(This is done simply by including random.php in your own PHP page)

...and more!

Requriments:
Database Server
- MySQL or MS SQL Server (experimental support for ODBC)
- Administration tool for the database server (e.g. phpMyAdmin)
- Support for MySQL has been tested thouroughly.
- Support for MS SQL has been tested and seems to work fine.
- Support for ODBC is currently untested.
- PhpMyAdmin to import database structure http://www.phpmyadmin.net/
- ImageMagick installed on server http://imagemagick.sourceforge.net/
- The variable include_path = "." in php.ini

- PHP 4 (PHP 3 untested, but should work)
- Tested with PHP 4.2.2
- Forum Software
- Tested with phpBB 2.0.4
- Tested with vBulletin 2.2.x
- With vBulletin 2.3.x, and error message is produced by vBulletin, but still works.
- Forum software is not really needed (but highly recommended), you can use ip-based authentication too.

Web Server
-OakGallery currently requires a web server that allows you to run shell commands from php-scripts (for ImageMagick).

Installation:
1. Create a database for the gallery (using e.g. phpMyAdmin)
(You can use the same database for OakGallery as for other things, as long as the table names don't collide)
2. Execute the complete database script found in InstallDB/<server-type>-OakGallery.sql
3. UnZip the gallery to a local folder
Edit the Upload/config/galleryconfig.php to suit your needs. The configuration options should be self-explanatory. To find where ImageMagick's convert and composite are located. Try running this from your shell (unix):

which convert or
whereis convert

4. Upload all files in the 'Upload' subdirectory to your webserver.

5. Make the directories 'thumbnails' and 'images' writeable by the webserver.

E.g:
chown nobody thumbnails
chmod 770 thumbnails
(In this example, the webserver is run as user nobody.)

7. Also, you need to make the PHP temporary upload directory writable by the webserver.

(Contact your system administrator if you need help with step 6-7)
Now, try loading the gallery page in your webbrowser and start creating categories for your pictures!

8. Dont you get it working ? Please post your problem here ... include the following:

- Path to the gallery
- Path to the forum
- Path to phpinfo.php
- Path?s in the galleryconfig.php

Then it will be much easier to help you out.

Modification:
If you want to modify OakGallery to better suit your needs, the following rules must be obeyed:

- The 'PayPal-donate' link and text must be CLEARLY visible. Preferrably near the top of the page.
- The original copyright message must be CLEARLY visible near the top of ALL pages.
- Add a message saying 'Modified by xxxx' or similar near the copyright message.
- Have fun! (and yes, that is a rule!)).

[colicab-d]

thnx tonnes will install tonite :D

[Bergman]

Zelda-king, you have MSN ? Add me there and i will help you out.

Must be something in galleryconfig.php

My Adress is anbem@wmdata.com

[Trident]

Bergman,

just first line only
[ Start Page ] [ Top List ] [ Upload ] [ Comments on your pictures ]

i told you it is known me as admin !

what is wrong ?

thank you again

My Adress is anbem@wmdata.com Oh, it's OK. I worked it out. I was just confused because I didn't see that path in /home/, but when I edited the paths to that anyway it worked.

Thanks for the speedy response though! :)

Here's my link;

http://www.gamercrossfire.net/bb/gallery/index.php

I still get that error in admin_categories.php though.

[Trident]

i forgot tell you , i work in local server and this is my config data :

$cfgGalleryDirWeb = 'http://localhost/forum/gallery/'; // absolute web path to gallery files
$cfgImageDirWeb = 'http://localhost/forum/gallery/images/'; // absolute web path to image dir
$cfgImageDirLocal = 'C:/apache/htdocs/forum/gallery/images/'; //The local path to the image dir
$cfgThumbDirWeb = 'http://localhost/forum/gallery/thumbnails/'; // absolute web path to thumbnails dir
$cfgThumbDirLocal = 'C:/apache/htdocs/forum/gallery/thumbnails/'; // The local path to the thumbnails dir
// Put the forums usernumbers for the OakGallery Admins here (comma separated).
// Like this: '1,2,3,4' - NOT like this: '1, 2, 3' !!!
$cfgAdminList = '2';
$cfgForumDir = 'C:/apache/htdocs/forum/'; // The local path to the forum dir
$cfgGalleryDir = 'C:/apache/htdocs/forum/gallery/'; // The local path to the vGallery dir
$cfgConvert = '/usr/bin/X11/convert'; // Local path to ImageMagick's convert
$cfgComposite = '/usr/bin/X11/composite'; // Local path to ImageMagick's composite

[Bergman]

Trident, i dont know how it works in a local server ... sorry ...

I dont think that you should use http:// or c:

Try something like this:
$cfgGalleryDirWeb = '/forum/gallery/'; // absolute web path to gallery files
$cfgImageDirWeb = '/forum/gallery/images/'; // absolute web path to image dir
$cfgImageDirLocal = '/apache/htdocs/forum/gallery/images/'; //The local path to the image dir
$cfgThumbDirWeb = '/forum/gallery/thumbnails/'; // absolute web path to thumbnails dir
$cfgThumbDirLocal = '/apache/htdocs/forum/gallery/thumbnails/'; // The local path to the thumbnails dir
// Put the forums usernumbers for the OakGallery Admins here (comma separated).
// Like this: '1,2,3,4' - NOT like this: '1, 2, 3' !!!
$cfgAdminList = '2';
$cfgForumDir = '/apache/htdocs/forum/'; // The local path to the forum dir
$cfgGalleryDir = '/apache/htdocs/forum/gallery/'; // The local path to the vGallery dir
$cfgConvert = '/usr/bin/X11/convert'; // Local path to ImageMagick's convert
$cfgComposite = '/usr/bin/X11/composite'; // Local path to ImageMagick's composite

[Zelda-King]

Doh! It was my fault. I hadn't added my userid. :D

[Bergman]

Zelda-King, good that you solved it ! :)

[Zelda-King]

I have a problem uploading though. It says Error moving file - Please contact system administrator.

[Bergman]

The webservers user must have write access to /images and /thumbnails

That should do the trick.

[Zelda-King]

It sort of did. I'm seeing a red-x though. Is it possible to delete corrupt images?

