    Hi everyone,

    (This is my first post - so I hope I have got this right, and if I have not, I apologise in advance)

    I am working with the latest version of MODX, and Gallery. My issue is relating to adding pictures to an album which only displays the pictures as icons and not thumbnails as I expected (as described in www.cmstricks.com), and secondly, how to locate and add Galleriffic to the MODX install for use with Gallery.

    What I am doing is :

    I am learning MODX, and have gone to www.cmstricks.com to learn about Gallery addon. Following the example in http://www.cmstricks.com/blog/integrating-a-template-into-modx-part-3

    After I have added the Gallery adddon to the MODX system, I now go to create the Album and then add some images, what i notice is that the images are not being previewed as Thumbnails within the General Information dialog box.

    I've attached a screen shot as to what is happening - you can see 3 icons for images. As per the website where I am learning about the Gallery addon it should be some thumbnails.

    (BTW - I have played with MIGx and it works with.)


    Also, does anyone know 1) how to add Galleriffic to the MODX so it can be used with Gallery 2) and where it can be downloaded with install instructions ?


    Many thanks

        Hi Bruno,

        many thanks for the post - I notice the php file is located core/components/gallery/processors/web/phpthumb.php - on my modx/gallery install I can't find it. Any ideas ?

        Or should I create the directory structure and copy it in ?

        This is what I have

        "Media/assets/connectors/gallery/" - no processor directory..

        Does this sound strange ?

        Thanks
        Laz

          did you move your core-path somewhere else?

          there should be a
          /components/gallery/ - directory inside your /core - directory
          otherwise gallery wouldn't work at all.

          by default it is core/components/gallery/

          isn't it?

            Apologise Bruno,

            I thought you were referring to the MODX filesystem. Indeed, the directory structure is there on the physical harddisk. So I created a new file from the php document your link provided, and replaced the existing file with it (Taking a backup of the old one).

            I rebooted the laptop and accessed the MODX document resource and tried to load up some images and there was no change in the preview - still seeing icons and not the images within the document resource.

            Also, I recreated the album again within Gallery and that too was still showing the image-icon and not the actual thumb of the image.

            So what was the difference between the php I copied and the existing one ?

            Many thanks inadvance for your support.

              After upgrading MODX to the newest verstion, a customer had issues with his gallery, not generating any thumbnails, not for frontend and not for backend.
              With this mods, this issues have gone away.
              Gallery is now able to generate thumbnails again.

              Seems your issue is another one then, may be it has todo with some wrong url-settings.
              Check this system-settings at the bottom of this page:

                This problem seems to be similar to http://forums.modx.com/thread/90670/unable-to-get-gallery-1-6-2-pl-to-work

                I observe the same behavior for generated thumbnails
