For the past several months, I have been working on integrating Gallery2 with SMF (it started after I found that Coppermine didn't have everything I wanted). I am pleased to report that the integration project is moving along nicely and I will start beta testing soon. Here's a list of features:
Complete integration - whenever a user updates their profile in SMF, it is automatically updated in the gallery as well.
Two different modes - choose from "embedded" mode (gallery displayed inside the forum) or "bridged" mode (everything is integrated, but users are redirected to the external gallery)
Membergroup integration - option to link membergroups (useful for setting up quotas, etc.)
G2 Image Chooser - Complete integration of the G2 Image Chooser script (using bbcode), making it much easier for users to post images from the gallery in the forum
User Album links - If you have the user album module enabled, you can choose to link to a member's user album in their posts and on their profile. URLs are generated through Gallery, so the URL will always reflect your setup.
User Profile links - If you have the "members" module enabled, you can choose to display a link to a member's Gallery profile in their forum profile.
Registration - User accounts are created the first time the user accesses the gallery. SMF automatically checks with Gallery to see if the username is registered there. If it is, SMF will inform the user of this and ask for their gallery password. Otherwise it will ask for their forum password.
SSI.php - Image block functions in SSI.php to make complete site integration a bit easier. Simply pass the appropriate parameters to the function and it will do the rest for you.
Some features included in Gallery2:
Modules system - add or remove functionality as needed - if you don't use something, simply deactivate or uninstall the module.
Individual galleries - if you choose, each member can have their own personal gallery, and can configure it to their likings
Sub-albums - create albums within albums
Comments system - allow users to leave comments on photos.
Highly configurable system - Choose what types of files can be uploaded, how big they can be and more.
Custom fields - add custom fields to albums.
EXIF/IPTC - customizable EXIF/IPTC information - choose how much information to display in both "Summary" and "Detailed" modes
Much much more...

Latest news (November 16th, 2011):
Version 1.0 final is out, compatible with SMF 2.0 and above. See website for complete details.
Looking great. :D
I would be willing to beta test it.
i would luv to test it.,..
I am silling to run it through the ringer a bit. been waiting for an integration like this.
Hey bro whats up. im interested in beta testing it also.
Link not working?
The link should work now... My host might have been down when you tried it.
I'm putting the finishing touches on everything now and will post more info on beta testing soon.
i got errors

was checking this out today. this is exactly what i want, i hate coppermine, top work. when are you expecting to release?
EDIT: and any chance i could get in on the beta testing i'm eager to get this started on my forum. cheers.
EDIT2: is it working properly now? it was fine this morning but now it doesn't show up the same and if i click on anything i get sent to another smf board.
I updated the code last night and forgot to change a couple of parameters to match what I was using there. It should work fine now.
I am almost done with this (just have to finish getting the 1.1 Beta 3 Public code together and make sure the mods install properly), so I will be posting code for beta testing on that site (http://smf.oldiesmann.us/galleryproject/index.php) soon. Glad to see such a big interest in this :)
Does this run off 1.05 as well? I really like the Gallery. I was never too fond of Coppermine.
When logged in clicking on Gallery button I get the following error.

this does not happen if I am not logged in, can access the gallery.
Same for me. Only when logged in. ^^^^^
Where do you get the Gallery2 to test it??
Definitely would love to help beta-test if you still need people! Thanks!
I've been wanting to move to gallery2 for a while now. I can't wait!
Why Gallery2 is better than Coppermine? ::)
I dont know, but I'd love this! Im running beta now! ;D
i would love to test this one as well.
thank you!!!
where do i get it?

how?
I think he means he is running the Gallery 2 beta. not the integration.
yeah, thats what I meant. I want the integration as badly as everyone else here ;)
Gallery2 can be downloaded at http://codex.gallery2.org - if you need help installing it, let me know.
I will take a look at the code and see why it's giving you that error message. It really shouldn't be doing that - it should automatically create your group if it doesn't exist.
I have been pretty busy the past week with other SMF-related things (upgraded two boards [including re-designing the look of one of them], am going to upgrade a third one tomorrow, then have to help someone transfer their site to another server), so hopefully I'll be able to get this out within the next week or so.
As for why Gallery2 is better than Coppermine:
Sub-albums
Gallery is displayed right inside SMF, so you don't have to leave the comfort of your board to manage your gallery
Access rights can be set on a per-album basis (can also be set globally - for an entire group or for a specific user)
User albums are not seperate from the other albums
Ability to assign owners to specific albums
Many "modules" allowing you to add or remove features with only a few clicks
Much much more

I am a bit curious as to why you think Coppermine is better though...
never tried Gallery. Coppermine was waaaay too complicated for a gallery, so i just built a page with pictures and called it a gallery :)

If you think Coppermine is complicated, you won't like Gallery. It's a lot more complex.
Dan - have you even looked at Gallery2? Gallery2 has a lot more options and settings than Coppermine...

No, but I don't really like the layout of it.
Getting The page cannot be displayed error when I try to go to http://codex.gallery2.org Is their a problem with the site or is it just me??
I think even Galleryv1 is very kewl i dont know v2 yet, but its besides the requirements an alternative to coppermine.
Gallery2 is a major improvement over the original Gallery, so you should love it. It's a lot bigger and more complex than Coppermine, but it's quite powerful.
As for where to download it - it seems they've changed the URL again... It can now be found at http://www.absolve.com/Gallery2Download - Gallery2 Codex.htm (http://www.absolve.com/Gallery2Download%20-%20Gallery2%20Codex.htm)
Is the integration in the forseeable future? Im really waiting for this one! I have users who take photos for our forums, and would love to allow certain users to post their photos online for us. ;D
Oldiesmann, is there possible to convert from Coppermine to Gallery2? I want to convert my CPG and to use your G2 integration to SMF!