[Bergman]

Just click the bad thumb the click "Delete"

[Zelda-King]

I should have spotted that. Anyway, when I delete a picture I get;

Warning: unlink() failed (No such file or directory) in /home/virtual/site62/fst/var/www/html/bb/gallery/remove_image.php on line 67
Error deleting file(s)

1 errors.

Query or Database Error - Please contact system administrator

That's probably me though. I tried deleting from the FTP.

EDIT: Nope! Does it with other pics too.

[Bergman]

Zelda-King, even if the picture is missing the database entry should be deleted. Or did the upload of the picture work but not the Thumb ?

[Zelda-King]

I think it's something to do with the CHMOD. It wont stay how I set it.

Yes, the database entry is deleted OK.

[Bergman]

Yes, im not so good at webservers but there is the servers webuser that should have write access in the directories. Dont think you can do that with the FTP clients CHMOD ... ill think you must do it from SHELL. Anyone who can help me explain ?

[Zelda-King]

SHELL's not something I know about, and yes I use FTP. In the database all the permissions are checked.

[Bergman]

Ok, then ill think you must ask the server support to help you put the right security on the folders. Or is it your own server ?

[Zelda-King]

No, it's not my server.

[Bergman]

I will ask my friend Åke how to set the correct security. But i think you must be a server administrator to fix that. Ill be back later about this.

[seeyou]

$cfgConvert = '/usr/bin/X11/convert'; // Local path to ImageMagick's convert
$cfgComposite = '/usr/bin/X11/composite'; // Local path to ImageMagick's composite

Now everything is working, but I don't know how to config the path from above, I am running under win2000 server OS with Apache web server.

I name ImageMagick to drive D and installed as a directory "x86", any help will be appreciate, now it doesn't seems to work for convert thumbnail.

[Bergman]

Zelda-King & seeyou, have updated the orginal installation instructions. Try to do like that. If it not solves the problem please post here again.

[colicab-d]

bergman this allow users to add images to a categorie? and coment rate etc? as i dont wanna be the only person adding images.

[Zelda-King]

I tried that. I don't think there's anything I can do until my system administrator edits the CHMOD settings.

The weird thing is I can change permissions at the database. Even by default the permissions are all checked, but on FTP it keeps reverting after it says the permissions were successfully updated. Probably because in the database both the owner and group are named 'admin'. On FTP the owner has full permissions but not 'group' or 'public'.

I check the folders on the FTP though and the files ARE uploaded to the images folder (but not the thumbnails one).

[unixboard.de]

i have some trouble...

any ideas?

many thx!

edit:
sorry...i found the bug ;-)

[Zelda-King]

Right, I somehow managed to edit the CHMOD settings. I still have trouble with thumbnails though. I see red Xs. Nothing uploads to the thumbnails folder, and if I delete an image I still get the old error.

I've got a hunch I've messed up somewhere though. I can't seem to find the composite/convert files. Yes, that's it! I haven't got ImageMagick installed yet. Back in a few with an update. Sorry about that!

[GoTTi]

[kuska]

What is different in this version from the previous one?

[kuska]

Will i lose all me data from V1.0 after updating? will it remember who posted which picture, ratings, comments?

Awesome hack buddy - people are going to love this :P

[Kurayami]

Eh, I'm getting this error...

It seems as though the path settings are incorrect, but I've checked them over and over, and everything seems fine--everything is uploaded correctly as well.
Could there be some sort of problem because I'm running the forum on a domain instead of a /forum subdirectory, or is there just something glaringly obvious that I'm missing? (Which is most likely the case.) :D

[Koutaru]

Very very nice, great job *_*

[Moyses]

Yea Great Hack!!!

*click install*

definitivamente.... esto es lo que esperaba.... ^____~

[colicab-d]

also bergman woul dit be ok to remove the copy stuff and donate link and poss display it on a seperate page ( a credits page) and link to it in the bottom of all the templates, would i be allowed to do that?

[Zelda-King]

I know this isn't directly a hack question but I don't really know the procedure to install ImageMagick. The installation instructions are gobbledeegook to me. I try sticking it on the server as a .tar file and the server doesn't want to know because it's gzipped, so, I unzip it myself and upload it. Then what? and what directory should I put it in? I know it's meant to install itself into the bin directory or something. If I open configure in a browser though I just get a text screen. How's it meant to install? I can't have the thumbnails without ImageMagick.

[Moyses]

I've getting this error:

I have the same thing, exactly, I think this is the config issue of unix shell, and we don't know how to config the path and locate "convert" & 'compose", please help.

[GoTTi]

man, my server said they installed ImageMagick on it, i look inside my usr/bin area threw cPanel, what EXACTLY am i looking for to make sure i know it is installed.???

[Bergman]

colicab, yes every forum member is allowed to post images, comment, rate etc. ?ke wants that the copyright should be visible because of the script are for free. Maybe you can speak to him about it ?

unixboard, you seem to have missed the starting / in some paths
---------------------------------------------------------------------
$cfgGalleryDirWeb = '/gallery/'; // absolute web path to gallery files
$cfgImageDirWeb = '/gallery/images/'; // absolute web path to image dir
$cfgImageDirLocal = '/home/www/web1/html/portal/forums/gallery/images/'; //The local path to the image dir
$cfgThumbDirWeb = '/gallery/thumbnails/'; // absolute web path to thumbnails dir
$cfgThumbDirLocal = '/home/www/web1/html/portal/forums/gallery/thumbnails/'; // The local path to the thumbnails dir
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kuska, there are a lot of improvments in this one. Does not require Safe Mode, banning options in comments, copyright in the pictures, users can view latest coments on their pictures, admin can overview the comments and more ... no you will not lose anything by upgrading. Do a backup before anyway.

Mist, Koutaru, Moyses, thanks ! It?s my friend ?ke who has coded it for me. :)

Kurayami, can you post your path settings in galleryconfig.php ?

Zelda-King, you must let the server admin install it for you on the webserver.

