Plugin WordPress / Gallery 3

Hi

Very nice project but I have a probleme with Gallery3 configuration. I don’t understand what is the « Base URL of the restful acces of Gallery 3 »

Can you explain me exactely on what I have to link ?

(Restful is enabled on my Gallery 3 and the plugin is well installed on WP.)

Thank’s

Thanks for your help.

I dont understand what is ITEM.

My folder REST is under MODULES’Folder and there is some others folders inside but nothing called ITEM.

Sorry, This one:

Warning: fopen(http://127.0.0.1/gallery3/index.php/modules/rest/item/1) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! HTTP/1.1 404 File Not Found

in C:\wamp\www\wordpress\wp-content\plugins\heiv-gallery-3\heiv-gallery_3.php on line 354
Error :http://127.0.0.1/gallery3/index.php/modules/rest/item is not accessible.

Figured it out – had to set allow_guest_access must equal to « 1″
Maybe you could mention it in the plugin settings section in wordpress (not only on this page)
thanks!

Hi,

Thanks for putting this together. I have it working now.

A few comments to further the project:

– Base URL of the restful acces of Gallery 3: If this field is left blank while allow_guest_access=0, then the settings test passes (incorrectly)
– The help text for that item reads « by default it is « /index/rest/item » », when I think you mean « by default it is « /index.php/rest/item »  »
– Definitely want to include within the instruction the need to change the allow_guest_access within G3
– The field titles and examples are a bit confusing with the written English. I’m glad to help you wordsmith this, if you’d like to e-mail me. For instance, the first field might read « Fully qualified domain name, beginning with http:// » and have an example like « http://gallery.example.com ».

Cheers,
Avery

Hi Avery,

I am planning to deploy your plugin on multiple sites. Any hints on when your v0.2 will be available?

On the other hand, your plugin allows a gallery be installed in a remote server, doesn’t it? So my wordpress sites and gallery sites can be serving from different servers on different IPs.

Hi,

i am getting the following error

error: Are you sure that the user « username » can make restful query on

what type of user name and password i have to provide. i provided my gallery admin user name and password. but its not accepting. i enabled rest plugin in gallery.

but still having the error.

please suggest.

Hi HeiV,
I’ve just installed Gallery3 RC2 and 0.2.1 of your module in WP3.0.1.
Unfortunately I cant get your plugin configured well…I have the following problems:

– with allow_guest_access = 1 or
– with allow_guest_access = 0 and username and password provided
I get in « test settings »:

Warning: fopen(http://www.fleschuetz.de/gallery3/index.php) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! HTTP/1.1 404 File Not Found

in /var/www/fleschuetz.de/html-data/blog/wp-content/plugins/heiv-gallery-3/heiv-gallery_3.php on line 611
Error : http://www.fleschuetz.de/gallery3/index.php is not accessible

Yes, I have fopen active and php5-common (for json) installed and active.

The strange thing:
in a blog article I can browse through my G3, but not select anything (the button send data has no reaction)

Thanks,

Matthias

Hi,

When I want to activate the plugin I received following error. Requirements are checked and ok (I think). WordPress version is 3.0.1 and Gallery3 version is RC2. Thanks!

Warning: require_once(HTTP/Request.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/b5623bad/public_html/belgian-international/wp-content/plugins/heiv-gallery-3/heiv-gallery_3.php on line 39

Hi HeiV,
about the picture-picker:
it seems that this is a usability-bug for me…;) The plugin has different behaviour if I click on a folder name or on <-. You're right, it gets pink when I click on a picture or on a folders <-.

Then I am waiting for some update for 3.0.1 compat.

Greetz,
Matthias

I added a item into a post but nothing shows up on the post when it is publish. WHen I click on edit I see the following [hgallery3 id= »21660″ show_caroussel= »true » direct_link= »true » timed= »true »].

Running latest update from today and WP3.0.1 Multisite

The link to the post is http://canafistol.net/blog/2010/08/18/prueba-de-entrada-con-la-nueva-galeria and I did not use the plugin prior to this update as it gave me an error when activating it. I belive I wrote to you about that on the gallery3 forum.

