SMF Media Gallery (SMG) - 2.0.5 is out! (December 2)

[Vyache]

I found one issue, my mgal_data/albums folder was not copied right, it was missing albums as a folder and for some reason made it as a file, same thing with the others. I still have not fixed this problem.

[Vyache]

I'm having issues installing the thing. For some reason, it does not install all the parts, it missed out on some major files, such as the pictures for the menu, such as the home button and admin. This folder was called mgallery, which goes into themes folder was not installed properly. It made a blank file for some reason.

My mass upload isn't working for some reason, it works on my other forum, smf 10. but not in 2.0...

I'm stumped, any one know the problem? 

[Arantor]

Which 2.0 version?

Hi!
I've test to install latest release in a latest smf 2 rc2 test forum without errors in setup but i receive this error when i go in http://darkwolf.altervista.org/smf2/index.php?action=mgallery

Code Select Expand

Illegal mix of collations (utf8_general_ci,IMPLICIT) and (utf8_unicode_ci,IMPLICIT) for operation 'ifnull'
File: /membri/darkwolf/smf2/Sources/Subs-MGallery.php
Line: 2816

[Vyache]

Which 2.0 version?

My SMF 2.0 RC2 is having trouble installing all of the files currently because something happened in the load.php file and I fixed it, but doing the install manually, well half manual and rest let the app do it self. It was missing many files, I'm not sure why that happened.

Hello All,

I installed SMF Media Gallery v2.0.4 successfully yesterday but was unable to achieve the following after creating a folder or album:

1. I cannot upload. It was complaining of image is wider and size is bigger, which was not.
2. After the album is created, I cannot open it. It keeps redirecting me to homepage.
3. The album could not be edited.
4. I cannot upload to the album.
5. I experienced this at both admin and members' level.

Please help me out.

Thanks.

Thank you all. This problem is resolved!

I selected option *Rewrite SMF Gallery URLs* in Pretty URL area.

More so, I discovered that my menu tab were disrupted when pictures were upload but I have done some modification in index.template.php to resolved this but I don't if some of SMG would be affected. Please see below the changes.


BEFORE

if (allowedTo('mgallery_access'))
      echo ($current_action == 'mgallery' || $context['browser']['is_ie4']) ? '<td class="maintab_active_' . $first . '">&nbsp;</td>' : '', '

Hey all. Just finished upgrading to RC1.2 and everything is working fine except for this. When I click on any member's name, the link is supposed to take you to that member's profile. Instead, i get this error

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_DOUBLE_ARROW in /forum/Sources/Profile.php on line 358

I checked the profile.php file and line 358 is where this mod starts. I've attached my profile.php for reference. I had to modify the install instructions because another mod had changed the code the profile.php modification was finding to add after, but other than that the install went smooth.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Any help gratefully received!

I'm also having trouble see images that are included in the install, they just don't show up. In firefox  I don see them at all in I.E I see big white X's.

Okay, I was able to install the thing and get image to upload, but I still cannot see the images, like the icons on the gallery page, next to home, admin and etc. My mass upload feature wont work. I can't figure why not. My Server host told me to change my htaccess file contents to:

<IfModule mod_security.c>
  3    # Turn off mod_security filtering.  SMF is a big boy, it doesn't need its hands held.
  4    SecFilterEngine Off
  5
  6    # The below probably isn't needed, but better safe than sorry.
  7    SecFilterScanPOST Off
  8 </IfModule>

Can I get some help here please, I had zero support in this thread.
I appreciate any help from anyone, thank you.

I´m about to install SMG, but don´t have that much space left in my hosting account.
Would it be possible to place the image folder on another server?

Anyone?

I created a file crossdomain.xml, but that didn't solve me problem...
It contained,

<?xml version="1.0"?>
      

       <!DOCTYPE cross-domain-policy SYSTEM "http://www.macromedia.com/xml/dtds/cross-domain-policy.dtd">
      

       <cross-domain-policy>

Petter B...   not without serious re-writing.

Forum Guy... download the mod archive (link in the first post) then use the package manager in your forum admin to install.

simon... It looks like you are trying to convert a separate coppermine gallery to SMG?  If so, I think that you will have to make sure that the SMF database user has full permissions to the CPG database.

Vyache, you have bumped your post 6 times in the last 24 hours... many of us have lives offline.
Are you using the default theme? It looks like your server has issues with permissions. If not all of the files get editted or added, then you are going to have major issues. From what you said earlier, it looks like your installation did not succeed at all, even if the system recognized it as complete.   It looks like the mod commands to modify or add files were actually ignored. This means that you will have to do a fully manual installation.

Dark-Wolf - that's a database problem looks like you have part of your database set up with one collation and other tables set up with a different one.  Use phpmyadmin and reset the collations to that same on all tables.

First off, I installed successfully. Thank very much. So no manual install, as I noted in my post. Yes, I am using Default theme, but I modified it a bit. That has no affect on my install because I changed it to all fresh and that did not fix the problem.

I'm sorry that you feel that I bumped my post, but I have not, I was updating my situation as you can see I did not spam, OMG OMG, help 6 times.

What do you mean? "It looks like the mod commands to modify or add files were actually ignored."

Please provide any help, thank you.

Kindred....thank you for your answer. I hope placing the image folder on a different server can be a feature in a future release.

I've been struggling with this issue all day and finally fixed it, so I figured I'd share with others.

Converted from SMF Gallery Lite to SMF Media Gallery this morning - installation and conversion went smoothly with no issues!  Made the necessary changes to my custom theme's BoardIndex.template.php and Modifications.english files for proper integration into my theme.  Again, everything smooth.

Single picture uploads work with no problem.

Mass upload... allows me to select files, but when I clicked on "Upload" I got no response.  No error message, no timeout, nothing at all.

I searched these forums and saw some mention about all uploading issues being related to mod_security in .htaccess or crossdomain.xml - so I tried both, and still no joy.

Finally, saw a note from early on, copied the mgallery directory from the SMF Default template directory into the custom theme directory and everything is working now.

Just one thing that worked for me.  Good luck everybody.

Thanks to the authors for a great mod.

Thank You ShadyJC!

Problem solved. Main issue was the installer is bugged. It installed successfully on my forum, but did not place the files in the right place. Please fix the installer for future users (smf 2.0 RC2), thank you.

The fix required moving mgallery into the image folder, which is inside the default theme. Also, placing the other mgallery inside the default theme. That fixed the problem for me. I hope this solves problems with mass uploading for the feature.

I appreciate the help from the community, thank you.

Petter B... unlikely.   You get all sorts of hacks that try to communicate cross domain like that, so most browsers are going to step on any attempts to do that sort of thing.

My suggestion: Get a better host or hosting package.

Dark-Wolf - that's a database problem looks like you have part of your database set up with one collation and other tables set up with a different one.  Use phpmyadmin and reset the collations to that same on all tables.

My forum is in utf8_general_ci instead mgallery tables is with utf8_unicode_ci

PS: i've installed without other mod my smf2 in utf8 and i've installed without errors media gallery.
I think is best to report to media gallery support
