Topic Title: New code

Dari has the next release version of the integration, but he is very busy and I don't know when he will be able to get an official version released.

For now, anyone wishing to get their fingers on the latest version (the same code that will be released), can get it here...
Gallery2_Integration-1.0.0.zip [jettyfishing.com]

Ouch... I just wasted a bunch of time integrating the old mod

Thanks though! This one looks like it has some MAJOR installation improvements.

I'm going to be trying this when I get home from work, I just spent half the day upgrading from G2 2.2.1 to 2.2.4 thinking maybe it was part of the problem

Will posts results later tonight

I like the XML installs though makes things easier to follow, which may be my complete issue to start with

Well I have successfully installed the integration on my test site. Great work jettyrat this mod is very nice!

just a quick question, when I upgrade my website which is current running the phpBB2/g2 integration, do I need to copy the g2_user mappings in phpbb_user table across, or will the sync users function handle this for me?

I think you are asking about the gallery item id's that get assigned to the phpbb users as links to their albums...

The sync users function does not do this, it just makes sure user accounts in gallery and phpbb match each other. The album mapping happens when users visit gallery. Every time a logged in user visits gallery, the album mapping is checked. If a user has an album and does not have a link, one is created; if a user deletes their album and creates another one, the link is corrected; etc. So, eventually over time as users visit gallery, the users table will automatically update itself with the links. If you have a convenient way to update the table accurately, you could speed up the process. The only issue really is that when you do the upgrade, your users profiles and posts will not have the gallery link until they login and visit gallery.

Firstly I want to thank you for this excellent integration. Actually I've been trying to integrate gallery with joomla but the bridge for joomla is not really supported any longer and in an effort to find a solution and since I changed from SMF to PHPBB I found out about galllery2&phpbb.

I must admin that installing mods in SMF was much easier but phpbb is way much better.

I have a question about this integration and one problem that I have using the New Code.

If there is a new version e.g. Gallery2_Integration-1.0.1 do I have to do all the process from the start?

Also I used the 1.0.0 Integration and I have the following problems:

In memberlist I get the following:



At the column that is titled Username (right of website) there it shows the link to the gallery. But how do I get rid of the rest of the columns on the right and make that column named to Gallery as the last column?

Also, are the members able to define any settings for the gallery link on their profile? e.g. how many photos, from which album if they have more than one etc..? Or disable this?

Other than that, I didn't have any other problems and it works great!!

Thank you

Upgrading from one integration version to the next is always a problem. There is no easy way except to go through the mods and look for the changes. If there is an easier way, I'm open to suggestions.


You are using the subsilver2 style? Double check the mods to the subsilver memberlist_body.html, something is wrong with your mods. That is not what it should look like.


That is all controlled in the ACP under Gallery 2 Settings->Link Settings. Only the admin can turn it on or off and set how many images are displayed. There is currently no way to set which album the images come from. The integration just grabs them from the albums and displays them in sequential order until the max number is reached. If there are more, then a link is shown to the rest of the users gallery.

Thank you for your reply jettyrat.

Yes I am using subsilver2. It seems that indeed there is a problem in memberlist_body.html.

Might be somewhere at this code:




In xml instructions for subsilver2 it says to add after the above the lines mentioned in the instructions. But if I replace the above lines with the ones in the instructions that I added it shows correctly. Might be this? I am not good with codes etc... but I delete the above lines and the member list looks good now.

Ah, you probably found a bug in the xml...I just converted to xml a short while ago. The instructions should probably say 'replace with' instead of 'after-add'. I'll check it out. Thanks for the report!

Yep, my bad...the mod instruction should say 'replace-with'. What you have done to fix it was the right thing...

jettyrat a big THANK YOU for this integration. It's the best I ever used. Although I am unemployed at the moment and can't donate anything, as soon I find a job I'll be sure donating for this excellent integration.

Would it be possible to randomly select the images to display in the profile?

The next feature on my list of things to add to the integration is a UCP page that would allow the user to select the items shown, whether albums or photos are shown, the number to show (up to the limit set by admin) and pick an image to use as their avatar. A random option could be possible as well.

The mapAllGalleryLinks function grabs all the users items, then slices off the number it needs. You could add some random selection code there if you wanted. I personally would rather work on the UCP option as I think it is more useful.

Another way to get certain items shown that you want is to re-order them in Gallery so they are the first ones that get grabbed by the integration code.

Yeh that would be good, much more useful than the current situation!

link down?

just tried, here it is. this works.

nice! i kept visiting this site waiting for a release into phpbb3 gold. than i just today stumbled onto this post. can't wait to try it out on my test forum. but i have a question.. what package should i download of gallery? typical, full, or minimal? or does it not matter?

can't wait for it's final release where i will install on my family forums. and gladly donate for all your hard work.

Could be me, but I've run into some problems with the latest 1.0.1 code:

1) I don't think the listed files to copy are everything necessary, are they?



What about these?
* /root/language/en/mods/gallery2.php
* /root/styles/*.*

2) I went ahead and uploaded what I thought was missing from the instructions, but I still see "ACP_GALLERY2" when trying to install the module. Shouldn't this say something more human friendly? Seems like there is a miscue on linking to a language file somewhere. (Could be related to #4.)

3) When I try to synchronize users, it croaks on a user that has an apostrophe:


4) When I access my members list, I see a bunch of this:



5) Not so much an error as a frustration... When the automatic configuration set the gallery to strict embed mode, I was not happy being locked out of regular access to my gallery. (I don't have it set up for people to register through the gallery anyway, so that's a non issue.) I think it would be helpful to be a little more transparent on this and to provide instructions for someone to undo this if it is not what they want.

I appreciate your hard work on this. I've done my fair share of coding, too, and I know it is time-consuming and difficult. Unfortunately, I can't get far enough along to know what I even think of the actual integration.

Please follow the instructions in the README and all your problems will disappear
Except maybe the apostrophe issue, I'll have to look into that.

I'm not able to reproduce the apostrophe issue. Users with apostrophe's in their names work fine for me when exporting and when logging in to gallery from phpbb. And I have all magic quoting turned off on my server setup...

Ok, I can reproduce this on user synchronization when the user already exists in Gallery...
