New Version of Gallery

[ruebenwurzel]

Hallo,

ja ich sehe wodrans liegt. Die Übersetzung für vorheriges und nächstes kommt nicht aus der Sprachdatei des Gallery moduls sondern aus der Sprachdatei vn WB selbst. Wenn du das in dieser Datei änderst, änderst gleichzeitig alle Module uns WB Dateien die auf diese Übersetzung zurückgreifen. Dann passt das zwar bei dem Gallerymodul, bei allem anderen aber nicht. Da in der Sprachdatei zu der Image Gallery eh ein paar Fehler sind, überlege ich gerade, ob ich schnell mal ne neue Version schreibe, in der die Übersetzung für vorheriges und nächstes direkt im Modul liegen, dann kann man da eintragen was man will.

Schau mal die nächsten Tage (vielleicht auch nur Stunden) wieder hier vorbei.

Hallo.
Das wäre schön .

Ich glaube, irgendwas stimmt auch an einem der beiden Knöpfe nicht. Wenn man auf "nächste" klickt, kommt man immer zum letzten, also zum neusten Bild, egal auf welchem Bild man gerade ist .

OK, here we are,

The first release candidate for the next version of the gallery modul.

Changelog:

• Added in admin interface new option for the picture Ordering. At frontend and at backend its now possible to have the last added picture at the first place.
• Added new Fields to the language files. Especially the text for previous and next link is now taken from the language File of the modul and not longer from the System language File of WB.
• Fixed some issues in german language File (Thanks to kweitzel)
• Changed all Copyright notices to 2006
• Added to all TEXT and VARCHAR fields from install.php a DEFAULT VALUE (Idea from stefan because of better Mysql 5 compatibility)
• Deleted at all INT fields from install.php the NOT NULL (Idea from stefan because of better Mysql 5 compatibility)
• Added an upgrade script for to update from Version 1.7 to 1.8

ToDo-List

• Changing the ordering in this RC doesn't work with the move up and move down arrows in admin interface
• Changing the ordering in this RC doesn't work with the previous next links in the frontend. Try to change it in the frontend causes the issue that the previous link alwayas go to the first picture. So for now the previous link goes to the older picture and the next link to the newer picture no matter what in the options of the modul is selected.

How to update an existing version
Overwrite all files from the existing modul with the new ones from this RC and run once the update_gallery_from 17_to18.php script from modules/gallery.

!Attention!
As this is a RC it is not recommanded to use it on production sites. Please test it first.

Have fun

Matthias

Edit:
Newer version some post below

Hello Matthias!

Thanks a lot for your work on the Gallery modul. I use this modul because it has clean and basic structure whitout all the bells and whistles other galleries may have.  

Before you release a new version, I will inform you about a bug I recently discovered with the deactivate function. A picture that is deactivated, will cause a system error when browsing through the picture list at user level (not in the admin panel). The picture counter will also mess up for pictures after the deactivated picture.

Another challenge for this gallery, is to find a solution to easily move pictures around in a long picture list. When I have time, I shall try to figure out a simple method.

Hi,
I have this kind of error report every time I try to install a module and also similar errors with the dawnoad files manager:
 Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required '/membri2/digitalbrain/websitebaker/temp/unzip/info.php' (include_path='.:') in /membri2/digitalbrain/websitebaker/admin/modules/install.php on line 61

What is it??

Thanks!

[kweitzel]

2 possible things:

1) File permissions - please check them
2) Zip-File is not packed right (Folder in the root instead of the files) - download from Add-On Repository, or repack them, if they are packed wrong ...

cheers

Gallery v1.8 rc 5


Change Log
per posting: http://forum.websitebaker.org/index.php/topic,2882.msg18059.html#msg18059

+ adjustments to files to add/edit alternate text/title tags to images and links
       + added image alt="" tag to images
       + added link title="" tag to links to images
+ text tweaks for the sort boxes

Install
overwrite info.php install.php, save_image.php, modify_image.php, view.php, add.php
run update_gallery_from 17_to18.php   (may display "field duplicate" errors if already updated to 1.8, but will work fine)

EDIT: for those with existing galleries.... within the settings, on the loop section change the link to include the title="[ALTTITLE], as see below

Code:

<a href="[LINK]" title="[ALTTITLE]">

In reality these changes are a good idea, at least here in the USA there are a number of accessablity laws requiring these types of changes in web sites to make them more friendly to the disabled.

