integration didn't work out for me. whenever i try to deinstall the old plugin, it just shows me a white page (the same if i use the new functions.inc). if i use the extra functions.inc that is supposed to be used for the deinstallation, it doesn't do anything.
after deleting the plugin manually from the plugins table and starting from scratch, it runs the installation but points to /admin/plugins/G2Bridge/install/
this folder doesn't exist though. if i point to install.php i get


using GL 1.4.0sr2
Gallery2.1.0

Which version of GL_Gallery2 were you using?
The functions_upgrade_to_G2Bridge.inc was copied directly from GL_Gallery2 v.0.5.0, with just the function to remove users from Gallery disabled.

What does your error.log say?


as for the undefined function, make sure the normal G2Bridge functions.inc is in path_to_geeklog/plugins/G2Bridge/

If you removed the plugin manually, I don't see any problem simply installing G2Bridge.

Hope this helps

I am receiving a simmilar error:



The last line in my error.log file is:



The plugin seems to have partially installed, but when I go to the Gallery2 config from the GL admin menu, I receive the following:



I am using Gallery 2.1

I took a look at functions.inc, and found this line at 690:



I do not have a user with the ID of 3. Could this be creating the problem?

Thanks.

Julianna

The problem is caused when you are trying to add(map) a user from geeklog to gallery that already exsists in gallery.

try a couple of the techniques in this thread here.

and the 3 is the admin groupid in gallery that we were trying to add you to.

Thanks a lot for your hard work!

Just a small remark: I noticed that the Random Photo block seems to take up quite a lot of CPU time, any thoughts on reducing this? Maybe it would be possible to limit the random photo's to the last album or something.

Hi,

I tried to install this plugin (G2Bridge1.1_current.zip) but I also just get a blank screen after clicking "install".

I am using Gallery 2.1.1 with GL 1.4.0sr5-1.

My G2 install is at public_html/g2 and my GL is at public_html/gl.

Below is part of the plugins config.php:



error log stops at "Mapping users from GL into G2"

Sorry I tried to create an account at the support site but it didn't work.

Thanks in advance,

PlaygroundPeople

it seems your paths are not quite right .

you should try full system path ie.
$_G2B_CONF['G2_path'] =' /usr/home/local/htdocs/public_html/g2';

if both gl and g2 are in public_html, $_CONF['path_html'] would not work.

Hope this helps.

My question concerns the sidebar image block clutter. It seems as though having it replicate the image blocks is pointless as when you click on the gallery it looks awful with them replicated right next to each other.

So was there a question?

Is there a way to have the image block function of the bridge be useful? If you have to have the blocks showing in your gallery it makes them showing in geek log sort of redundant. Is there a way to add the set of blocks without having them showing in gallery?

Sure.
in public_html/G2Bridge/index.php

around line 88 just before:

add:

this tells gallery not to show its sidebarblocks.

Beautiful, was that something I missed in the readme? I've come across a few other forums where people were looking for this exact thing. I guess they didn't make it to the actual geeklog page. Definitely a setting you'd want to add to the file, unless it was already there and I was too daft to catch it. Either way, thank you very much.

One more thing if you have a moment. Is it possible to edit the heading of the blocks. Right now it just says Gallery2. If I could change that to a linked image it would suit my tastes a bit better, though if this isn't possible I understand. Thanks.

The block title is inserted into the db and geeklog does not support html for block titles
But there is a way to use images for block titles.

in public_html/layout/yourtheme/blockheader-left.thtml
geeklog calls the title here:

and I've been known to use this instead:

Although at this point all block titles will be replaced with images(.gif) of the same exact name.


No, but it was in my forums on mysite prior to my moving it.
And I did not move all the old forums with it sorry.

Also I should get off my but and release an update as there are a couple of minor changes since Gallery 2.2 and GL 1.4.1

1) I want the block to appear at a specific image size with the HTML title correctly appearing instead of <a href="">A sample photograph</a> on display at the museum should appear as A Sample Photograph on display at the museum.

2) Furthermore, it would be helpful if the block appeared on the footer independently from the right/left blocks is this possible?

3) How do I set the block NOT to link to the gallery image URL and just be graphically imbedded?

There are some config options for random photo block in path_to_geeklog/plugins/G2Bridge/config.php
and more info can be found in your gallery admin->image block

Also I have made a flash-based mini slideshow which you are welcome to.

In the G2Bridge block, I want to edit the layout and HTML size of the Times New Roman text which does not match my CSS. I can't find which file to edit that will make minor adjustments to the way the image block appears - i.e. spacing, fonts...

Also, is there not a way to place the image block in the footer rather than block?
