[Beta 1.5.1RC1 & 1.4.1] Photo Gallery Mod

[searanch]

Hey Zarsky,

This apparently is a common problem - no one seems to have a simple fix.

I wouldn't even attempt to follow the instructions that Mad Moya gave - prolly crash my whole forum.

Gotta be one genius out there - here is the problem:

Zarsky and I do not have the header graphic and/or the footer graphics from the YaBBSE forum pages on the Gallery page...

 

A simple fix would be greatly appreciated...

Giving your url helped alot. Your image says that it is located here. http://www.yoursite.com/yabbse/gallery/YaBBImages/yourimage.jpg
Just change the link to image  in your template that is located in your gallery folder to this http://www.yoursite.com/yabbse/YaBBImages/yourimage.jpg

As for the other graphics. Take out the gallery/ in the template or create a YaBBImages/ folder in your gallery abd move the images there.

Worked like a damn...

I figured out that the problem I'm having is a database problem. For those who manually installed the gallery. Did you create new tables in your database. Or were the tables added to the information that Yabb created?
Was the install suppose to dump the sql database file?

searanch and diva_uno,

I know that simply copying the images would fix theimage problems....the reason the link is not right is because the mod adds the follow command in index.php

Code Select Expand

else if ($action == 'gallery') { header("Location: gallery/"); }
This appends .../gallery to all image links and all include statements....at least I think that's what it does...I would prefer a "cleaner" fix that would properly refence everything so I do not have to worry about blocks or new images I create and link becoming a problem...if I was on linux I could simply use a symbolic link to reference back to the YaBBimages dir....ah well I will keep trying some other ideas I have and report back any success!!!

One other note:

For some reason my header graphic (logo)  does not even get the correct link parsed through  I fixed the footer graphics using diva_uno's suggestion, but not sure what to do about the header graphic..

Right click on the broken image...and look at properties in the menu. This will tell you where the template says where the image is. Most likely it's not there.

[zarsky99]

Yes yes I did that and the img url=""  So it does not link anywhere for the image....this is due to the header call in the mod...at least I think it is...I am not even sure if it is possible to hard code the url since it is being parsed that way by php

You can see for yourself here:

I would try hard coding it in.  Do you have another template file in your gallery folder? If you do already I would just put the html code to the image in the template and upload it again. If you don't have a template file in your gallery like me...I had to copy images over to my gallery folder instead of changing everything withing the template which would have been a pain. But try that.
Yeah

[diva_uno]

Well the putting the tables into my database manually didn't help. I don't know what is wrong.
When I go into gallery it is not like I am even on the message board. My admin button doesn't show up and the welcome message does not include a username.
If anyone can help me your help would be appreciated.

I tried to install this mod with boardmod to use it with
my yapp 0.6 and unfortunately I ran across 30 errors
while using boardmod sooooooo.........

I just didnt feel like manually importing 30 lines of code.
Toobad this would have been kickass with my yapp!

[John R]

Unfortunately, when a mod is written for YaBB SE and you try to install it on YaPP you will run into problems if you try to use BoardMod as some of the code is different.  

It is possible to install the mod by hand though and it works flawlessly.  As long as you follow the instructions included with the Mod file there is only one real difference.  The part that places the gallery link into your menubar is not needed.  You add the link in your YaPP admincenter in the menu management section.

cheers............

I thought there were only 5 lines to add into the scripts?
A lot of people got it working on Yapp...Don't give up!
 

[CrimSon_ReD]

ooops yeah you're right I goofed it was only 5  changes.
im sorry I had got it confused with another mod.

I recieved errors on two in which the commands were not the
same so its kinda tricky to figure out where they fo such
Error on task #3

look for:

as:else if ($action == 'yabbinfo') { include_once "$sourcedir/Admin.php"; showYaBBInfo(); }

replace with:

else if ($action == 'gallery') { header("Location: gallery/"); }

Error:

Step 3 ... failed - ERR(1): Search string could not be found


Error: Step #5

look for:

$yymenu = "<a href=\"$scripturl\">$img[home]</a>$menusep<a href=\"$helpfile\" target=_blank>$img[help]</a>$menusep<a href=\"$cgi;action=search\">$img[search]</a>";

replace with:

$yymenu .= "$menusep<a href=\"$scripturl?action=gallery\">$img[gallery]</a>";

Step 5 ... failed - ERR(1): Search string could not be found

Well I think these are the problems so people are facing.
If its possible to resolve such problems, then it would work fluidly!

ok I manually did what I could...
I chmoded everything, and well now it just hangs on the install.php screen and doesnt do anything.

It doesnt install nor create the new database tables.

[zarsky99]

All,

I will be releasing a special alpha version of Spiff's coppermine mod tailored specifically for YaPP....I only have two problems to figure out...expect to see it show up in a new thread over at the YaPP forum tomorrow...one error I am trying to resolve is the loss of the logo picture's img src link after being parsed...the other error is with my recent posts block that gets passed bad parsed links and causes mysqlk errors...look in one of my previous posts fora link to see an example of it running.
