagging ability like they have in facebook...then i would not have to use facebook for images ever again...
i like the ability to tag so i can quickly find all the photos with Bubba in them...
had been looking (not too hard, have to admit) for an open source utility to allow this for some time now...
@bharat: Glad you could fix this issue. Another question: Automatically created thumbnails look bad in many cases. I have created almost a thousand special thumbnails in G2 - will this great feature be part of G3 - and will the importer grab this data?

Even though I've set the image quality to 100 (instead of 75 as default), the images get compressed (I suspect it's caused by running the image through GD or similar). I would really appreciate it if I had the possibility to bypass image processing on the full size image (the processing on the thumbnails etc. is okay in my opinion). Or is this possible already and I don't see it?

More work with URLs will come.
Multi resizes are not planed due to complexaty. That does not mean that the community will come up with some module to do this. Perhaps in a later release after G3.0
No guide as of yet. Care to take a shot at helping out?
You can customize the theme to your liking if the fields are a bit big. The 2 fields for loggin in seem fine to me. They are a slight bit bigger than normal forms but not what I would call massive. Perhaps you have a custom font on your browser or a + font size?

When I click on a photo in a gallery is is always photo zero of $number_of_photos, Previous is unavailable and
Next always points at the first photo on the gallery.
There's nothing related to this in my logs, and I can reliably replicate this. Is this happening for anyone else?

That's the same reason as i have.
I have a small image 700x525 which fits nicely into an 800x600 browser and is fast to load.
I also have a large image that users can view if they want a larger version to view details, etc.
I don't keep the original (3888 x 2592, ~6mb) for space reasons as i have over 20,000 photos online.
Of these I require them all to be watermarked.

It appears to be a problem with sorting by capture date. Works if I sort by Creation Date or Title.

@Demonhood: I just committed a change to detect binaries in /usr/local/bin -- please try again with the latest code.
@sjd333: please try with the latest code-- that page now looks much better.
@Suddenly_Dead: We may eventually support resizes (and it can also be done in a 3rd party module) but right now it's not high on our priority list. Please create a ticket for it and we'll look into it.
@elw00d: thanks.. we're tracking that here: http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/gallery/ticket/389

Uploaded the new files and got nothing but a blank screen. Fair enough i thought becase the config files got overwritten. So i delete everything, empty the database and start from scratch. i then uploaded some photos and they don't display.

That did the trick. Many thanks.
Ha. Just noticed that I've been registered here for almost 7 years. Crazy how the time flies.

My installation is writing the URLs with "cgi-system" instead of the directory in which I have gallery3-beta-1. For example, the login URL is "http://mydomain.com/cgi-system/index.php/login/ajax" but should be "http://mydomain.com/pics/index.php/login/ajax." The cgi-system links 404. What am I missing?

@Eleazar: I believe this is fixed in the latest code.. try a new version (instructions below)

Solved.
Disregard original email below: I figured out the issue. I had a "deny all" set in my htaccess file for various things like comment and bak type files. Also in that same setting was a deny all for ".ini" files. That seemed to be the issue. Once I removed that setting then all worked fine (along with having buttons I didn't know existed!).

I installed Gallery3 beta 1, and set a URL to its path like this: http://gallery.reeves-hall.net/
I then tried following the upgrader instructions. So, I typed in http://gallery.reeves-hall.net/index.php/upgrader
That's when I got this crash--
Dang... Something went wrong! We tried really hard, but it's broken. Hey wait, you're an admin! We can tell you stuff. Ok.. tell me stuff! Help! If this stuff doesn't make any sense to you, ask for help in the Gallery forums! So here's the error: The page you requested, , could not be found. File: system/core/Kohana.php, line: 841 And here's how we got there: * Kohana::show_404( ) * system/core/Event.php [209]: call_user_func_array( Array ( [0] => Kohana [1] => show_404 ) , Array ( [0] => ) ) * system/libraries/Router.php [163]: Event::run( system.404 ) * Router_Core::setup( ) * system/core/Event.php [209]: call_user_func_array( Array ( [0] => Router [1] => setup ) , Array ( [0] => ) ) * system/core/Bootstrap.php [49]: Event::run( system.routing ) * index.php [72]: require( system/core/Bootstrap.php )~Andrew~

@AndrewRH: the upgrader instructions only apply *after* beta 1. If you're installing beta 1 on top of an alpha, you have to start all over again. I'll make this clear in the documentation.

For clarity: I had wiped out completely all alphas (files and database). This was a clean installation of beta-1.

1. remove index.php/ , already said in last post.
2. Why don't change Volkswagen_Golf_Variant_02.jpg to Volkswagen_Golf_Variant_02.html

Navbar:
Why use "?show=x" ? why don't direct to parent album?
Posts: 7985
@bigu_c: 1) http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/gallery/ticket/418 2) that's what we did in Gallery2 and it caused some controversy. I suspect that we're going to change the format to get the filename out of the url and use the title field instead which would mean that it'd just be "http://example.com/gallery3/cars/Volkswagen_Golf_Variant" without .jpg or .html
And we use ?show=x so that when we redirect you to the parent, we can figure out what page to put you on. Go to an album with 30 photos, browse to page 3, click on a random photo. Now click back up in the navbar and you'll see that it takes you back to page 3. There are two ways of doing that. 1) we calculate the outer album's page all the time (expensive) or 2) we tell the outer album which item must be visible with the show parameter and let it pick the right page.

