Support/Comments for EvoGallery 1.0-beta1

This is an auto-generated topic for <a href="http://modxcms.com/extras/package/676">EvoGallery 1.0-beta1</a> by bravado.

Brief Description:
EvoGallery is a dynamic gallery extra for MODx Evolution. It allows you to quickly and easily create galleries of images by associating them with any page on your site. Galleries can be outputted in a variety of ways using a templated system.



EvoGallery was originally written by Brian Stanback some years ago and was simply known as the Gallery Module. Jeff Whitfield later took it and rewrote all the javascript using jQuery and used the Uploadify jQuery plugin in an effort to make the uploader compatible with newer versions of Flash. Many updates have been made since then to give it more functionality. The name was changed later to EvoGallery in order to differentiate this add-on from many of the other "gallery" add-ons including ones for MODx Revolution.

Thanks to Bravado for presenting this at the MODx conference...I was excited to see this during his presentation

Is there any recording of the conference?

Grand! Thank you!

Hi-

I’m trying to use this plug-in, but the file upload doesn’t seem to be working. I’m running latest version of Evo. It’s not throwing any errors, it’s just that I can select a bunch of images, but it won’t upload them. Clear Queue and everything else work find. Any thoughts?

Thanks,

A couple of things I would check on:

First, check to make sure you have a directory in the assets folder called ’galleries’ and that it has full writable permissions.

Second, make sure that the GD PHP extension is installed. View the phpinfo() from Reports->System Info to find out.

Lastly, if GD is installed, check the error log on your server. I had a client where their server was reporting a ’gd-jpeg: JPEG library reports unrecoverable error’ line in the logs. Not sure what the hosting provider did but if I had to guess they likely just reinstalled the GD extension.

Hope these suggestions help.

Hi-

Thanks for the response...

I checked everything and ’galleries’ directory is there with the proper permissions.
GD extension is installed and I’m not getting any errors on my server log.

It seems like there’s something flaky with ’jquery uploadify’.

Any other thoughts?

Hmm...I used uploadify for a client site, and it’s working perfectly. I used a MODx document with no template and just a snippet for the AJAX part, so I didn’t have to include the modx files nor start the session.

I’ve installed EvoGallery and it’s working fine. I do have one quibble, though. Why do all the galleries tend to use custom assets/galleries directories? If they were in assets/images/galleries then you could use tinymce to include images from the galleries in other documents.

Hi,

I’ve managed to install this to a stage where I can upload all the images, which works and looks really nice, thanks.

But I can’t seem to get the snippet to display the images.

Is the any docs with parameters etc. Could someone give me an example snippet call. Also can things like thumb nail size, and image description be set.

Thanks
