AutoMOD seems to work

jettyrat · Moderator Joined: Nov 28, 2005 Posts: 1144

I just installed phpbb3.0.4 and AutoMod [phpbb.com] from scratch. Then used AutoMOD to install the Gallery2 Integration1.2.1. Seems to have worked perfectly. Installed the mod in less than 10 seconds (9.941 to be exact) on my windows test setup without a single problem!

This should make life a lot easier for those who have a hard time installing by hand. Definitely will make things easier for me! Smile

AutoMOD is in beta stage and the phpBB group recommends not using it in a live environment. I have no idea how well it performs with other co-existing mods...

I'm testing automod. First, I got error message, you have to chmod 777 store/mods and store/mods/Gallery2 Integration. Then the installation with automod seems to work OK.

I tried to uninstall mod with automod, but the edits with inline findings failed. Maybe something to think about in next integration? (If automod can't take care of it)

Hmm...I did not test the uninstall feature. Seems to be a problem with automod if it can install the mod, but not uninstall it with the same instructions. I'll try it more later. Inline finds can be changed to find/replace edits anyway if all else fails. Thanks for reporting it!

Hello all again. I recently installed AutoMOD on my forum, and used it to install the integration. It went beautifully! Very nice work on this mod.

However, I think there might be an error with the mod. Whenever I click on the "Details" link for this mod under AutoMOD, it gives me an error: "Cannot locate File: ./../store/mods/Gallery2 Integration/./contrib/./contrib/gallery2.xml" I would like to use this link so I can apply the mod to all my themes, but as for now, it only works with the Prosilver theme (for obvious reasons Wink

)

I'm checking with the phpBB team to see if it's a bug with AutoMOD, but I don't think it is. I have a couple other mods installed using AutoMOD, and the details link works for both of them...

Thanks in advance! Smile

Hello,

could you tell me / summarize the steps / modifications which need to be made to be able to use automod with Gallery2 integration with a ("officially") localized version of phpBB? (using proSilver if it matters)
Is it sufficient to rename the "en"-folder to "de" for example or need any xml-files to be edited too?

it's me again with another issue.
Clicking on "details" in AutoMod gives the following error

Quote: ›
Information
Cannot locate File: ./../store/mods/Gallery2 Integration/./contrib/./contrib/gallery2.xml

Obviously "contrib" should be there only once.

besides that on Installation it fails in the following file includes/acp/acp_styles.php
with the first In-Line Find "This MOD has an invalid instruction, or an in-line find operation failed."
"The Find specified by the MOD could not be found"
I cannot see any problem there though...the target is there... :-S

I had this same error, but I figured it out with some help from the phpBB team. Apparently, there's a mistake in one of the files included with the integration package that makes it generate that first error. You need to open the "install.xml" file and make the following edits:

Find:

Code: › type="contrib"

Replace with:

Code: › type="parent"

Save the file, and try your installation again. Once I made this edit, installation went very smoothly for me.

P.S., this problem isn't specific to this mod... I've found the same error in a couple other mods, even ones downloaded directly from the phpBB website. If you're having issues viewing details with the same error as before, make that edit to the install.xml file.

pavili255 - thanks for posting that fix for the xml file.

commander_keen - There are instructions for what needs to be done with the language files in the translation forum [nukedgallery.net].

I don't know why it is choking on the in-line finds. As has already been reported above, the uninstall using automod chokes on the in-line finds also. Unfortunately, I haven't had time to look into it more. Sad
