Support/Comments for EvoGallery 1.0-beta1

@bodhiC: Err...you can associate pics with any page. When you first open the EvoGallery module, you’ll see a list of the top-level pages. Just click on the page names to drill down to the child pages you want to associate pics with. Also, in regards to your templates and EvoGallery snippet call, if the snippet call isn’t being made on the page that has the photos then you have to use the ’docId’ parameter to tell the snippet which page to grab photos for.

@fixedmachine: Good idea! Will add some language support to the module in the next beta.

Hi Jeff,

thanks for this great Snippet & Module! installation was easy and it’s working great

however i wonder how the image tagging feature is intended to be used? could you provide an example?

btw. the "edit" icon doesn’t show up when i hover over the thumbnail ( edit.png is in the cfolder, and the delete icon just displays fine ) WinXP FF 3.5 any ideas?

thanks, j

edit: to get the ManagerManager mm_galleryLink working in a subdirectory, i needed to add the foldername to gallerylink.inc.php line 52

Hi,

I must be retarded because I can’t the ManagerManager integration to work. I followed the directions. I have a folder container named projects, with sub-folders for each project.

1. I use a blank template (id #6 & named "Projects") for my project folder.
2. I created a Text TV named "galleryTest", and assigned it to the Project template.
3. I looked up the EvoGallery link by hovering over it, which shows: http://www.mercermarketing.com/manager/index.php?a=112&id=3
4. I added the following to mm_rules: mm_galleryLink (’galleryTest’, ’1’, ’6’, ’3’);

What am I supposed to do to access this link? I’ve gone to any page that’s been assigned the "Projects" template, and the "galleryTest" TV, but nothing shows up but a normal text box.

I’m kinda still figuring things out with MODx, so I must be doing something wrong...

Thanks for your help!

Hi jasonimani,
what happens if you add (just to check):
+ gallerylink.inc.php is in plugins/managermanager/functions ?

Hi Sharkbait,

Thanks for helping me out...really appreciate it.

1. I tried your modified MM call. Still nothing.
2. I verified the gallerylink.inc.php file was in the managermanager/functions directory.

Maybe I’m not clear about where this link is supposed to show up. As a tab on document? As just a link that redirects to the Evogallery page? I assume this is all within the modx backend...but maybe that’s the wrong assumption?

Thanks again for your help!

yes, this will create a shortcut-link on your "Edit Resource" screen in the backend, so you don’t have to go to the module and search the ressource. screenshot attached

Just to confirm that I’m doing thing correctly:

mm_galleryLink (’galleryTest’, ’’, ’’, ’3’);

1. galleryTest is the name of the TV whose "Input Type" is "text".
2. "3" is the ID of the EvoGallery Module. I found this out by clicking on "Modules" and then hovering my mouse over EvoGallery, which shows: http://www.mercermarketing.com/manager/index.php?a=112&id=3

I’ve attached a screen shot of my screen.

Firstly - bravado you did a great job with this and it’s working well for me. I’m using EvoGallery with phpThumb to generate cropped thumbnails of different sizes where needed around the site. It’s idiot-proof... great!!

Two things though:

1. ManagerManager link
I’ve set this up as indicated and the ’Manage Photos’ link appears on the relevant document pages within the manager. However clicking the link results in this error:

I’ve checked the link and it appears to be correct: http://localhost:8888/manager/index.php?a=112&id=12&action=view&content_id=12
Any idea why I am getting this error?

2. Multiple languages
I am using the gallery on a multiple language site using this method. However I am baffled as to how to not have to duplicate galleries for each language version. Eg. I would like to upload a gallery for only the english-language pages and have all other language pages use the english galleries.
I know this could be done by ’hard-coding’ document IDs, but my galleries are currently being listed via a Ditto call and I want to keep it dynamic!


Thanks!!

I’ve also not managed to the get MM gallery link to work yet. It just hides the TV field.

Hi Lucas,

Would you mind sharing what you’ve used to output the thumbnails using phpThumb.

Thanks
