I installed it and got errors Dari Sad

one thing i noted was that in Block-NG-featured-photo.php on line 16 it has:-
include("/home/httpd/phpnuke.nukedgallery.net/htdocs/modules/gallery/block-NG-FeaturedPhoto.php");

shouldn't that be:-
include("/home/httpd/phpnuke.nukedgallery.net/htdocs/modules/gallery/featured_photo.php");

as the featured photo file is called featured_photo.php ???

I obviously amended the path to reflect my setup

I can go into my gallery ok and select a featured photo, but when i go to main page the block has a message on it saying:-

"There is a problem right now with this block"

Any ideas ?

doh...you're right Smile

my bad. it should be featured_photo.php...do you get that error when you make the change?

Yep, "There is a problem right now with this block" when ever it is activated, tried deleting cache file to no avail !!

Any ideas ?

btw in your readme for installation you mention the line in view_album.php is approx 944 to be edited, my file is only 723 lines long Smile

hmm ok, find this chunk of code:

Code: ›       if ($gallery->user->canWriteToAlbum($gallery->album) && $showAdminForm) {
         if (!$gallery->album->isMovie($id) && !$gallery->album->isAlbumName($i)) {
            showChoice(_("Edit Thumbnail"), "edit_thumb.php", array("index" => $i));
            showChoice(_("Rotate/Flip") ." $label", "rotate_photo.php", array("index" => $i));
         }
         if (!$gallery->album->isMovie($id)) {
            showChoice(_("Highlight") . " $label", "highlight_photo.php", array("index" => $i));
         }
         if ($gallery->album->isAlbumName($i)) {
            $myAlbumName = $gallery->album->isAlbumName($i);

            showChoice(_("Reset Counter"), "do_command.php",
               array("cmd" => "reset-album-clicks",
                  "set_albumName" => $myAlbumName,
                  "return" => urlencode(makeGalleryUrl("view_album.php"))));
         }
         showChoice(_("Move ") . $label, "move_photo.php", array("index" => $i, 'reorder' => 0));
         showChoice(_("Reorder ") . $label, "move_photo.php", array("index" => $i, 'reorder' => 1));
         if (!$gallery->album->isAlbumName($i)) {
            showChoice(_("Copy ") . $label, "copy_photo.php", array("index" => $i));
         }
         if ($gallery->album->isHidden($i)) {
               showChoice(_("Show") . " $label", "do_command.php", array("cmd" => "show", "index" => $i));
         } else {
         showChoice(_("Hide") . " $label", "do_command.php", array("cmd" => "hide", "index" => $i));
         }
      }

and put

Code: ›       if ($gallery->user->isAdmin() && !strcmp($label, "Photo")) {
         showChoice('Feature Photo',
            'featured_photo.php',
            array('set' => 1,
            'set_albumName' => $myAlbum->fields['name'],
            'id' => $id));
      }

hmmmm strange I dont have that exact section in my view_album.php

What version of Gallery are you running, I'm on gallery V1.4.pl1

Could you send or post the whole of your view_album.php ?

Posted: Tue Oct 07, 2003 11:28 am

i'm using the latest CVS version. basically you want to add my section of code to the bottom of the admin drop down list that's presented under the photo (so search for terms like "highlight photo", "delete photo", etc..and add my code to the bottom).

Joined: Oct 03, 2003 Posts: 18

yep ive done that i.e.

lines 624-652 are as follows:-

if ($gallery->user->canDeleteFromAlbum($gallery->album)) {
if($gallery->album->isAlbumName($i)) {
if($gallery->user->canDeleteAlbum($myAlbum)) {
showChoice(_("Delete") . " $label", "delete_photo.php",
array("id" => $myAlbum->fields["name"],
"albumDelete" => 1));
}
} else {
showChoice(_("Delete") ." $label", "delete_photo.php",
array("id" => $id));
}
}
if ($gallery->user->isAdmin() && !strcmp($label, "Photo")) {
showChoice('Feature Photo',
'featured_photo.php',
array('set' => 1,
'set_albumName' => $myAlbum->fields['name'],
'id' => $id));
}
if($gallery->album->isAlbumName($i)) {
if ($gallery->user->isAdmin() || $gallery->user->isOwnerOfAlbum($myAlbum) && $showAdminForm) {
showChoice(_("Permissions"), "album_permissions.php",
array("set_albumName" => $myAlbum->fields["name"]));
}
}
if ($gallery->user->isAdmin())
{
showChoice(_("Change Owner"), "photo_owner.php", array("id" => $id));
}

So what else may be causing my block issue ?

