I just upgraded to G3 RC1 from my G2.3 and a few problems afterward.

Worst of all...
1. It appears ordinary users do not have permission to edit their own albums after they have created one. Admin has to set it after the album is created. Or I set global permission in the whole gallery to let users edit.

2. Disabling the slideshow module does not disable the dark lightbox effect when a photo is clicked.... annoying.

Lightbox when embedded (in Joomla) looks bad if on a page with many photos ... you have to scroll down several hundred pixels to find a pic in the blackness.

Minor
3. After import of G2 some albums were not in the same order as they were in G2.

4. More template adjusting options would be nice... I have to go beyond 1000 pixels width to get it in Joomla.

That is by design. If you want a different behavior you can try a different theme.

no sign of registration success or error. no verification email sent.

Why do some items import with number extensions on them when importing from g2->g3? For instance I have a file in my g2 called

./2004/LizBirthdayParty/Liz-Only-Birthday.jpg
but when I imported it into g3 it got named
./2004/LizBirthdayParty/Liz-Only-Birthday-1677599764.jpg

I'm trying to validate that all of my pictures made it over to g3 successfully by comparing files on the filesystem and found a few discrepancies like this, but only on certain images.

I hope that somebody who can do it will bring to work Pedro Gilberto wonderful themes: PG theme and the other one. This was only theme that made me interested in gallery project and gallery 3 would be good choice if PG themes will work with it. Thanks.

Maybe you should consider asking Pedro yourself? It is unlikely he is reading this news story but he runs a very active web site.

patrick

After a longer time i install now the RC1 and hey, it's looking very nice. Most things are working great and it's absolutely fast. Gallery3 start's in a very good future.

What can be better?
- More perm. options like special settings for some users (at the moment it's very global and i must create a group for a special access). If i would open/show one album in a subfolder for only one client, i must setup at the moment a new group for him. But from time to time this will be very hard to manage. In G2 the way to setup perm. was absolutely perfect
- Better management/options for the sidebar. I didn't would show up the random image on each page (that's why i hate the "widgets", i can't control them manually)
- No voting-plugin per default????
- "View more information" button for an image is placed at least after all widgets for the sidebar. Why not under meta? Why i can't rearrange it?
- Opening the options for a folder/image in default template is to sensitive. Pls. make a delay time or make it clickable. This makes me totally crazy man ;-)
- I miss an option to make a image in a subfolder to the default pic for the main-folder. I can only make an image to default for the sub and than i can make this image from the default sub to an default image for the mainfolder
- It would be nice if some popup-menus are will be closed when i click on some place of the page like the full image size. The "View more information" box is a good example for that what i mean. I must click on the X top close it or pushing esc.

That's all for the moment... So again, keep up the good work. I know that this project is a very big step. In the past i saw how long time it consume to realize phpBB3.

With each release you will need to upgrade.

Impossible to install Gallery3 RC1. I've have the following message :
"The server encountered an unexpected condition which prevented it from fulfilling the request.
The script had an error or it did not produce any output. If there was an error, you should be able to see it in the error log".

I didn´t get any error with the gallery 3 Beta.

Any idea ?

It doesn't, never has. That effect is completely and totally separate from the slideshow module. The standard theme does not depend on anything that doesn't ship with Gallery.

If you want it to behave differently you'll need to find a different theme, create one yourself, or wait for someone to create one.

Problems with edit and modify:
1. Modify is stubbornly insisting I order albums by date uploaded.
Freezes and will not update when saved as sorted by file name.
2. Kohana error after renaming a URL address. It did the renaming but looks like it was still looking for the old one afterwards to reload.

Hey wait, you're an admin! We can tell you stuff.

@modify: I don't see that behavior in the 3 installs I have tested. Please start a new thread about this an your other issue in the forums giving steps to reproduce.

Looks good!

Anyone up to building a cmsms module to easily embed gallery 3 into it?

Chris

No, GR currently doesn't work with G3.

However, G3 has a new uploader that makes uploading multiple files much easier and I believe there are plans to either make GR work with G3 or make some other remote like application. I don't know when that'll happen, I just know we're focusing on just getting G3 in good working order and released first.

The remote code I wrote is unfortunately just a stub. I think that we should reimplement Gallery Remote on top of the REST interface instead and ditch the old remote API.

Problems? Check gallery3/var/logs
bugs/feature req's | upgrade to the latest code | use git

Great upgrade. I need to be able to give permissions to a specific folder or sub-album, without giving that permissions for the entire album or website. I also need a means of designating a "primary" image for a specific album.

Do you have an estimate on when the final version will arrive?

I have a problem, when i upload album without photos and there is no phothos thumbnails at all, the search engine trying to find .album.jpg. If it possible to create some default file that search engine dont search file that don`t exist

Sounds like a problem with the graphics processor that you have installed. Check Admin > Settings > Graphics.

callingshotgun,
REST is in development now. Stay tuned for more docs as time permits.

I figured what the common issue for certain environments are.

If you are running it under a directory, e.g. www.zeighy.net/PHOTOS, then you need to edit the .htaccess file and properly set the RewriteBase item near the end of the file.

However, if you will be running it under a subdomain, e.g. photos.zeighy.net, then you don't need to edit the .htaccess file and it will work out of the box.

If you fail to check this carefully, it will work (kinda) but will fail to get you the admin pages and such. You'll get that error page with

Kohana_Exception [ Framework Error ]: The requested views, **page here**, could not be found

or

Kohana_404_Exception [ Page Not Found ]: The page you requested, **page here**, could not be found.

Just a suggestion to the devs, can you add a system to detect if they are accessing the gallery under a directory or if it's the top level for the domain or subdomain. Kinda like how wordpress works, so that it can work out of the box. Or at least advice during the installation to properly address this issue before they completely deploy or use the gallery.

Oh, and good job! Work sweet from here. However I'm waiting for the final release before fully re-deploying my image gallery at www.zeighy.net/photos

Looks great guys!

I've noticed some minor with Gallery 3-RC1

- Extranets (directories on the webserver that are password protected via .htaccess) won't work with the flash-uploader (darn: flash!)
- all admin panels throw 404 over here, clean install in a random folder [fixed via .htaccess]
- Did I notice Gallery to connect to menalto.com when installing a language file? I don't like socket connections...