Yes. It should be available for beta testing within the next couple of weeks, and the first stable version should be available within a month or two depending on how beta testing goes and how much time I have to work on things.

You might be able to go from a standalone Coppermine to a standalone Gallery2 (I don't remember), but converting from Coppermine to the Gallery2 integration will require additional work for the members. Unlike the Coppermine bridge, which simply relies on SMF's members table, the Gallery2 integration will create a seperate gallery account for each user, then link each user account in Gallery with that user's account in SMF. Once I get a stable version of the integration released, I'll work on creating something to convert from Coppermine. There will also be more options available for Gallery2 once the final version of that comes out - it's currently at RC2 (codename "kthxby" - I can explain what that means if you can't figure it out...).
Here is a link to a working site -- if you want to take a peek at it -- http://www.rranderson.com/dvd/gallery/
ok,
I want to implement this Gallery within my Mambo+SMF Bridge'd.
Where is the mod to do this? This would be a new install and would also be a beta test if needed.
There is only 1 requirement I would need.
That a certain membergroup of SMF have access to post there pics in there own album, but have ALL members have access to see ALL pics.
Please let me know ASAP. I want to install this today !
I'm interested only for the albums not for the members, or comments of the Gallery. I have a Gallery with about 5616 photos in 30 albums and don't want to do again all the job that I'v done!

oldiesman, that link is not working any more. is there any other place where i can get a copy of this?
thank you man!
any chance we can auto copy images attached to forum posts to the gallery and also keep the uploader details (i.e. username)?
That would be nice if every image uploaded would become part of the gallery if the person wants to. Maybe a check box in additional options.
@oldiesmann
i want to become a beta tester

Sweet! ;D
Cool!
Iam really waiting this integration!
As everyone has said: "I CAN'T WAIT FOR THIS!"
Please allow me to BETA test as well.
I run smf 1.05
I need an integrated Gallery badly.
Coppermine just isn't doing it for me.
Thanks for all your effort.
I will be checking into this thread regularly. :)
but where I can find this integration for test on my 1.05?

There is no release out yest. It's just an example of a integration hes working.
Can I be notified about beta testing. I am using SMF 1.1 RC1
Register at http://smf.oldiesmann.us/galleryproject/index.php and I'll make sure you get notified. The 1.1 version will be released a bit later than the 1.0.5 version because I've been developing everything in 1.0.5, and I want to take advantage of all the new integration features in 1.1, so it's easier if I finish the 1.0.5 version first and then modify that to work with 1.1...
Will this work with Bloc's Tiny Portal without any problems?
just waiting for my activation email! I want to be a beta tester. Im running 1.1 RC1 as well. ;D
yer site won't talk to me any more oldiesmann :'(
gerry... in theory, not only should this work with TinyPortal (which, after all is still a superset of SMF) but with the php block ability in Tiny portal, you'll be able to run the "image block" function from gallery2..
Cool. I'll give it a proper go once the next version of TP is out and its fully working on my test board.
Update on the project:
I have implemented new code changes on the project site for the new account system. In order to fully test this out, I have also re-enabled registrations in G2, so people can test registering seperately in SMF and G2, then linking the accounts together. If all goes well, I should have a 1.0.5 version ready for beta testing soon. :)

Sorry Kindred. It doesnt like being set up as reccommended as on Oldiesman's site. I installed G2 along with TP0.7.4 and SMF1.1B3 and the copyright from SMF vanished leaving the whole site a mess. Uninstalled G2 and restored from backups and all is well. There is a clash there somewhere.
I'll play with it during the week...
Very cool!

What exactly are you doing? Currently there is no integration for G2 and SMF 1.1. I'm almost done with the one for 1.0.5, and will start on one for 1.1 RC1 soon. The integration will add an image block function to SSI.php, which will make displaying images in various places much easier.
Another update: For those of you who are interested in beta testing, please register at http://smf.oldiesmann.us/galleryproject/index.php (if you haven't already done so) and post in the "Testing requests" topic. That way it will be much easier for me to keep track of who wants to do the beta testing.
I will gladly beta test on 1.1 RC1 and future versions if needed
I really excited to be a part of the 1.1 version. thanks for the updates via email. ;D

I set it up to see how it works as a standalone gallery. But to make integration possible later, I followed your site info and set it up using the same datbase, with the G2 directory in the same directory as index.php. That crashed the site. The TP/SMF parts of the site worked perfectly, once the G" install was complete the site lost the SMF copyright and most graphics. Deleted all the G" stuff, and copied inex.php back to the default theme and the site works perfectly again. Let me get my test board back on to the same versions, andf I'll do it again there so you can have a look.
I have no clue why installing G2 would break SMF. I've done it several times and have never had any problems - simply uploaded the tar.gz file to the appropriate directory, logged into the shell, cd'd to that directory then did tar -xzvf on that archive and deleted the archive once it was done installing.
I'm interested in beta testing your software, but it appears that your host is pretty unreliable. I was able to get on a couple days ago to browse around a bit, but since that time I keep getting a 'Host not Found' error. :(

