Gallery 1.3.4-pl1 and blocks

My newest album block doesn't show the newest album, or the oldest. It shows one of the oldest albums. The block doesn't change when I add a new album either.

hmmm..i haven't seen this issue before. if they (the gallery team) changed how the modification dates are stored, it may be the cause.
i'll look into it.

Another update! Being logged in as Administrator but NOT as a normal user allows the mostviewed block to work fine but the newalbums blocks blows up with

Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /home/dburke/public_html/journal/blocks/block-newAlbums.php on line 54

ahhhh...
ok, with your newest album block, it shows the newest albums that the user has permissions to view (ie, EVERYBODY for not logged in, or LOGGEDIN for logged in nuke users). so if you have view permissions set on some of the albums, they might not show up until you log in.

i think i know the error with your admin log in....i'll have to add one more check to the code, though it probably won't get done till monday, i've got guests in town this weekend.

Eh, maybe not. The block itself doesn't appear until you're logged in. There's only one photo album that has special permissions, all the rest should be open to "Everyone". Verified by by-passing login and going directly to the directory at

You need to set the permission on the BLOCK to ALL VISITORS then.

It seems that the new block-mostviewed can cause links to comment pages to be broken. I sent a detailed description to dari via PM.

there was a fix posted by slackbladder addressing this, i think...do a search for "sid" on the forums.

Just an update for anyone following this thread with the SID problem, you need to edit /blocks/block-Old_Articles.php and make the change

$sid = "$row[sid]";
