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!)).

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.

http://pointbeing.com

punch the "pics" button on any forum page.

edit: The link to the gallery alone is http://pointbeing.com/gallery

On another note -

I asked a question in "hack requests" about integrating OakGallery and vBHome Lite so I could put a thumbnail of the last picture uploaded on my front porch. If anybody has any ideas I'd be most appreciative.

Here are the errors I get when trying to access the gallery.

Warning: chdir() [function.chdir]: No such file or directory (errno 2) in /home/inlinep/public_html/gallery/include/getuser-vbulletin.php on line 13

Warning: main(./global.php) [function.main]: failed to create stream: No such file or directory in /home/inlinep/public_html/gallery/include/getuser-vbulletin.php on line 14

Here are the paths to my directories.

/// Absolute web path to gallery files
$cfgGalleryDirWeb = '/gallery/';

/// Absolute web path to image dir
$cfgImageDirWeb = '/gallery/images/';

/// The local path to the image dir
$cfgImageDirLocal = '/public_html/gallery/images/';

/// Absolute web path to thumbnails dir
$cfgThumbDirWeb = '/gallery/thumbnails/';

/// The local path to the thumbnails dir
$cfgThumbDirLocal = '/public_html/gallery/thumbnails/';

/// The local path to the forum dir
$cfgForumDir = '/public_html/forums/';

/// The local path to the vGallery dir
$cfgGalleryDir = '/public_html/gallery/';

I just ran the tables in the vbulletin database and it fixed it...

[nimmo]

can anyone help?

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!
