[MRs2]

I tried to install it, but I think I'm missing something.
The zip just gives me a few buttons (gif's instead of jpg), the xml and one page of installation guide.

The installation guide doesn't say anything about creating a template, nor the necessary name, nor any code to put in there.

Some posts further I see that the template is supposed to be called threadbit_gallery instead of template_gallery, so now I have two clue's that are never mentioned before:

1 I need to create a template
2 it's name is to be threadbit_gallery

That second post also tells me to create a new phrase in "Forum_related". I'm not exactly sure what you mean by forum_related. Perhaps I will know what you mean if you say that in German, then I can find it in my English version.


I have 3.5.4, and just like Grendel had before: all I have is an extra forum.
I can't even switch it off, because the switch doesn't work.
My database is correct though: fields gallery and gallery_cat are there, and properly showing the 1's and 0's at the right records.

I hope you can help me!

First of all, did you create the needed templates?

You do this:

ACP->Styles&Templates->Styles-Manager->Selecting from the Style-Options-Men?: Add a new template.

Give it the neccessary name and in the big field fill in the code for the template.

For setting the category up:

Set the Display-Order to '0', so that it isn't visible (but still accessable) and 'Act as Forum' to 'No', as you already thought.

Before the save-button for the forum-options you should have a new YES/NO-Option named 'Gallery'. This is the gallery-option. Set this to yes.

This should be all.

The effect you got sounds like, that you didn't set the Gallery-Option to yes. Did you also don't forget to run the needed query? Check your database, if there is a field called 'gallery' in your forum-table.

To be sure i will check the code for vB 3.5.0 Beta4 tonight.

Also, i've found an type-error in the original-text:

The new template to create isn't of course called "template_gallery" but "threadbit_gallery". Sorry for the typo.

And second: You have to add a new phrase.

Place it in forum-related and call it Gallery.

The text for the phrase could be: "Use as gallery?"
