Image Gallery v1.0

Instructions in the ZIP file (gallery.txt). Should explain most details of installation. I haven't done an INSTALL from scratch, so you get to beta test that part of the program.

The gallery itself seems quite stable. I added some load limiting/checking options before releasing as well. Let me know how your installs go, features you'd like to see, etc.

If you want to see an example:

Ok, I know a lot of people got this to work but I need to say a couple things since I had a lot of problems

First, The instructions are kinda slippy. It didnt really point to where things should go. There are line numbers but that doesnt do any good with notepad.

It doesnt have everything in order. Should you upload all the files first? which goes next. In order would be nice.

I have installed UBB hacks. Vb hacks and custimized some of the hacks. This one I just couldnt figure out.

I think the dox needs a bit of a updating. Step by step instructions. I know there a pain in the butt to write but its helpful for other people to do the hack then trying to figure out what you ment.

Great hack idea. It looks great on boards I see it on. But docs could use some help.

This is only a suggestion. If the dox do get updated can you please reply that you updated them. Then I will take a third steb at it.

I added a little more to Zamtil's instruction in the hopes to make the install easier for everyone. It's a great hack and works great as well. You just have to know how to install it.

This is how I did it just this morning on a new site. It might help someone out.
This should go without saying, but as with any hack Zamtil nor I take any responsibilty if you screw up your site. I have used the hack on 4 seperate boards and have not run into any problems. That being said, be careful and backup anyway.

mojotim, thanks. I'll be installing this hack shortly so this will come in handy.

I just went into my change options in the Admin CP and the options to change for the gallery have been added three separate times.

Everytime you run galleryinstall.php it adds the templates and options again. The ones at the top are the new active ones. I tried to peek at your site but it was down for maintenance.

So how do you delete the others?

[mojotim]

i think you'd have to go through the style to take out the ones in the options. I left'em, screw it...I've got a lot more to worry about than that
You can remove the templates easy enough from the control panel. Just leave the top one of each gallery component.

I installed the hack, but this is what I get. I made the changes to the code as suggested here in the thread since I'm running the older version of ImageMagick. Any ideas what I should do?

Have you run admin/gallerymakethumbs.php?

I'm not sure how you got the admin options three times, sounds like you did a couple of refreshes of galleryinstall.php. Should be able to clean those up with your favorite SQL tool.

It ships with 2.0.1, I assume 2.0.0 as well. It's just a little utility JelSoft wrote/provides for customizing options. The Image Gallery stuff should be down near the bottom, leave one grouping of them, delete the others.

When I initially ran the make thumbnails file it listed all the files that it made....282...etc. The files are listed in the database, but they are empty. If I try running it again, all I get is this:

Processing attachment #31: buyersguide.txt. Not sure what that is, but I don't think it would hamper making thumbnails for any of the others.
