Photo Gallery extension

[utvara]

Here is the first REAL Vivvo CMS extension you waited for a long time - Photo Gallery :)

The core of this extension if small modification to index.php that allows you to automatically load custom article and summary templates according to category settings. After you enable this you can visually (CSS and templates) and functionally (Javascript) distinguish the content you're serving on category basis.

Have fun using it. Note that this is just one possible implementation of this concept ;) .

Vivvo Gallery Extension

This Vivvo CMS extension allows you to post images and gallery albums on your website. Vivvo Gallery will automatically create all the necessary thumbnails and pages for you. Each image can be stand-alone with all the tools and features of the standard article (rating, comments) or your whole Category can easily be turned into an image gallery (album).

Main features of Vivvo Gallery extension:
-Easy view of recent comments across your entire photo gallery through the comments feed
-Turn your categories into photo albums
-Create all the necessary thumbnails and pages automatically
-Fully built on the Lightbox JS (http://www.huddletogether.com/projects/lightbox/) library - opens the clicked picture inside the current browser window without leaving the current page

Click over to the photos section to see the photo album in action (http://www.myvivvo.com/gallery/).

I love the idea of the photo gallery and think I will put it in there, but I was wondering if there was a way to caption pictures and also can you put a box on your front page that has a random picture generator so that it will display a random picture from your gallery.


Thanks Vivvo!

I was wondering if there was a way to caption pictures and also can you put a box on your front page that has a random picture generator so that it will display a random picture from your gallery.

As the matter of fact - yes, it is explained in the readme file attached to the Gallery extension. Read it carefully.

To enable last post from gallery box add following to include/box_definition.php:

// if you want to have last post from multiple galleries put ids in comma separated format (ie. '1,5,12')
$gallery_last_post = HTML_gallery_last_post( -- your gallery id goes here --);
$template_manager->assign($gallery_last_post, '/{GALLERY_LAST_POST}/');

After that you need to put {GALLERY_LAST_POST} tag in your index.tpl (of ctg_main.tpl).

You should really look at the gallery before making dumb comments.

I have installed the extension & all right, but there is only one problem: this problem is there is no box displayed in vivvo home to display latest gallery post, knowing that I have made all required edits to index.php.

box_definition.php edit were:

// if you want to have last post from multiple galleries put ids in comma separated format (ie. '1,5,12')
$gallery_last_post = HTML_gallery_last_post(28);
$template_manager->assign($gallery_last_post, '/{GALLERY_LAST_POST}/');


& index.tpl also edited:

{GALLERY_LAST_POST} <!-- added -->



Note: after reading the code of /include/box/HTML_gallery_last_post.php i found that it requires presence of to templates that absent from the package downloaded, I mean box_gallery_last_frame.tpl & gallery_last_post.tpl.


hope you solve this, wiating for you.

Sincerely Regards
Abdelrahman

Hi,

I just imagine this extension as official Vivvo plugin which can be used from category management, If admin want to make a gallery item in the main menu all admin need to do is set the direct link to 'folder/gallery.php' <<== this file to include the gallery setting for that particular folder, Just like the free EasyPhpAlbum but with control setting page in the Vivvo admin panel not the gallery page.

What you think boccio ? Isn't that cool or what :)

Regards,

[boccio]

This cannot be official Vivvo plugin, due to licensing restrictions of LightBox library we used for it.

This "extension" is merely an example how vast are the possibilities of making custom add-ons to Vivvo CMS, and therefore fully free and unsupported.

[apocan]

I'm using it for today's picture... for me this is best for this usage because I dont think it is a full gallery hack to use.

[Aziz]

This sound like we need some kind of bridge system to allow Vivvo admins to run another small scripts within Vivvo end-front even without administration from Vivvo admin panel.

This "extension" is merely an example how vast are the possibilities of making custom add-ons to Vivvo CMS, and therefore fully free and unsupported.
It's very easy of you'r a php programmer but let's say also it's easy to setup this gallery extension but how easy to make Vivvo upgrades plus keep the album and it's data.

