Is there a way to have Firefox remember my login info for g3? I assume since the login dialog is some fancy ajaxy thing, Firefox is not filling in the fields or prompting me to save username/password when I do login.
Saved logins is kind of a big deal for me, and probably others, who have way too many websites they log into all the time. This wouldn't be quite as big a deal if gallery didn't auto-log me out so quickly, and I don't see an easy way to set properties related to keeping me logged in.

Just use password, it'll make troubleshooting problems easier
I'm not even sure if that's something that can be done with the current implementation of how the login dialog works.
auto log you out? I've stayed logged into my G3 installs for weeks, at least I'm pretty sure I have. AFAIK there isn't a property for this (unless there's a recent change I haven't noticed yet)

@LoneShepard, nivekiam: just closed 878 as wontfix. It seems to work properly with IE, Firefox recognizes the field on input and stores it, but doesn't seem to be able to add it with dynamically added forms. such is life, full of little disappointments... maybe raise a bug with mozilla, then it might actually get fixed
Gallery 3 works very well on my desktop (Windows vista + xampp) and I am excited about features and simplicity.
For some reason images are displayed blank when I tried uploading gallery3 to my hosting account (which uses linux) looks like some kind of security issue with displaying the image files.

I mentioned this before and I will bring it up again because modules are beeing designed for G3 already
I think G3 should seperate core-modules from add-on modules in a logick way such as:
Core Modules go where they go now.
Add-no stuff goes in another folder fx. add-on/modules
All core needs to do is check for modules in both folders and add them to the modules in the site.
The reason is that the number of folders in modules increase both for core and for add-on. sooner or later files or folders with identical names exist and vital data may get overwritten. Second, keeping them separate will make sure that one folder can be edited lightly, where as the other(core) with care.
This is important to communicate to module designers now, because of paths that need to be changed. Second this will have effect on the documentation as well.

@hebhansen: Already thought of and tried, but to make that work, I was going to have to modify the Kohana framework code and we as a team are not willing to do that. So I think its safe to say that is not going to happen in the short term. Thanks for the feedback though http://www.timalmdal.com

Just a thought - Maybe an Idea to release Beta 4 and have that on the front here. Rather than pointing people to latest experimental all the time.
I have the impression that a lot was changed since beta3. Therefore the feedback here is more or less"beta4". I am not a developer, so maybe I misunderstood something.

@hebhansen: My site is still on g2 as I haven't had time to convert it to g3.
I imported my gallery 2 into this beta 3. Some of the structure is messed up. Particularly albums that were empty. I had an album with A, B, C sub albums. When I go into A sub album, the bread crumb said it was B > C > A (ie, that A was a sub album of C and C was a sub album of B) when actually all were sub albums at the same level. But the albums themselves are in their proper places, it's just the bread crumb.
Also, I run into an error when I change an album name. I hit save changes, and then I get a Not Found error. It turns out the album name was properly changed, and I'm getting a not found error for the old album. Very confusing.
In a message posted 2009-09-14 06:54 by DJ_Cyberdance, a problem with the drag and drop function (when manually reordering photos) was described. I noticed exactly the same problem. Has a solution been found meanwhile?
I love Gallery, but until ticket 666 is closed completely and the UI is working perfectly in all major browsers (especially IE, since the majority of visitors will probably use it), it's not really ready for an RC.
Also, I couldn't find an option for this, but there should be a way to toggle the URLs so that the SEO-friendly syntax is optional. I had a lot of trouble finding a solution for getting Gallery3 running on Nginx.

Maybe you could post your solution in the codex for others. We have no plans to modify gallery3 to run on any web server except apache.
Quick question - Gallery2 used to have an option to allow several different sizes of photos. Has that feature been replaced with a simple thumbnail, resized, and full size versions? If so, it would be nice to have up to 3 additional sizes. I use Gallery as a backend, but wrote my own frontend / site that pulls from Gallery, and some of the Flash slideshow pieces require specific dimensions.

