well, the easiest "workaround" is to clone your theme, replace all $theme.pageUrl references with hardcoded core.ShowItem .. this makes all thumbnails link to ShowItem view for that item, instead of staying in the dynamic album... then use that version of the theme for your updates album.
of course themes could have some conditional to decide which type of links to make.. don't want to overcomplicate things for themers though

I've tried the URL add-on to show only updates from a specific gallery, as described in this link:
yes, you need some 0.3.x version of Updates module (i don't remember exactly which.. 0.3.6?) for the g2_itemId parameter to be recognized.. and that version of Updates module won't work with G2.0.x

[i]Is there any way to keep the output from the current version from breaking up the rows? For some reason some of the thumbnails get moved down to their own row, so I have rows of 3, 3, 1, 3, 3, 2, instead of just 5 rows of 3. This happens in IE,
I'm not seeing it in Firefox, and haven't check Opera yet, as it's on my other machine.
if you're willing to upgrade to current svn / nightly snapshot you can try the dynamic albums module. (or anyone interested in this updates module should try/compare with dynamic albums module)

does it still not take you to the real album? that's my main reason for just wanting to fix the appearance: i want users to be taken to the original album when they click the thumbnail. [img]http://karma-syphon.com/buttons/ks2.png[/img]

see the top post in that topic, i'm planning to make a theme option for links to the album. you can also customize your theme to always jump to the album.

both approach work for me.
the module view approach probably offers more (direct) customization.
while the dynamic album / album view approach is more maintainable etc.
i like the dynamic album approach where the admin can define which theme to use.
the theme could be one specially made / extended for dynamic albums, featuring more information like the "view item in its album" links etc.

yes, i thought of the specialized theme too.. but then decided it would be unlikely to match the look of the site's theme even though you can make flexible display options.

I was able to successfully upgrade to the most recent version of gallery and am now using the latest updates module.
Is it correct that there is no longer an option to embed the updates results in an external page (a php page not within Gallery) without the template wrap-around?
Has anyone come up with a hack to the showupdates include to remove the template wrap around?

forevervirginia, yeah i broke the RawUpdates view at some point (well, it uses the "useFullScreen" theme option which has minimal templating from the theme, but not none) and no one has fixed it yet.
catnip, themes updated for G2.2 use {g->url params=$theme.pageUrl arg1=...} in some cases for thumbnail links. change these to {g->url arg1="view=core.ShowItem" arg2=...} and it will always jump to the album for that item, rather than stay in the dynamic album.

Well, I don't know why I didn't try it before, but the "image block" module is exactly what I needed. It gives me a output of thumbnails without the wrapping template that I've put into my external PHP homepage.
I have 2 separate includes, the top 3 thumbnails show recent additions from the entire Gallery. The second set of 3 thumbnails shows a random set from a specific gallery album. I thought at first that you could only show 1 image at a time, but with a little googling I found out it's really easy to set it for as many items as you want. Another cool thing is you can have different combinations of criteria (random, recent, specific) for each image.
Sorry if this seems off topic but I know others that are looking for non-templated output may find this useful.
Will I need to upgrade from G2.0.x to give this new version a shot?

I don't know if you fixed this problem yet, but in case you haven't, here's a fix:
Edit the templates/Header.tpl file and add the line "height: 200px;" to the div.updates-item section.
You may have to play with the height to work for your gallery. Note: this has only been tested in firefox; I don't know if it will work in other browsers.

I added an unconditional link to add to cart for items shown on the Updates page, but it seems a different version of Updates is shown for unregistered users as opposed to registered. If I logout, I don't see the Add To Cart link, but I do when I login.
Cleaned out my cache and tried it on different computers, same results. The file I changed is in /local/ShowUpdates.tpl. Is it possible that the /local copy is only shown to registered users? Just tried experimenting with that and it's not the case. Odd. Does the RawUpdates.tpl have anything to do with this? Been cruising around my admin page for something that may control this, but not seeing it.
what are your site admin / performance settings? maybe you have a cached guest page. modifying the updates tpl should affect everyone.