The feature photo link is there when i select the drop downs, it allows me to choose and select it ok, but the block has the error !!!

Posted: Tue Oct 07, 2003 11:37 am

when you select it, does a window pop up saying that the feature photo was saved?

I've gotten though all the steps in the README file but don't see the block in my list of blocks when I click "New Block". I might be blind, but what's the name of this block?

Joined: Sep 22, 2003 Posts: 5

The name of the block is the same as the file you uploaded to the "Blocks" directory without the word "block" in front of it.

So it would be something like this: "NG-FeaturedPhoto"

I've tried putting the block in "../includes/blocks" and also "../modules/gallery/pnblocks/" but with no luck.

I'm starting to get the sinking suspicion that the problem could be that I am using PostNuke instead of PHPNuke. Is there a port for PostNuke available?

Thanks for your help.

look on line 109 of your gallery index.php file. make sure that all paren's are closed.
or, reinstall (and overwrite) your existing installation to make sure you get the most recent files.

ok i got the featured photo block working...sort of. for some reason it works, but totally outside of php nuke if you click on the thumbnail. is there a way to remedy this?

edit
when i went to the gallery and then clicked on the featured photo block it works inside phpnuke..so now i'm totally confused...

edit
ok i fixed that problem, but the above problem still exists...any ideas?

Posted: Tue Nov 04, 2003 7:59 am

took a look at your site and saw the issue with the photo opening outside of phpnuke. these are the offending lines of code:

Code: › $PHOTO_URL = makeAlbumURL($album->fields['name'], $id);
$ALBUM_URL = makeAlbumURL($album->fields['name']);

and i've noticed the same problem on my demo site as well. it must be a gallery version thing. what version are you running? it's an easy fix to make, and as soon as i have it complete i'll post back here.

Posted: Tue Nov 04, 2003 8:09 am

ok, got a fix. all are in the modules/gallery/block-NG-FeaturedPhoto.php file.

change this line:

Code: › global $gallery;

to this:

Code: › global $gallery, $GALLERY_EMBEDDED_INSIDE;

and, add this:

Code: › $GALLERY_EMBEDDED_INSIDE = "nuke";

underneath this line:

Code: › $content = "";

don't you mean the fixes are found in the featured_photo.php file? and i did those fixes and got "sorry such file doesn't exist" error

modules.php?set_albumName=Chicago&id=chicagosm&op=modload&name=&file=index&include=view_photo.php

this is the link and it seems to not be pulling anything for the name[/b]

Posted: Tue Nov 04, 2003 8:28 am

hmm...ok in view_album.php, you had to add this:

Code: ›

if ($gallery->user->isAdmin() && !strcmp($label, "Photo")) {
showChoice('Feature Photo',
'block-NG-FeaturedPhoto.php',
array('set' => 1,
'set_albumName' => $myAlbum->fields['name'],
'id' => $id));
}

change the 'block-NG-FeaturedPhoto.php' line to just 'featured_photo.php'

Joined: Oct 29, 2003 Posts: 16

yeah i had changed that before i was getting this problem, still the same thing

Posted: Tue Nov 04, 2003 8:40 am

let me check into it. it was working a second ago, now it isn't...grrrrrr

Posted: Tue Nov 04, 2003 8:59 am

ok, in the effort to make gallery more *nuke friendly, it slightly complicated my job. on that global line, add $GALLERY_MODULENAME to the end, and underneath the $GALLERY_EMBEDDED_INSIDE = "nuke"; line, add $GALLERY_MODULENAME = "gallery"; (replacing gallery with whatever you called your gallery module).

