Gallery not appearing

I am experimenting with the gallery addon documented here:
http://rtfm.modx.com/display/ADDON/Gallery

I’m using modx-2.1.2-pl and gallery version 1.2.1

After installing the addon, I can access and edit the settings that appear in the ’components’ menu.
I have no problem editing and saving a gallery.

I’ve created a gallery and marked it ’active’ and ’prominent’.

I’ve followed the directions here:
http://rtfm.modx.com/display/ADDON/Gallery.Setting+Up+Your+Gallery

So, I now have a gallery with the id ’1’.

This is the code for my resource. Most of it is simply copied from the documentation from the set up guide.

<h1>In Frontpage</h1>
<p> </p>
<p>Here, we will test a gallery.</p>

<div style="float: right">
<h2>Galleries</h2>
<ul>
[[!GalleryAlbums]]
</ul>
</div>
 
<h2>Item</h2>
 
[[!GalleryItem]]
[[!+galitem.image:notempty=`
<div class="image">
  <a href="[[+galitem.image]]"><img class="[[+galitem.imgCls]]" src="[[+galitem.image]]" alt="[[+galitem.name]]" /></a>
  <br />Albums: [[+galitem.albums]]
  <br />Tags: [[+galitem.tags]]
</div>
`]]

After clearing the cache and reloading the site, I can’t see anything.
Looking at the sites source code, I can see that the code above is being output into the resource. However, no images are being shown.

What have I missed?

You’re missing the displaying selected album code.

[[!Gallery? &album=`1` &toPlaceholder=`gallery`]]
<h1><a href="[[~[[*id]] &galAlbum=`[[+gallery.id]]`]]">[[+gallery.name]]</a></h1>
<p>[[+gallery.description]]</p>
 
[[+gallery]]

I’m still not seeing anything.

The complete resource content now looks like this:

<h1>In Frontpage</h1>
<p> </p>
<p>Here, we will test a gallery.</p>


 <div style="float: right">
<h2>Galleries</h2>
<ul>
[[!GalleryAlbums]]
</ul>
</div>
 
<h2>Item</h2>
 
[[!GalleryItem]]
[[!+galitem.image:notempty=`
<div class="image">
  <a href="[[+galitem.image]]"><img class="[[+galitem.imgCls]]" src="[[+galitem.image]]" alt="[[+galitem.name]]" /></a>
  <br />Albums: [[+galitem.albums]]
  <br />Tags: [[+galitem.tags]]
</div>
`]]
 
<hr />
 
[[!Gallery? &album=`1` &toPlaceholder=`gallery`]]
<h1><a href="[[~[[*id]] &galAlbum=`[[+gallery.id]]`]]">[[+gallery.name]]</a></h1>
<p>[[+gallery.description]]</p>
 
[[+gallery]]

Try your gallery call uncached.

[[Gallery? &album=`1` &toPlaceholder=`gallery`]]
<h1><a href="[[~[[*id]] &galAlbum=`[[+gallery.id]]`]]">[[+gallery.name]]</a></h1>
<p>[[+gallery.description]]</p>
 
[[+gallery]]

I had an issue with NivoGallery not displaying when the gallery is uncached.

Let me know if it works.

I got it working.

I actually completely reinstalled modx from scratch, and followed the setup process in the documentation for gallery again.

This install is just a lab setup, so I can get away with blowing everything away.

I’m aware that this doesn’t help me figure out what I did wrong. But at least I can start playing with the addon now.

I used the unmodified code from the documentation, so I’m allowing caching.
