Nothing displays

Hi,

So, I followed the instructions, and nothing would appear on my ’My Gallery’ page.

I read through the entire forum and saw comments about stripping the html tags if you did a copy/paste. So I did that and the page is still blank.

So I tried redoing everything and typing everything in by hand and still nothing shows up. I am logged in to manager my snippet calls use ` ` the proper quotes and my ’My Gallery’ page still shows up as blank.


Dunno what info you might need, I am using firefox 2.0.0.3 xampp 1.5.5 and MODx 0.9.5 so everything should be up to par...

Snippet name is case sensitive, so if you have saved it using maxigallery, you need to call it using [!maxigallery!]. If that wasn’t it, post your snippet call.

I have kept the cases the same

Snippet call in parent folder ’Gallery’:

[!MaxiGallery? &display=`childgalleries`!]

Snippet call in child document named ’NS’

[!MaxiGallery? &display=`embedded` &embedtype=`slidebox` &pics_in_a_row=`3` &max_thumb_size=`110` &max_pic_size=`0` &thumb_use_dropshadow=`1`!]

Look at the document without RTE, eg. choose no RTE in the page settings or select none as editor below the RTE window. Then check that the snippet call is the same what you just posted.

Also, in the childgalleries mode, it won’t show anything until there is pictures in some child gallery.

Well... all the & were displayed as & so I unclicked RTE stripped all the excess baggage... still the same problem.

Now, you tell me it won’t display if there are no photos in the gallery, but from what I understood the only way to put images in the gallery was to upload them through the site when you were logged on as Admin. Is there some other method to get images into the gallery?

But from what I gather some form of button should be appearing on the website where I put the snippet. I still get blank pages

Yes, in the "NS" document, you should see "manage pictures" button when logged in to backend. Look at reports -> event log in modx manager to see where it’s choking.

Hi,

I have the images uploading successfully to new folders each time under the parent directory however, these images don’t display on the site at all. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

Sarah

Please give more information..

Which folders are you talking about? What "parent directory"? What snippet version? What MODx version? What kind of snippet call? Does anything come to the system event log? Do you see the manage pictures button ok and the form to upload pictures with? Do the pictures show at picture management? When you upload the picture in picture management, does it say that pictures were uploaded successfully on the page? Etc..

The galleries folder where the images are stored when they are uploaded.

The parent directory is the galleries folder. This is under assets/galleries/

Snippet version 0.5.1

Modx version 0.9.5

There is a snippet call in one document (parent container - My Galleries) that is supposed to display all of the child galleries:

[!MaxiGallery? &childgalleries_ids=`all` &display=`childgalleries` &order_by=`random` &childgalleries_order_by=`createdon`!]

There is another snippet call in a document (Gallery 1)stored under the parent container:

[!MaxiGallery? &display=`embedded` &embedtype=`slimbox` &pics_per_row=`3` &max_thumb_size=`110` &max_pic_size=`0` &thumb_use_dropshadow=`1`!]

Neither of these snippet calls are displaying the pictures. The pictures are getting stored in the galleries folder. However, the table that MaxiGallery created remains empty.

There is no message to say the pictures uploaded successfully.

The pictures do not show at picture management.

Thanks

I guess there is some error happening on image upload then.. When you upload the images, what happens when it gets the pictures uploaded? Does it return blank page or does the page just refresh and displays the picture management with nothing changed, no messages and nothing?

Upload image again and try to view system events in MODx manager (Reports > System Events) to see if there’s any errors.
