A new gallery manager : Album

Russ · Post by **Russ** » Tue Jun 06, 2006 4:41 pm

Well done Elijah on all the good work

Maybe some problems?
1. I downloaded the latest Album from SVN and uninstalled the old version and then re-installed the new one which of course failed. Changed the version requirements so it would work with 0.13 final. Recreated two albums, CD Covers and Metal Photos
I have an album index page...
http://localhost/cms/cmsmodules/album/

In it is {cms_module module="album"}

This lists two albums which show links to
http://localhost/cms/cmsmodules/album/album-1/
http://localhost/cms/cmsmodules/album/album-2/

I can click on either album to open the gallery? But end up at either
http://localhost/cms/cmsmodules/album/album-1/
or
http://localhost/cms/cmsmodules/album/album-2/

Which is the same page with no images at all? Am I missing something or is something else updated in the CMS SVN that is required for this too work?

Would it not be better to use the calling page and the album name (lower case and spaces removed)?
e.g.
http://localhost/cms/cmsmodules/album/cdcovers/
http://localhost/cms/cmsmodules/album/metalphotos/

and then
http://localhost/cms/cmsmodules/album/cdcovers/1/
http://localhost/cms/cmsmodules/album/cdcovers/2/
etc. for each image

The same could apply to news, but with categories and date? Or perhaps just date and article, I'm not sure how people do it normally for news?

2. You are inserting JavaScript into the page?

Not sure if this is a good idea. It makes more sense to me to tell users and let them include it by default - you can use the code for more than just this! If you do want to do it like this then please give an option to turn off inserting the javascript - so we can do it manually if we like

Which one of the many files is this in?

I see you are putting it in the smarty template - very good idea !

Would be great if Album has the option to add a watermark to each picture.

devforge http method gives error, and svn client (tortoise svn) says "error * REPORT failed on ..."

If you were just using the command line in Linux the command would be:

svn checkout http://svn.cmsmadesimple.org/svn/album

I've never used TortoiseSVN, but looking at this page: http://tortoisesvn.sourceforge.net/docs ... 05s03.html
It looks like you just do the following:

Select a directory in windows explorer where you want to place your working copy. Right click to pop up the context menu and select the command TortoiseSVN → Checkout...

Then in the URL of repository try putting this:

http://svn.cmsmadesimple.org/svn/album

Hope this helps.

I've tried TortoiseSVN and RapidSVN and the usage is plain simple, but each time I try to do a checkout it replies:
Error 400 bad request.

I tried it from another location behind another firewall and it works there. I don't know if it's connected to forge's SVN system or not.

Elijah, did you have any thoughts on my previous post?

Hmm... Latest SVN works fine for me. It also worked for greg. I'd try updating to the latest SVN again and see if it still doesn't work. Also I would try uninstalling and reinstalling Album. Also make sure you have your .htaccess file set up like the one here:
http://wiki.cmsmadesimple.org/index.php ... retty_URLs

I think the current URL format is as good as its going to get. I can't find an easy way to get them much nicer. I'll likely never get around to improving the News URLs. Feel free to submit patches if you come up with a way to give Album better URLs, I just don't have the time to try making them any better right now.

Work perfect for me.

Hi, I can't get this to work for some reason. I changed both references in lib.defaulttemplate.php, but I am still getting the same thumbnail behaviours. Look at my galleries below:

http://www.brisbanebikers.com/cms/index ... _club_2005
http://www.brisbanebikers.com/cms/index ... cruze_2005

Both are set up the same way (embedded in a content page). But both behave differently. And both annoy me. I'd like to just see the thumbnails and pop up into a new stripped window (preferable tailoired to the image dimensions) to view the image.

Any help appreciated,

TonyG

I have just released Album 0.5.0 which includes a template called "Pats-ImageGallery". That template should do what you are wanting.
You can download Album 0.5.0 from here: http://dev.cmsmadesimple.org/frs/?group ... ase_id=500

Elijah is there a way to 'Upgrade' the Templates from one version to the next?

I just upgraded from 0.5.0-svn to 0.5.0 (which added 'Pats-ImageGallery" template).

The version changes on the 'Modules' page but the new templates don't show up on the 'Templates' page on the Photo Album management screens. They show up if I do an 'uninstall' 'install' of the module but then I have to rebuild all the albums.

BTW Great job on this Module!!

Not yet, but I'll hopefully eventually add the ability to restore the default templates: http://dev.cmsmadesimple.org/tracker/in ... 7&atid=728

In the meantime you can just copy the content of a ".tpl" file located in modules/Album/templates/db to a new Album template.

Hi Elijah

What is the XML file for ... and do I need it?

You can optionally use the XML file to install the Album module instead of unpacking and uploading the contents of the .tar.gz file. The downside of this is that on some webservers you won't be able to modify the files in modules/Album because they will be owned by the web server user and not you, this makes patching Album files difficult.
I've added a note about this to: http://wiki.cmsmadesimple.org/index.php ... ns/Modules