I ran the Template and Database cleanup options, in hopes that something was being cached, but no change. I had made other changes to the tpl as well, like using tables instead of divs, since things were overlapping depending on the size of the summary field, as a result I changed the number of colums to three. But guests see 4 columns. Very odd.
As for the performance settings, I have the defaults, No acceleration for either guests or registered users. But if I logout of my session, I instantly see the difference in the updates outbput.
Something else, don't know if it's related. But guests also don't see some album thumbnails. If you go to the site link in my sig, you'll notice that the All The Maps album thumbnail doesn't show up (random highlight). And if you click that album, some of the sub-album thumbnails don't display either. But if you're logged in (registered), it all displays fine.
Is there any way to keep the output from the current version from breaking up the rows? For some reason some of the thumbnails get moved down to their own row, so I have rows of 3, 3, 1, 3, 3, 2, instead of just 5 rows of 3. This happens in IE,

Hi.
I just tried this on my _huge_ site.
Stress Test results:
The code -as it is- is not really suitable for a g2 with this size (~3500 Users, ~450K items atm, ~1k new images a day).
With the 'vanilla' code generating an update page for root album took over 5 _minutes_. Don't be afraid, you won't ever experience problems like these if you don't have users over several 1000s AND images over 100.000s :>
But if you experience this, you might want to consider:
Adding caching
Calling the updater only from crontab (this way number of visitors doesn't matter)
(Limiting the number of pages/history)
For Hardcore Users: Incremental upgrader
I'm just testing an experimental code according to these on my site: http://gallery.site.hu/friss/
(The result is somewhere around ~30secs compared to the starting 5+ minutes, good enough to trigger in every 10 mins or so)
I removed this module.. added it again... and I get the same thing.
I found a temporary workaround... I added the ".updates-item { width: 200px; height: 250px; }" to the CACHE section of the module /gallery2/g2data/cache/module/updates/0/0/0.inc - and it aligns the pictures perfectly, but every time I run the maintenance and delete Cache, I have to manually go there and edit the 0.inc again.
Any ideas why I get a blank page for the Updates Admin area??

with dynamicalbums you can pick any theme and any theme settings for the display.. so pick a theme and modify it to show the create date. i don't know of any themes that show this date now.

This module is incompatible with 2.2.2. I installed it and now it originally gave me an Incompatible symbol next to the module telling what was wrong, but now it's just a blank screen. Also the incompatible left no option for removal.
Is there someone out there that can help me resolve this?
make sure you downloaded version 0.3.7. click downloads above, then user contributed modules. there is a link for the g2.1/g2.2 version of the module on that page.

For anybody that might be interested, i had the same problem Alexandra70 had with not being able to access the Updates Admin page from the SITE ADMIN sidebar and getting a totally blank page after upgrading to 2.2.X version. I found the problem line in the file UpdatesSiteAdmin.inc
I changed the code (around line 124 in my file) but look for:
Quote:
list ($ret, $blocks) = $view->loadAvailableBlocks();
and change it to:
Quote:
list ($ret, $blocks) = GalleryCoreApi::loadAvailableBlocks();
that got it working again for me....

Hi, thanks for this module, it's a great addition.
Small issues with HTML vaildation (warnings):
I get lots of warning on the updates page about "discarding newline in URI reference"
Can anyone give me an indication on where I can fix this?
Thanks in advance!

You might try opening up the source code in a text editor that can show invisibles like carriage returns and newlines and then going through the code and looking at all the URL references for extra carriage returns or newlines. I read that the "discarding newline in URI reference" validation notice has a Cause: The URL given in the tag is containing newline or carriage return.This is a notice, not a real HTML error. Solution: Remove the newline in the URL.
Not positive doing this will solve the validation errors/notices but it might help.

Thanks, getting the new lines out of the URLs in [ShowUpdates.tpl] means I went down from 118 validation warnings to 18...

I've tried the URL add-on to show only updates from a specific gallery, as described in this link:
http://virtua-gallery.com/gallery2/main.php?g2_view=updates.ShowUpdates&g2_itemId=1273
However, my gallery just keeps showing the updates to ALL galleries. Is this because I'm using 2.0 instead of 2.1.2?
Here's my site for reference:
http://www.forevervirginia.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=updates.ShowUpdates
And an example of the add-on URL which should show only items from the "Auctions & Dolls for Sale" gallery, but still shows them all:
http://www.forevervirginia.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=updates.ShowUpdates&g2_itemId=589

Do you have useralbums module enabled?
And btw: <1.0 items/user? How come?

About 400 users have their own permission. But I think user albums have different permission right from the first place. That might be the problem.
Currently the permission system in Gallery is not exactly fast from what I gather. Which might be the underlying problem.
Type of server, 1GB ram, 3.2Ghz cpu, just a normal non-RAID harddrive.