Moyses, is the files there ? The directories security right ? The path?s in galleryconfig.php is right ?

seeyou & Da_GoTTi, ill be back about that. :)

[Bergman]

This is how to figure out the correct local path to your gallery dir:

1. Create a file called phpinfo.php in Notepad.

<?php

phpinfo();

?>

2. Upload the file to your gallery dir
3. Run the script through your browser
4. Copy the path without "phpinfo.php" in variable _SERVER["PATH_TRANSLATED"] found in section "PHP Variables"
5. Verify the path in galleryconfig.php
6. Delete the phpinfo.php on your webserver

[seeyou]

HI, I have the problem of ImageMagick, I am on Window2000+Apache Web Server, and I have installed ImageMagick, but don't know how to key in the local path, and now everything is working, except the thumbnails function, I have tried so many different method, and can't make this ImageMagick work, pls help.

Under Windows platiform, there's are no need to set chomd 777 or writeable, the exact things to do is how to find out the path for "convert" and "compose", pls help.

[Bergman]

seeyou, found this in the Image Magick documentation about Windows installation:

Found at http://www.imagemagick.org

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

PATH

This sets the default list of places were Windows looks for EXE's and
DLL's. Windows CMD shell seems to look in the "current" directory first
- no matter what, so that is why you really don't have to muck. If
you wish to run any of utilities from another location then you must
add the path to your "bin" directory in. For instance, you might add:

D:\CVS\ImageMagick\VisualMagick\bin

to do this for the default build environment like I do. One slight
problem with this is that fact that Windows has another program called
"convert". I usually rename this to something else since it is only
used to convert disks from FAT to NTFS.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

[seeyou]

Thanks Bergman for your advice, but I am running on windows and apache, if the exact path is correct, there's no reason why ImageMagick not work. I can run the whole gallery but only convert and compose command doesn't work, file can be upload to server, no thumdnails can be make.

The only problem is the setting of ImageMagick. Help please

[colicab-d]

colicab-d, it seems to be some problem with the $cfgForumDir ... have your tried with /home/virtual/site4/fst/var/www/html/cupboards/ instead of /var/www/html/cupboards/ ?

[colicab-d]

will do

[colicab-d]

nope same error

[Bergman]

colicab, your gallery works for me now ... no errors.

http://www.artorg.co.uk/cupboards/gallery/index.php

[colicab-d]

ok wtf :P

[colicab-d]

ok my next prob is that i cant access the admin area even tho i set the thing up

// Put the forums usernumbers for the OakGallery Admins here (comma separated).
// Like this: '1,2,3,4' - NOT like this: '1, 2, 3' !!!
$cfgAdminList = '1,2';

i assume it means my userd id? which is 1

[Bergman]

Yes its your user ID number from the forum. Then you must be logged in with that account in the forum also.

[colicab-d]

i am :P

[ricoche]

Hi there,

It appears I'm getting some similar errors as a few other people here and I would like to know how they got it to work, if in fact they did. It's driving me crazy at the moment as I've check my paths, database info, permissions, forum id, etc. over and over with no luck.

Thanks.

Moyses, is the files there ? The directories security right ? The path?s in galleryconfig.php is right ?
[/B]


Hai!
the files, the paths in galleryconfig.php is right

The directories security???????

[Bergman]

ricoche, have you uploaded the phpinfo.php mentioned above ? Which path has it ? I want to check some things in it.

You have MSN Messenger ? My adress is anbem@wmdata.com

[Bergman]

Moyses, yes the webuser must have write access in /images/ and /thumbnails/

[Bergman]

ricoche, are you currently trying to do something with your site ? It is working sometimes when i access it ...

[Kurayami]

I've checked the directory structure again even with PHPinfo, and it's exactly the same... the files are all uploaded as well; it just can't seem to find them. The interesting thing is that my folder structure is exactly the same as the other two users who are having the issue: home/user/public_html/

I'll PM you the address to my gallery.

Moyses, yes the webuser must have write access in /images/ and /thumbnails/

yes, I am sure... the CHMOD for this directories are 770

[Bergman]

ricoche & Kurayami, i have spoken with Åke now and he is pretty sure that you are missing this in php.ini. Can you verify and test ?

include_path = "."

[Yaxio]

is there a way to get rid of the database error at the bottom for vb versions 2.3.0 ?

[Yaxio]

also, how do i delete a category?

[Bergman]

Yaxio, Åke is working with the problems with 2.3.0 and you cant delete categories från the gallery. We have choosen to not have that option due to security. Use PhpMyAdmin or simular to do that.

[Yaxio]

ok. when i upload an image, it renames it like: 27-1613999029-banana.gif

But the gallery calls it like: 3.jpg

How can I solve this?

The 3.jpg is the thumbnail image. You can access the original 27-0913590135-banan.gif by clicking on the thumbnail (3.jpg) and then clicking on the 3-m.jpg (the image shown in the 'image view'). Then you'll access the original image! :-)

To all of you - It's really nice that you like my script. It's nice to see that my time seems to have been well spent :D

[Yaxio]

it doesnt make the thumbnails in the /thumbnails directory.
it DOES make the regular sized image though in the /images directory.

The /thumbnails dir is chmodded 777 so i know it has right permissions.

Any help?

There seems to be a problem with your convert application. Make sure you have specified the correct path to convert in galleryconfig.php . If you have shell access, try to run the command manually from the shell ... like: /usr/bin/convert
and see if it outputs anything.

Or maybe the server is running in "safe mode"? Then your server admin needs to install ImageMagick in the 'safe mode binary directory' but you'll have to talk to your admin about that.

[Bergman]

Yaxio, do you recieve any error message when you upload a picture ?

5. Make the directories 'thumbnails' and 'images' writeable by the webserver.

E.g:
chown nobody thumbnails
chmod 770 thumbnails
(In this example, the webserver is run as user nobody.)


770 or 777?? :speechless:

Try 770 first and see if it works, if it doesn't - try 777 _or_ you can change the ownership of the directory to the webserver user:

chown nobody images

('nobody' (e.g. Debian) or 'apache' (e.g. RedHat 8.0) )

Sorry, not in this version. It might be done in a future version, but i think you should try getting ImageMagick installed on the server...