Thanks,

Seems I am having the same problem as above. It is configured ok and I can insert the code into a post with no problems but there is nothing in the post.
In Apache log there is no error.
The only thing shown is:

[18/Aug/2010:18:39:18 -0400] « GET /g3/index.php/index.php/rest/item/21 HTTP/1.1 » 404 3522 « – » « PEAR HTTP_Request class ( http://pear.php.net/ ) »

In the source of the page in the place where the gallery should be I see:
div id= »gallery_2f0f21″ — but the div is just empty. Closing div tag follows right after.

Hello HeiV,

1. I have come back to this project and have installed v0.2.2. The test works, and the integration attempts to work when I setup guest access; however, I only receive question marks in lieu of actual thumbnails and images. Is this a current known bug, or a configuration issue on my end? If the later, what suggestions do you have?

2. When I attempt to configure non-guest access, configuring ‘User for querying Gallery 3 Restful’ and the associated password, I am unclear what ‘user’ is being requested. I assume it is a Gallery3 user with sufficient permissions to view the album? Please confirm.

3. Assuming the answer to 2 is yes, this does not appear to work for my installation. I get the error:
« Error: Are you sure that the user with the username ‘myuser’ can make restful query on http://gallery.mywebsite.com? Check the username and password please and retry this test. »
Can you please provide recommendation?

4. WPG2 allowed SSO (single sign-on) for a user from WordPress to Gallery. This means a user clicking on an image in WordPress would be seamlessly logged into Gallery as their own user/security, versus as a single specified user or a guest. This is a feature that will be critical to many users who would be integrating WP3 and G3. Can you confirm if this is included in your future plans for your plugin?

Thanks!
Avery

Hello HeiV,

I am having issues similar to Avery. I am able to get a positive « test » result with guest access enabled on the configuration page. However, when I attempt to activate my gallery in a post, I only receive a blank page with no pictures to select.

If I try to use a USER for REST access, the program returns an error no matter which user I pick.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

JD

Hello Heiv,

no I still cannot find it. I suppose you mean the icons right of « Upload/Insert »:

There are exactly those four symbols and no other (also no ). And when clicking on « Add an Image » there is also no gallery selection dialog to select.

I guess something is wrong here?!

Hello HeiV,

I just installed your Gallery3 module (0.2.2) for WordPress, and I have the same problem as the other guys: the image doesn’t appear even if everything seems to be OK.
The connection to Gallery3 works, the selection of the images work, the image reference is there in the editor (something like [hgallery3 id= »2″]) but then this reference seems to be ignored.
Are you still working on this? It seems to me that you did a lot of useful work, it’s a pity to abandon this …
cheers
Tom

Hi HeiV,

thank you for this fast response, I already installed the new version and it works perfect. I do have some trouble with the Smoothgallery because of using some other plugins like lightbox2, however this is not a real problem. I changed some parts of your code to just use lightbox2 for displaying the pictures onclick instead of using Smoothgallery. It’s more like a quick and dirty solution but it works for me. Thank you again.

Regards,
Jan

HeiV –

I have been trying to get this plugin working on my site. It seems to have installed ok because the test returns ok.

However when I press the little smiley face icon no albums or pictures pop up. I entered the rest url in my browser and it appears to return a valid response.

I am using the latest verson of your plugin, wordpress and gallery3. There is nothing in any of the logs that I can find.

Is there any more debug information that I can supply?

-Andy

I still have the problem that I do not see the smilie even after updating to 0.2.2.2. Test settings states « Configuration ok ». I assume that there should be a smilie after the « Add Media » button in the « Edit Post » page. But there is none. How can I debug this?

Is it a problem that the gallery runs on anouther subdomain? Could this be?

Martin thanks for your explanation I had to enable Visual Mode in « Users > Your Profile ». That did the trick.

To reply to my own post: An update of gallery3 rc2 to gallery3 fixed the problem.

Yes, I saw the scaling problem when I installed the plugin. I have modified the sources to be able to specify only the width or the height of the image, while the other dimension keeps the aspect ratio. If there is interest I could send my changes to Heiv.

BTW I would be interested in the changes to use lightbox2.

Heiv, that’s great. While you’re at it, don’t forget the image sizing issue.