I installed the Beta 1 release last night, and I am definitely impressed by the progress so far. It really is starting to come together well. In my testing, I came across three issues:
1) I tried installing from Git last night, but installation failed with an error that the table "databasename.users" did not exist. I know that the mysql connection info was correct, because I tried to use the wrong password once and got an error that the password was incorrect. I know that permissions were not an issue, because I tried using my root mysql user one time to eliminate any possible permissions issues. I gave up on Git and went with the official Beta 1 release, which installed without any trouble using a regular (non-root) mysql user account.
2) When I look at the exif data on my photos, I find that the shutter speeds are shown as odd fractions. For example, a photo that G2 shows as having a shutter speed of 1/720 sec appears in G3 as 13/9413 sec. If you do the math, you can see that the G3 value is probably correct, but I don't understand where it is coming from. I certainly don't want to show values like 51/9232 (another real example from my G3 test site). For the record, this was also an issue in previous releases of G3 -- I just did not report it at the time because I knew the exif module was in the very early stages.
3) I also notice that the GPS:Latitude and GPS:Longitude exif tags from my G2 images don't appear in G3. I realize that there is no Geotagging module built into G3, but I would still expect these exif tags to be captured and displayed. If any one actually develops a Geotagging module, they will need access to this data from the images.

@pinn8: 1) I can't reproduce that problem. Do you think you could try again to reproduce it? If we can reproduce it we can fix it... For 2) and 3) would you please file feature requests? We can prioritize and take care of those issues.

It is a known issue that the tag cloud sidebar module is ignoring spaces? My keywords in my G2 gallery are separated by spaces, but in the G3 tag cloud the entire string shows up as a single tag. For example, in G2, a photo might be tagged with "dog schnauzer jeff" and in the G3 tag cloud the "tag" is that entire string, instead of the three separate words. Maybe this is my misunderstanding of tags vs. keywords?
Posts: 7985
The problem is that in G2, we didn't define a separator so some folks used spaces, some used commas or semicolons. If we split on spaces, then folks who used commas, etc. are sad. Please file a ticket for this and we'll try to figure out a solution that fits everybody.

So what is G3 splitting on? I updated my keywords in my G2 site via SQL to replace all the spaces with commas and then re-imported it and I still got the long multi-word tags (with spaces).
Posts: 7985
Um. Oops, it looks like we're not splitting on *anything*. I guess I didn't think through that very well. What should we split on? Hm. I'll try the approach that if there is a comma or a semicolon in the keywords I'll split on that, else I'll split on spaces. What do you think? I filed this ticket: http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/gallery/ticket/446

I can see how deciding on that could be problematic, but I think your approach is sound. Thanks for the info!

Split on spaces and write a note to everyone to say use underscore or no spaces to join 2 worded tags.
Posts: 7985
I took the approach I outlined above. Get the latest code and try it out. If you've already imported your G2, you'll need to delete everything and start over (sorry!).

No worries, I'm very good at that as I've been testing that import process you've been helping me with. ;) I'll give it a shot this afternoon and let you know how it goes!

Yup, it worked! My tag cloud looks much better now (it was comma-separated in G2 since I updated all the spaces to commas via SQL earlier this week).

Just had user of a gallery I've migrated from G2 to G3 tell me he could log in, but couldn't see option for adding photos etc.
I tried w his username, password; indeed nothing looked different to when he wasn't logged in (other than "logged in as..." at top of screen, which gave his full name rather than username).
As a temporary solution, made him an admin.
Looked at user/group management. Figured maybe I could create a group, for Photo Contributors: did so, but didn't see options for permissions: to come later?
Noticed my users include many spammers who'd at least started sign up (with G2?); need pruning. Right now, seems no way of selecting n deleting multiple users. Hopefully this will come too.
The drag n drop function for users looks nifty, but could become cumbersome w many users. Here, too, multiple select could be handy at times.
Also, tried the login on Safari (Mac) just now; didn't work. Moving from one page to another, appears to logout. But when try things like upload photo, or logout, get a "Dang!" error message.

Wow, this looks fantastic! simple, clean and powerful - thank you so much! G2-Import worked smoothly on my test-site, although there seems to be a problem with the sort order. Choosing "Creation date" will only show two pictures of the entire album - the first and the last one. This refers to the photo-view-mode, the thumbnails are correct.
It would also be nice, if there was a possibility to turn off the watermark on thumbnails.

@DocMartin: the g2->g3 upgrader does not migrate permissions yet (there's a warning about this on the G2 Import settings page). If you can reproduce the other issues with the latest code, would you please file bugs for them? See my sig for links to latest code & bugs.
@ElHonkitonk: I just fixed the sort order issue. There's an open feature request for the watermark issue: http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/gallery/ticket/271

Thanks, Bharat. Maybe just rushed to do the upgrade, not considering re what this meant re permissions.
Still can't see way to edit group permissions, or for multiple user editing.
Safari login not working, even w latest code; filed bug report re this.
Very good to see the <head> page titles w latest code!

have to be honest, between v2 and v3, a lot less pain. impressed so far. what i would love to see is some face tagging ability like they have in facebook...then i would not have to use facebook for images ever again...
i like the ability to tag so i can quickly find all the photos with Bubba in them...
had been looking (not too hard, have to admit) for an open source utility to allow this for some time now...

G3 has the Polar Rose module. http://gallery.menalto.com/node/86320
You should be able to get it from http://github.com/gallery/gallery3-contrib/tree/bcf7aee864e021038bf9441d0fd7eb7d666f1dcb/modules/polar_rose

@bharat: Glad you could fix this issue. Another question: Automatically created thumbnails look bad in many cases. I have created almost a thousand special thumbnails in G2 - will this great feature be part of G3 - and will the importer grab this data?
Posts: 5
Even though I've set the image quality to 100 (instead of 75 as default), the images get compressed (I suspect it's caused by running the image through GD or similar). I would really appreciate it if I had the possibility to bypass image processing on the full size image (the processing on the thumbnails etc. is okay in my opinion). Or is this possible already and I don't see it?