Awesome job on this block Dari...got it working no problem on my site http://www.deepsand.net one question... I would like to make the photo larger and place top center....is there a simple way to do this?...I looked at the code to no avail...Thanks Mark

Posted: Wed Nov 05, 2003 1:51 pm

it defaults to the thumbnail size. i may be able to add in the code from the updated album block to allow the size to be changed. by top center, do you mean making it a top center block, or having the image top center in the block?

Joined: Jun 17, 2003 Posts: 14

I can move the block to top center...I just want the feature photo to be around 400 pixels wide....Thanks...

Posted: Mon Nov 10, 2003 2:58 pm

ok, look at http://phpnuke.nukedgallery.net ...the block is top center, with thumb sized to 400, unfortunately, this is a problem. the original thumb is stored at whatever default size you specified, so doing this "simple resize" results in a crappy image. what i might wind up doing is copying the image as "featured_photo.jpg" and then resizing the image to your desired width. i have questions in with the developers on this issue.

Posted: Wed Nov 12, 2003 8:24 am

Good news, it's fixed. Grab the download from the site. It now has a "THUMB_SCALE" option that you can set to be the size of the largest dimension of the photo. However, due to a bug in earlier versions of Gallery, you MUST have at least 1.4.1-RC3 or 1.4.2-cvs-b5 installed for that functionality to work properly.

Joined: Jun 17, 2003 Posts: 14

Awesome Great job Dari..!.......got it working easily...photo was still a bit large (pulling from the gallery) so I went in and indiviually resized the one photo I wanted up front on the site(through admin)...easy enough to go back and resize it back to full size later...Thanks!

hi dari!

the block is great! I use gallery v1.4.1 on a PHP-Nuke-7.0ALPHA2.

there is just one problem:
when I am logged in as a just an user and not as admin (god) at the same time I get the following error:

Warning: mysql_fetch_row(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /home/ai004vne/www/home/nuke/modules/Gallery/classes/database/mysql/Database.php on line 37

there are 3 situations the block works:

as Anonymous
as Anonymous and admin (god)
as an user AND as admin (god)

as just an user I get the error mentioned above. once I klick on the featured photo in the block the message is gone - but only as long as I am in the gallery module. when I leave the gallery - the message comes again.

do you have an idea?

thanx
alex

Posted: Wed Dec 03, 2003 7:53 am

hmmm disable the block and see if the error occurs. i'm wondering if FB changed the nuke database structure in 7.0 again (this occured with 6.5 and the gallery team had to add some tweaks). i logged into the demo site as a normal user (non-god) and didn't get any errors...

Joined: Nov 09, 2003 Posts: 5

if you were at my site the block was not enabled (because of this error). you only could saw the random block - not the featured block.

if the block is diabled, the error doesn´t occurs.

Posted: Mon Dec 08, 2003 7:55 am

Sorry, I don't have PHPNuke 7.0 yet. in all previous phpnukes, the is_admin function was in the mainfile.php file. check if it's there, or maybe it's got a new name? if you'd like, you can PM me the file and I'll check.

Hi,
The block works, but the resize option behaves wierdly. The image is (according to mozilla) actually 1.6mb... for a 150x100 image... the location of it is the full size image on my server too... so is this just doing a client end resize by the browser??

Posted: Mon Dec 15, 2003 8:32 am

yes, i believe that is the case. this was the best option that was given to me by the gallery devs, though i think a new resize method may be available. i'll check into it Smile

Posted: Mon Dec 15, 2003 10:08 am

ok, i got your mainfile.php, and the is_admin function is there. i'll have to wait until 7.0 is released publically before i can go and figure out what's wrong....

Joined: Aug 21, 2003 Posts: 54

dari. doesnt that seem a little unfrientdly to the users bandwidth... downloading a 1.6mb image for a thumbnail?

i think an option to use the thumbnail images instead would be good (then the user can use the 15k thumbnails for anything small, and the full images fora large on.)