I made it changing a little the file heiv-gallery_3.php introducing variants of the string $pattern_css_photo which specify only width or height, so the other dimension is kept proportional. But there are certainly other ways to do it.

Heiv, any news about the new version?

Hi Heiv,

Thank you for the awesome work so far! I have installed the plugin but I cannot get past the configuration. I use the above URL for my gallery path.

I use my administrator account for username and password for querying Gallery 3 Restful, but I keep getting this error :
« Are you sure that the user with the username « admin » can make restful query on http://www.cloud9golf.com/gallery3 ? »

Is there anything I have to set up in gallery3 to give admin access to make restful gueries? REST is activated in gallery 3.

Any help will be apreciated. Thanks!

Heiv

Thanks so much for a prompt response. I checked the « guest » checkbox and then it tested ok. I then used the URL you gave and my admin username and it also tested ok.

Is it normal that the password field goes blank again when you update the settings?

Also… when I try to insert the gallery into a post the page is completely empty and I cannot select any gallery. IT is just an empty pane where I can show and hide the options.

So something is still not right… Thanks for your help

Thanks again! I will test and see what I come up with. Are you saying I have to use guest access?

Thanks again for all your help. I think I got it working, just need to figure it all out now 🙂

Hi HeiV,

Thanks for the plugin. I’ve been trying to get it to work, but I’m running into a few issues;

When the HTTP_Request queries I get a response of ‘connection refused’

After a bit of fiddling around I’ve got output on the REST page…
http://www.netgorilla.co.uk/gallery3/rest/item/2?output=html

When I view the page in the editor I just get blank controls.

Any ideas? Thanks, Shovels

And I’m having the same problem as outlined by Tom:

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in …/heiv-gallery_3.php on line 560

Forgot to add the rest:

… and I can’t do anything but select the gallery name, nothing else.

Sorry actually something DOES show up after a while – it just takes 20-30 seconds for pictures to appear, then I can select one. But no settings for SmoothGallery or anything else – I can only just select a picture, then submit.

Once saved/submitted – I only see one picture in the post, and if I click on it, it expands.

Hi Heiv,
I have been busy these last days, but now I have downloaded the newest version and I’m having a look at it.

For now, in file heiv-gallery_3.php, line 236, you should probably replace

$ret .= HR . sprintf(__(‘Get ticket for user %s : %s‘,$user,$ticket));

with:
$ret .= HR . sprintf(__(‘Get ticket for user %s : %s‘),$user,$ticket);

But even after fixing this, it doesn’t seem to work. After installing and configuring the plugin, I don’t find the new icon in the message editor.

Tom

Hi i’ve problem with istallations:
Testing of the settings

http://www.gallery.gianlucaorrico.com/ is OK.
Error : Are you sure that the user with the username « sgiallu » can make restful query on http://www.gallery.gianlucaorrico.com/ ?
Check the username and the password please and retry this test.
Warning : Ticket recently get from Gallery3 is not the same as save before.
Saved ticket :
Debug ticket :

This is the end of tests.

But may password is right! What’s happen?
Tank you

Hello!

I’m wondering, is the 2.3.1 version compatible with WP 3.1.1? I’ve been struggling with installing it… I allowed guest access on my G3 install, and the config page in WP still acts flaky; seems to recognize my G3 install, but it keeps acting up. And when I try to insert a gallery, nothing shows up in the list.

WP integration is a deal breaker for me for G3… I hope I can make this plugin work, as I’d love to use WP and G3 together!!

Thanks!

1. When editing a post and I click the button to insert an image I would like the dropdown to default to single_image instead of smoothgallery

Here are a few suggestions,
1. I would like the ability to not show the number of views when displaying a dir of images in my post.
2. I would like the ability to not have the title be a link, or have the image and title share the same <a href. I think the code would look cleaner
3. When I open the image select box I would like it to go to the last opened album. For example, when writing an article I will usually enter about 10 images into the page. Since the image chooser only allows 1 image to be chosen, I have to open it 20 times. Each time I have to navigate back to the same album. It would save me a ton of time if it would go to the last opened album for me.