[winky6]

ricoche & Kurayami,

You need to add the full server path in all the files in the include folder for the included files.

include('sql-' . $cfgDataBaseType . '.php');

should be

include('/your/server/path/forums/gallery/include/sql-' . $cfgDataBaseType . '.php');

I did this to all the files in the include folder that had the include statement & it fixed all my errors.
:banana:

[ricoche]

Excellent Winky6! That fixed the problem perfectly. Thank you.

So far in addition to the instructions I had to do the following to get the gallery to work.

1. As Winky6 mentioned above, you have to go into the php files in your include folder and manually modify the include paths. ( Details in post above ).

2. My server paths for ImageMagick's convert and composite are as follows. You might want to try dropping the "X11" if having troubles.

$cfgConvert = '/usr/bin/convert';
$cfgComposite = '/usr/bin/composite';

3. I CHMOD'd my image and thumbnail folders to 777.

4. Used an iframe to integrate this with vbportal. If anyone has any other idea that works please let me know if possible. Thanks.

I'm still testing this, but everything seems to now work. Again thanks to winky6 for the kickstart and I hope my settings above will provide other users with some additional ideas for tweaking if needed.

Thanks again. Nice script so far.

Ricoche :bunny:

[Kurayami]

Ah, thank you very, very much winky6!
You've saved me a great deal of trouble... the gallery's working great now. :)
Just one question, though: Is there anyway to stop the vB database error from appearing...? I really don't want to have to go through the trouble of downgrading to 2.2.9, but I'm loving the script.

[kuska]

This is a great hack. Is there a possibility for the next upgrade to have a search included, and Nicknames in comments would be links to the comentee picture???? Or can you write a addon? :) With a large database of pictures people are getting ++++ed looking for their pictures, and looking for pictures on the people who posted a comment on them. :)

[grace819]

Wow! Finally an alternative to Photopost! Gotta give it a try! :)

[kuska]

Mabye a PM notification on a new comment? Or am i asking 4 too much :)

[Bergman]

Great that you get it working guys ! But you should not need the full path?s in the include?s. Have you checked that you have this line in php.ini on your server ?

include_path = "."

Kurayami, a solution for 2.3.0 should be fixed. :)

Kuska, there is a hack for PM on Comment for ver 1.0. Maybe that work ? Now we have the "Comments on your pictures"-function instead. Any tips of improvements is apreciated ! :)

[Bergman]

Have everyone got it working ? Otherwise please post your problem again ... include the following:

- Path to the gallery
- Path to the forum
- Path to phpinfo.php
- Path?s in the galleryconfig.php

Then it will be much easier to help you out. :)

This is not an option for some of us. Being at the mercy of our ISP's, they are the ones to make the changes.

As for why the error in 2.3.0, I am scanning the diffs in the files between 229 and 230.
When I'm sure what the problem is, and find a fix, I'll let you all know.

[Zelda-King]

I now have ImageMagick on the server. I still have the thumbnail problem though. Here's my configuration;

$cfgGalleryDirWeb = '/bb/gallery/'; // absolute web path to gallery files
$cfgImageDirWeb = '/bb/gallery/images/'; // absolute web path to image dir
$cfgImageDirLocal = '/home/virtual/site62/fst/var/www/html/bb/gallery/images/'; //The local path to the image dir
$cfgThumbDirWeb = '/bb/gallery/thumbnails/'; // absolute web path to thumbnails dir
$cfgThumbDirLocal = '/home/virtual/site62/fst/var/www/html/bb/gallery/thumbnails/'; // The local path to the thumbnails dir
// Put the forums usernumbers for the OakGallery Admins here (comma separated).
// Like this: '1,2,3,4' - NOT like this: '1, 2, 3' !!!
$cfgAdminList = '1,2,3';
$cfgForumDir = '/home/virtual/site62/fst/var/www/html/bb/'; // The local path to the forum dir
$cfgGalleryDir = '/home/virtual/site62/fst/var/www/html/bb/gallery/'; // The local path to the vGallery dir
$cfgConvert = '/usr/X11R6/bin/convert'; // Local path to ImageMagick's convert
$cfgComposite = '/usr/X11R6/bin/composite'; // Local path to ImageMagick's composite
I don't need composite and convert CHMODed to 777 as well, do I? :/

[auz1111]

Is there another way to configure this hack to use something besides ImageMagick? my host does not have this component and will not install. :(

[Bergman]

auz1111, not for the moment ... GD will maybe work in the next version.

winky, ok. Yes, please let us know if you solve the 2.3.0 problem. :)

Zelda-King, what is the path to phpinfo.php ? Does the webserver have write access in Thumbnails directory now ?

[Zelda-King]

- I can't find phpinfo.php but I know I have PHP. Where 'should' it be?
- Yes, my CHMOD settings for thumbnails and images were 'finally' changed to 777. Seeing as the setting for thumbnails is the same to that of images and the images thing works OK, that isn't the problem now.

Two things in the requirements I'm unsure of;

The variable include_path = "." in php.iniI don't know where that is in order to check. If php has that by default then that should be OK as I KNOW I have PHP.
OakGallery currently requires a web server that allows you to run shell commands from php-scripts (for ImageMagick).I know nothing about that.

For the record I'm using vBulletin 2.3.0.

Current gallery status: Check here;

http://www.gamercrossfire.net/bb/gallery/index.php

Maybe you can eliminate a few problems?

[Bergman]

Zelda, your gallery seems to work except for the thumbnails. Either there is some problem (wrong path?) with "convert" or there is som security problem with thumbnails directory. Your Php.ini is probably ok because you have no errors on your gallery.

Hopefully Åke has some good ideas about your problem.

[Zelda-King]

Well, the folder directory thing is correct. Then again so was /home/var/www/html/bb for the forum directory but that didn't work. I had to use /home/virtual/site62/fst/var/www/html/bb even though there is no visible /virtual/site62/fst/ path there. It goes from 'home' to 'var'.. Adding the /virtual/site62/fst/ doesn't work in this usr folder though (for composite/convert).

[Bergman]

Zelda, have you verified the local path to convert with you server admin ?

Where might one find "php.ini" to make the necessary change to kill a few errors? I'm having the same troubles as a few others and I'd like to fix it correctly instead of editing the full path into the includes files as recommended by Oak and Bergman.