I'm interested in updating from Gallery 2.0.z to 2.2.1 -- but the driving reason behind it is the use of the update module
Here I am, downloading all the add-ons I'll need for the upgrade, when I notice this module isn't supported in G2.2
Are there any module modification instructions out there that I can follow to use this 'lil guy in the latest version of the Gallery app?

G2.1.x modules work in G2.2. G2.2 also includes a module called "dynamic albums" which is similar to this module.

Ah-ha! I misread the columns "G2.2 only G2.1/2.2 G2.0" on the user modules page. Thank you!

Hello Mindless,
Remember the code ".updates-item { width: 200px; height: 250px; }" to align the pictures on the Updates page??
Well, since I upgraded Gallery to the new 2.2 version, I cannot access the Updates Admin page from the SITE ADMIN sidebar... The link is there, but I get a totally blank page.. no error message, just a blank page. http://www.EXAMPLE.com/gallery2/admin/?g2_subView=updates.UpdatesSiteAdmin
I removed this module.. added it again... and I get the same thing.
I found a temporary workaround... I added the ".updates-item { width: 200px; height: 250px; }" to the CACHE section of the module /gallery2/g2data/cache/module/updates/0/0/0.inc - and it aligns the pictures perfectly, but every time I run the maintenance and delete Cache, I have to manually go there and edit the 0.inc again.
Any ideas why I get a blank page for the Updates Admin area??

sorry, no idea.. I use the dynamicalbum module now, not updates module.

Yes I tried it, but I don't like the fact that it doesn't say when the pics were added. The Updates Module displays this under pictures "Added: 12-July-2007".
Any way to add that to Dynamic??

with dynamicalbums you can pick any theme and any theme settings for the display.. so pick a theme and modify it to show the create date. i don't know of any themes that show this date now.

This module is incompatible with 2.2.2. I installed it and now it originally gave me an Incompatible symbol next to the module telling what was wrong, but now it's just a blank screen. Also the incompatible left no option for removal.
Is there someone out there that can help me resolve this?

make sure you downloaded version 0.3.7. click downloads above, then user contributed modules. there is a link for the g2.1/g2.2 version of the module on that page.

For anybody that might be interested, i had the same problem Alexandra70 had with not being able to access the Updates Admin page from the SITE ADMIN sidebar and getting a totally blank page after upgrading to 2.2.X version. I found the problem line in the file UpdatesSiteAdmin.inc
I changed the code (around line 124 in my file) but look for:
and change it to:
that got it working again for me....

Hi, thanks for this module, it's a great addition.
Small issues with HTML vaildation (warnings):
I get lots of warning on the updates page about "discarding newline in URI reference"
<div class="gbBlock">
<div id="gsContent" class="gcBorder1">
<div class="gbBlock gcBackground1">
<h2> Gallery Updates </h2>
</div>
<div id="updates" class="gbBlock">
<div class="updates-item">
<div class="updates-thumb">
<a href=" /component/option,com_gallery2/Itemid,49/lang,en/?g2_itemId=4720&
">
<img src="/gallery2/index.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=4722&g2_serialNumber=2" width="140" height="105" class="giThumbnail" alt="in de klas" longdesc="in de klas"/>
/</a>
</div>
<div class="updates-caption">
<div class="updates-link">
<a href=" /component/option,com_gallery2/Itemid,49/lang,en/?g2_itemId=4720&
">in de klas/</a>
</div>
<div class="updates-date">
<label> Added: </label>
20-07-2007
</div>
</div>
</div>
Can anyone give me an indication on where I can fix this?
Thanks in advance!

You might try opening up the source code in a text editor that can show invisibles like carriage returns and newlines and then going through the code and looking at all the URL references for extra carriage returns or newlines. I read that the "discarding newline in URI reference" validation notice has a Cause: The URL given in the tag is containing newline or carriage return.This is a notice, not a real HTML error. Solution: Remove the newline in the URL.
Not positive doing this will solve the validation errors/notices but it might help.

Thanks, getting the new lines out of the URLs in [ShowUpdates.tpl] means I went down from 118 validation warnings to 18...
One step closer to the revered green checkmark
Thanks again for the pointer!

zi94sm65, thanks for posting that fix! When I get a chance I'll put up a new version with that.
