Mambo 4.5.1

It appears that the 4.5.1version of gallery is missing the installation and uninstallation files for mambo.

install.gallery.php
uninstall.gallery.php

That worked. Thanks.

I've been trying to install gallery with mambo 4.5.1. I still new to this CMS and as such need help to incorporate this software.

The last time I installed a modue (Simpleboard) all I had to do was to install a new compontent adminstration > Components > Install/ Unistall. Point to the appropriate zip file and the forum was up and running.

I before I installed this zip file I did find the earlier post which said:

So I thought the problem was with the gallery.xml file which I replaced with the revised code from the above link. I then added this to existing gallery zip file and tried to install this again.

Can anyone suggest where I am going wrong?

Cheers

Hi,

I've been struggling with the installation of Gallery 1.4.4-pl4 (with netpbm) with Mambo Server 4.5.1a on Linux OS for a week or so. I have successfully installed Gallery onto my site on it's own. I then go into Mambo Administration and select Install/Uninstall Components, then install from directory, point to the <system path>/gallery/contrib/mambo directory (where I have the updated gallery.xml file as posted earlier in this thread) and click install.

this all yields "Upload new component - Error" Installation file not found:
<system path>/gallery/contrib/mambo/

Any ideas? I've tried messing around with permissions, but I think they should be ok.

Ok, here's what I've discovered (Gallery 1.4.4 and Mambo 4.5.1a)

1. Install both Gallery and Mambo and make sure they work on their own.
2. Grab the contrib/mambo folder, grab the xml file link from an earlier post and replace the xml file in the contrib/mambo folder (for this file, when you follow the link, DON'T copy and paste, do a file>save as. Not sure why but the first didn't work for me while the second did.)
3. Zip up the mambo folder
4. Log into Mambo Admin, do a components>install
5. go into Components>Gallery and put in your absolute path (if you don't know it, look in Site>Global Configuration, it's listed there) to gallery
6. Create a menu item, select component, Gallery
7. Go to your mambo page (ie not admin) and log in
8. Click on your gallery link and you should see all the admin functions

It all works well, *except* when I go to add pictures, it opens a new window and forces me to log into gallery again, where I expected it to be integrated with mambo, so something clearly isn't warking as it should. Any suggestions?

I thought the point was that it would let anyone with a certain level of permission in Mambo edit Gallery? Why would the user even need a gallery account?

I'm installing 1.5, I'll see if that sorts it out.

First, if you're downloading Gallery 1.5, use the XML file that comes with it. Don't replace it.

Second - why do you zip the folder? It's unnecessary.

Hi,

you can admin the Gallery via the Mambo frontend when logged on as a privileged user.

Hi,

login to the Mambo frontend as admin and choose the Gallery component from your menu. You should see a dropdown box "Admin options" or a link "new album".

Kai

Hey there,
My fault, all. I didn't know that one couldn't control Gallery whilst logging in via the Administrator link. Apparently, one need to log in on the website front end (and since I had originally removed the "Login Form" menu, this wasn't possible). Alas, I've added it back and will use Gallery in that fashion.

Thanks!

I am able to add photos and edit the albums easily from the front-end admin in Mambo - awesome!

When I try and access the configuration wizard I am sent to a strange login page titled "Gallery Configuration". I've tried logging in with all the admin usernames and passwords that would apply and each receives "You must log in as an administrator to edit this server's configuration." Once you embed Gallery does it turn access to the configuration wizard off? Is there a way around this?

FYI - I have Gallery storing its albums in /mamboroot/images/stories/albums so that I can access my photos in any Mambo content. This sweet tip is from the MamboForum (probably from Jim G). I wouldn't think that this would effect the config wizard but I mention it here for completeness. Otherwise this is a vanilla Mambo 4.5.1a + Gallery v1.4.4-pl4 install with the Gallery Component from gallery-addons.com.

I tried admin, in fact I tried every combination of admin and the superadmin username that I'm using in Mambo. There are no users that are recognized by the Gallery login. I verified this by trying the "email password" feature.