Thanks

Hi,
I’ve got the same problem like Ryanmc. Here an example page: http://www.outer-stars.at/blog/2011/04/korperschmuck/

I also tried some other themes, because I thought it was an javascript error with the template. But also with the standard theme from wordpress (TwentyTen) I got the same view.

Any idea in which order we should load the files or could work around this error? I really like this plugin and also want to say thanks for your work and time for this.

Greets,
Manuela

Correction #3 – From my edit page/post toolbar, when I click on G3 button, nothing appears in the dropdown and in the right box even after selecting album.
(list of albums does appear in left box … although only top level list, not sub-albums)

Is there a way to:
1. Remove the meta information (title, views etc) from photos
2. If I insert a single image, then to have it float right or left based on my need in that post, just like I do with the images I insert from wordpress edit post dialog.

Finally, my G3 is slow. And by using this plugin I am making my WP slow…there’s a huge difference in page loading for pages with an image from G3 inserted and pages without any G3 images….is there a way you can make the G3 image load at the end…i.e. after the rest of the page has loaded and rendered, instead of loading the G3 image before other things?

Thanks for the quick responses.

#1 I’ll try to do it and report back. However, in the future versions you might consider this as an admin panel feature…so that it’s easy for people to do…and also for people like me, who actually edit the code, an update doesn’t break the change 😉

#2 A CSS change would make a sweeping change across all posts/pages. I am thinking more like…if in some places I need it on left, on some in center and on others on right…

#3 Please do take a look at it…I think it’s very important….one photo is ok…more or less….but if you have 3-4 photos on a page like I do….things can really slow down….and God help you if you insert an album….please note, the time delay doesn’t come from the plugin…it comes from G3….but any way the plugin can help reduce the delay would be very highly appreciated.

Oops…seems you already said in skins directory…meaning in this case… dir.inc.php

I tried removing (commenting out) parts from
function get_render_photo( $info )
but unfortunately, it seems that sprintf requires those arguments….so I get an error!!

Very cool and informative.

Did you do something? It was working this morning the smoothgallery was displaying. I then tried again and it is back to displaying all the pictures and thumbnails without smoothgallery…

-Andy

i didn’t think so 🙂 but it sometimes works now – weird, a non-deterministic program…

you can see now http://www.galewsky.net/?p=17

I didnt do anything either!

Are you suposed to be able to overide the defaults when insterting the tag? If so how?

-Andy

Hi,

I just installed the gallery plugin on my WP 3.1.3 install, and I go the following near the top:

======== skin : dir =========
skin ok.
======== skin : single_img =========
skin ok.
======== skin : smoothgallery =========
skin ok.

It seems that there is something going wrong during the activation process. Is this something you’ve seen before? Or perhaps is there something I can check to debug?

Thanks,

Tomek

Hello HeiV,

thanks for this great plugin! The idea behind that is exactly the thing I’m searching for.

Sadly, it does only work for a single image. If I choose an album, it looks like this:
http://www.satori-nihon.de/2009/06/17/gallery3-plugin-test/

And how to set up this plugin that it looks like « album with only pictures » from your examples?

Thanks and looking forward for fixes 🙂

WordPress v3.1.3
Gallery3 v3.0.3 (branch 3.0.x, build 41)

Yes, I just had the default options and changed nothing.

Tried what you said, but still the same. After that, I changed every option randomly, but nothing changed.

Currently, again only “delay for Timed caroussel” is set to 5000, rest is default

Thanks for the great plugin. I’ve got it working!

The Plugin doesn’t works correctly in WP 3.2 … please fix it

I have got everything setup, tested and verified, but I do not see a WPG3 button anywhere on my post screen!

Hello,

Voici un plugin prometteur. Avec Gallery2, un plugin pour WordPress permettait de créer un carrousel avec quelques photos d’un unique album. Là, je n’arrive à créer un carrousel qu’avec un album complet, ce qui m’embête un peu. Y a-t-il une option que j’aurais loupée ?

Merci pour ton travail.

Ha, excellente nouvelle. C’est pour un blog (pas le mien) où je dois afficher ponctuellement quelques photos. Mais comme elles sont classées dans un album regroupant toutes les photos de l’année et mis à jour au fur et à mesure, un slideshow de toute l’année dans chaque billet, c’est étrange 😉

Merci à toi.

