External Apps compatible with Gallery.

Hi I'm trying to get a list of current or old integrations with external apps together as a sort of quick FAQ so if you know of one not on the list below please post a quick note and a reference below.

Cheers

It's important to note that I've only tested the phpbb2 integration so there are no guarantees that the above links mean that a application is supported. But the above proves that the interest and intent is there... [/]

Gallery works great with geeklog.

Instructions here:

http://blweb.langfamily.ca/geeklog/public_html/filemgmt/singlefile.php?lid=30

A Random Photo block is also available on the same site:

http://blweb.langfamily.ca/geeklog/public_html/filemgmt/singlefile.php?lid=30

I found it was necessary to make some further modifications to get gallery to recognise the geeklog logins as suggested by Adrian Chung:

Firstly:

Add the following line to classes/geeklog/UserDB.php in function
getUidList():

array_push($uidList, $this->nobody->getUid());
array_push($uidList, $this->everybody->getUid());
+ array_push($uidList, $this->loggedIn->getUid());

Secondly, modify getUserByUid() as follows:

function getUserByUid($uid) {
if (!$uid || !strcmp($uid, $this->nobody->getUid())) {
return $this->nobody;
} else if (!strcmp($uid, $this->everybody->getUid()))
{
return $this->everybody;
- } else if (!strcmp($username, $this->loggedIn->getUid())) {
+ } else if (!strcmp($uid, $this->loggedIn->getUid())) {
return $this->loggedIn;
}

$user = new Geeklog_User();
$user->loadByUid($uid);
return $user;
}

(I replaced my entire .. getUserByUid() function with this code)

Now, if you browse to your web site gallery (http://robinbowes.com/gallery
in my case) you should see it wrapped in geeklog.

By default, all users have access to everything. You need to change this
by either explicitly giving access only to selected users or using the
pseudo "LOGGEDIN" user to only allow access to those users who have
registered and are logged in.

Log in to your geeklog site as "Admin" and open your gallery site. You
should see several admin options on each of your galleries. Click on
"Permissions" and you should get a new window allowing you to change
security on that gallery. I have currently changed the ownership of each
gallery to my own geeklog user login and allow any logged in user to view
the galleries. Save the changes and close your browser (need to clear the
cookie/cache or whatever).

Now if you browse to your gallery, you should not see any galleries. If
you log in to geeklog as a user to whom you have given gellery access you
should now see the galleries.

Is there any chance this code could be added to the gallery code base? Then geeklog integration would be as simple as adding the following configuration directives to the config file:

$GALLERY_EMBEDDED_INSIDE = "geeklog";
$GEEKLOG_DIR = '/path/to/geeklog/public_html'

On a related note, if I ever re-configure gallery via the web the config file gets over-written and I have to manually edit config.php to add the configuration directives again. Is there a way round this?

Hi Sirpineal,

what are the reasons why you prefer gallery to the already embeddable PhotoPost?

i'm trying to weigh the pros and cons. as of now, i prefer gallery but it's a hunch. need more substantiable points to convince my associates too.

I've written a quick tutorial on how to integrate Gallery into MovableType. I've posted a thread about it in this forum, but you can head right to the tutorial by following this URL:

-Ryan,

What about a integration in PHPWebSite...?

Anyone done that before?

Researching e107...
http://www.e107.org
...with the intent of integrating G1/G2 for e107's forum element. Anyone been down this path...?

best wishes, Robert

On thread:
http://www.geeklog.net

* Update... e107 didn't cut it for me. Adopted the GeekLog CMS with G1. Have been running nicely with this combination for several months. AFAIK the GeekLog compatibility with G1 is full on - the tops All my users log into the GeekLog CMS and they are seamlessly authenticated into Gallery's display functionality. No complaints, no question about it, you can add GeekLog compliance to this thread's *External apps compatible with Gallery (G1)*.

Slightly off-thread:
http://www.oscommerce.com

* I'm now about to be 'obliged' to drop G1 due to its continuing non-support for a proper in-house cart - mature or otherwise. FWIW I have broken/dropped the Jenardo offering so many times it doesn't bear thinking about.

* Now researching osCommerce for use as the shop functionality and will continue with GeekLog for the CMS... Unfortunately the display functionality of osC doesn't hold a candle to what G1 so effortlessly achieves. Having to drop G1 is proving to be quite a wrench here;~( Gallery just doesn't feature in the equation without a mature/supported shopping trolley/cart;~/ Sort of tears me apart having to drop G1 but I just can't sell pictures without a trolley even if G1's display functionality is the best by far. And I now have to sell pictures...

* Nobody seems to have conjoined G1 and osC though there seem to be many asking. For the life of me I don't understand why these two relatively mature giants (of the Open Source world) haven't got together yet.

* At first glance the osC support fora doesn't seem to be a patch on those of the Menalto site.

* Inexplicably the multitude of osC's addon stuff is all written based on the unfeasibly unrealistic methodology of a virgin/stock installation which, itself, is updated in terms of centuries in comparison to those of G1/G2. Very few of the developers/patchers/hackers seem to be able to 'spell' and all the addon stuff is littered with a myriad of simple corrections. I not emphatically so confident, as I have been with Gallery for so long, and a few casual looks at the documentation and support channels haven't been particularly encouraging.

* For me, getting the shopping aspect done will be a mandatory step forward, but the rest is likely to be steps just about so far back I'm beginning to wonder about the whole point.

best wishes, Robert

The mamCom website is transitioning to a new server. You can find current info and downloads here: http://www.mambobrothers.com/mambo/

In the near future, mamCom should return to its original home here: http://www.mamcom.org

I just read over the info included with Gallery 2 and am positive that I can get it integrated with my favorite forum system now. Thanks for making it so much easier :D

Yeah is this possible in the meanwhile? Really like the Oscommerce and Gallery combination btw! Didnt know that yet! :D