Amen.
I have not yet had time to work on the 1.1 version of this integration. Hopefully I'll have time to do this in the next few weeks.
Just drop in to see how this project is going anf to say Hi -- Hi all 8)
Am sure others have a look at this thread to see progress- I check it every day (sometimes twice :P )
Sorry for not responding sooner. The 1.0.5 version of the integration is pretty much done. I am going to be working on the 1.1 version soon (as soon as I have more time to do so). Once the 1.1 version has been made, I will start beta testing.
Also, once beta testing starts I will work on a "random photo" block function for SSI.php.
Sounds kewl. Thanks for the update.
Another update:
I will start beta testing for 1.0.5 sometime in the next few days. I have decided to skip 1.1RC1 and make the first 1.1 version compatible with RC2 instead, because RC2 has an additional integration hook for updating user info (which will greatly reduce the number of changes that have to be made to SMF). I will start working on that after I start beta testing for 1.0.5.
Really a nice work
But I think there is something wrong with the configuration.
Look at the top of the page and see what it says.
Ya I was going to say that. I get the same top screen message in both firefox and IE.
This is going to be a wicked integration btw. Thanks so much for doing it. Gallery 2 is a fantastic gallery software.
/** * Set configuration parameter * * @param string varname * @param string newvalue * @return string */ function ini_set($varname, $newvalue) { return ini_set($varname, $newvalue); } } ?>
I know all about that text. One of the files got uploaded in ASCII mode when I upgraded to Gallery 2.0.2 a few days ago. I'll fix that in a few minutes.
Also, a quick update:
The 1.0.5 version of the integration is ready for beta testing. If you would like to beta test, please register at http://smf.oldiesmann.us/galleryproject and post in the "Testing Requests" topic indicating so. Please remember that this is a beta version so I am unable to provide much support for it at the moment.
I am working on a version for 1.1RC2 as well and will try to get that out as soon after RC2 is released as I can...

Awesome! Gallery2 for smf!
Just a quick query on how he beta testing is going - looking good?
any word on the RC2 progress?
I have had Gallery2 embeded into SMF for about a year now, and I have just switched away from that setup to a Joomla + SMF + Gallery2 setup so that I can keep my SMF and Gallery2 installs pretty much stock. This should make for easier upgrades down the road.
You can even setup Joomla just to load SMF as a default frontpage and not use any of its other features to get the same functionality as a Gallery2 Embedded in SMF.
Just a thought....

Thanks.
(mainly posted to track this topic via email notification ;))
jadz - Yes, that's always a possibility, but G2 is not actually embedded in SMF if you do that, and you still have to click links in the admin center to manually update membership in G2. My integration will put G2 directly in the middle of SMF (if you so choose) and handles membership better - members are not added to the gallery until they access it, and group membership is checked everytime a user accesses something in G2 (if needed).
I plan to start working on the RC2 integration soon. I've been extremely busy lately, but it's the beginning of a new term at school for me, so I won't have quite as much work for a few weeks.
is there an update for integration...i am currently using coppermine, but the integration of that was less than acceptable and still not working quite ri9ght. I stumbled across this thread (quite literally) and after looking at G2 and the sites that have it, i am thouroughly impressed and would like to switch to this as soon as possible as my coppermine gallery has very few images in it (apparently due to the crappy iintegration of coppermine)
There is currently no update for the integration. If you are running 1.0.5 or 1.0.6, I will gladly add you to the beta team so you can have the current integration. I am still trying to find time to work on the 1.1RC2 integration. School has been really busy for me lately and I just haven't had time to work on it.
Oldiesmann, this is a great idea and I'd love to have it for 1.1 RC2.
The problem with coppermine is that it is outside the forum and experience has sh own me that ppl are reluctant using anything which is not in the forum itself. Another problem I have not been able to solve with coppermine (a problem coppermine gave me no feedback on) is that users always have to log out of my forum and then log in to the gallery before being able to use it.
I would like to beta this for 1.1RC2 also. Great work on this!
Steven
I'd really like this for 1.1rc2 myself. I've seen several galleries being made for SMF but I think gallery suits my needs best.
Hmmm .... Gallery2 Integration was the Reason why i want to switch to SMF. Is the Integration for 1.1 coming or not ?
BTW - why are you working on a Integration for a old Version and not for the Upcoming Final Release ?? ???
I started with 1.0.5 because 1.1 was still in beta when I started that, and then I decided to make it for 1.1RC2 due to a certain integration option that isn't available in 1.1RC1. I will also be updating the integration for Gallery 2.1RC1 soon. Check out the project board for more details.
Thx ! ;)
With either the beta bridge that's been developed or the upcoming one, will there be the functionality to have system users comment on images in gallery2 and have the comments published as threads in SMF?
q./
Never thought of that, and while it would be nice, I don't even know if it's possible to do that without modifying that module in G2.
Hows it coming along? I would love to use this... but unfortunately I dont know enought script to do a difficult install. Is this beta easy to install?
Installing everything is actually quite simple - install SMF, install Gallery2 (preferably in the same directory [if SMF is on a subdomain] or parent directory) and the rest is a mod for SMF that only requires you to enter a few details. I haven't had much time to work on things, but am eager to play with all the development tools that come with Fedora Core 4 (just blew away my old virtual machine and put up one running Linux), so I'll try to do more with it soon.
SMF & Gallery2 are installed... do you have the link to find how to integrate them together?
I think you have to be part of the test team, here:
http://smf.oldiesmann.us/galleryproject/index.php
Anymore news on the 1.1RC2 version?
woud love to join the Team.... have just sign in the beta test Board....
but don't know if Oldiesmann is still alive ;))
would love to see this project!
just got an email back that the r2 version should be out in the next few weeks :D
<brokenrecord>Any Updates?</brokenrecord>
Im sure oldiesmann is really busy. Outside life takes priority over the internet! Thats the way things are suppose to be! Im using coppermine at the moment and it works fairly well.
Sorry, Am not sure how the above relates to this topic. This topic relates to gallery2 integration with SMF. If what you described has merit (I have no idea to be honest) it may be better to post the recommendation in a new topic.
I have been really busy over the past several weeks, but I have more free time this term than I have in the past, and I plan to work on this more soon, just as soon as I take care of a few things related to the Now Playing and Topic Ratings mods...