I've searched high and low and I'm not finding the file. Any suggestions?

Rose, unless you are on a dedicated server, the php.ini file is an ISP issue, and it would be up to them to change it.

One thing I have noticed with my host...
I do not have path problems untill I go 3 deep into subdirectories.
It must be a virtual server quirk of some sort. :bunny:

garoboldy - you're having the same problems as I am. If it's not run locally, the only way (I can think of) to fix most of the errors is to hardcode all files that contain "include('" in them to the full path. But I'm still getting a sql error that I can't get quite fixed.

users posting pictures in the galleries?

2. What about bandwidth, has anyone noticed any spikes using
photo galleries like this where you're running out of bandwidth?

This php script will automaticly pick a random image from OakGallery 2.0 thumbnails section and display it on your forum homepage or any other non VB site. I use it, easy to install, just edit path to your OakGallery 2.0 Thumbnails folder and upload. It attracts more people to chceck out the gallery - worked wonders for me. Try this out, looks real nice on the home page.

Install time 1 MIN :)

***Instructions***

1) Edit the path to the thumbnails folder in randomimage.php

2) Save and upload randomimage.php and chomod it to 775

3) Open forumhome template in your Admin CP and place the call out code anywhere desired by your likes.

<img src="url/randomimage.php"height="125"width="125">

*** End Install ***

Few things you might not like.
Since the thumbnails folder contains also the Medium sized pictures this might be a bandwidth issue for some people. That is not a problem for me because i have enough bandwidth (for now)
but i did not see any sygnificant raising in bandwidth usage since the script ONLY shows a new picture on reload or opening the forum in new browser window. Constant returning to forum home in the browser does NOT refresh the picture which seems to take care the bandwidth problem. This is not the best solution for a random image script, but it works for me and i didint want to wait for the next OakGallery2.0 Update. This is a great hack and just trying to help. Make sure you have your height and width in the call out script or your going to have some problems with tables.

Hope someone will use this... Here is the randomimage.php and ill add a screenshot below.

[kuska]

Sample pic of random image is circled in RED

[kuska]

This hack has HOTM potential if a search engine will be added, PM on new comment, and nick as links to the comentee picture :)

[Koutaru]

yes :) a search engine. Also maybe allow users to have a "light box"? so they can keep track of their favorite images? Also image description?

Heh heh, I'm thinking about 4images xD

Thank you for helping me!! (I think i'm the only loner still running 2.28 =))

I changed the Session\sessionhash fields "Length/Values*" to 255 from 32 but it didn't fix it.

Tried to go higher then 255 but it said:
MySQL said:


Too big column length for column 'sessionhash' (max = 255). Use BLOB instead


Tried changing it to a BLOB, but it said:

The used table type doesn't support BLOB/TEXT columns

I'm curious if anyone has this working correctly in 2.28

This is interesting... It has to be something with the session-handling, since the first time you load a page on a site which gives the error - the error is NOT shown, but the next time you load a page - you DO get the error. Therefore, it has to be the sessions...

Does the update from 2.2.x to 2.3 (not RC1) also change the table field type? Or was it just RC1 which did that? I wonder what extra information is put into the hash value in 2.3.0 - or if it's a MySQL issue..?

Can someone give me an idea what I can do??

[EvilCrow]

Well thanks for all the help ppl... But I found out myself why.. my web host doesn't allow ImageMagick on there servers for some Reason :

ImageMagick is too heavily dependent on the X-Libs (security issues)...

Oh well.. Would have been a really nice hack..

i use vbulletin 2.3.0 and the gallery is working except that i get this error:

WOO-HOO! I'm not alone!! Someone has the same error as me.

PS: It's starting to become a real pain in the ass deleting 400+ Vbulletin Error Emails everyday.

[noelmd2001]

i seem to get it working in 2.3.0

what i did was just to put the gallery tables in the same database as vbulletin.

and lo and behold, the mysql db errors (sessions) disappeared!

hope this helps anybody!

[winky6]

You guys beet me to the punch line.

I just happened to read the install instructions again last night, and saw the part about creating a seperate database for the gallery.

It would seem to be a better sollution to have the whole setup on the same database if you going to use the vbulletin user table.

Beyond that.

COOOOL Gallery :banana:

[Koopa]

Can I install Imagemagik myself or does my host have to do it?

[Bergman]

Great that you guys "solved" the session problem. Now we have something to go on to solve it the right way. ;)

Koopa, your server admin has to do it.

[Koopa]

The variable include_path = "." in php.ini

Not sure what that means....

[winky6]

Great that you guys "solved" the session problem. Now we have something to go on to solve it the right way.
:confused: :confused: :confused:

Maybe it's my defensive side, But I think the "Right way" is to have both the gallery and VB on the same database.

By having the script call 2 seperate config files, you are leaving open an area for exploits.

As for the issue in the php.ini file....

Many webhosting providers are 2nd and 3rd party resellers.
So for them to setup their "Virtual servers" properly, they leave some settings "Undefined".

I would suggest that in the next release, or in future ideas, adding in an additional variable, or use an existing one, and make the paths in the include statement to some thing like..

In gallery config -

$cfgGalleryDirLocal = '/home/user/public_html/photos/'

In the include files
include($cfgGalleryDirLocal . '/include/sql-mysql.php');

no you have to ask your host to install it for you. also you have to ask you host to make this change in the php.ini file

The variable include_path = "."

[Bergman]

winky, good idea fort the path?s and the database. I will speak to ?ke about it. :)

[labrador]

The install worked fine for me (seperate database), but I can't upload images though.

the error after pressing 'submit' is:
Error moving file - Please contact system administrator
After running phpinfo i noticed that it has no php upload path specified.
Could this be the problem?
If so, is it possible to specify a temp folder?

