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!)).

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

[garoboldy]

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

[garoboldy]

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

[Splitfyre]

Anyone know have ideas for what I asked above?

[Bergman]

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.

[PiotrasG]

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.
