Zencart causing me problemo's

there is a README included with the zcg2 download that has instructions.. do those help?

hard to help without more information..

what did you click, what did you enter, what happened, exact error message?

maybe try again with G2 in 'immediate' debug mode in config.php and attach the output here (or post a link).

maybe try the latest 1.2.x version of zencart.

1.2.7d works. Thanks for the awesome suggestion.

Does anyone actually have this integrated and working in a site I can look at?
I *think* ZCG2 does what I want it to (ie: embeds G2 into Zen Cart in the same way that WPG2 embeds Gallery 2 into Wordpress) however, before I start messing and upgrading my gallery, I'd like to see it in action! Thanks.

I have also tried the module with Zen Cart 1.3 and received the illegal access error. If you get it to work with 1.3, please post back. The module works with Gallery 2.1 and Zen Cart 1.2.6 & 1.2.7

let me know if you find anything like that. The option that I'm considering which is not quite ready is:
xoops cms plus zen cart module for xoops (zen cart v1.2.7 until the gallery zen module works with zen cart 1.3), gallery zen cart module (as discussed here) and xoopsgallery.org (an embedded gallery for xoops not yet updated for gallery 2.1; but close).

as mentioned in the docs, and just a few posts up, use 1.2.x
i've asked the zcg2 author to update it for zc 1.3, but if anyone submits a patch before he gets to it, we can apply that too.

did you go back to site admin / modules? what DO you see for zencart?

I asked the author of that module about the "illega accsess" what I am having and he said the this module it is not compatible with zencart 1.3.
That means I have to remove 1.3 and install 1.2

looking trought the glass of a lenses

Hmm really weird.. Dunno if the ZC can handle that size but it should have worked in the beginning.

I'm just taking faltering steps to attempt modification of the zencart add on for 1.3, in file
$RCSfile: ZenCartAbstraction.class,v $ in the add on fileset for 1.2.xx

Around line 125, ABOVE this code line:
/* Load Zen Cart's database abstraction. Done after includes because of the constant. */
ADD this code block:

$zenBaseClassAbstraction = $this->_path . 'includes/classes/class.base.php';
	if (!$platform->is_file($zenBaseClassAbstraction)) {
	    return GalleryCoreApi::error(ERROR_BAD_PATH, __FILE__, __LINE__);
	}
	require_once($zenBaseClassAbstraction);
	//defeat the zc1.3 illegal access notes
	if (!defined('IS_ADMIN_FLAG')) define('IS_ADMIN_FLAG', true);

I'm slowly trying to sort the thing out for zc1.3,

And if anyone else has done the zencart add-on update for 1.3 already, let me know, it saves my effort ...

Hi
I have an integration of g2 working in zencart 1.3
the ordinary mode works, that is

- zencart 1.3
- using the version I modified of the original 1.2.xx zencart module for gallery2
- this setup produces a zencart product for each gallery picture that you make
- as with the old module, the links from the zencart products to the gallery2 main picture, cause a new window to open, running the gallery on that new page.
-and the links from the gallery pics point back to the correct zencart product(s)

Check it out at http://hareslade.com/zc_1_3_0_test1/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=67

The 4 products in that category 'gallery' were created in gallery2 only by adding gallery2 pics.

I need someone to load the add on files, check if what I have here works on someone else's zencart 1.3 test cart with gallery2 using a shared database.

If it all seems ok, I'll contact the author & he can formally upgrade the gallery2/zencart add on if he thinks its ok.

Don't all rush at once... anyone want the beta add-on files to test out, feed back to me if it works ok?

Ideally you need to know roughly what any error messages approximately mean if things go a bit weird.

============sob story...
I had hoped to embed the gallery page totally within in zencart as well, but it won't have it!

The gallery page itself works fine while embedded in zencart, but the url 'purchase' links (created by the g2 zencart add on) that point back to the zencart products are 'corrupted' by the added base url string that gallery2 insists on adding to all url's, because it thinks it's running in a gallery2 page of its own making.

I have no answer for this, but I understand exactly why its failing, purely because there is no way to remove the gallery2 'base url correction' on just the purchase link url. The embedded mode gallery2 alters ALL links on its embedded page, to suit its own return address.

But of course, we now need purchase links to the zencart (folder) products, NOT links back into the embedded gallery2 (folder) page.

Its easy enough to get a url that 'should' work, using the zencart add on abstraction layer, (and NOT using the url created by PurchaseOptions.inc) - but there's no way of presenting the required link url in gallery 2.

If anyone really expert at gallery2 methods wants to help out, I did put a post up here about it, but no-one's answered in 5 days...

it may need a small add on to create a new callback (gizmo?) to specifically place a link on the gallery main picture page, a link that can be loaded with the correct url for it's specific zencart product page, a url created by the zencart abstraction class etc.

I just don't know how to avoid having the gallery2 embed base path correction added in.

=================

I will drill down into it this eve. Will work on it with much interest and report back. This is an important element!
