Hallo, I installed G2 (march 17th ... I'm impressed) and it's stable and fast(!). Is there a way to change the HTML markup ... e.g. another DOCTYPE and HTML-Tag? Regards Ulrike PHP Version 4.2.2 |

Hi Ulrike,
my Name is Jens. I am responsible for all translation related things in G1.
I am not developing G2, but i made the current G2 german translation file.
Can you exactly tell me what you did ?
Also which browser on which OS you use.
Regards,
Jens
P.S.: Falls du möchtest, geht das ganze natürlich auch in deutsch, dann aber bitte per Mail. jens at peino . de

For this question, look in templates/global.tpl. This is the wrapper around all G2 pages.

Hi Ulrike,
i did some Test on my G2 installation.
Everything worked fine.
My G2 is on a SuSE 9 with PHP 4.3.3.
On clientside i tested with NS7.1 and IE 6 on Windows XP
Gruß,
Jens

Hallo Jens,
translation files are fine – no trouble. Only information provided to an item by the user, e.g. title, description and user comments show up mal formed Umlaute.
I changed title and descriptions of items on the Mac (OS X 10.2/3 and 9.2.1) and on the PC (Windows MX and Windows 2000).
"Rückseite von Schloss Bloemersheim mit Teich und BootshðËuschen"
Using content type charset=iso-8859-1 does'nt help.
Sorry I insist on this boring peas: Besides the global html-wrapper there are more tags I would like to change: border=0 in img-Tags is depriciated in HTML 4 and we need accesskeys.
My Server is some Linux amdsim7, PHP 4.2.2

fyi: I published an article about online image databases in a german magazine (digit! ... for professional photographers ... www.digit.de) and it mentions gallery (1.4.2) besides commercial applications like Albinator, blue.media ....

Malformed Umlauten? That shouldn't happen.
"ü" is ü which are the raw binary values for the UTF-8 encoding of ü. Either Gallery is not properly translating the UTF-8 input into entities or UTF-8 encoded characters are being returned in an ISO-8859 workspace. Did you enter these values into a Gallery2 form or did you migrate a Gallery1 gallery?
Would it be possible to look at your Gallery2 installation? If you don't want to make your URL public, you may email me or pm me. Did you make any modifications? What browsers are you using? Are you using apache? What database are you using? What version is it?
Ich spreche nur wenig Deutsch, aber ich bin der Zar des UTF-8.

I checked in a change last night that should fix things for users of php older than 4.3.0. Please let me know if it works for you. Thanks!

Learned a lot about CVS this morning – but is there a client cvs-login for Gallery2?
Also tried the ...current.tar.gz and the ...27-03.tar.gz, but tar delivers an error message on untaring and stuffit as well.
Or where and how could I use the "galleryadd.pl"?
"Real Majesty is taking care of of the little dots"?
Deeply impressed. Ulrike

You mean an anonymous login to cvs? Yes, there is.
Did you try downloading from here?
http://www.fw2.net/files/gallery/
Did you try both the zip and the tar.gz versions?
You can use galeryadd.pl on Gallery1. You need perl and a handful of CPAN modules to run it.

I replaced all gallery s by gallery2
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.Gallery.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/gallery login
but wasn't allowed to enter
Downloaded from http://jpmullan.com/galleryupdates/, tar.gz Versions only. Stuffit (it's the Mac's "Winzip") used to be unrelible on zips. I prefer tar on command line.
But there were no problems with the 29th-tar.gz.
But ... what I realy wanted to say: 12 dots and an "ß" say "Thank you Sire".
29th is up and Düsseldorf und Ulrike Häßler don't need aliases any more.

cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.Gallery.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/gallery login
cvs co gallery2
if you are using a nightly build from me, you might be able to go into that directory and just do
cvs update
because I'm pretty sure that I build it with the CVS stuff right in there

Ah ... that looks better.
I guess I'll let Gallery2 working for some week, before I take a look for the next step. I saw that every "current Version" was a notable step and somethink new or better (no more error messages on logout! and image blocks).
Now it's time to think about a little bit of personal design allthough I like the current design from Sparta.
I'll be back.