Posted: Mon Dec 15, 2003 10:23 am

i agree totally about the bandwidth issue. the problem is as follows:
example image is 480x640.
thumbnail image is 150 on it's longest side.

if the user wants something besides the thumbnail sized image, resizing the thumbnail results in a very poor image (esp. if it's resized up). so, resizing the thumbnail would work for resizing to less than the user's thumbnail size, otherwise, you have to use the full image for a resize, which is done via javascript on the client side. i'm going to talk to the devs to see if there's some other way to get this done that's both more client and server friendly.

Joined: Aug 21, 2003 Posts: 54

what about a resize using image magick? opbviously this is only nice for images that dont change every page view/5 sec... but its the only way you can get a low bandwidth solution.... because client side means downloading the large image...

Joined: Aug 21, 2003 Posts: 54

php also has builtin image functions, but i dont know how well they work, id stick with IM or whatever the other one that gallery supports is

Posted: Mon Dec 15, 2003 10:28 am

yes, but what about people who use netpbm? is the resizing as easy/obvious as it may be (i haven't looked yet) for imagemagick?

Posted: Mon Dec 15, 2003 10:28 am

php's image functions won't work well enough for this purpose...and it would be too server intensive, i think.

Joined: Aug 21, 2003 Posts: 54

assuming youre using daily images, the server load should be fine... how does gallery do resizes? we must be able to call the function that it uses, so that we can just use whatever gallery does (IM/netpbm) to resize, using gallery's functions. so no config for that other than where is gallery.

Posted: Mon Dec 15, 2003 10:38 am

Gallery resizes them when you upload to the thumbnail, intermediate (if used), and then it saves the full sized image. no resizing on demand is done, it just fetches pre-saved image files. i'll check the upload mechanism and see what they use...

Joined: Aug 21, 2003 Posts: 54

but you CAN resize on demand if you want to.

Posted: Mon Dec 15, 2003 10:41 am

not that i'm aware of...the links under the thumbnail both refer to pre-saved image files. they did use some javascript at one point to have it match your screen resolution, but i think that was taken out due to a bug, and i'm not sure if it's reimplemented (beckett and/or TimJ want to verify this for me?...or do you guys have a good solution to this problem?)

Joined: Aug 21, 2003 Posts: 54

er, well. When logged in as admin, in gallery, i see an option to "resize photo" which brings up a page to let me choose what size to make the image. (note, im looking at my medium size image, not my full sized one)

Posted: Mon Dec 15, 2003 10:46 am

ah, that's the admin option to resize the fullsized image and then save it so users can use that one instead. (i think).

Joined: Aug 21, 2003 Posts: 54

ok, so cant we hook into that and use that function to create a new image for the random photo?

I have the same issue as alexliebe, but I am running php nuke V6.9.
The site in question is www.globe-hopping.com i have two blocks running, the featured photo and most popular photo blocks, its def the featured photo block that is the cause as if i disable it the issue vanishes.

It only happens if you are a logged in user, not when you are logged in as admin also !!!

Any ideas, the problem is there to see now if you take a peek at the site, you would need to register to see it, but take my word its there Smile

at the top of the featured photo block, add this to the top:

you may also want to add that to the global statement in the block file that's in the gallery directory as well

Hi, I installed this and have it working great. The only thing is, the thumbnail is turning out bigger than the usual thumbnails, which is throwing off the blocks. If you like, you can see it in action here:

In the file 'featured_photo.php' (/yoursite/modules/gallery) look for this line (near the top)

define(THUMB_SCALE,0); // Leave at 0 to use your thumbnail size, otherwise set to desired width of photo.

Simply change the '0' to whatever size pixels you need (120?)

in the zip file which can be downloaded from here there is a folder named "featured_photo." in this folder you will find a file "READ ME" which contains the instructions which dari is reffering to.

I ran into this same issue. I had to make sure my featured-photo.cache file was chmod to 777 and that fixed it...

