(This is done simply by including random.php in your own PHP page)

...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!)).

$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

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

[EvilCrow]

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 :

ImageMagick is too heavily dependent on the X-Libs (security issues)...

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.

[noelmd2001]

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!

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?
