[plugin] [ORPHAN] wow_gallery - A complete gallery manager for Textpattern

jameslomax · 2007-01-01 16:26:56

Hey this is looking good on a test install!

Not entirely sure how to get it to work though. I entered the <txp:wow_gallery /> tag in my default template and got this error:

<code>tag_error <txp:wow_gallery/> -> Warning: Missing argument 8 for buildsingleimagestring() on line 1032
tag_error <txp:wow_gallery/> -> Textpattern Warning: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ‘’ at line 1
select * from txp_wowgallery where id = on line 84</code>

Also: the uploaded images aren’t appearing in the Admin window….

@jameslomax
Please make sure you have placed the two helper files in the main site directory – then it should work.
As for the tag: That’s not the correct usage; please check the plugin help. You need to at least specify a gallery to display. ;)

@all
I have finished developing an ordering feature based on manipulating the DOM-tree. Very nifty… but now the darn plugin’s too large for TXP! Argh. Waiting for support on this whilst trying to strip down the code – no further release until then, even though all recent requests have been implemented. :/ If anybody knows how to get around the plugin size barrier at about 100K, please let me know!

Happy new year everyone! :)

Do I have to build a gallery template, include the < txp:wow_gallery /> within it, and then use all the tags in the help file according to what I want?

Ack…..

No, you don’t have to build anything – you can use what’s already in the package. All you need to do is:

Place the additional files in your main site dir (wow_tpl.php, wow_image.php, image_viewer.css)
Install and activate the plugin (or pluginS with v0.6)
Go to the gallery admin screen
Create a gallery by uploading from the gallery directory (needs to be created manually within your main site dir), or by uploading single imgs manually
Create a new article or access an existing one
Add the tag to the article with the proper attributes (which gallery, which thumbnails, how many rows/cols, etc.).

With the latest version, there also are some examples which probably can get you started. But aside of this, the plugin really should work out of the box. I strongly recommend upgrading to v0.6 BTW – lots of cool new features. :)

First: I love this gallery plugin. Very easy to use even for a beginner like me. Btw…make sure to update your website because you only have a download link for v0.4. Anyway here is my question: I wanted to use the images in one of my wow_galleries as links to static pages on my site. I am building a website for an art exhibit and would like to link the various pictures to their respective artists’ bios on the website. Is there any way to do that? Thank you for your hard work!

@krasnyja
Glad you like it. :) BTW, the download link on shadowplanet is up to date – please let me know if you’re still experiencing problems downloading 0.6.

About the links… no, at the moment, every gallery image just links to the “master” (full size) version of the image. However, you could try to add the link in the captions section. I haven’t tried to insert HTML code there yet, though – no idea if it works, but it’s worth a try. If that’s a feature other users also request, I think I’ll add it with one of the next versions.

Cheers!

This is really good stuff. Would you consider adding next/prev links for non popup images?

Thanks
Lee

If you want to achieve this effect, try to display a gallery with a 1×1 matrix, which will give you the pagination without the need to click the image. Or do you want something different? I’m certainly open to suggestions. :)

Thanks for your feedback!

lee · 2007-01-03 10:08:57

1×1 didn’t give me pagination, it just displayed 1 thumb which when clicked displayed the full image. I was imagining a page full of thumbs where if 1 is clicked it’s full image is displayed with pagination to move through the rest of the full images.

nighthawk · 2007-01-03 13:35:45

Ah! Okay, that should be achievable with the next version. I’ll add that to the wishlist. Thanks!

krasnyja · 2007-01-03 15:51:53

Thank you for your reply! Adding the link to captions did not work. Instead it created an error:

Warning: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ‘http://www.google.com”>Text to be displayed” where id = 21’ at line 1 update txp_wowgallery set caption = “Text to be displayed” where id = 21 in /home/businfa2/public_html/sandraparra/thesis/textpattern/lib/txplib_db.php on line 84

Same error occurs when I try to add a link to section through textpattern.

I will try to play around with it and figure out a way to make it work. Thank you.

nighthawk · 2007-01-03 16:51:29

Yep, that’s a MySQL data insertion error. Hmmm… while you’re trying to get around that problem, I’ll see what I can do with one of the next versions. Adding to wishlist…