I am having problems enabling the WordPress Gallery Plugin. Everytime I activate it. It adds seemingly debug information to the header of the page.

======== skin : dir =========
skin ok.
======== skin : single_img =========
skin ok.
======== skin : smoothgallery =========
skin ok.

with

The plugin generated 155 characters of unexpected output during activation. If you notice “headers already sent” messages, problems with syndication feeds or other issues, try deactivating or removing this plugin.

In the msgbar.

I am using 2.3.2
with wordpress 3.2.1 and the Modularity light theme.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Andrej

HI, first of all thanks for your work 😀
Second:
In wordpress config of your plugin the window for « Stored RESTFul API ticket » is greyed out, sort of automatic insertion if log and password is correct, i guess.. But the log and passw of my gallery doesn’t work…, thanks for help

yes, and all works, for example with the plugin
« Gallery3 Picker » it’s ok. I really don’t understand (and of course it’s my fault) what user and password have to use in your plugin, guess my login and password for the gallery… but the message is:
« Error : http://madmacs.eu/gallery/index.php is not accessible. Stop testing here, check your configuration and fix it ! »

Hi, thanks for the really cool plugin. I’m having what seems to be similar trouble to madmacs’s issue. I’m also getting the ‘stop testing here’ message when testing my settings. I have the REST API module activated and have enabled guest access. I’ve also switched the REST module on and off and back on again.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time and efforts.

I am running the most recent version of Gallery3 (3.0.2).

I installed the plugin fine,
My gallery is working,
The plugin configuration went fine and the button is there when I create a new message….
When I click on the button, a grey layer comes up but nothing else…. tried in chrome and ie…

Any idea ?

Merci… moi qui pensais que j’étais fou !!! 🙂

Also, even if I don’t see the pictures while adding them to the post, once posted I can see then…

I fixed the admin-bar-sprite.png issue. That file was in the wp-includes/images location and not the location it was looking for it.

Hi,

I love the plug-in. When I first set it up it looked great and it still seems to work fine from time to time, however the problem I’m having is that quite often the smoothgallery isn’t working and instead the page is loading a long list of images and thumbnails. I think a couple of people have mentioned this before me but I couldn’t see if any solution/explanation was arrived at. Can anyone help?

Thanks,

Andrew

Ive currently installed the plugin on a test install of xampp with the most recent wp and gallery 3 versions. I keep getting an error Fatal error: Cannot redeclare _PEAR_call_destructors() (previously declared in C:\xampp\php\PEAR\PEAR.php:775) in C:\xampp\htdocs\wp-content\plugins\heiv-gallery-3\pear\PEAR.php on line 806. any thoughts on how to handle this

Tia

is there any way to change the reference or call the the plugin dir so that it would reference the C:\xampp\php\PEAR directory. when I move the xampp’s pear dir nothing works. im sure theres a way to fix this just not sure where to start. I’ll keep digging though. Thank you ever so much

Sorry I forgot to mention the REST API module in Gallery 3 is definitely activated.

Thanks

Hi HeiV,
I have been a wpg2 user for a long time (6 years), but recently I was forced to take my gallery off line as my web-host deemed my 6000+ Gallery 2 and WordPress installation too resource hungry.

So, I am now rebuilding the website using WordPress and Gallery 3. It is a big task, as I need to update all the WordPress posts to use your plugin: replace all tags with new ones.

While your plugin is not a direct replacement for wpg2, it is good enough as a picture picker and I am glad you took time and effort to make it work.

Now, I have some suggestions/questions: Would you consider changing your mnemonic [hgallery3 …] to a tag ? This way if the plugin is de-activated (let’s say for maintenance) the WordPress would not display [hgallery3 …] text.

Code specifics:
define(‘NL’, »); <– you often do not include a space before end of tag
define('HR','’);

The u element is deprecated. Do not underline non-links!
b (style) tag is better expressed as strong (semantic meaning)

$ret .= NL . ERROR . $host . ‘ is not accessible. Stop testing here, check your configuration and fix it !’;

The password isn’t store on the WP database !

img src= »%s » needs to be img src= »%s » alt= »alt is not optional »
Perhaps populate the alt attribute from $root[$member_url]->entity->name. Ensure space before end of tag />

I am looking forward to next versions of this plugin. In meantime I have 6 years of posts to manually change.
Sadly I do not know PHP so I could help you evolve this plugin, but I can contribute with some hints like these above.