By the way, I upgraded to the latest experimental and it seeems to have fixed a lot of the IE admin bugs. I tentatively shut down FF and tried it out and it seems to work much better.
Also, with Nginx, my site configuration looks like this:
server
{
# Basic Info
server_name gallery.domain.com;
root /path/to/htdocs;
listen 80;
error_log /path/to/logs/access.log
access_log /path/to/logs/access.log
location / {
index index.php index.html index.htm;
}
Has that feature been replaced with a simple thumbnail, resized, and full size versions?
Yes.

Bug / Feature request.... not quite sure..... I'm running Joomla with SEF404 installed.... basically its a plugin that rewrites the URL to make it nicer. Any way as there is not a plugin with G3 yet I've been playing with how to make it interact. Main way I have down this is by using the RSS feeds how ever within the URL index.php is used a lot. Problem with this is that it is picked up by SEF404 and as such the URL joomla pulls in is wrong.
Can we have a feature to specify the RSS name ? I'd also like to see a random image RSS feed but I this is not that important for me especially when there is a bridge ( at some point I know .
BTW I have tried copying the index file as index2.php how ever the RSS feed does not work via Joomla and if you go in via gallery and look via a browser its still pointing to index.php as a location.
If any one has any suggestions in the mean time I'd appreciate it although I do know if I copy the G3 back in to its own root dir eg /photo rather than /photo/gallery/ it will work ok.
TIA
Terran
OT - If any one is interested in Joomla I'm going RSS via Feedgator to Article then using Mini Front page to display although the images are not showing correctly there.... again may be due to the above

@ccsnet,
Right now Gallery doesn't integrate or interact with other software.

Gallery can't integrate with any other application right now, you will need to put it in it's own directory for it to function.

@nivekiam I know it doesn't integrate properly so I thought I'd have a go at using the RSS feeds which I'm using from other sites quite well. Basically if you could make the app use /galleryinstalldir/anothername.php/rss/feed/gallery/latest rather than /galleryinstalldir/index.php/rss/feed/gallery/latest etc its problem solved...
I know you have to keep index.php but I hope you see where I'm coming from because been such a minor change it could help get round the integration issue for a little while with a dead simple fix / work around....

@ccsnet: that's not a simple change, the kohana framework expects index.php there so its not going to happen. There is away, but I can't find it to remove the index.php entirely. Ahh, there it is... in the .htaccess file there are instructions on how to use rewrite to get rid of the index.php externally.
Just remembered that in application/config there is a setting that says what your index_page is called. not sure if that will do what you want, it might really screw up other things.
We realize that embedding is important, but there are also more important things like actually getting the final release finished. Then we might find some time to work on some niceties like embedding.
Thanks both - thats the kind of info I needed..... I'll post up on a thread if it works what I did so Joomla users can use G3 if they want.
Terran
EDIT - It worked.... but it also helped find my problem.... that is that the xml feed in the system was still going for the old install - doh..... any way all fixed now but handy to know the above.... G3 defo works in a sub directory though....
@ccsnet: The other thing you might want to look at is the identity driver change that was implemented a month or so ago. What this allows you do do is replace the gallery user management with another module that provides access to user/groups. In the gallery3-contrib repository, there is a LDAP module that provides read only authentication to a LDAP directory.
It would probably be a fairly easy to write a module that provides the interface into your Joomla user management, so the there would no user coordination between Joomla and gallery3.
As I understand it, not having done any embedding, the real challenge of embedding with g2 was the user password management. With G3, this issue goes away entirely.
Hi, if I'm correct, you're the one who wrote the register-module in gallery3-contrib. But when I download the ZIP (gallery-gallery3-contrib-7915ba2), the register-module isn't there. Any info about this?
Thanks!
BTW some G3 feedback: on the Admin Dashboard there is a block for Recent Comments. When a visitor posts a comment to a picture, the text and author are shown in that block, but not for which photo the comment was given. Yes, the name of the author is clickable in the Recent Comments-block, but that's an anchor and it just jumps to the top of the page. So every time I want to know about what picture a visitor has made a comment about, I have to open PhpMyAdmin to check the url in the database... I think that can be made a lot easier
After using Gallery 3 for a while I have strong suggestion to improve album and image administration. Recently I was struggling with moving few images from one gallery to other. Literally it's easier to copy them to HDD then wipe from one album and finally upload to the second one. Moving between albums is only possible for single images. The most annoying thing is that after moving of the image I am switched from album that I working on to the image destination album. Moving multiple images require to switch to desired album after each action. Its take a time and its very stressful. Why not to implement a good menu like in G2, when multiple images can be moved and and you will stay in desired album after execution of script?
By the way, why bmp format is not supported by G3? I always wonder why.