Have fun



EDIT - New Version Below

Newer version below

I just installed the newest version - gallery_v1.8rc5b - & added the first image, but it doesn't display.  This is from the source file:

<center>
<a href="http://www.shewhoknows.com/pages/gallery/red-spider-dress3.php" title="Red Spider Dress">
<img src="http://www.shewhoknows.com/media/.gallery/image3.jpgalt="Red Spider Dress" "" border="0" class="thumbnail" />
<br />
Red Spider Dress
</a>
</center>


In the img tag the closing " is missing from the path and the alt attribute looks a little off.

I'm sorry if this isn't the correct place to post this.

[rsmith]

Hi

-- Fixed the alt tag location, was off by 1 "

Yah, I just spent the last few minutes arguing with my FTP to upload the fix in view.php.

Ah well.  Got the new one and now it works wonderfully!  Thank you!!

[des]

I am going to start off by admitting that I have not read this thread entirely. I'm sorry if I am posting a question that has an answer already, but I am pressed for time today, and am hoping for some kindness here....
I installed the newest version of this over my existing 1.7 copy of the gallery module. Now I'm getting errors on viewing annything within the gallery:

Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /home2/website/public_html/modules/gallery/view.php on line 125

I realize I probably caused myself alot of trouble by trying to rush thru and update, so I'm already hangin my head in shame.
Some help please?

[ruebenwurzel]

Hello,

i think you only forgot to run the update script. You find the script in the modules directory and only need to call them once in your browser.

[des]

Thank you Matthias. You were correct. I do so appreciate your help. I did the update while hurrying and wasnt' paying attention closely I think. Being pressed for time, I just posted for help and ran out the door to somewhere else. Thanks!

Hi There,

Just a quick (hopefully) question about the gallery. When the full size image is displayed, there is the option to click on it and the image will be displayed in that window, is there a way to either make it open in a new window, or remove the link function from it?

So people would click on the thumbnail, which would display the image on the page... and then from there if they click on the image again, either nothing happens or it opens in a new window.

If possible the best one would be for the image not to be clickable at all after the thumnail has been clicked, but next best is for it to open in new window.

Any clues where to look for these settings?

Cheers

[kweitzel]

Have you checked out the settings of the module? Usually there is a loop defined in there. With this one, you can set these things.

If it doesn't work, check out the file "view(.)php", there you should find what you need.

cheers

Klaus

[learning]

Thanks Klaus,

Yep had a look at the settings, and can see the 'loop' settings, which are currently.

Code:

<td>
<center>
<a href="[LINK]" title="[ALTTITLE]">
[THUMB]
<br />
[TITLE]
</a>
</center>
</td>

Any editing I do to this only seems to affect the thumbnails, if I put a target blank in there it just opens the image in a new window. I can't seem to find the properties/settings for the larger image.

Not sure I am explaining that very well 

[kweitzel]

OK .. hten it seems to be the "view(.)php".

Around Lind 382 you find following code:

Code:

// Show image w/ link to full size pic
if(file_exists(WB_PATH.MEDIA_DIRECTORY.'/.gallery/image'.$image['image_id'].'.'.$ext)) { echo "<a href=\"" . WB_URL.MEDIA_DIRECTORY.'/.gallery/image'.$image['image_id'].'.'.$ext . "\" title=\"".$image['alttitle']."\">";
echo THUMB_PREPEND.WB_URL.MEDIA_DIRECTORY.'/.gallery/main'.$image['image_id'].'.'.$ext.'" alt="'.$image['alttitle'].'"'.THUMB_APPEND;
echo "</a>";

remove the HREF Part of the output and check again. The code should look somthing like this (bear in mind, I am not a coder, it could be wrong!):

Code:

// Show image w/ link to full size pic
if(file_exists(WB_PATH.MEDIA_DIRECTORY.'/.gallery/image'.$image['image_id'].'.'.$ext)) {
echo THUMB_PREPEND.WB_URL.MEDIA_DIRECTORY.'/.gallery/main'.$image['image_id'].'.'.$ext.'" alt="'.$image['alttitle'].'"'.THUMB_APPEND;
echo "</a>";

try it and let's hear what it does ...

@ROB - could this be made an option in the settings?

cheers

Klaus
