Adding clickable links

Hi there

anybody knows how to add clickable links to the footer above the site credit?
and how to let the description part recognize HTML tags like "<center>"?

Thanks, but after spending a solid hour in the git repo tying to download the purifer module, I have to give up and ask for help.
There does not seem to be a download button so I can just pull all the files I need and then extract it in my gallery3/modules directory???
Please tell me the name and location of each of the files I need to cut and paste (that seems to be the only way to see the files in git, raw text....).

Thanks.

Ben.

Ah, Ok, yeah, I did download that link, all 16mb of it....... But did not do anything with it as I thought it could not be what was required to get one simple module installed.
So, just to be clear, I cant just download the module I want?
I have to download, extract all the current Gallery3 modules, extract them all.... and hope none of them mess up the current ones I have and then just not enable all the ones I dont want in the admin panel????
Wow.
Hope the author makes a version of his module like most of the others have done..... SO much easier to install just want you want.

So, again, please, just a sanity check before I extract all 16mb into my Gallery3 modules directory.....
I really do have to do the lot to get just one?

Thanks for the quick response.

Ben

P.S Just had a thought while I was downloading it....
I extract it some other place then just copy over the one I want???

P.P.S Just extracted them in my home dir.... the purify module has 360 files in the directory.
I copy all those over to my Gallery3/modules dir?
Most of the other modules I have installed have around 10-14 files....??

Thanks.
Tried that and I still have HTML code in my comments......
I have enabled it in my admin panel.
Logged out and logged back in again.
Checked it is still enabled.

There is, as I said, around 360 files there, I might try and see if I can match the directory structure (of which he seems to have scores of) with the structure of those modules I have working.

Thanks again for your help.
Really interesting stuff.... by far the most difficult module install thus far.
(might have to drop the author an email some how).

Ben

Yes, have been running 3 all along.
(Im a late starter with Gallery ;-))

Have the latest build.... thus skipped the whole upgrade thing.

Thanks..... I am digging through his directory structure still.

Ben.

Nivekiam,

Thanks a bunch for your help, its been an interesting night......

I downloaded the latest code about a day after it was released (stable) back in Feb. I have been watching ever since and stable has not been updated since then.
I did not start this thread a month ago, 'baghdadpics' did, I only asked my first question tonight since we both were pointed in the direction of the purifier module, but then I had trouble downloading and installing that module.

That said, I took your point about downloading the latest experimental code.
(Usually I like to stick to stable releases, but having html all though my comments is really getting to me!)

In a nut shell the upgrade instructions are a little wrong. You need to copy your var dir AND your modules dir AND your themes directory over to the nightly build extraction directory.
Until you do all those, you get the 'dang, we tired, but its broken' message.
I guess we need to send an email to the Gallery guys asking them why we cant have both of those directory's under the var directory, and then you really could just move the one dir and have it all work the first time.

Once you upgrade, you have no way of knowing that you have upgraded, the dashboard still shows the exact same build (3.0 RC1 (Santa Fe))
I can find no place that shows the current minor version that you are running other than the top directory name.

So, after all that I am at exactly the same place I started. HTML tags in my comments.
In fact, no, I am a few steps back from where I started. Some of my albums are now coming up with the message 'The album is not writable' and I don't know how to make it (them) writable. They used to be writable, and now, after the upgrade, they are not. (When you look at the permissions, they are all green for registered users).
And some albums I can not change the cover photo. It says its changed, but it does not. Some albums work, some do not........
Guess there are still a few kinks in the nightly builds.

Since I still have the HTML tags in my comments, I might go back to my stable version and see if it fixes the above two issues.

Its pretty interesting learning about this stuff and hopefully those who follow will not have to go through all this.

Thanks again for your input, its been invaluable.

Ben.

I know Beta and RC releases are deceiving but they shouldn't be considered any more stable than most anything else. IMO, we haven't had a "stable" release of G3, which would be our final release of 3.0, IMO. That will be "gold" and "stable" IMO. Until then you're using beta software and should be expected to stay with the current code if you're reporting issues.

In a nut shell, that's wrong. To upgrade to a new version you must only keep your var directory. If you copy over modules and/or themes you will eventually be asking for trouble. The "nightly build" should be complete with current code from modules and themes. If you copy over your old stuff, you're going to have old code and you won't be running the latest version of G3. If you did copy over your old modules and themes directory you are not using the latest G3 code, which is why you're still seeing HTML code in your comments.

Dave covered your issue about the permissions.

Nope, just contributors, members of the team: http://codex.gallery2.org/Gallery:Team

Some modules store data in there and not the database.

Just guessing here as you don't give details....I suspect you are using a 3rd party module or theme that is not compatible with the recent code.

Ok, _all_ the modules I have installed are not current then.
Sounds like there needs to be a tweak to the documentation as to have that many developers write non-compatible code is a pretty serious melt down IMHO.
The Purifier module is included as it installs in the 'modules' directory, not the var directory.

Same with the theme. I am only using one, so for now, I am happy to just copy the extra two directories over and have everything 'just work'.