What I meant to get across was I prefer Gallery over Coopermine but Oldiesmann seems to be very busy at the moment. So, for the time being Im making the most out of what bridge we currently have. Coppermine. It works fairly well for me so far.
I would still like to use the gallery as soon as its available.
Whats the different of this Gallery2 and Coppermine ?
First of all: great work. This is definitely a huge addition to the community. Secondly, question: because you began development of this integration on 1.0.5, I'm assuming that it'll work on 1.0.7?
I'm reluctant to upgrade to 1.1 until it's actually at the 'final' stage.

Whats the different of this Gallery2 and Coppermine ?
Gallery2 is a much more powerful script. Some of the features it has that Coppermine doesn't include:
Sub-albums - keep things organized by having albums within other albums.
Permissions - Powerful permissions system. Assign permissions to groups or users on a global or album-level basis
Modules - This is equivalent to SMF's package manager and is really the heart of the application. The modules system lets you customize the features and configure the gallery to fit your needs. Currently there are 56 different modules available (see http://codex.gallery2.org/index.php/Gallery2:Download#Modules for a complete list).
Some advantages that this integration has over the Coppermine bridge:
The gallery is embedded directly in SMF, rather than being a standalone application
Better user management - when users go to the gallery for the first time, they'll be given the option to create a new account in the gallery (requires a valid SMF password) or link their SMF account to an existing gallery account (requires valid gallery username and password). This allows you to easily go from a standalone gallery to an integrated one without losing anything, and also allows you to go back to a standalone gallery in the future (also without losing anything). User info is updated in Gallery as needed.
Control of Gallery access - since the Gallery is embedded directly in SMF, by setting Gallery to "embed only" mode (meaning it can only be accessed through SMF and not as a standalone application), you can control which groups have access to the gallery through SMF's permissions system.
Check out the project site for more details and an example (note that the registration system still has a few bugs in it and may not work properly - I'm working on that though).
Just a quick update for those who missed it - I did some more digging yesterday and tracked down the source of the problem - it was all because I forgot to tell SMF to redirect you to the gallery once registration was complete. I fixed that problem, and am now doing some final testing. I should have something ready in about a week or so.
Thanks for the update Oldiesmann :D
Looking forward to your next update :D
Beta2 is now available! :D
Got your email today! Downloaded it, and will be testing over the weekend! YAY! ;D
Have fun!
One great thing about Gallery 2.1.1 is that their URL rewrite module works with embedded apps... It lets you do cool things like create short URLs to RSS feeds: http://smf.oldiesmann.us/galleryproject/rss/This+Album
ermmm ... 1 stupid question here ...
where can i get the codes ?
Are you a member of either "Tester" group on the project board? If not, post in "Testing Requests" there and let me know which version of SMF you want to test it with and I'll add you to the appropriate group.

Oh i c. Thanks for the answer. Will do so when i've got some time to work on it.
Currently i've been busy with some work :)
I've taken a look at coppermine & gallery2 and sort of agree with you that gallery got more features ;)
Gallery2 has tons more features than Coppermine does, which also makes it a lot more fun :)
For instance - you couldn't do short URLs (http://smf.oldiesmann.us/galleryproject/v/Oldiesmann) with Coppermine.
I should have meet this mod earlier before i install and bridge coppermine into my forum. :(
Need to find a guide on how to install it. Any idea ? :P
Oh ... I can do everything in gallery2 like what coppermine could do right ?
Example : Forummers adding comments to the picture.
If you need info on installing Gallery2, see http://codex.gallery2.org/index.php/Gallery2:How_do_I_Install_Gallery2
If you need info on configuring the mod after installing Gallery2, see the Intro/Readme topic in the beta testing section of the project board.
There is also a converter from Coppermine to Gallery2, but I'm not sure how well it works. See http://www.angier.co.uk/drupal/node/15 for more info.
Gallery2 doesn't have a moderated mode (ie approve all photos before they're displayed), but other than that, it can do everything Coppermine can and a whole lot more too. See http://www.gallery-addons.com/content/view/64/124/lang,en_US/ for more details
(And yes, I do have a link for everything ;))
that converter works (sort of)
If you want to convert from coppermine to Gallery, then install gallery2 v2.0
run the converter/importer
upgrade to gallery 2.1.1
The converter will not work on gallery 2.1 or higher...
Awesome :) Thats for such a helpful reply & tips .... Might look at this next week when i am more free :)
Thanks for that info Kindred.
How stable is this as an intergration method? Is it suitable to be run on a live site while i test it?
It is quite stable. There are still a few bugs here and there, but I'm fixing them as fast as I can find them at this point, so if you want to run it on a live site, that's fine. Just make sure your users are aware that there might still be a few bugs here and there.

I have integrate my SMF with Gallery2 using Oldiesmann's mod. It is pretty stable and very easy to install. Theres a little, but critical, thing that happens randomly during the installation.
You can see another example here. http://forum.flydamnit.com/index.php?action=gallery (this link leads directly to the gallery in the forum.
You can also make the gallery accessable from outside the forum. I run it on a life site. Had some problem for a few mins because of my mistakes. Shouldnt happen to you.
SMF 1.1 RC2
Gallery 2.1.1
just FYI for everyone - this software is definitely worth the download. If you wanted Gallery2 on your site and didn't want to mess with integrating Joomla or any other CMS into the site, this is definitely worth taking a look at. Works well with Joomla installed, as well.

