Requriments:
Database Server

- 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!)).

I know this isn't directly a hack question but I don't really know the procedure to install ImageMagick. The installation instructions are gobbledeegook to me. I try sticking it on the server as a .tar file and the server doesn't want to know because it's gzipped, so, I unzip it myself and upload it. Then what? and what directory should I put it in? I know it's meant to install itself into the bin directory or something. If I open configure in a browser though I just get a text screen. How's it meant to install? I can't have the thumbnails without ImageMagick.

I tried that. I don't think there's anything I can do until my system administrator edits the CHMOD settings.

The weird thing is I can change permissions at the database. Even by default the permissions are all checked, but on FTP it keeps reverting after it says the permissions were successfully updated. Probably because in the database both the owner and group are named 'admin'. On FTP the owner has full permissions but not 'group' or 'public'.

I check the folders on the FTP though and the files ARE uploaded to the images folder (but not the thumbnails one).

I have the same thing, exactly, I think this is the config issue of unix shell, and we don't know how to config the path and locate "convert" & 'compose", please help.

man, my server said they installed ImageMagick on it, i look inside my usr/bin area threw cPanel, what EXACTLY am i looking for to make sure i know it is installed.???

[Bergman]

colicab, yes every forum member is allowed to post images, comment, rate etc. ?ke wants that the copyright should be visible because of the script are for free. Maybe you can speak to him about it ?

unixboard, you seem to have missed the starting / in some paths
---------------------------------------------------------------------
$cfgGalleryDirWeb = '/gallery/'; // absolute web path to gallery files
$cfgImageDirWeb = '/gallery/images/'; // absolute web path to image dir
$cfgImageDirLocal = '/home/www/web1/html/portal/forums/gallery/images/'; //The local path to the image dir
$cfgThumbDirWeb = '/gallery/thumbnails/'; // absolute web path to thumbnails dir
$cfgThumbDirLocal = '/home/www/web1/html/portal/forums/gallery/thumbnails/'; // The local path to the thumbnails dir
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kuska, there are a lot of improvments in this one. Does not require Safe Mode, banning options in comments, copyright in the pictures, users can view latest coments on their pictures, admin can overview the comments and more ... no you will not lose anything by upgrading. Do a backup before anyway.

Mist, Koutaru, Moyses, thanks ! It?s my friend ?ke who has coded it for me.

Kurayami, can you post your path settings in galleryconfig.php ?

Zelda-King, you must let the server admin install it for you on the webserver.

Moyses, is the files there ? The directories security right ? The path?s in galleryconfig.php is right ?

seeyou & Da_GoTTi, ill be back about that.

[Bergman]

This is how to figure out the correct local path to your gallery dir:

1. Create a file called phpinfo.php in Notepad.

<?php

phpinfo();

?>

2. Upload the file to your gallery dir
3. Run the script through your browser
4. Copy the path without "phpinfo.php" in variable _SERVER["PATH_TRANSLATED"] found in section "PHP Variables"
5. Verify the path in galleryconfig.php
6. Delete the phpinfo.php on your webserver

HI, I have the problem of ImageMagick, I am on Window2000+Apache Web Server, and I have installed ImageMagick, but don't know how to key in the local path, and now everything is working, except the thumbnails function, I have tried so many different method, and can't make this ImageMagick work, pls help.

Under Windows platiform, there's are no need to set chomd 777 or writeable, the exact things to do is how to find out the path for "convert" and "compose", pls help.

[Bergman]

seeyou, found this in the Image Magick documentation about Windows installation:

Found at http://www.imagemagick.org

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

PATH

This sets the default list of places were Windows looks for EXE's and
DLL's. Windows CMD shell seems to look in the "current" directory first
- no matter what, so that is why you really don't have to muck. If
you wish to run any of utilities from another location then you must
add the path to your "bin" directory in. For instance, you might add:

D:\CVS\ImageMagick\VisualMagick\bin

to do this for the default build environment like I do. One slight
problem with this is that fact that Windows has another program called
"convert". I usually rename this to something else since it is only
used to convert disks from FAT to NTFS.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

[seeyou]

Thanks Bergman for your advice, but I am running on windows and apache, if the exact path is correct, there's no reason why ImageMagick not work. I can run the whole gallery but only convert and compose command doesn't work, file can be upload to server, no thumdnails can be make.

The only problem is the setting of ImageMagick. Help please