I am also on a virtual hosting account without access to php.ini so i would like to be sure what is wrong before requesting a modification @ my isp.

i have not checked all features yet but this hack looks great sofar.
The only features i have not read anything about is folder redirection per username (only upload in your own folder for easy management, maybe even auto-delete images when removing a user), quotas per user and a way to give permission to use the gallery on a vbb user basis.
Maybe i am to demanding, then consider this a wish-list :)

Thanks for the hard work & sharing, bergman and associates :)

[edit] The error is solved now by chmod /images and /thumbnails to 777 instead of 770.
Now i only need ImageMagick on the server...
Request to provider is made, fingers crossed :D

Put your gallery tables in the same database as Vbulletin, and the error will go away. :confused:

[garoboldy]

well I have yet to see any type of answer to my post earlier...am I the only one that seems to be getting this error or what??

[Bergman]

garoboldy, your problem seems to be the the include_path in php.ini on the server not is right configured for this gallery but we are going to release av 2.01 today that fixes the path-problem.

[Splitfyre]

In moving more towards what PhotoPost does, is there any ability within Oak Gallery to do the following:

1. Limit the function to specific forum categories?
2. In that category can people create galleries that would generate a thread
3. Once that thread is created, other users can just use the reply function to go in and add more
photos to the existing thread.

Let me know if this is possible.
Thanks :)

glad to hear bergman. I will appreciate the new version today...thanks

garoboldy, how did you solve it ? With any solution from this thread ?

Splitfire, this gallery has no function to integate so much with the forum today if not someone has written a hack to it.

Hey nice hack got one problem. Some of my users when they try to add a picture get this message.

The page cannot be displayed
The page you are looking for is currently unavailable. The Web site might be experiencing technical difficulties, or you may need to adjust your browser settings.

Some of them dont have the problem. Can some one tell me how i can fix this. Its like when u press submit it doesnt take you the uppload_handle but the browser shows the link

[garoboldy]

I just ran the tables in the vbulletin database and it fixed it...now I am having problems with getting images to upload for some reason..not sure why.

[v0nreagan]

Bug report:
I have reports that people with unpatched IE 6.0 (Internet Explorer v. 6.0.2600.0000) that is shipped with Win XP can't see pictures in showimage.php (OG 2.01).
They can see thumbnails, but upon clicking the whole page is displayed with no picture at all. This problem wasn't present in v.1.0, and I personally can't repeat it on any IE6 SP1 box but obviously it's not my place to force potential gallery users to upgrade their browsers....

[Logikos]

Works good but one prob

i get this while trying to upload

Error moving file - Please contact system administrator

[Bergman]

[]\[]emesis, the solution for your problem is already in this thread.

Ver 2.01 which solves the path-problem is done bur we are waiting with the release until some more features is included.

sorry i have already fixed that, i should have edit my post. Again sorry :)

[Bergman]

Nemesis, no problem. Please post you gallery link also ... ;)

[Logikos]

Its needs alot of work, ive been going back and forth with moding the php and templates and adding my own to fit with my board. Heres the link of what i have so far. http://www.thenemesis.net/Forums/gallery/

The thumbnails arn't showing up so im in the middle of fixing it.

[winky6]

:rambo:

I tried to get your thumbs to show up by pasting the image path in the browser, and it still says page not found.

Check your paths, or perms... It may be thinking it's creating it, but it's not.

Also, for future releases.......

user permissions, or group permissions for posting of images would be nice...

Also, sub-catergories should be seperated so that only one picture in that sub shows up in the main cat.

Is anyone else having probs with the random.php. I can get it to work no matter what I do.
It keeps giving me a mysql error

Thanks

[Littlebit]

Oops, I have a few more little questions.
*Are admin options available to set that only registered and logged in members can submit an image or make a comment?
*Will I be able to modify the code so that the image doesn't get so large that its page needs to be framed and scroll to the left or down with a frame?
Hope that last question made sense!
Oh, and
*are members having each their own gallery page in the works?

directly in the path ?

/usr/X11/imagemagick/convert ?

no i did not manage it..

muchas grazias.. i will call my server admin and ask him.. if he has installed the imagemagick :)

[Guidster]

You can throw my site in as a production site:

www.allthingsmoto.com/gallery

[Highlander]

many people dont have image maigc..and many of them could not install it cause they dont gt an own server .. so the standart for thumbnails and picture galleries is GD 1.0 or higher.also the most of them dont got GD2.0 ..the most providers..dont let the webmaster control the php.ini or installing new software like upgardes or imagemagik..
..so it would be nice..if there would be support for GD1.0 GD2.0 or image magik..so the users who installed this software can choose what they have istalled to show the images correctly.. and also an instant access ti php.ini inst normally for most of us .. there should be another way to include the files..cause editing the php.ini is not allowed to most of us..

are you planning to make updates for users like me?

greets Highlander

www.spieleplanet.com <- installed an alternatiove gallery, wich was written for phpBB ..this gallery supports GD1,2 and Image Magic..and as addin phpBB users can choose the correct user database to make it work like this gallery..

[gmarik]

Highlander, I can only agree with you - I would use this hack, if it would have GD2 support, but now - it's useless. What is that phpBB hack - can you show it in action?

[Stud_Muffin]

Can you just use a precompiled version of ImageMagick's convert and composite and point to them? This is assuming you don't have full access to install it properly.

[Highlander]

this is it:
http://spielplanet2.de/forum/gaming/screens/index.php?cat=2

it uses only phpBB if you got this.. but it support GD1.0 GD2.0 and ImageMagik ..it goit Slideshows, e-Cards an all comfot a expensive tool Like Photo Posts meets..

the only thing i turned the user registering off..cause i got my users of vb in the forums.. so oak galerry is the same..but it only supports imageMagik..and ImageMagik only is preinstalled if you install it.. or you can get root rights.. but 90% of webmasters host their sites on some preinstalled servers without root rights..and known issues of paths to imagemagik..so most of them really did not got GD2.0 just GD1.0 support..cause many Server companies have to pay much money that their users could user things like this..

if oak gallery would dupport all 3 kinds of image compresison like GD1 and 2 and imageMagik..it would be really better than the 120$ expensive PhotoPost :)

@Muffin .. i cant install imageMagic..cause i dont got root rights..to look below my home diretories. So its unpossible for me to user THIS GREAT hack..if it would support gd it would be better than PhotoPost!..