I looked for a userlist in the Gallery DB but there is no such thing - in fact there is no data in my Gallery DB. I looked in the .user folder in my albums location and didn't find any usernames there, either. Could they somehow have been deleted? As I mentioned, editing the Gallery while logged into the Mambo front-end works fine and I do have my album sitting inside literally inside Mambo (mamboroot/images/stories/albums/). I would like to edit my configuration and this isn't possible within Mambo as far as I can tell.

Sorry to continue the conversation in this thread...I thought this was a general Mambo thread and wasn't sure if this is a common problem.

I have a strange problem:
The first time I click on the gallry link in the browser (IE and firefox)
Gallery thrashes the layout. If I click a second time on the link
everything is ok and works till I close the browser window.

If I open another window it is the same again.

I use:
Gallery v1.4.4-pl4
Mambo4.5.1a

Gallery is installed as a component.

Any suggestions?

Thanks a lot.
The url is:

http://www.ninjutsu.at

(last link on the main menu)

I thought it could be our template, but I also assigned different ones with the same result...

Thanks for the look.
I think that was a meta tag in the html put in by the html editor.
I removed it and still with the same result.

I dont know of any other changes than the template, that we made.

I tried to use a template that was shipped with mabo for the whole site with the same result.

We use the gallery embedded inside Mambo.

Dont remember exactly how I installed the component ( was not straightforward - think I found a link to an xml file in some forum...)

The code of the component php file is the folowing:
----
/*
* $Id: gallery.php,v 1.2 2004/03/21 17:09:29 jenst Exp $
*/

defined( '_VALID_MOS' ) or die( 'Direct Access to this location is not allowed.' );
/* load the html drawing class */

$database->setQuery("SELECT * FROM #__gallery");
$param = $database->loadRowList();

/* extract params from the DB query */
$MOS_GALLERY_PARAMS = array();
foreach ($param as $curr) {
$MOS_GALLERY_PARAMS[$curr[0]] = $curr[1];
}

if (!realpath($MOS_GALLERY_PARAMS['path'])) {
echo _("Security Violation");
exit;
} else {
if (! defined("MOS_GALLERY_PARAMS_PATH")) {
define ("MOS_GALLERY_PARAMS_PATH",$MOS_GALLERY_PARAMS['path']);
}
}

print '<table width="100%" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0" border="0" align="center" class="contentpane">' . "\n<tr><td>\n";
include(MOS_GALLERY_PARAMS_PATH . 'index.php');
print "</td></tr>\n</table>\n";

?>

The problem is not quite fixed - but we found a workaround:
we included a reload the first time the galery is opended.

Not nice but it seems to work ;)

But if you are still interested in the problem, I think I can reproduce it.

Thanks for the hack. Seems like quite a few prople have this problem. You could probably quote the numbers better than I.

Cheers

I´ve problem to get that code to work for me :cry:
Is it anything I have to change in the code to work with my site?

The template file that is to be changed, is it the Mambo template or a file in the Gallery?:roll:

Think the "Hack-code" is a good way to solve the problem! :D

*Bumb*
I would appreciate if Scox, Bluebiker or Bruce-NP could get me back on track what files is to be changed.

Thanx, Scox for your reply.
But I´m a dumbass and it is still not working for me.

I´v tried to add that code at the top of my template file in mambo and a error code show:"Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING"

The same error shows if i´m adding the same code at the top of index.php in Gallery. Is it another file in Gallery that has to be changed?

In which template file are you adding that code? the mambo-template or the gallery-template?

Gallery v1 doesn't use a database at all, so that's not an issue.

*bump*
Anyone else getting the same error?

I have a couple of questions for you:

Is this the code I need to use?

if ($_GET['option']=="com_gallery" && !isset($_GET['rlcoe'])) {
if (!isset($_REQUEST['action']) || $_REQUEST['action'] != "delete") {
$goto = "Location: " . $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']. "?" . $_SERVER['argv'][0] . "&rlcoe=1";
header($goto);
}
}

Also, which document do I put this code into? Can you tell me a directory/filename to be looking for? Thanks in advance, clorox

Ok I tried this file:

/html/templates/index.html

and also my current (modified) template

/html/templates/rhuk_solarflare/index.html

and neither one worked. Can you give me the filename and directory structure I should be editing? Thanks so much!
