I got a problem using Gallery in the page content. Whenever I add a Gallery to any page content, the top and bottom parts of the page template disappear. I checked the module FAQ about this, but the only thing related was about large image sizes, and my images are really small (~10kb).

Page template:

Code: Select all

"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

Doctype, everything in body and below #font-size goes. I tried Gallery on another site with same PHP settings, and it works fine. I used the default Fancybox template and my own templates(removing CSS and JS etc.) and changed the image subfolders, but the only thing that fixed the template was removing the foreach, so that no images are displayed. I had a gallery in the page template itself and it didn't cause any problems.

crbn, could you turn debug on in the config.php file and see if any error messages appear? Also look for them in the html sourcecode.

crbn · Post by **crbn** » Sun Jul 25, 2010 5:49 pm

Found the culprit pretty quickly:

Code: Select all

Catchable fatal error: Object of class stdClass could not be converted to string in /public_html/tapparatimantit/tmp/templates_c/Printing^%%CC^CC3^CC3377B7%%module_db_tpl%3APrinting%3Blinktemplate.php on line 22

Seems to be linked to the printing module. Removing the printing module tag from template helped, though it's not a permanent fix since I wanted to use it.. I'm getting the following notice on other pages:

Code: Select all

Notice: Undefined index: image in /public_html/tapparatimantit/tmp/templates_c/Printing^%%CC^CC3^CC3377B7%%module_db_tpl%3APrinting%3Blinktemplate.php on line 22

And the line in that file that gives the notice/error:

Code: Select all

<?php endif; ?> rel="nofollow"><?php echo $this->_tpl_vars['image']; ?>

EDIT: Got it fixed finally, just had to modify the printing template.. Weird though. Thanks for the tip about debug mode anyway

Jos · Post by **Jos** » Sun Jul 25, 2010 6:05 pm

crbn, glad you fixed it, cause I wouldn't know how...

This was reported earlier by Maarten here: http://forum.cmsmadesimple.org/index.ph ... #msg198693

And a workaround was offered by Rolf here: http://forum.cmsmadesimple.org/index.ph ... #msg200705

Can you tell us what exacly you changed in the printing template?

crbn · Post by **crbn** » Sun Jul 25, 2010 6:16 pm

{if isset($imgsrc)}
{capture assign='image'}

{/capture}
{$image}
{else}
{$image}{$linktext}
{/if}

I trimmed out the bolded part from the print link template. That image tag was causing the problem, I have no idea why though, because it became a fatal error only when I put a gallery to the page content.

Jos · Post by **Jos** » Sun Jul 25, 2010 6:33 pm

Nice thank you...

Gallerytemplates set the {$image} variable as an object in the foreach statement. And that one cannot be called directly with {$image}

Jos · Post by **Jos** » Sun Jul 25, 2010 9:29 pm

I added this issue to the troubleshooting section of the Gallery documentation.

You can solve it by deleting the last {$image} tag, just the one right before {$linktext}.

It shouldn't have been there at all because the variable is not set there. That's why your second error was Notice: Undefined index: image.

I filed a bugreport for the core about this also.

Hello Jos,

I would like to know if there is an option for creating custom thumbnails. For some odd reason they keep getting overwritten by the default thumbs every time I open the Gallery...

Thank, btw, for bringing this forum under my attention. (loads of answers in here!)

All the best!

Edwin

Jos · Post by **Jos** » Thu Aug 12, 2010 3:08 pm

Hi Edwin,

Gallery uses two kinds of thumbs.
1) the thumbs in the same directory as the original image, with the prefix "thumb_"
2) the thumbs in the directory uploads/images/GalleryThumbs.

The first ones are standard used in the backend, and only used for the frontend if thumbwidth/height are not set in the gallery template settings. I think you can overwrite those with your own ones (but am not sure)

The second ones can not be replaced with your own thumbs, because Gallery checks if the sizes correspond with the actual settings.

So it's not an odd reason... it's a feature

Edwin_IandD · Post by **Edwin_IandD** » Fri Aug 13, 2010 10:25 am

Hmm. tried that, but I'm afraid it's not doing the trick.

I removed the size for the thumbs in the template settings and uploaded my custom thumbs (being of the same size anyway), but nothing changed.

Also in the backend the thumbs are still the old (resized) ones.

It looks like the image manager is interfering here...

Can you tell me if there is anywhere I could tweak the code so I can use my own thumbs (I can go looking myself, but hopefully you can easily tell me...)?

Thanks a lot anyway, so far.

Edwin