Hi -- I've read all the posts but I haven't seen anyone with my error yet:

ERROR: requested index [-1] out of bounds [20]
Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /home/kalorama/public_html/modules/gallery/featured_photo.php on line 87

I am not sure which version of phpnuke I am using. I think it is 6.9 but is there someplace I can check to know for sure? I am running Gallery 1.4.1.

Any ideas what is causing my problem? Thanks for any help.

Try deleting the associated 'featured-photo.cache' file from your ALBUMS directory and refresh the page

Joined: Dec 16, 2003 Posts: 9

Nope --
I've deleted it, recreated it, changed permissions and then redid everything again after intalling the new RC2 version of Gallery. Saving the feature photo aspect works approrpriately (it is an option in the drop down list and when I select it, I get the confirmation that a new featured photo was saved) but when I show the block, I still get the same error. What else could be wrong? I don't know if this could help diagnose the problem, but if I delete the cache file created when I select a featured photo and create instead a new blank cache file, I get the "no feature photo" message in the block, so the block works fine as long as no featured photo has been selected. Once I select one, I get that same error message.

Hi...

When I tried to install this block again I got the following error:

Warning: main(/home/immortal/http://www.immortality.cc/public_html/modules/gallery/featured_photo.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/immortal/public_html/blocks/block-NG-FeaturedPhoto.php on line 16

I read the directions 100 times and thought I did everything right this time. Could someone please help me fix this problem? Thanx!

zariah,

make sure that line 16 in your /blocks/block-NG-FeaturedPhoto.php is:

Code: ›
include("/home/immortal/public_html/modules/gallery/featured_photo.php");

ok thanx i changed it to that and now i get

Does featured-photo.cache exist in your ALBUMS folder? If not, try created an empty file called featured-photo.cache and upload to your ALBUMS folder and chmod it to 777

For the foreach() error try:

i guess my last newbie question would be how do i put a featured photo in there hehe...it just says no featured photo

Check to see if the file:

/albums/featured-photo.cache

has anything in it and it's chmod to 777.

ok i checked and it had <?php code in it so i made a new blank doc with nothing and im back at the same spot....and it is 777

Just as a test:
try changing the following in the featuered_photo.php

define(FEATURE_CACHE, $gallery->app->albumDir . '/featured-photo.cache');

to

define(FEATURE_CACHE, '/home/immortal/public_html/albums/featured-photo.cache');

There are two places to change.

Then try adding a new featured photo

From the README file included with Featured Photo

Quote: ›
Here's how you install this block:

****NOTE****
YOU MUST HAVE AT LEAST GALLERY 1.4.1-RC3 OR GREATER INSTALLED FOR THE "RESIZE IMAGE" PORTION
OF THIS BLOCK TO WORK. IF YOU DO NOT HAVE AND/OR DO NOT WISH TO UPGRADE, YOU **MUST** LEAVE
THE "THUMB_SCALE" VARIABLE SET TO 0, OTHERWISE, THE BLOCK WILL NOT FUNCTION. THIS IS DUE TO A
SMALL BUG IN PRIOR VERSIONS OF GALLERY.
***********

1. Put the block-NG-FeaturedPhoto.php file in your blocks directory. Edit the GALLERY_BASEDIR as needed.

2. Put featured_photo.php in your Gallery directory and edit as indicated.

3. Add the following line to the bottom of the safe_to_include array in the index.html file in your Gallery:
"featured_photo.php"

4. Add the following code to your view_albums.php file, around line 944 or so (right above the line reading
if ($gallery->user->canDeleteFromAlbum($gallery->album) && $showAdminForm) { ):

if ($gallery->user->isAdmin() && !strcmp($label, "Photo")) {
showChoice('Feature Photo',
'featured_photo.php',
array('set' => 1,
'set_albumName' => $myAlbum->fields['name'],
'id' => $id));
}

5. Activate the block, and choose a featured photo. If it gives you an error about featured-photo.cache, create an
empty file with that name in your albums directory.

