Multisite Gallery 2 Integration with phpBB 2.0.x

Ok, I don't know if this is supported yet, but since Gallery 2 implemented the ability to multisite using one core installation and several small multisite files, will your integration work with the small multi sites?

I only ask since that is what I have and when I put down all my info and do everything that I believe is right, I get one of two errors.

If my configuration is set this way

Quote: › Full file path to your Gallery 2 directory: /www/public/htdocs/forum/modules/gallery2/
URL to the gallery2.php file: gallery2.php
URL path from you webroot to gallery2.php: /forum/
Relative file path to your Gallery 2 directory: modules/gallery2
URL to your login.php file: login.php
Cookie path: /forum/
Active User ID: 0

I get this error when trying to access gallery

Quote: › Error (ERROR_MISSING_OBJECT) : admin GalleryUser

* in modules/core/classes/helpers/GalleryEntityHelper_simple.class at line 138 (gallerystatus::error)
* in modules/core/classes/GalleryCoreApi.class at line 2225 (galleryentityhelper_simple::loadentitybyexternalid)
* in modules/core/classes/GalleryEmbed.class at line 184 (gallerycoreapi::loadentitybyexternalid)
* in modules/core/classes/GalleryEmbed.class at line 94 (galleryembed::checkactiveuser)
* in /www/public/htdocs/forum/gallery2.php at line 68 (galleryembed::init)

I read up and I have found that this is caused when you don't sync your users, so I tried and I got this

Quote: › Warning: g2addexternalmapentry(/www/public/htdocs/forum/modules/gallery2//modules/core/classes/ExternalIdMap.class): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /www/public/htdocs/forum/admin/gallery2_export.php on line 136

Notice the double slash, so I removed it from my configuration

/www/public/htdocs/forum/modules/gallery2 instead of /www/public/htdocs/forum/modules/gallery2/

I get the same error but don't have the double slash, however when I try to access the gallery page again I then get this

Quote: › Warning: main(/www/public/htdocs/forum/modules/gallery2embed.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /www/public/htdocs/forum/gallery2.php on line 64

So I edited your gallery 2 file to change that line

require_once($fullpath . 'embed.php'); -> require_once($fullpath . '/embed.php');

It works to access the gallery page like I did before, but I still am unable to synch the users and get anything to work.

Any thoughts?

Ok, after reading my problem over, I thought I might have a fix.

I tried changing my "Full file path to your Gallery 2 directory" to point to where I have my gallery 2 source installed. When I tried syncing this time it said:

The requested URL /forum/admin/install/ was not found on this server.

I'm still at a loss at what I should do. Shocked

dari

actually, i haven't tried doing the integration with multisite yet. if you are able to tinker and get it to work, let me know and i'll include your info (with credits) in the package.

Oh dear lord I don't know what's going on.

I was going to post a fix, but when I went back and tried to figure out what I did, I'm not finding it.

It seems that all I did was change the file "gallery2.php" from this

require_once($fullpath . 'embed.php');

to this

require_once($fullpath."/".'embed.php');

this allows you to use or not use a / in your configuration file.

I'm going to have to try another vanilla install of both and see if that's really all that it was.

Well...I'm at a loss. I redid the entire install and I came to the same results...it mysteriously started working. I'm going to try one more thought. I've narrowed it down to one of two things.

1. You change the line in /admin/gallery2_export.php from

require_once ($row['fullPath']."/".'modules/core/classes/ExternalIdMap.class');

to

require_once ('/your/actual/path/to/gallery2/modules/core/classes/ExternalIdMap.class');

or it's a problem when logging in as an administrator and you need someone with anonymous access to hit the page first before it will sync you.

Will post what I find.

I've been trying this too, and it appears that many of the references to "components" of gallery2 (class files, etc) are "hard-coded". I think what has to happen is there needs to be one more variable in the integration that indicates where the core gallery files reside, and that most of the references to gallery2 files need to point there.

The only files that live in the "multisite" directory are:

%ls -FR
config.php* index.php* main.php* upgrade/
embed.php* lib/ modules/ upgrades/

./lib/support/index.php*
./modules/core/templates/blocks/local/BreadCrumb.tpl*
./upgrade/index.php*

Everything else is in the core directory.

Hi

I followed Buzzman25's recommendations however I was still receiving errors in my apache log. Basically I am running phpbb in the root directory and gallery in a sub directory.

I changed the line to reflect that and it now works.

require_once($fullpath."gallery/".'embed.php');

Your observation with regards to the account sync seems to be correct, when I click on the Gallery2 link whilst not logged in, it works fine however if I log in whilst as admin I get a nice error!

Cheers

Once more observation you will need to change

require_once($fullpath . 'embed.php');

to this

require_once($fullpath."/".'embed.php');

Otherwise you cannot logout/login

I check the code a little bit and managed to fix the issue on finding the ExternalIdMap.class:

In gallery2_export.php

find and replace

PHP: ›

<?php require_once ($row['fullPath']."/".'modules/core/classes/ExternalIdMap.class');

$ret = ExternalIdMap :: addMapEntry(array ('externalId' => $externalId, 'entityType' => $entityType, 'entityId' => $entityId)); ?>

to this

PHP: › <?php $ret = GalleryEmbed::addExternalIdMapEntry( $externalId, $entityId, $entityType ); ?>

{edit}It still won't export -_- GalleryEmbed::createUser() didn't complain, but when I checked the gallery user database.. nothing changed...

{another edit} Solved it finally... changed the database from "MySQL w/ transactions" to plain MySQL.....