Well the tag line for Gallery is 'Your photos on Your website.'
I know no camera that has .bmp output. It was a conscious decision to limit the core support of file types to minimize the things that was done wrong in G2: code size, code complexity, upgrade paths, support, speed.....
That said, a module developer could develop a module to add support for other file types.
@m-d-d Have you tried Album options > Organize album? Select multiple photos from a selected album and drag to another album in the sidebar to move.2tbsp.com
Yes but I was under impression, that this menu is only to change sorting options. Than you for suggestion! BTW in Google Chrome you cannot grab and slide right scroll in this menu, but scrolling by mouse wheel will work.
@floridave
bmp is the worst on-line format. I do not want to argue about usability of this kind of format, but sometimes I have scanner files in bmp and I like them in my off-line gallery for archival purposes, without converting to png.

It's not the best argument... There is no camera that has .gif or .png output etcher, however some old computer Internet cameras produce screenschots in bmp only.

You said it! The scanner you have does have to option to use another format or at lease 80% do, and that is the target audience.
bigu_c: It was a conscious decision to limit the core support of multi resolutions to minimize the things that was done wrong in G2: code size, code complexity, upgrade paths, support, speed.....
That said, a module developer could develop a module to add support for multi resolutions.
When organizing an album it works fine there is not too many images in the album. I can drag and drop and move to other albums....
Sometimes the app. freezes and all of a sudden I can not move anymore. I just get a blue square over the image I want to move. I have a felling that it happens when items extend the number that fits on my screen or somewhere above a certain number. Before locking I can move items within the screen, but if I scrool down it locks. In that case I can not move first items anymore either.
Refresh does not help
Closing the browser and starting again does not help
Rebooting PC does not help
1- I can limit access to album on a per group basis, but I can not grant access on a per user basis. This is highly wished for. It's Christmas Time :-D
2- The menu layout is kind of messy once you start adding modules. Any conciderations? Flash design maybe ... iPhone inspired maybe (cover flow)?
3- Ability to place menu's where you want: Header,Footer,Sidebar,Right,Left
4- Ability to create levels of menus; Primary,Secondary and place them respectively, Prime sidebar, Second footer etc.
5- Popular tags should definately be a drop down by choice and not a permanent box
6- Tag module is wished for. Link to all tags shown on entire page. Views; most used, most viewed, alphabetical,
7- I really think core should include an empty html enabled page. Text field from admin. Content examples: Adress and map, terms and conditions, company info or persson

I don't think it should be. This is a prime example of how the community can contribute a 3rd party module or a custom theme.
I've been using beta 3 since release, and so far no big issues. The issues I have are all fixed already.
Missing a few features, but I'm sure they'll be available as plugins once gallery3 goes gold.
Anyway, how long to you plan to stay in beta?

Please read the .htaccess file that comes with G3.
Perhaps in the future there will be a configuration option for this.

