...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!)).

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).

// IMPORTANT PATH SETTINGS
	//
	
	/// 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 = '/var/www/html/gallery/images/'; 
	
	/// Absolute web path to 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';

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)

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!

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.

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.
