Kuska, there is a random.php included in the OakGallery already. But nice hack anyway. :)

Im going to speak to ?ke about the problems that some of you are experience. I?ll be back ! :)

How many people are getting the "Session" error from vbulletin ??????

For some strange reason, I am not getting the error running 2.3, and the only thing I can find between the versions is one of the update scripts in the release canidate updated the sessionhash field to a larger field.

So if some people are getting the error in this merge, I would guess the fix is in the vbulletin database field itself....

ok this may sound stupid but I'm only getting a blank (White) page no errors nothing but a blank page.. Anyone Help?

$cfgGalleryDirWeb = '/gallery/'; // absolute web path to gallery files
$cfgImageDirWeb = '/gallery/images/'; // absolute web path to image dir
$cfgImageDirLocal = '/big/dom/xcrowsworld/www/gallery/images/'; //The local path to the image dir
$cfgThumbDirWeb = '/gallery/thumbnails/'; // absolute web path to thumbnails dir
$cfgThumbDirLocal = '/big/dom/xcrowsworld/www/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';
$cfgForumDir = '/big/dom/xcrowsworld/www/forum/'; // The local path to the forum dir
$cfgGalleryDir = '/big/dom/xcrowsworld/www/gallery/'; // The local path to the vGallery dir
$cfgConvert = '/usr/bin/convert'; // Local path to ImageMagick's convert
$cfgComposite = '/usr/bin/composite'; // Local path to ImageMagick's composite

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:
Tried changing it to a BLOB, but it said:
I'm curious if anyone has this working correctly in 2.28

Thanks again for helping me out here!!

Doh ! :)
I guess i did that because i didint upgrade yet :)

And the reason is i dont see instructions for a upgrade : \
Do i need to create a new data base? Just over write the old files? I dont want to loose my old pictures and comments. :rambo:

ok how do i find out if ImageMagick is installed on my server?

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..?

I need help with this since I don't have a machine to run tests on with vBulletin.

If you have shell-access, run "whereis convert" or "which convert"

And about the include-file errors: I'm working on an update which will fix those errors without the need to have include_path="."

I get the error every single time i hit a gallery page, even after clearing my cookies and temp files.


I don't know, but maybe this will help:

hi...

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

i can upload photos, comment on them, create categories.. everything is fine except for this error...

anyone can shed a light on this please???

.

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

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 :

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

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.

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!

thanks very much dude.

that solved my problem as well.

Great hack by the way.

excellent work

OMG! That worked!!!!! Thank you!!!

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:

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

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.

The variable include_path = "." in php.ini

Not sure what that means....

: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 = "."

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

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

Any way to limit where people can setup galleries (i.e. can I set specific forums to have this functionality?

Getting the following error message:

Database error in vBulletin 2.2.8:

Invalid SQL: DELETE FROM session WHERE sessionhash=''
mysql error:

mysql error number:

Seems weird since everything else works just fine.

1. Is there a way in which I can allow registered users on my
forum to create sub-categories within a particular category?

Sometimes I wonder about people.

If you read up about 6 posts, you'll see we already addressed that issue.

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

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??

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.

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

now I am getting this with the new version 2.01

nevermind. I fixed it and I am testing uploads and what not now...great job guys...good work.

Anyone know have ideas for what I asked above?

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

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.