..i really just thought to install Photopost..but a test and first look showed me it only support imageM;agic too.. so a software 120$ expensive dont works for me....till a better way coems up i have to use this version i insatlled on my site:
http://spielplanet2.de/forum/gaming/screens/index.php?cat=2

[winky6]

Highlander,

I don't agree with you.

1st, most of the people who write hacks here at vbulletin.org do so for FREE , and share them with the public without any compensation.

They then spend the rest of their time answering, and re-answering question about installation that was covered in the install instructions.

NOW, if you want to spend some of your free time, why dont you write a hack that has all those beni's that you want in your forums.

Now, if some of you are using a host that doesn't have Imagemagick, I would suggest you switch to higher quality hosting company.

Personally, I use venturesonline.com, and they have GD 2, and Imagemagick.

[cinq]

Use 4images (http://www.4homepages.de) if u wish , theres a mod in their forums for vB integration too.
Supports GD and imagemagik and netbpm too.

just fyi

2) Save and upload randomimage.php and chomod it to 775

3) Open forumhome template in your Admin CP and place the call out code anywhere desired by your likes.

Hi all,

Ive got everything in place (so I think) but I am getting "Error moving file - Please contact system administrator" when I try uploading a file. I know people have come across this problem before and I know someone will say chmod 770 to images and thumbnails (777 is 770 doesnt work) but I have done that and do not see where the problem may be.

I have a slight hunch it may be that I have not specified a tmp directory (step 7 of installation) and not chmodded it. Where do I create this directory if I need to ???

thanks

// Cyrus

[limey]

Whats your path settings?

is your forums: http://www.foo.com/forum/gallery ?

if so you need to add forum in front of gallery in the config.

[cyrus]

OMG !!! Limey, ur an angel in disguise ... THANNKKSSS ITS WORKED !!!

THANKS AKE AND BERGMAN for this release.

[cyrus]

Is it possible to change the date/time for the gallery of when image is postted, because right now mine is incorrect and I dont know how to fix it.

[NeilMcRae]

I've found the issue with missing thumbnails. If you are getting this its because imagemagick hasn't been installed correctly and has no way to process the image that you are trying to work on.
The program will be exiting with an error message like this:

convert: No decode delegate for this image format (/data/html/www.z4roadster.org.uk/gallery/images/3-1627537269-Z4_E85_RO_maincar.jpg)

Also check that your comments or messages have no spaces in them as that confuses the script.

If you want to check if this is your problem then its pretty easy, but you need system admin to the box that you are using:

do the following:

cd /usr/local/bin [or wherever your binary for convert is]
mv convert convert.old
create a script called convert [vi convert or emacs convert]
#!/bin/sh
echo $0 $1 $2 $3 $4 $5 $6 $7 > /tmp/test2

Then try to upload a file using oakgallery.

Once you have done this you can look at the file /tmp/test2:

/usr/local/bin/convert -geometry 160x120> -comment www.z4roadster.org.uk - Gallery /data/html/www.z4roadster.org.uk/gallery/images/3-1627537269-Z4_E85_RO_maincar.jpg[0] /data/html/www.z4roadster.org.uk/gallery/thumbnails/4.jpg

you should try to run that on the command line and see what happens. If you get the same error as I did above then its because that imagemagick hasn't been installed with all its components properly.

The fix that for FreeBSD is to use the imagemagick in the ports part of FreeBSD, on NetBSD I'm just about to test the imagemagick thats in that section.

hope this helps.

Neil.

[Highlander]

why does no one includes a support for GD 1.6/1.8 or higher ? ..everyone ..really every server has this feature..but imagemagick is a feature only own server admins can include or install..so it means that we as simple webpage admins never can use this great script :(

..why no one who got the abbility works this simple feature out?..so after installation may choose GD or IM suport .. if this would be integrated it woudl be better than Photopost andevery other script.. without that a big usergroup cant use this script! and thats also the reason, whay after moth only 14 pages of answer are placed in this thread..

[NeilMcRae]

highlander you pay for what you get!

[Highlander]

thats no matter .. paying or not paying..but why dont using standarts like GD this is defintifely installed on 90% of all Webserver (linux and windows!) ... imagemagic is for free but is installed on a few percent of webservers..

paying is not the role of my question :)

highlander yes, I think you just need to be more patient :D

Installed on clean (well, it was clean once - now it's got all kindsa hacks in it) vB 2.3.0 installation. I installed the tables in the forum database and have no errors.

I run it in a borderless frame with my forum logo and header buttons above it and with a tiny bit of creative frame targeting it's just about a seamless integration.

Outstanding hack. I'm getting ready to pitch photopost and punch the PayPal button.

Oh, yeah - the link.

punch the "pics" button on any forum page.

Hello Bergman,

Thank you for a great hack!
I have only one question. Is it easy to implement so only users from a certain user group would be able to add photos? I don't want users without email confirmation to be able to post pictures.

Thanks again!

[Ig@r]

nevermind, I've done it myself

[nimmo]

pleeeeeaaaaaaaaaassssssssseeeee

[Ig@r]

nimmo, it is easy

Change it to real path to your file:
/home/inlinep/public_html/gallery/

Do the same with other variables.
Good luck!

Hello again,

is there jno way out of using only IMAGE MAGIK? .. is there no posibbilty to use GD support?.. i love Oak Gallery and when i see all the samples it makes me sad about the thing that i aint got root/shell accounts/rights or Image Magik intsalled on the server.

I need something like IoOak Gallery with GD support .. why is there no support for standarts like GD? .. everyone who has a PHP webserver also has GD 1.6 or 1.8 .. why is this programmed only for root server? We the simple peaople..who dont got 50$ or more for a own Server .. cant use somthing great like Oak Gallery..cause we got only shared Webspace .. so again we have to search for expensive scripts like photopost .. bzut i dont give up.. i will search again for something similar.

please.. dont tell.. "code it by yourself" i would if i get the abilities to do so!

Please some programmer: Convert support for GD :) .. and i will cklick the paypal button as many times as my mouse can do it ....

I would like to use random.php. But have not figured out how. Here is my site:

www.crawlclick.com

I would like to have one picture pop up under "Photo Gallery" on the left. This section is HTML coded not PHP. I edited random.php so only one picture will show.

www.crawlclick.com/gallery/random.php

I just can't figure out how to implement it into either php or html.