Quote from: Oldiesmann on August 19, 2005, 06:33:43 PM
For the past several months, I have been working on integrating Gallery2 with SMF (it started after I found that Coppermine didn't have everything I wanted). I am pleased to report that the integration project is moving along nicely and I will start beta testing soon. Here's a list of features:
Gallery displayed inside SMF - the gallery will be accessible via "action=gallery", so you don't have to worry about linking back to the forums.
Complete member integration - member accounts are created, updated and deleted in Gallery as needed, leaving users free to enjoy the features without having to login or register seperately.
Optional membergroup integration - This option will give you the ability to set up quotas and access rights based on what group a member belongs to.
Languages - Gallery automatically detects the user's language based on the user's selected language in SMF.
Some features included in Gallery2:
Modules system - add or remove functionality as needed - if you don't use something, simply deactivate or uninstall the module.
Individual galleries - if you choose, each member can have their own personal gallery, and can configure it to their likings
Sub-albums - create albums within albums
Comments system - allow users to leave comments on photos.
Highly configurable system - Choose what types of files can be uploaded, how big they can be and more.
Custom fields - add custom fields to albums.
EXIF/IPTC - customizable EXIF/IPTC information - choose how much information to display in both "Summary" and "Detailed" modes
Much much more...

Beta Testing Info
Beta version is now available for both 1.0.x and 1.1 RC2. Requires Gallery 2.1.1
UPDATE (June 14th, 2006): Beta 2 is now available!
If you are interested in helping to beta test, simply go to the project site and post in the testing requests topic. Please remember to include which version of SMF you want to test this with.
Please post at http://smf.oldiesmann.us/galleryproject/index.php?topic=7.0 and include the version of SMF you wish to test this with...
A lot of members already listed down their names for testing. 8)
The links to the project aren't working for me
http://smf.oldiesmann.us/galleryproject/index.php or
http://smf.oldiesmann.us/
I'd really like to try this.
Everything should be up and running again Robbie. My host just moved over to a new server and ran into a few problems in the process.
your website isn't loading for me either Oldiesmann :(
musta been a temporary issue, loaded now.
I believe this integration is almost close to Release Candidate or final maybe... Hope to release the bugfixes soon. :)
I got this worked in my site.
The next version will be Beta 3 because I'm adding a bunch of new features. The version after that will probably be RC1, but that depends on whether or not the need for more features arises. I'm planning to start work on Beta 3 in a couple of weeks - the end of the term is November 7th, so I should have more time then to work on things for a few weeks.
whoa! :)
this is a very good news Oldiesmann ;)
will be waiting Beta 3 now. thanks a lot.
Sorry if this has been covered already...
I'd really like to use this merged combo... but in the meantime I need to get this site going. Can I upload them both individually and then later merge them?
Yep. When users access the embedded gallery for the first time, they'll have a choice between creating a new account in the gallery or linking their forum account with an existing account in the gallery, so you'll be able to merge them later on without any problems.

Awesome! Thanks for the quick reply. I'm thinking of trying out your beta for this site. When the mod is released will I be able to upgrade from the beta version without re-installing/losing data?
Thanks again and sorry if this has already been covered!
Yes. You'll be able to upgrade without any problems.
I'd love to test. I've got Gallery 2.1.2 and SMF 1.1 RC3 at http://www.mecaforums.com/smf
Thanks for your hard work on this!

http://gallery.menalto.com
The thing I made is a mod to bridge the two together...
I tried to register to your site, but with no joy, I even tried 2 seperate e-mail addresses and checked both the main boxes and the spam boxes with no luck, I even waited 30 minutes to see if it was due to a delay and still no joy.
what to do when one doesn't get any response on the above mentioned site?
i would also like to betatest!
growwl - I haven't had the email activation feature enabled for a few weeks now (I disabled it after a spammer got my host blacklisted on SpamHaus), so you should be able to login immediately without activating your account. If you joined when I still had activation enabled, I will go activate your account in a few minutes.
Is this still beta or do you have a finished version out? I would like to integrate this into a site of mine but don't want to if it isn't ready.
It's still in beta, but is quite stable. Beta3 (a public beta) was released on Saturday, and shortly thereafter, several minor bugs were discovered, but I've been fixing them as they've been reported, so you shouldn't run into any more problems.
I did the embedded bridge, but when I click on "gallery" it asks me to login to gallery2....shouldnt it recognize I was logged into my smf and just continue on seamlessly?

Yes it should... I'll take a look at your setup later and see what's causing that.
Error
Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required '/embed.php' (include_path='.;C:\Program Files\xampp\php\pear\') in C:\Program Files\xampp\htdocs\forum\Sources\Gallery.php on line 120
Admin -> Features and Options -> Gallery
Enter the path to your gallery directory in the "Gallery Path" box and save the settings.
Is this still in Beta or is it completed ? I can't access the web site right now, SMF gives a database error.
It's in beta. I'll look into the database issue. I just switched to a new host using a cPanel backup, but I would still expect everything to be there.
Ok. It's fixed now. Somehow the tables didn't get created on the new host (the database was there, but the tables weren't). I imported a backup from the old host and just took it out of maintenance mode.
Two questions
1. Does the Bridge work with G2's multisite option?
2. Is there a multisite option for smf?
Thanks

