I am using the latest version of Gallery and I am using Postnuke. I have the gallery running in the module and I have a link in the main menu.

I have been using Magnish (and still am at the moment) and I love the block that it uses. I would like to set up a block of a similar nature - a random block or a photo of the week - that when clicked would link to the gallery module.

I have seached the forum for something and I have followed the instructions to set up a Featured Photo block but this killed my Gallery and I had to start again.

Does anyone know of a block that will just "Slot" in and won't need loads of manual re-configuring?

ANY help will be much appreciated as I really like this Gallery but without this block I can't see me sticking with it! :cry:

I've been checking this site daily waiting to see if anyone would update the random block. I'm very happy to see that we have a working version again. Thanks for posting the link! It worked great.

I've just installed the latest build of the random block on my site. Worked fine compared to the current release with the configuration triggers.

Only problem is that it's only displaying random images from the two albums that were then when I uploaded it.

So it's not displaying images for the album I created via Gallery Remote after I installed the random block.

Any one else seeing this with the latest build?

Strange, it's now seeing all the albums including the ones I added last night.

I was playing with the database, just looking at the tables no editing. Either my tinkers with the DB triggered a refresh or the adding of new albums triggered it. :P

Hi,

i don't know how you come to the statement, that the latest block is working.

i'm using postnuke .726 and the latest gallery. i also downloaded the latest source for the random-gallery block and when i create the block in my postnuke environment i get the following error:

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 41943040 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 44 bytes) in /homepages/46/d67174514/htdocs/webroot/pictorials.de/modules/gallery/classes/Album.php on line 454

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 41943040 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 64 bytes) in Unknown on line 0

any help in this, i searched the forum a long time but didn't find anything

rgds,
ty2d

Try allowing more memory in your php.ini then restart the web server (apache?).

I have the same problem: "Fatal error: Allowed memory size of ...."
but only if I use the last version of gallery.

I cant modify my php.ini....are there other solutions in order to make it working?

Thanks

I may be wrong in this but I believe there is a cache of 24 hours built into the random script so you have to either wait a day or change the time value in seconds of the cache in the script before new pictures will show up. The line in the code is:

define(CACHE_EXPIRED, 86400);

That aside, I'm just glad to see that somone has updated the random script so that it actually works. I've gone from error messages to hanging my site with trying to use the original script. Now if the working script can just be posted somewhere that's easier to find, like updating the Downloads, Feature Customization page :)

I Just tried that block, the album is visible now but this error is in the header:

Warning: mysql_fetch_row(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /home/manifest/public_html/Phoenix/html/modules/gallery/classes/database/mysql/Database.php on line 37

Any suggestions?

Yes Actually i got this Error Also.. here is the fix if your using postnuke

look for this 

$GALLERY_MODULENAME = "gallery"; //Change this to your module Name
$GALLERY_BASEDIR = "modules/$GALLERY_MODULENAME/";
$GALLERY_EMBEDDED_INSIDE = "nuke";
$GALLERY_NO_SESSIONS = true;

and change it to 

$GALLERY_MODULENAME = "gallery"; //Change this to your module Name
$GALLERY_BASEDIR = "modules/$GALLERY_MODULENAME/";
$GALLERY_EMBEDDED_INSIDE = "postnuke";
$GALLERY_NO_SESSIONS = true;

that seems to have fixed it with my install of Post Nuke 0.7.2.6 :-) hope it Helps let me know if it did

It works for me too, but if you click on the image it opens in a new window instead of the center.. Is this fixable? I just installed gallery about 30 minutes ago.. Bear with me :) Thanks

I'm having similar problem with the script only using images from one album.

I changed the line:

define(CACHE_EXPIRED, 86400);

to

define(CACHE_EXPIRED, 30);

assuming that would change it to 30 seconds, but it still only uses images from one album. I really like the script, except for that problem. I would appreciate some assistance.

<update>
This can't be the only issue (cache time). The "configure" function of the administration block for the random image block only shows two albums choices: "No special album" and the one that does show up, even though I have two total albums, I cannot choose the 2nd album, even manually.
</update>

OK, here's the next problem:
When using ver. 0.41 gallery "not configured" dialog shows up.
When using ver. 0.54b - after activating, nothing shows up. I mean the entire page is blank - snow white. After deactivating, everything is back.
PostNuke - ver. 0.726.
Any ideas?

I aggree. I upgraded without deactivating the random block (forgot to) and then ended up killing the site. Took out the block the old fashion way then upgraded the module and reinstalled the randoms and it seems to work fine now. I too think this random image script should be a sticky or eaiser to find.

Very helpful thread and a cool block for postnuke.

I've not had any of the problems mentioned here, just lucky I guess. I'm running PN 0.726 and Gallery 1.44pl1.

Had one little glitch from a dumb mistake... I forgot to name the block. In the theme I'm using, the silver bar that's normally over the block ran through the middle of the block.

Also, some of my pictures - usually the odd-sized ones aren't scaled right in the random picture. I figure it's a setting I have to play with.

Thanks for a nice block and an unusually helpful thread.

Hi.

I added this and I get the following error now when I go to add a new block from the ACP:

Quote:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: is_user() in /home/.garp/shamusland/shamusland.org/modules/gallery/init.php on line 210

My system environment is Gallery 1.5RC, Postnuke 0.7.5.0 Gold plus security patches from February, PHP 4;3;10, Apache 1.3.31.