Any help/tips would be appreciated.

CHOW!

Hi!

I'm sorry that I haven't replied to many of the questions here. I just don't have time to browse the forums... :-S

Just wanted to tell you guys that OakGallery 2.03 now has support for libGD and libGD2.0 ! .. This means you don't have to use ImageMagick binaries anymore!

The functionality is somewhat limited though, as it cannot overlay logo, text and things like that - But thumbnails are still resized and saved to file like with ImageMagick.

E-mail me if you have any questions!

If only it would have some design.
Maybe we could make it together better - I'm a designer, at all...

Does Oak work with vB 3.0.0 Beta 7?

Reason I ask, is everytime I set it to vbulletin in the config file. I get this error

Warning: chdir(): No such file or directory (errno 2) in /home/gt358/public_html/gallery/include/getuser-vbulletin.php on line 15

If I change to IP type, it seems to work (just don't know how to admin it in IP mode and would like it to use the vb3 usernames).

No this hack is for vb2. No hacks here at vBulletin.org work with vb3 as practially all the code has been changed. Also hacking discussion is not currently allowed here until the RC1 is released (refer to announcements forum for more info) :)

Hey, nice script.

How did you do it Ig@r.

[ScottW23]

mmhhh
photopost 4 free


Yeah, and a BMW 7-series is the same thing as a Ford Focus.

[Mr L]

Yeah, and a BMW 7-series is the same thing as a Ford Focus.

I could not agree more. For an old forum that I ran I brought PhotoPost and had all kinds of problems with it. I believe that I am technically aware however the product that I downloaded, I had to install patch after patch to get it intregreated with vBulletin and then it still didn't look good. At the time (over a year ago), I expected the product I downloaded to be fully working, but it was not fit for use which was a real shame. Eventually I got it working and it was reasonable then, but it was a long and painful road.

So, this does make OakGallery the BMW 7-series of Gallery software. Something that is free and equally has support of a great community and is meant to be part of vBulletin by the add on that it is.

[mlevenson]

Ok so I go tthis installed and I have been testing it out, so far so good except I'm getting error's on file size. It seems that when I upload a file of 603546 it fails due to the configured limit of 524288.

I have modified the galleryconfig.php $cfgMaxFormFileSize = 30720000 but there is a comment on it that it can be ignored. I even hard coded in this value in the upload.php file and I still get an error.

HELP!

You need to change the setting in your php.ini. The problem has nothing to do with the HTML being sent to the client, but is a limit set in php itself.

I think the directives you need to change are:

upload_max_filesize = 8M
post_max_size = 8M

8M can replaced with something else, like 1M or 2M ..

?ke

Ok they both are at 8M they where set to upload_max_filesize = 2M post_max_size = 8M prior so it shouldn't have been any big deal. I copied the exact error that I'm getting in the log file.

[Thu Dec 11 08:03:29 2003] [error] [client 209.221.185.226] Requested content-length of 610908 is larger than the configured limit of 524288, referer: http://www.r1wolfpack.com/gallery/upload.php

If I change the file and make it 65K it works just fine.

Problem was not with the php.ini I found that the file size was being limited by the php.conf file located in httpd/conf.d directory. There is a line called limitfile size or something like that when I changed that to 6M and restared apache it worked fine.

[coolmile]

Doh! It was my fault. I hadn't added my userid. :D


i have the same problem. i just installed the latest version 2.03, and i coudln't see the second line on the admin page.

what do you mean by "didn't add userid"? it could help me figure out the problem.

after installed, it shows i logged in as admin.. but no way to add categories.

if type in the url manually to create category, it says i need to be an admin to do that..

[WeBBy]

First, your problem coolmile...

Search for yourself on vB (in control panel), then click on edit or something, and look at the address for userid=x. Whatever that number is, that is your userid #. Then, open your galleryconfig.php. On line 74, you will see "$cfgAdminList = '1';". Change that "1" to your userid# and it should work.

NOW MY PROBLEM...

It would appear that Oak Gallery and the small calendar hack dont get along too good. This is my error when trying to upload:

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home3/www/basementsystems/dealerarea/cal.php:121) in /home3/www/basementsystems/dealerarea/gallery/upload_handle.php on line 108

Any idea how to get around this and or what the problem might be?

Thanx

EDIT: IGNORE THIS POST (I really should just delete this post but maybe someone is as stupid as I am and will be helped by it). Removing the end comment "<-- End of vbPortal calendar script" from the cal.php script solved the whole problem. What a dumb ass .. lol :O

[ScottW23]

So, this does make OakGallery the BMW 7-series of Gallery software.

LOL sorry no, I don't think OakGallery is the BMW 7-series of Gallery software. It's silly to say that all applications that allow image uploads and user comments are automatically in the same league whatsoever. After 2-3 years of development work, maybe oakgallery will get there - who knows, but it isn't now.

PhotoPost has been developed for several years with thousands of manhours and has improved VASTLY since you installed it over a year ago. Here's an example, PhotoPost is now deeply integrated with vBulletin 3: http://www.photopostdev.com/

Nice to see that you obviously saw there was issues and it could have been improved. I shall certinally be taking a look when I am not at work later today. :)

[phenomenon]

Any idea if Oak Gallery will be upgraded to vb 3 compatibility?

[Keyser S?ze]

i relize everyone is into vb3 now but i am sticking with vb2 for a long while, and was wondering if this hack is going to be updated for vb 2.3.2

thanks alot

[Datenpapst]

Will there be an updatefor 3.0.0 Gold?

[allan grossman]

I spoke to Ake on this a few weeks ago and at that time he didn't have a vB license any more so he couldn't port it to vB3. Maybe that's resolved now :)

[SpeedysWorld]

Maybe he could give someone else permisson to port it? I really would like to use this hack, it's just what I need and the 4images one has to many errors.

- SpeedysWorld

[Bergman2]

I will speak to Åke to fix it with vb3. He can try it out on my server.

[iceman-x]

What is hapening? Have Åke found ho to fix this problem ?. Ore is there som one else that can, modify this to work under vb 3.

thanks in advance.
