Incorrect Forum Index

speedracer · Beginner Joined: Sep 25, 2005 Posts: 14

The "Forum Index" points to the root directory where it should point to the phpbb path. Site admin points to /phpbb2/ ACP. The albums have an X since their relative path points to /phpbb2/v/ALBUM

Setup:
/root/phpbb2
/root/gallery2

Gallery 2 Integration Settings
/home/www/test/gallery2/

URL to the gallery2.php file:
/phpbb2/gallery2.php

URL path from you webroot to gallery2.php: /phpbb2/

Relative file path to your Gallery 2 directory: ../gallery2/

URL to your login.php file: /phpbb2/login.php

Cookie path: /gallery2/

Active User ID: 0

Did I set up the path incorrectly or did i not install Gallery 2 correctly?

/phpbb2/v/ALBUM is using the embedded rewrites, as gallery2 does not support that kind of direct URL.

I cannot attest to the integration working when you have gallery2 installed outside of the phpbb2 directory...this is on my todo list though.

ok, i've got a dev site setup with phpBB2 in one directory, and gallery2 in another directory (not inside the phpBB2 directory). here is my config:

for me it works only when setting relative path to y g2 dir: as ../weburl.of.g2s.stanadalone

I have gallery2 outside of my phpbb directory.

my folder structure:

site.com
site.com/forum <-phpbb2
site.com/gallery2 <-gallery2

here is my config:

hope that helps. it took me 30 minutes to go thru trial and error to see which way works best.

your URL path from webroot to gallery2.php should probably be /forum/ , and your relative file path should probably be ../gallery2

Thanks. I got busy and haven;thad the chance to post:

pestilence has it correct Smile

Thanks. My Problem wasn't so much the path as with mod_rewrite interfering so when I did put the correct path - nothing showed up correct.

Your results will vary. Note your relative path must reflect under the configurations of admin_gallery2.php

For those running Apache

** When I point out enable or disable for mod_rewrite this is in reference to gallery2 using mod_rewrite not apache configuration **

(1) mod_rewrite enable ** not suggested ** Odd things happen.

Install place gallery2 inside the forum index
eg: phpbb2/gallery2

Note: It kinda works. Not fully supported and it gets ugly when you click on nested albums/

(2) mod_rewrite disabled (use this for now)

gallery2 folder can be outside the phpbb2 index root but watch out for relative path reference. NOTE: mod_rewrite is not enabled under the gallery 2 admin panel.

You will need to use "../[path]"

My Suggestion if you do not want to deal with paths is to install as the authror has done.
Eg:
/phpBB2/ --> phpbb
/phpBB2/gallery2 --> gallery2 module