I've read the readme...im just lost on this part:

5. Activate the block, and choose a featured photo. If it gives you an error about featured-photo.cache, create an

How do I choose a featured photo? I'm logged into my gallery as admin right now and I don't see where the option is. Sad

go into an album, the dropdown under each photo will now have a "Featured Photo" selection.

In featured_photo.php, change:

define(THUMB_SCALE,0);

to

define(THUMB_SCALE,XXX);

where XXX = the size you want (px)

you may also want to add that to the global statement in the block file that's in the gallery directory as well

Thanks Dari- it's a great block and with your help I was having the same problem above and this worked great.

Hey Dari. Its been a while since ive looked here. I was wondering if this block has been modified to use the already existing thumbnail (or generate a new one) rather than forcing the user to download a large, hi-res image and resize it client side.

cheers

Modified the Improved Featured Photo Block to create a thumbnail slideshow (primitive state, but testing welcome) for a designated album. The Gallery file is beta (hack) code available at: http://MagnoliasFlorist.com/featured_album.php.tgz. Just modify the original featured photo block to point to this file and edit the view_album.php Gallery file to include:

Code: › if ($gallery->user->isAdmin() && $gallery->album->isAlbumName($
i)) {
showChoice('Feature Album',
'featured_album.php',
array('set' => 1,
'set_albumName' => $myAlbum->fields['name']));
}

This can be added just under the location recommended for the feeatured photo block. Any feedback welcome. If there's a fair amount of responses, I'll take the time to write a README... unless anyone else wants to do it! Wink

hey, by the way, dari, my gallery is v1.3.4, the feature photo is huge, it isnt the size of a thumbnail, its the size of the pic after clicking on the thumbnail, is that what it is supposed to be?...also, if i wanted to upgrade, how do i "upgrade"? the dl at gallery is everything, how do i upgrade without losing my customization/hacks?

Posted: Mon Mar 08, 2004 8:03 am

hmm your error will probably be fixed with an upgrade. as for your mods and/or hacks, you'll have to perform a diff and see what you've done. there is no easy way to merge the files (there have been LOTS of changes since 1.3.4).

Hi,

I reinstalled this block for my new site and I'm getting an error I've never seen before. I checked the FAQ and the forums here for an answer but could not find one. I am running PhP-Nuke 7.0 and Gallery version 1.4.2

My site is http://www.immortality.cc/

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

Anyone know what that means?

Oh and I do not get this message when logged in as admin and unregistered users do not get it either. It only shows up when someone logs in as a registered user.

hmm...this is usually a problem with the database...when you configured gallery, did you select "PHPNuke" as your embedded environment?

I installed the featured photo block. Everything went fine untill I clicked on the select featured photo. then I get this error

Code: › Fatal error: Call to undefined function: is_user() in /home/garyd60/public_html/gallery/init.php on line 247

Here is line 247

I have version 1.4.2 of gallery installed and also phpnuke is ver 7.0

Hey!

thanks for your time.By the way great mod.

I have run the config script at least 4 times looking for this option.. Cant seem to find it.

Gallery 1.4.2
PHPNuke 7.1

getting error:

Code: › Warning: mysql_fetch_row(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /home/jesse/www/modules/Gallery/classes/database/mysql/Database.php on line 37

When logged on as a normal user/not logged on... but when logged on as admin, do not get this error..

Gallery has been installed in phpnukes /modules dir

Thanks to all!

Has this block's code been updated? does it still use the full hi-res image in the block, or does it behave properly and use the thumbnail (or generate a thumb)?

I was wondering the same Question

... did not know if this was intentional or not ... quality loss is shame with all that compression.

Great concept though! Very Happy

Thanks for the great block. I had it working great until I logged off as administrator. Now above the block I have "mysql_fetch_row(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /home/mywebpath/modules/gallery/classes/database/mysql/Database.php on Line 37"

Any ideas? Thanks again!

EDIT: Sorry for the post... I didn't realize there were 8 pages of posting until after the fact. Dari, you answered the Database.php problem earlier. Simply add <?php global $Version_Num; to the top of the block. Worked like a charm! Thanks again!
