Can you recommend the best gallery plugin for me?

From what you say, I’d advise to look into blogcms which is nothing more than Nucleus + PunBB + Singapore + DocuWiki or else have a look at bitweaver which can do the same things but with integrated authentification :-)

jstubbs · 2005-10-06 10:54:57

Didn’t know about those CMS systems. Took a look and its not for me. Thanks anyway. Its easy enough to link to a gallery or forum outside of TXP. Only remaining issue would be how easy it is to change the templates to suit the site design.

davidm · 2005-10-06 11:08:20

Well it depends if you need a single auth for the backend, visual integration is relatively easy via CSS, just have to edit templates and you’re done :-)

jstubbs · 2005-10-06 11:27:52

Yes not so difficult. Any experience with Gallery or other equivalent image gallery? Gallery 1 was not the easiest to change, and PhotoPost made it difficult. Is there another good gallery out there? In this thread I have discovered quite a few I did not know about.

rss thumbpop just isn’t doing the trick. If anyone can recommend a gallery, or install a gallery for me drop me a line websitepartnershotmail.com

I’ll pay someone to sort this out for me.

davidm – did you install plogger inside your textpattern? I get errors like:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: the_gallery_head() in /textpattern/publish/taghandlers.php(1528) : eval()’d code on line 1

I have the require file in my default page like so:

<code><txp:php> require(“http://mysite.com/plogger/gallery.php”); </txp:php></code>

Hey Jstubbs, check the docs

Inside the quotes should be the relative path to this specific file

seems like you need something like <txp:php> require("plogger/gallery.php"); </txp:php> (assuming that plogger is in the same folder as your TxP index.php). HTH

peace – boblet

Hey boblet! No the plogger folder is in the root and TXP index is in the txp folder within the root:

TXP: /txp
Plogger: /plogger

Reason is txp will be moved to the root in a couple of days, so I can test couple things first.

I’m using ZenPhoto and there’s nothing wrong with it. I did create a theme to match my site (so it’s not directly integrated in to the TXP interface), but it works really nicely. I like the front-end AJAX features (ala flickr).

davidm · 2005-10-20 12:04:26

Then I guess ZenPhoto has been updated, because I am no newbie and I couldn’t make it work (on TextDrive, that is, locally I managed to do it which is strange…). I’ll check that out, and also check the progress on Photostack

Plogger does :-)

Just tested plogger… without talking about Txp 100% integration, plogger doesn’t seem to use css for its design… in fact there is no design at all???

andjules · 2005-11-27 14:27:34

OK, had a look at plogger. Unless I’m not thinking straight…
It uses index.php & (optionally) mod rewrite, so without some serious hacking, you’re not going to get it to really “integrate” into textpattern, where plogger content appears on a textpattern-controlled page. I could get a gallery link/thumbnail to show up (on a textpattern page), but clicking on it to get to the plogger content will link to (using plogger’s messy URLs) index.php?… where plogger thinks it’s logic is, but in reality, it’s where textpattern’s logic is. You might be able to get somewhere if it’s all on the front page, but within sections or subdirectories, everything gets confused. alternatively, if you use plogger’s clean URLs option, plogger’s & textpattern’s .htaccess rules start fighting with each other.

what it seems you can do is create some HTML based on your textpattern pages, have it call your textpattern CSS, and put that HTML + required plogger php lines in a real subdirectory as index.php, and make sure your main textpattern content has a nav to the plogger directory & vice versa. You then have a dedicated photo gallery ‘section’. Cons: plogger’s navigation and HTML need to be updated manually (if you change your textpattern sections or HTML, you’ll have to go and do it by hand in your plogger area).

I wonder if you could “include” textpattern in the plogger index.php? include your textpattern’s nav form, for example?