wow thats pretty impressive

Not at all. Just make sure you download the "Non-Bridged" version.
I installed SMF on my server where I already had Gallery 2 installed.
I installed the smf_g2-Beta3[1][1].1.tar.gz file within SMF and everything appeared to intall correctly. It is listed in the Packages>installedPackages
BUT
There is NO gallery tab/button/menu either across the top or in Features and Options. Nothing. No configurations nor any links or indiucations that it is installed other than the Packages page.
Help...
Are you using UTF-8? If so, you'll have to install the english-utf8 package (available in the Languages section of the download area on the project site).
If you're not sure, there are two ways to tell:
1. Admin -> Forum Maintenance
If you're using UTF-8, you'll see an option saying "Convert HTML-entities to UTF-8 characters". Otherwise you'll see something like "Convert database and all data to UTF-8".
2. Right-click on the page and choose "View Source" (or "View Page Source" if you're using Firefox).
If you're using UTF-8, you'll see this line near the top of the source code:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
Otherwise you'll see this:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" />
Michael,
First - I am using utf-8. Both checks check out.
as for installing the patch...I am not having a good go at this. The language packs are not isntalling properly. I tried all 3 versions (zip, gz and tar), and none of them are a valid archive... (or so SMF says when it tries to install them. )
I get the following message:
The package you tried to upload either is not a valid package or has become corrupted.
I find it odd that 3 different archives do the same thing. But I uninstalled the bridge (The only mod I added) This is a fresh install as I am still looking for something that will communicate with Gallery2.
May I ask again - any thoughts?
Vince
I was referring to the "Languages" section at http://galleryproject.oldiesmann.us/index.php?action=tpmod;dl - not the one here. The packages here are language packs for SMF and are just archives containing all the relevant files, not actual packages.
What about PHP Safe mode...
Anybody who knows if Gallery2 can run with safe mode disabled?
I have installed SMF without any problem, and also Joomla is now running without any problems...
But i can't get Gallery 2.2.1 to run without safe mode disabled.
I once found a patched version of Gallery 2, but this was only version 2.1.2
(Found at: http://www.netsons.org/viewtopic.php?t=1536)
What is your expirience with this problem?
I'm not sure if there is a patched 2.2 version.
The problem with Safe Mode is that it prevents scripts from touching files and folders they don't own. Apache runs under its own user account. When PHP is running as an Apache module, any files or folders created by PHP are owned by the Apache user. Any files and folders you upload via FTP will be owned by you. This means that Gallery won't be able to touch any files it creates (even though the script is owned by you, the files were created by PHP).
There are a couple of things you can try:
1. Ask your host to use open_basedir (http://www.php.net/features.safe-mode#ini.open-basedir) instead. This lets your host specify a "base" directory (the top-most directory that you can access), and PHP won't let you touch anything that's outside your base directory (although exceptions can be added - /tmp, /usr/lib/php, etc.). This accomplishes the same thing that safe mode is supposed to accomplish (prevent users from accessing stuff that isn't theirs) without the issues caused by restricting file ownership.
2. If they still won't listen, ask them to re-compile PHP in CGI mode with Apache's "SuExec" module installed. This will cause PHP to run as a separate process, and any files or folders created by PHP will be owned by the user executing the process. This causes a few annoying issues (PHP scripts must be chmodded to 755 if you want to execute them; 666 and 777 generally aren't allowed), but may be your only hope if you don't want to switch hosts.
If they still refuse, I would suggest switching to a better host. Safe Mode causes more problems than it solves, and has actually been removed for PHP 6. While SMF will run with Safe Mode enabled, the package manager doesn't work properly, and you may run into problems if you try to install themes through the admin center.

Okay i will try one of the solutions you have posted, but i doubt the would change anything, beacuse its a free web hotel... But when do i notice the problem with php can't create new folders? ANd touch existent folders? If i want to change a theme ex. then i can just upload it through FTP.
Is it possible to move photos and comments from an SMF Gallery to Gallery2?
Does anybody have a converter?

As long as the folders and files are still owned by you, then yes, you can re-upload them. But you won't be able to do so if the files and/or folders are owned by Apache.

Ok. Thanx. I read this message. As far as I understood, comments moving is impossible? Or after import items it is possible manually moving comments through SQL queries from old gallery to Gallery2?
I'm not sure exactly how G2 stores comments to be honest with you, but it might be possible to import them. I'll look into that in a little while.

Yep.
Just download and install the "NoBridge" package. That one doesn't use SMF's integration hooks, so it won't interfere with the Joomla bridge.
Im having issues with the SSI's Functions :(
Can please someone explain this a little bit more?
I have tried everyway possible (To me, i suck at php), but i still cant understand the comments on SSI.php
Ive been playing around, but nothing is been displayed
<?php ssi_g2RandomImage('type' = array(image), $outputMethod = 'echo') ?>
<?php ssi_g2ImageBlock($blocks = array(randomImage), $block_params = array('show' = 'none'), $output_method = 'echo'); ?>
Can someone give an example of how do this ssi functions should work?
I would like to convert my SMF Lite gallery to use this new integration.
Does anyone know of a conversion utility or script out there for SMF Lite Gallery --> Gallery 2?

There is no converter. However, it is possible to import items from SMF Gallery to Gallery2. See http://galleryproject.oldiesmann.us/index.php?topic=353.msg3532#msg3532 for more information.

Hmmmm... looks like I have my work cut out for me then.
Well... I started working the new gallery... got it installed, and now I get the following error:
Error (ERROR_MISSING_OBJECT) : 1 GalleryUser in modules/core/classes/helpers/GalleryEntityHelper_simple.class at line 124 (gallerycoreapi::error)

I've had it working before on a test forum, so I have no idea what is going on here.
I noticed someone earlier in this thread having a similar issue, but I don't think it was ever fully addressed.
Edit: I managed to get the admin account working, but all other groups give a different error now. I decided to post over at the project forum in hope of getting some help there. I don't want to clog up this thread for support.
Please test the 1-DAY OLD installation on my site at
www.fotobuffs.com
BUT NO GARBAGE PLEASE (like test, test, etc.), since this is actually a 1-DAY OLD live site. Kindly post real stuff and actual images that you would normally post in any other photography site. Besides, you may very well want to use my site permanently in the future.
Please let me know if you encounter any problems. And remember, I am VERY new to PHP, VERY new to SMF, and VERY new to Gallery, so I cannot answer any questions on how to do this or do that, etc. But please do let me know if you encounter any problems such as error messages, etc.
Thanks.
I am sure this is such a basic question that you will all laugh however, I still need the answer. After instally Gallery2.2 it works outside of my forum but not inside: I keep getting this error.
Fatal error: showgallery() [function.require]: Failed opening required '/public_html/unigrip/forum/gallery/embed.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/wrong4/public_html/unigrip/forum/Sources/Gallery.php on line 122
I saw where someone answered this question before by simply saying: "CHANGE YOUR PATH"
that doesn't help me I need to know how to create that path. Please don't say look into the config.php file either. That hasn't helped me as it still won't work when I use what I think is an exact path: Quite frankly I don't know what an exact path is: Could someone please give me an example of what to put in the SMF as an exact path:
Thank you... I am using this now: /home/wrong4/public_html/unigrip/forum/gallery/g2data/
hmmm....
just tried installing the "no bridge" version of this.