Bug / Feature request.... not quite sure..... I'm running Joomla with SEF404 installed.... basically its a plugin that rewrites the URL to make it nicer. Any way as there is not a plugin with G3 yet I've been playing with how to make it interact. Main way I have down this is by using the RSS feeds how ever within the URL index.php is used a lot. Problem with this is that it is picked up by SEF404 and as such the URL joomla pulls in is wrong.
Can we have a feature to specify the RSS name ? I'd also like to see a random image RSS feed but I this is not that important for me especially when there is a bridge ( at some point I know
.
BTW I have tried copying the index file as index2.php how ever the RSS feed does not work via Joomla and if you go in via gallery and look via a browser its still pointing to index.php as a location.
If any one has any suggestions in the mean time I'd appreciate it although I do know if I copy the G3 back in to its own root dir eg /photo rather than /photo/gallery/ it will work ok.
TIA
Terran
OT - If any one is interested in Joomla I'm going RSS via Feedgator to Article then using Mini Front page to display although the images are not showing correctly there.... again may be due to the above

@ccsnet,
Right now Gallery doesn't integrate or interact with other software.
Gallery can't integrate with any other application right now, you will need to put it in it's own directory for it to function.
Someone would need to write module(s) for that functionality.

@nivekiam I know it doesn't integrate properly so I thought I'd have a go at using the RSS feeds which I'm using from other sites quite well. Basically if you could make the app use /galleryinstalldir/anothername.php/rss/feed/gallery/latest rather than /galleryinstalldir/index.php/rss/feed/gallery/latest etc its problem solved...
I know you have to keep index.php but I hope you see where I'm coming from because been such a minor change it could help get round the integration issue for a little while with a dead simple fix / work around....

@ccsnet: that's not a simple change, the kohana framework expects index.php there so its not going to happen. There is away, but I can't find it to remove the index.php entirely. Ahh, there it is... in the .htaccess file there are instructions on how to use rewrite to get rid of the index.php externally.
Just remembered that in application/config there is a setting that says what your index_page is called. not sure if that will do what you want, it might really screw up other things.
We realize that embedding is important, but there are also more important things like actually getting the final release finished. Then we might find some time to work on some niceties like embedding.

Works but only for rss feed, but that is all that was wanted right?
or just do what talmdal said and activate the rewire rules in .htaccess to remove the index.php

Thanks both - thats the kind of info I needed..... I'll post up on a thread if it works what I did so Joomla users can use G3 if they want.
Terran
EDIT - It worked.... but it also helped find my problem.... that is that the xml feed in the system was still going for the old install - doh..... any way all fixed now but handy to know the above.... G3 defo works in a sub directory though....

@ccsnet: The other thing you might want to look at is the identity driver change that was implemented a month or so ago. What this allows you do do is replace the gallery user management with another module that provides access to user/groups. In the gallery3-contrib repository, there is a LDAP module that provides read only authentication to a LDAP directory.
It would probably be a fairly easy to write a module that provides the interface into your Joomla user management, so the there would no user coordination between Joomla and gallery3.
As I understand it, not having done any embedding, the real challenge of embedding with g2 was the user password management. With G3, this issue goes away entirely.

Hi, if I'm correct, you're the one who wrote the register-module in gallery3-contrib. But when I download the ZIP (gallery-gallery3-contrib-7915ba2), the register-module isn't there. Any info about this?
Thanks!
BTW some G3 feedback: on the Admin Dashboard there is a block for Recent Comments. When a visitor posts a comment to a picture, the text and author are shown in that block, but not for which photo the comment was given. Yes, the name of the author is clickable in the Recent Comments-block, but that's an anchor and it just jumps to the top of the page. So every time I want to know about what picture a visitor has made a comment about, I have to open PhpMyAdmin to check the url in the database... I think that can be made a lot easier

@pande: I've opened an issue with github on the disappearing register module: http://github.tenderapp.com/discussions/repos/1973-source-files-missing-from-download
Thanks for pointing out the issue with the author link, but it already noted in the ticket system: http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/gallery/ticket/889

After using Gallery 3 for a while I have strong suggestion to improve album and image administration. Recently I was struggling with moving few images from one gallery to other. Literally it's easier to copy them to HDD then wipe from one album and finally upload to the second one. Moving between albums is only possible for single images. The most annoying thing is that after moving of the image I am switched from album that I working on to the image destination album. Moving multiple images require to switch to desired album after each action. Its take a time and its very stressful. Why not to implement a good menu like in G2, when multiple images can be moved and and you will stay in desired album after execution of script?
By the way, why bmp format is not supported by G3? I always wonder why.

