Gallery2 Support at NukedGallery.net

dari · Last edited by dari on Tue Oct 03, 2006 6:48 am; edited 1 time in total

With the first beta version [menalto.com] of Gallery2 now available, NukedGallery.net has stepped up to the plate once again:

A sample [nukedgallery.net] Gallery2 integration is now available for viewing.
A standalone [nukedgallery.net] installation is also available for viewing.

Right now, our level of support is as follows: We can offer general installation and integration support (please, please, please, read the README file that comes with the Gallery2 beta package). Code customizations, block creation, etc, will not be offered until the final release of Gallery2.

do you have a rough idea of when version 2 will be fully supported ?

I know you dont want to commit to an exact date... but are we talking weeks, months, etc?

Cheers,

Andy

when the final version (not a beta or release candidate) is released.

as i said, right now i can offer basic installation and integration support. but, since lots of things will change between beta 1 and the final release version, i'm not going to go nuts coding blocks that might not work in the end Smile

Just wondering, how do I go about contributing to the development of the Gallery 2.0 integration project? I run a photo site right now with Gallery 1.0 and phpnuke, however the performance is horrendous, my homepage where all the pictures were would take 17 seconds to generate with only one user hitting it, so needless to say it is no longer my homepage.

Is this going to be CVSed? Is it going to be eventually merged to the main gallery repository the way it was done for 1.0?

Thanks,
Ted

Gallery2 is in CVS:
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/gallery/gallery2/

The integration portion can be found here:
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/g ... 2/phpnuke/

Is the actual page generation taking 17 seconds, or just transmission of all the images (is your server on a slow link?). Also, page generation time greatly depends on the server hardware, as well....

No it's the page generation that is slow, even when I am on the server hitting localhost. It's an AMD Athelon 1.4 mhz. It's got a raid in there but this docroot is not on the raid. I might move it to that disk to see if there's an improvement. Gallery recursively reads through directories to get album counts and stuff, that's the bottleneck. I have considered caching the filesystem listing results, but I'd rather not spend any time on Gallery 1.0 if Gallery 2.0 is addressing these performance issues. Going to mysql will make a huge difference which gallery 2.0 is doing.

I have another gripe with gallery 1.0 itegration. It doesn't read group information when I am trying to set permissions on an album. the phpBB2 module allows me to create groups like "BOYS ONLY" and I would like to make certain albums like "BACHELOR PARTY" only available to the BOYS group. I don't want to individually allow users to the album. The original integration didn't read the groups from nuke, it only read users.

I would make this a request, but I am not whining user, I want to actually contribute and make sure the group stuff is getting integrated right this time around.

Cheers,
Ted

you can try disabling the album/photo count in the setup, that should speed things up. Gallery2 is much faster though...try the beta release (back up your data first).

as for groups, no, G1 does not have it, nor does it have the capability for it. Gallery2 does have group capability. it is being coded from the ground up as something that can be seamlessly integrated into a 3rd party app, as well as being an outstanding standalone app.

Well, RE: groups and galley 1.0 even though Gallery itself doesn't have support for groups, phpnuke does have it. So in the integration piece when we are querrying for user information in the Gallery album permissions dialog, the query can also return groups along with the users from phpnuke. And in the part where you are actually determining whether to show a particular album for the session in question, we can also check the session user's group info to determine if this session sees the album or not. But at this point, I think any effort spent on Gallery 1.4 is pointless.

phpnuke does *not* have groups capability native in it (at least 6.x and early 7.x didn't)...it always took a 3rd party module/hack to create groups.

phpBB *does* have groups capability, but the current permissions system in gallery 1 does not permit the checking of group id, etc.

effort on 1.4 (actually 1.5) is not pointless. development on the 1.x branch will continue until gallery2 is ready, so if yuo're able to code up a patch to get groups into gallery1, go for it Smile

make sure you check the sourceforge project page though to make sure that no one has done it before you (or put in requests for it).

w00t!! my 2000th post Smile

is there a planned release date of when the main gallery product is coming out of beta?

dari

nothing is ever planned in the software development world.

I have installed a fresh copy of gallery2 on my website, it's working fine.
I have a fresh install of phpbb forum up and running.
Gallery version=Gallery version = 2.0 core 1.0.0
phpbb version=2.0.15

After installing, I cannot get into my admin panel. I get the following error:

Code: ›
Parse error: parse error, unexpected ',' in /hsphere/local/home/me/mysite.net/forum/admin/admin_users.php on line 662

$sql = "UPDATE " . USERS_TABLE . "
SET " . $username_sql . $passwd_sql . "user_email = '" . str_replace("\'", "''", $email) . "', user_icq = '" . str_replace("\'", "''", $icq) . "', user_website = '" . str_replace("\'", "''", $website) . "', user_occ = '" . str_replace("\'", "''", $occupation) . "', user_from = '" . str_replace("\'", "''", $location) . "', user_interests = '" . str_replace("\'", "''", $interests) . "', user_sig = '" . str_replace("\'", "''", $signature) .

"', user_attachsig = $attachsig, user_sig_bbcode_uid = '$signature_bbcode_uid', user_allowsmile = $allowsmilies, user_allowhtml = $allowhtml, user_allowavatar = $user_allowavatar, user_allowbbcode = $allowbbcode, user_allow_viewonline = $allowviewonline, user_notify = $notifyreply, user_allow_pm = $user_allowpm, user_notify_pm = $notifypm, user_popup_pm = $popuppm, user_lang = '" . str_replace("\'", "''", $user_lang) .

"', user_active = $user_status, user_rank = $user_rank", user_gallery = '" . str_replace("\'", "''", $user_gallery) ."' $avatar_sql . "
WHERE user_id = $user_id";

I have tried to add a comma like this:

Code: › $user_gallery) ."', $avatar_sql . "

but that didn't work.
I have looked at this code till I'm blue in the face and can't figure it out.
Any help please?

Did that.

Code: › user_rank = $user_rank, user_gallery

I now get the following error:

Quote: ›
Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING in /hsphere/local/home/me/mysite/forum/admin/admin_users.php on line 663

I'm sorry, I don't know php programming, so these errors are a foriegn language to me.

start a new thread, and post your file here (highlight the offending line)
