[Beta 1.5.1RC1 & 1.4.1] Photo Gallery Mod

[PioneeR]

I think its something to do with the server... mine works... then it stops... wonder if its php related??

[Webby]

It works, then it stops ??

Does it sort the pictures, or doesn't it ?

[PioneeR]

My sort used to work fine... was working for weeks. Then one day it just stopped working  

I moved hosts.. worked again.... then a month later it stopped    

The hosts had recompiled apache etc though.. so not sure if that caused it

[mirepup]

So - has anyone got the complete solution to the install problems?

I'm down to the

Unable to connect to database !

MySQL said: No Database Selected

and would love to know what to do. I've tried editing my include_once settings in all different ways. If I really  screw it up, I get a blank page. When I set it to:

Code Select Expand

# FROM YaBB
include_once "/yabbse/Settings.php";
include_once "/yabbse/QueryString.php";
include_once "/yabbse/english.lng";
include_once "/yabbse/Subs.php";
include_once "/yabbse/Errors.php";
include_once "/yabbse/sources/Load.php";
include_once "/yabbse/sources/Security.php";
include_once "include/config.inc.php";
include_once "include/functions.inc.php";

Then I get the error. Things I've tried
FYI: Directory Structure (w2k) = yabbse/gallery/include

Code Select Expand

include_once "/yabbse/Settings.php" (site root, then yabbse =error)
include_once "../yabbse/Settings.php" (up 1, then yabbse = wrong path, blank page)
include_once "../../yabbse/Settings.php" (up 2, then yabbse = right path but error)
include_once "/Settings.php" (failed since settings is not in the site root)


YABB SE works fine BTW.

Yaaaayyy, Managed to get mine working, so I thought I'd tell you how I managed it.

My gallery path is as follows:
w w w.mydomain.com/Test/gallery/

In init.inc.php I hardcoded the following from

Code Select Expand



# FROM YaBB
include_once "../Settings.php";
include_once "$boarddir/QueryString.php";
include_once "$boarddir/english.lng";
include_once "$sourcedir/Subs.php";
include_once "$sourcedir/Errors.php";
include_once "$sourcedir/Load.php";
include_once "$sourcedir/Security.php";
include_once "include/config.inc.php";
include_once "include/functions.inc.php";


TO

Code Select Expand



# FROM YaBB
include_once ("../Settings.php");
include_once ("../QueryString.php");
include_once ("../english.lng");
include_once ("../Sources/Subs.php");
include_once ("../Sources/Errors.php");
include_once ("../Sources/Load.php");
include_once ("../Sources/Security.php");
include_once ("include/config.inc.php");
include_once ("include/functions.inc.php");


I then had to add a template into my gallery directory (I didn't mind this as I wanted a different template for my gallery anyway )

On my template I had to give the full url for my logo i.e. w w w.mydomain.com/Test/YaBBImages/logo.jpg



Following things are buggy though, athough they may be browser problems (still checking)

On the gallery display title and discription drops down the page and is partially obscured by the New album box ~ checked the source and the "! End Standard Table" closing tag is missing

I do not get the full image on clicking the pic.

The slide show does not seem to work (there is no way of ajusting the show time on each image either)


That is it for the moment

And the mod is apprecated Thank you

Here's a new strange problem....

When I upload images into my gallery now (this just started a day or two ago and the gallery has been going strong for months) they are uploaded in strange colors -- almost like photo negatives, or black and white.  clicking the mid-sized-thumbnails to view full size reveals the normal colors and the small thumbnails may or may not be full color.

Does this have to do with the program that makes the thumbs?  Any ideas or suggestions?

[Ben_S]

change the GD type in the admin settings, that sorted it for me, mine had a funny blue on em

[charlottezweb]

Thanks for the idea, i toyed with trying that earlier today but didn't...i just switched it from g1 to g2 (whatever that means) and it did the trick...

Thanks!

I found the following error where I run install.php :

Notice: Undefined index: test_gd1 in D:\cgi-bin\yabbse\gallery\install.php on line 577

Notice: Undefined index: test_gd2 in D:\cgi-bin\yabbse\gallery\install.php on line 585

I saw you pointing this out on "their" support board, but there was no solution as far as I could see.

It's nothing major, but it's the only thing that doesn't work  

[PioneeR]

I had quite a few of their peeps having a look at the problem. No suggestions.. then one day it just went away!

Been fine for a month... now not working again though. DOH!

[Webby]

And nothing changed on the server or on the script ?!  Makes you go bang your head against the wall, doesn't it  

[PioneeR]

I know my site didnt change... must have been something server side!!!

I did ask the hosts.. but didnt get a straight answer

[Wistman]

I found the following error where I run install.php :

Notice: Undefined index: test_gd1 in D:\cgi-bin\yabbse\gallery\install.php on line 577

Notice: Undefined index: test_gd2 in D:\cgi-bin\yabbse\gallery\install.php on line 585

just curious but why do you have YaBB SE in the cgi-bin?

[Nerd3d]

Iccwz02, this just means that GD is not compiled into your PHP. You'll need to recompile with GD in or install ImageMagic.