edit note: I scanned your board and found that this was apparently a common error, and some fixes... however, all the other users work corretcly. only the admin user gives this error, despite me manually changing the smf_members table to tell it that I am a g2 user and the 6 guid
exactly what must i put in
Path to gallery :
URL to Gallery :
my forum in : http://www.myurl.net/v10/index.php
and my gallery2 in : http://www.myurl.net/gallery2/main.php
how abour embed or bridging?
tq.
Path to gallery - the full path to your gallery directory
URL to gallery - http://www.myurl.net/gallery2
Embedded/Bridged - "Embedded" mode will display the gallery inside SMF. "Bridged" mode will redirect users to G2 instead of displaying it inside SMF.
I just installed the bridge on a test server, but I am unable to link the accounts between Gallery2 and SMF. I even wiped both and started from a fresh install to no avail.
The problem occurs when I lick on the gallery link and then type in the gallery password, which is also my SMF password. It then send me to a completely blank page. The server error log reads:
[Sat Aug 18 11:50:22 2007] [error] [client 192.168.1.100] PHP Fatal error: verifyGalAccount() [<a href='function.verifyGalAccount'>function.verifyGalAccount</a>]: The script tried to execute a method or access a property of an incomplete object. Please ensure that the class definition "GalleryUser" of the object you are trying to operate on was loaded _before_ unserialize() gets called or provide a __autoload() function to load the class definition in C:\\Apache2\\htdocs\\forums\\Sources\\Gallery.php on line 571, referer: http://tohru/forums/index.php?action=creategalaccount
Gallery 2.2.2
SMF 1.1.3
Bridge Beta 3.1
That means that the G2 user object got corrupted somehow. Fortunately it's easy to fix :)
Sources/Gallery.php
Find
// We already loaded the user a while back...
$g2user = $_SESSION['g2user'];
Replace
// Reload the user object...
list($ret, $g2user) = GalleryCoreApi::fetchUserByUsername($context['user']['username']);
if($ret)
{
fatal_error($ret->getAsText());
}
Hi,
Thanks for this great mod oldiesmann!!!
A question:
What i have to modify to change the background and others things of the gallery? is necessary to add a .css?
Thanks,
F.
EDIT:
The file to modify is a CSS, you'll find it at:
gallery2/themes/nameOfYourTemplate/theme.css
its not exactly the same, but now you know where to look
http://galleryproject.oldiesmann.us/index.php?topic=41.msg545;topicseen#msg545
Hi
The instalation was and suksess, but the Gallery tab in the forum menu and the Go to Admin -> Features and Options -> Gallery to configure everything don´t show up, whats wrong?
Helge

if so, are you using english or english-utf-8?
I have try with english or english-utf-8 and norwegian and norwegian_uft8 and i got the same problem whit all.
Sorry for my bad english :-)
as far as I know, the tabs will only appear with english (not english-utf8)
well, I use utf8 and I can see them in all languages
(I use only the admin tab)
Dos it matter where the Gallery are, i have it instaled in a folder, galleri
root/galleri, ant the smf forum in the root

Hi,
I get exactly the same error if a user clicks on ...action=gallery,
I have mine only bridged, not embedded, so I solved it sofar with a direct link to the gallery path.
I think the solution is already here (http://galleryproject.oldiesmann.us/index.php?topic=383.0)
Nettxtra - it doesn't matter where you install the gallery, or even if it's on the same database. If you don't see the Gallery tab in the admin center, make sure the language strings got added to Modifications.english.php.
In response to the last post, please search the board on the project site. This has been covered numerous times.
I know this is a Help Not support topic but it fits with this post and I understand if its deleted, my apologies......butttt
Is there a way I can hire someone to do this for me??? Im so tired of screwing things up im losing my mind! Thanks again in advance. :(
What problems are you having Nena?
Just a quick question before i start messing about with anything :)
Does this mod work with SMF 2.0? And if not, are there any plans to port it in the forseeable future?
Currently it is only compatible with SMF 1.1.x, but I am planning to make the next version compatible with 2.0. I don't know how soon that will be though as I don't have a lot of free time right now.
hi, everybody do you know how i can do upgrade smf 1.1.4 to 2.0 beta

hi i get this error when integrate the gallery the path is ok but when cic in the gallery apper this error when access directly at the url work ok
That means that SMF thinks your account is linked to a Gallery account, but it isn't. Search the forum on the project site for more info on how to fix this issue

