Random Pic Block.

Hi Dari,
Greetings from South Australia.

I'm trying to set up the Random pic block and I get the following error:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_CHARACTER, expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING in /home/lroy/public_html/family/modules/gallery/session.php on line 56

53./* emulate register_globals for sessions */
54.if (!$gallery->register_globals) {
55. foreach($_SESSION as $key => $value) {
56. eval("$$key = & $_SESSION[\"$key\"];");
57. }

By the way this is the closest I've ever got to getting the Random Pic block for Gallery to actually work. You have been a great help. Cool

Yankee in the South - sounds intriguing.

I too, am having a problem:

Code: › Fatal error: Call to undefined function: fs_file_exists() in /home/sharlein/public_html/Nuke/html/modules/gallery/block-random.php on line 56

What am I doing wrong? Thanx, Steve

it looks like you're missing a backslash before the $_SESSION on line 56. here's mine:

Code: › /* emulate register_globals for sessions */
if (!$gallery->register_globals) {
foreach($_SESSION as $key => $value) {
eval("\$$key = & \$_SESSION[\"$key\"];");
}
}

hmmm....that function is defined in the gallery/platform/ directory (under either fs_unix.php or fs_windows.php). what OS are you using? do you have the corresponding fs*.php file in that directory?
Make sure that you have the propery $GALLERY_BASEDIR in your gallery/block-random.php file. That points to your init.php file, which in turn points to the fs*.php platform file.

I checked everything that you suggested, and I did have to make a change to BASEDIR path. I am running Linux on my site. I do have the corresponding fs*.php file in gallery/platforms.
Now I get this one again:

Code: › Fatal error: Call to undefined function: fs_file_exists() in /home/sharlein/public_html/Nuke/html/modules/gallery/block-random.php on line 56

I looked up the code

Code: › // Check the cache file to see if it's up to date
$rebuild = 1;
(line 56) if (fs_file_exists(CACHE_FILE)) { $stat = fs_stat(CACHE_FILE);

I am still lost. I would like to run this block for a very personal reason. My fifteen yeat old son died 4 years ago (April 4). We have lots of pictures of him, but to see them the guest must enter the gallery. Not many do, so I would like to have these random pix on my mainpage. I know that you are busy, but any help you can give would be welcomed. Thanx, Steve

here's the $GALLERY_BASEDIR section of my file:

Code: › $GALLERY_BASEDIR = "/home/httpd/htdocs/modules/gallery/";
require($GALLERY_BASEDIR . "init.php");

Make sure you have the trailing slash included there at the end.

Also, make sure that your permissions are set properly. The owner of my gallery directory is root (group root), with read permissions for all. make sure that your init.php is readable by all (and that the file can be read by the webserver, though if you can open the gallery on it's own, then you don't have this problem). You may also want to check that your gallery is not in the configuration mode (run sh secure.sh from the gallery dir).

Hi, I set CHMOD on init.php to 777 and changed my BASEDIR. I got past line 42, but got hung up on this:

Code: › Fatal error: Call to undefined function: fs_file_exists() in /home/sharlein/public_html/Nuke/html/modules/gallery/block-random.php on line 57

Where is this function called? Thanx, Steve

you don't want init.php to be 777, just chmod uog+r init.php will suffice.

are you able to add photos, etc via logging into the gallery?

Yes, my gallery is functioning properly. I am very much the newbie, what is meant by

Quote: › chmod uog+r init.php

? Again, many thanks - Steve

P.S. Do you have a payPal account? I would like to donate.

in linux, chmod mean "change permissions mode". the u means users (the person who "owns" the file), the g means that people belonging to the same group as the owner, and the o means others (ie, the rest of the world). after the plus sign (or minus if you want to remove the permission) the r means read, the w means write and the x means execute. you can view permissions for files by typing ls -l in any directory, and your output will look like this:

Code: ›
root@yankeesinthesouth:/home/httpd/htdocs/modules/gallery # ls -l
total 592
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1088 Mar 26 19:25 AUTHORS

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8037 Mar 26 19:25 captionator.php
drwxr-xr-x 11 root root 4096 Apr 8 13:38 classes

if there is a 'd' as the leading character, it signifies a directory.

anyway...i'm not quite sure what could be causing this error. does it happen on the main website page, or only after you click the random photo thumbnail and get taken into the gallery?

you may also want to check to make sure that you have your paths correctly specified. since you don't have your nuke installation directly inside your public_html directory, you might want to double check paths in your init and config files (run sh configure.sh and then the web-based configuration utility for gallery and double check it). it shouldn't be a problem for you to move your nuke install right into your public_html directory, and out of the nuke/html/ subdirectory structure.

ah ha...according to the headers sent by your website:

Code: › Server: Apache/1.3.27 (Unix) mod_log_bytes/1.0 mod_bwlimited/1.0 PHP/4.2.3 FrontPage/5.0.2.2510 mod_ssl/2.8.11 OpenSSL/0.9
.6h

you're running a pretty old version of PHP. if you have the capability to (ie, you're running your own server), try to upgrade to the latest version, 4.3.1 and see if that helps.

Hi, I installed the update pack -> gallery 6.5. Thought it might help, But now is lost my gallery

Code: › Fatal error: Call to undefined function: checkifonlineoroffline() in /home/sharlein/public_html/Nuke/html/modules/gallery/init.php on line 101

Where is this function defined? Very Happy

i hope you made backup copies of those 4 files as i suggested. revert back to those, and i think that it's more than likely a PHP issue. try asking your host to upgrade to 4.3.1. if that fails, i might be able to host the site for you.
