I was not able to get Gallery working as it used to for a long time. I decided to give it a new try today.
Since upgrading my dev environment to 2.3.3-pl was not improving the situation, I decided to reinstall MODX 2.3.3-pl from scratch in a directory directly under DOC_ROOT. The procedure was straightforward : unzip the MODX directory, create an empty MySQL database, install MODX with the setup installation script, install Gallery though the admin UI, create a first album (OK), upload a picture (OK) and check the album in the Gallery admin view...
Once again all images were broken.
The reason is the generated URL was a call to the connector.php script with a wrong src parameter: path was in the form /URL_PATH_TO_MODX//URL_PATH_TO_MODX/assets/galley/1/1.jpg.
I played with the Gallery configuration and modified 3 things:
- Created a new media source called Gallery of type Gallery Albums and using this media source for the gallery.mediaSource parameter
- Changed the value of gallery.files_path from [[++assets_path]]gallery/ to /assets/gallery/
- Changed the value of gallery.files_url from [[++assets_path]]gallery/ to /assets/gallery/
And then, Gallery was finally working fine.
Why did I have to do such a modification in the default configuration? Should not the default configuration be working right from the start?