thanks i fix modify via phpmyadmin the row of gallery mod
I just uninstalled SMF Gallery Lite to upload/install Gallery 2, but it isn't happening. I started with latest version and worked back, but it still isn't happening. Is it possible that you might show me where to start from scratch w/o any gallery of any type installed, please?
When it does download the zipped file doesn't show anything in it at all. I'm using 7Zip... freeware.
I'm using Helios Multi by Bloc as my theme.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
What browser are you using?
The files are tar.gz, not zip, but 7-Zip does support that format.
wow im almost done. im having problems though. i think i have the "path to gallery" and "url to gallery" right but then when i click gallery, in the menu, its telling me user allready exists type password, which i do then i go to a blank page??? ive had a rough week of installing this new forum, converting old board installing new g2 and modding them together, im frustrated. what the heck am i missing?
i made a dummy account also, and when i log in i dont see the gallery tab in the menu?
probably doesnt matter but its at...http://themasterangler.com/smfforum/index.php
The blank page is a known issue - in some situations, a session variable that's set to remember your G2 user data isn't being remembered (not sure why), which makes SMF think you're trying to create a new account, but the name of the password field is different in that situation than it is when you're trying to link to an existing account, which causes other issues (and the blank page). Search the project board for a solution.
For the gallery tab - make sure that you've given all users permission to view the gallery.
Does this work with SMF 2.0? How about languages, can i use english with gallery if i use finnish in SMF?
I haven't upgraded yet but am very interested in a 2.0 compatible gallery mod. I know that's one of the big things on my upgrade checklist. :)

No, the current version doesn't work with SMF 2.0. The upcoming RC1 release will work with 2.0 though. You can't easily use English with the gallery when you're using Finnish in SMF because the integration is set up so the language used in the gallery is the same as the language you're using in the forum.
I am hoping to have RC1 out in a few weeks. I'm pretty much done writing the new version - I just have some additional testing and tweaking to do (then I need to write the version that doesn't use SMF's integration hooks, which won't be too difficult).
Cool, thanks for the update. 8)
I have noticed that some things I change in SMF are not updated in the gallery. For instance, I renamed a group of members from "ABC" to "XYZ" in the SMF, yet the membergroups in the gallery2 shows still "ABC"
Are there still problems when synchronizing the data?
It should be changed in Gallery as well.
Do you have the "Link membergroups" option enabled in SMF?
If so, are there any errors in your forum error log related to the Gallery?
I am not aware of any problems with data synchronization.
Yes, I have the "Link membergroups" enabled.
I've just created a new user and saw if her member status changed also in gallery2, and It did! :)
Will post anything else if some problems surface...Thanks!

Yes i look that but i thkink of maybe this project have a recent version
Thanks
RC1 should be out soon. Unfortunately I have not had as much time to work on it as I had hoped, but there isn't a lot left to do - just finish writing the upgrades and test things.
when the full version is release
I've been really busy lately, but should have a lot more free time this week. I was off yesterday, I'm off today and I'm also off tomorrow. I'm going to try to work on it some more later today.
RC1 is finally available :)
Thank You for all this work you do!
Hello guys
I have a small problem and I want your opinion.
You see, I run this site www.curefans.com, which is hosted in a company with an excellen support but they offer me only 750Mb space. In the other hand I have a personal domain, let's call it www.mydomain.com, hosted in another provider which offers me a LOT of space, but a poor support.
I want to keep running my forum in the first company, but since the members have started to upload hundreds of photos to the gallery, I am actually running of space.
It's possible to install the gallery in ANOTHER domain/host, then call it/embed it throught smf like till now?
If it's so, do I need to do a special configuration?
Thanks in advance.

No, that's not possible. SMF and Gallery2 both need to be on the same server.
OK, thank you :)
Is this available for SMF 2.0 RC1.2 ?
The package for 2.0 RC1 will work on 2.0 RC1.2. However, you will need to use the emulate version feature to make it install. To do this, click the advanced link on the browse packages screen and enter 2.0 RC1 in the emulate version box. In addition, there are a few bugs in the package for 2.0 - one causing the lightbox bbcode to not work, one causing an extra "gallery image" button to show up on the main post form, and one causing a parse error in Display.template.php. I will post instructions for fixing these bugs on the project site when I get home from work in about 5 hours.
I just became aware of the bugs a few days ago and haven't had any complaints about it not installing on RC1.2 without the emulate version trick, so that's why I haven't fixed the issues yet.
I am also going to be working on an updated version soon, but will provide the ability to upgrade from the current version.
Great, thanks !
Decided to just upload a new package for 2.0 since the one bug prevented you from being able to view posts at all. Should install fine on 2.0 RC1.2 now as well. That version was already in the list, but I think the 2.0 RC1-1 version was messing it up.
Thanks - I went to the Gallery2 site and looked around. It appears that Gallery2 is what I want to use. One question - It appears that the image must already be in the gallery before I add it to a post. Is there a way to upload the image to my gallery while creating a post ?
No, you have to upload it through the embedded gallery. Adding an interface to upload it directly to the gallery from your post would be fairly complicated.
Thanks for your responses so far. I am going to switch to Gallery2 as soon as the mods that I am using on my site are compatible with SMF 2.0 RC2, which is hopefully sometime this year !

You're welcome. I hope to have SMF+G2 updated to work with 2.0 RC2 in the coming days :)
Any news on compatibility with RC2?
Hoping to have a version for SMF 2.0 RC2 either later tonight or sometime tomorrow. This will also be a new version with some bugfixes and improvements, so it's taking a bit longer to get it ready than it would if I just made an RC2-compatible version.
Thanks for the update and appreciate all the work you're doing to bridge the two together.. I posted a question on your project forum that hopefully you can answer..
Is there already a version for SMF 2.0 RC2?
The one for RC1 doesn't install...
I don't think so yet appears he is still working on it.
Version 1.0 is now out, compatible with SMF 2.0 final and newer :)
Hi guys, is this project still alive? I noticed your webpage has been down for a while.

You realise Oldies last post on this topic was two years ago?
Yes I realise. But I communicated with him recently on his forum and he was still supporting it. The site seemed to die without any notification so I'm wondering if I should still continue developing my site around his mod.