Well the tag line for Gallery is 'Your photos on Your website.'
I know no camera that has .bmp output. It was a conscious decision to limit the core support of file types to minimize the things that was done wrong in G2: code size, code complexity, upgrade paths, support, speed.....
That said, a module developer could develop a module to add support for other file types.

@m-d-d Have you tried Album options > Organize album? Select multiple photos from a selected album and drag to another album in the sidebar to move.

Yes but I was under impression, that this menu is only to change sorting options. Than you for suggestion! BTW in Google Chrome you cannot grab and slide right scroll in this menu, but scrolling by mouse wheel will work.
@floridave
bmp is the worst on-line format. I do not want to argue about usability of this kind of format, but sometimes I have scanner files in bmp and I like them in my off-line gallery for archival purposes, without converting to png.
It's not the best argument... There is no camera that has .gif or .png output etcher, however some old computer Internet cameras produce screenschots in bmp only.
Posts: 25955
You said it!
The scanner you have does have to option to use another format or at lease 80% do, and that is the target audience.

Any way for multi resolutions?

Thanks Dave.
Here is my problem:
When I uploaded all images to the site, and I deleted first image. Then now album "Creative" doesn't have thumbnail.
Here is URL: http://www.desktopart.org

Set another one as thumbnail. ;)

Thanks.

Go inside that album. Mouseover the picture/album you want as cover and klick - choose as cover for this album

May have been mentioned before
When organizing an album it works fine there is not too many images in the album. I can drag and drop and move to other albums....
Sometimes the app. freezes and all of a sudden I can not move anymore. I just get a blue square over the image I want to move. I have a felling that it happens when items extend the number that fits on my screen or somewhere above a certain number. Before locking I can move items within the screen, but if I scrool down it locks. In that case I can not move first items anymore either.
Refresh does not help
Closing the browser and starting again does not help
Rebooting PC does not help
Both for IE8 and Chrome
all the best

Requests:
1- I can limit access to album on a per group basis, but I can not grant access on a per user basis. This is highly wished for. It's Christmas Time :-D
2- The menu layout is kind of messy once you start adding modules. Any conciderations? Flash design maybe ... iPhone inspired maybe (cover flow)?
3- Ability to place menu's where you want: Header,Footer,Sidebar,Right,Left
4- Ability to create levels of menus; Primary,Secondary and place them respectively, Prime sidebar, Second footer etc.
5- Popular tags should definately be a drop down by choice and not a permanent box
6- Tag module is wished for. Link to all tags shown on entire page. Views; most used, most viewed, alphabetical,
7- I really think core should include an empty html enabled page. Text field from admin. Content examples: Adress and map, terms and conditions, company info or persson
all the best

Please start a new thread with your expectations. I can give specific users access to albums.
Start a new thread with your issue and give some example screen-shot of existing and expected.
http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/gallery/ticket/170
File a feature request: https://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/gallery/newticket you will need to register with SF.
You will need to develop a new module to change the behavior. There is a new 3rd party module to display the tag cloud in a flash sphere.
http://codex.gallery2.org/Gallery3:Modules:tag_cloud
Sounds to me like a 3rd party community enhancement. There is already a bunch community contributed modules:
http://codex.gallery2.org/Gallery3:Modules
I don't think it should be. This is a prime example of how the community can contribute a 3rd party module or a custom theme.

I've been using beta 3 since release, and so far no big issues. The issues I have are all fixed already.
Missing a few features, but I'm sure they'll be available as plugins once gallery3 goes gold.
Anyway, how long to you plan to stay in beta?