Thanks. Ted

Why an I getting this message » http://redirect-j.sytes.net:81/gallery3/index.php is not accessible. Stop testing here, check your configuration and fix it ! »? I have tried both using my login credentials and using guest access with « allow_guest_access » set to 1 in gallery3. I host my own websites from home using free sub-domains. Is this in issue because it is not a registered FQDN?

Thank you.

Hi Heiv, thank you for the great work with this plugin!!!!

I am rebuilding my site after many years of using the old Gallery2 and WPG2, and using Gallery3, the latest wordpress, and your plugin.

I have succeeded integrating the plugin and it works fine. There is only one extra feature that I think is missing – it has to do with the render and might be easey.

single_img render : I use this one a lot to add pictures from the gallery in my posts. The feature that is missing is a flag in the configuration to activate a « Direct link to picture/gallery », same as the « smoothgallery » render already has. This seems to be simple and good be awesome to have, for feature-parity with the old WPG2 that could do this.

If you give me a pointer to the relevant code section I might be able to just patch this up myself 🙂

Thanks a lot!

Thanks for this!
That was awesome, I just noticed the update notice for the plugin, updated it, and it just worked fine!!

It makes sense that using this feature prevents the use of Thickbox.

Thickbox is really cool, but the fact that it inserts a thumbnail (of arbitrary size) was a deal-breaker for my site design.
Is there a way to use thickbox on a regularly sized image (I use 650px wide as a limit), instead of forcing a thumbnail?

(additionally, I believe that the thickbox output is already linked to the gallery page (i.e. if you click on the enlarged photo) which is cool).

Thanks again!

Hi Heiv,

after updating to WP 3.9 and to the latest versions of your plugin and TinyMCE (whether it can have effect, I don’t know), I am seeing the following:

1) I no longer can create queries. I can open the picture selection window, I can select individual photos (the pink background is displayed) but I cannot add the pictures to the list (double click does not work and the « + »-button is never displayed. Manually generating/editing the query in the page source leads to correct display of the picture on the page.

2) dir_table seems to work properly only when the default display mode is set to « dir » in the plugin settings. Then, a table with 2 columns is generated. If I set the default « skin » to something else, then only a single column gets generated.

Would you have any idea why this is happenning?

Thx,
L.

hi heiv,

thanks for the quick fix – the « + » button is back.

the other problems remain, though. after some playing, i could refine it a bit. in all cases, i have the same tag (display 3 photos using the dir_table renderer) in a normal post.

when default renderer for *single image* is set to « single_img » then the display of the dir_table is not correct.

when i set the default renderer for *single image* to « dir », then everything is working as it should.

i’ve made 2 screenshots – see my post on href= »http://lubos.vrbka.net/archives/2888

i addition, there are 2 things:

1) is the behaviour of the smoothgallery renderer correct? it’s located below the two screenshots. am i missing any additional plugin?

2) is it possible to change the jcarousel so, that it respects the aspect ratio of the photos (either by displaying the pictures correctly or cropping them)? the quadratic distortion is not nice. this is the last thing on the page.

hi heiv,

interesting.

setting the delay for timed carousel indeed works (the height has to be specified as well otherwise nothing gets displayed). when i set timed carousel to « no », then even the arrows work; with timed carousel to « yes », they have no effect when short delays have been specified (i suggest changing the delay to seconds instead of miliseconds). with 5s delay, the arrows work as a charm.

the setting with the dir_table/dir settings were more or less a random finding. i’ve changed some settings and at that time, many things magically started to work…

thanks for your quick replies!

best,
lubos

FWIW I was having the same « Are you sure that the user with the username “—-” can make restful query on http://www.mySite.com/gallery3 ?  » error

When I appended the fully qualified domain name with « /index.php » to make http://www.mySite.com/gallery3/index.php everything worked.
