General plugins

Thanks very much for your work. Your changes appear to work fine with 2.1.2 and 1.6.2

I'm having one problem that I also had with the original 'gallery' module.

I have a site http://moodle.cs.colorado.edu

The root for the moodle is /var/www/html/moodle-1.6.2

I installed gallery2 as /var/www/html/gallery-2.1.2 and then symlinked to
/var/www/html/moodle-1.6.2/gallery2

This lets me visit http://moodle.cs.colorado.edu/gallery2 and set up the gallery.

When I create a gallery in Moodle, the CSS links are incorrect - they don't have the leading '/gallery2' in them.

For example, from my sample gallery, I have the following..

   <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://moodle.cs.colorado.edu/theme/standard/styles.php" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://moodle.cs.colorado.edu/theme/chameleon/styles.php" />

 <!-- Gallery Header Info --> 
 <script type="text/javascript" src="modules/search/SearchBlock.js"></script> 
 <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="modules/icons/iconpacks/paularmstrongdesigns/icons.css"/>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="themes/matrix/theme.css"/> 
 <!-- End Gallery Info --> 

    <meta name="keywords" content="moodle, systems: Pictures " />
    <title>systems: Pictures</title>

    <link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://moodle.cs.colorado.edu/theme/chameleon/favicon.ico" />

I can fix this by putting an explicit <link .../> in themes/chamelon/header.html that includes the
/gallery2 CSS files mentioned above. This makes it brittle and difficult to update styles.

Looking at mod/gallery/view.php, those CSS (and javascript) links are provided by G2 using
        list($title, $gallerycss, $javascript) = GalleryEmbed::parseHead($g2data['headHtml']);
I'm not certain what I would need to change in gallery-2.1.2 to have it prepend a /gallery2 to
the CSS.

Any suggestions?

Hi Don

Thanks for this update. Just a little paranoia  on my part. The bundled README.txt still states:

Development Environment:
    Moodle:   Moodle  1.6 HEAD
    Database: MySQL   4.1.16
    Gallery:  Gallery 2.0.4

NOTE: Gallery 2.1 Blackjack is NOT compatible due to "many changes to the core framework"

1.  Install Gallery2.0.4 from http://codex.gallery2.org/index.php?title=Gallery2:Download&oldid=8035

Presumably it is safe to ignore this, and it works with Gallery 2.1.2

Hello and thanks,

I've been successful in installing the Gallery2 integration module but have a couple of questions/problems.

First, when I click on the breadcrumbs for the gallery or on the link for the gallery that appears in the activities block I get an error that reads "a required parameter was missing" (see attached screen capture below) with the "continue" button below it. Clicking on continue takes me to my Moodle front page. This is an issue that I have with another module (attendance). Not sure what causes this.... Any ideas?

Second, is there anyway to clean up the look of the Gallery2 integration? What I mean here is that I have a bunch of links that appear when I access my Gallery through Moodle. Pasted below:

(Advanced Search Add Album Add Album To Cart Add Comment Add Items Edit Album Edit Captions Edit Permissions RSS Feed for this Album Show Debug Tree View Latest Comments View Slideshow View Slideshow (Fullscreen)

and two photos always appear, even if they are the same photo, when I view the Gallery.

It doesn't look very slick at all as I have it now. Maybe I need to adjust the configuration through Gallery directly? and then view it through Moodle?

Any advice will be appreciated.

Hi All,

Is gallery2 working fine with Moodle 1.6? I am having some problem while setting it up online. The links in the gallery are dangling.

Please help.

Priya Saini,

Here is the latest version of the Gallery2 integration for Gallery 2.1 module.

Fixed an issue preventing courses from being deleted.
Added information into the Readme.txt file on how to fix the layout from Gallery2 to Moodle.

Being relatively new to PHP I'm a little stumped on the layout issue. I'm running short on time these days, so I can't chase it as much as I would like to. I have added information on how to adjust the Gallery2 config file to correct the layout issue. Hopefully I can get that resolved soon.

Enjoy and Thank You.

Don

Don (& all),

I'm really enjoying this integration and, thanks to the help I've received here in the forum, my integration is running quite well.

I have, however, just stumbled onto an issue and wondering if there is a simple solution. I wanted to create an album in Gallery (directly instead of through my Moodle integration) and use that album for a different reason (not related to Moodle) but I just realized that the new album also shows up in my Moodle course that I have installed the integration package in. Is there a way to get only the one album that I intially created to show up in Moodle and other albums created directly from the Gallery admin page to only show up in Gallery? Or do I need to install a separate and unique instance of Gallery for use outside of Moodle?

Thanks again and in advance for any help provided.

Jason