I think this page confirm that a lot of Vivvo users wish to have gallery plugin with full features, I would say it's better that Vivvo team to put the question to the vote before start making sophisticated photo gallery for this fine articles script.

[steaua]

How can I remove the pictures I add to the gallery from the home page?

And: Can I make more albums within a category (I supose no...)

Later edit: In IE v6 the picture opens in a new window and not using that white stuff :D

I did everything step by step what the "read me" file says(in the zip file). However after doing that my site completely disappears. What can I do?

[sam]

how can add images in gallery?

[apocan]

you can add a photo at a time... you will add it by abstract images and nothing do as far as ı know..

[SamX]

Hi, i made all of readme file but just doesnt appear, where i can upload images, it is on control panel?

[steaua]

You add as an abstract image from "Add an article..." page. It's just like adding a normal article, only the focus is the image ;)

[2CooL]

hi
from the read me file i amtrying to replace the codes in my index file. but i dont see any codes like in read me file. what can i do?

I would like to have the ready index.php because i get some errors, when i modify the code..

THNX

[se77en]

I have successfully installed the gallery plugin and have tried it on some of my categories and seems to be working fine but how do i add images and how do i create seprate galleries ? Thanks in advance

PS: A more detail manual added to the read me will help, you guys are professionals but the manual included in this product says other wise.

[kgggk]

I still don't get it how to put a photo into a Gallery? Where and how to upload them?

[apocan]

open add new article
write something for headline
choose gallery as category
for abstarct image choose the photo that you want to display
ant then submit the article...

[kgggk]

choose gallery as category

Yes. I done it. But when I put a picture in a gallery, Vivvo place it as an article on main page. Is there a way to diseable this?

Also, there is no thumb in a gallery. Only empty frame.

[mario_braha]

[durumedya]

I think photo gallery extension doesn't work regularly and It must be fixed immediately. As we need it in excess

[kerem]

can any body tell me how to install Photo Gallery extension

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

any body


"Starting at only $195" and you get this readme file as the manual !!!

Nice work !!!

[Alex]

This gallery extension, as clearly noted number of times, is a free extension created using Lightbox JS library as example how vast are the possibilities of making custom add-ons to Vivvo CMS.

It is not an integrated part of the CMS, and therefore the manual does not cover it.

[egylions]

i cant do it can any bady help me
nile.boy@hotmail.com

[mario_braha]

am sure some of you have install this can any body shere it please haw did you do it?

[tEhLiKe007]

thumbnail.php is not working :S

[UnionDance]

Install is easy, but if you need help and support, i can do it for a small fee n_n

And yeah, is there a way to disable the image showing up as an article in the index page?

[EWorld]

Is this working with 4.0?

[Blueracer66]

Does this work with the latest release of Vivvo?

[andy77]

I think not. V4 version(s) should be released soon...

[Blueracer66]

I think not. V4 version(s) should be released soon...

Well, hopefully the developers will make a compatible version for 4.0x.

[apocan]

they said they are going to :) lets wait

[Aziz]

they said they are going to :) lets wait

Hope they take care the point of gallery articles not being display in the latest news list in the home page, This plugin really need to be a part of the original script or official plugins even it need to be redesigned because lots of users like to have a photo gallery in their websites same as photographic directory or index similar to dBase thing to allow us to make many things such members directory or friendship index or any kind of items list with some custom label fields just like the contact form maker but storing fields in mysql including pictures.

[apocan]

I dont know how will it be as you but hope for a nice extension or a plugin. they have been working on it for a long time and lets wait and see :)

[Blueracer66]

True. Quality takes time. I recently asked/suggested an article Reviews plugin here (http://www.vivvo.net/forums/showthread.php?p=7479).

Thanks for detailed explanation. We've been thinking about something similar for a while, but I can't promise when will this be available. We will probably have How-To for this one of these days/weeks, but not a full plug-in anytime soon.

If you are interested in the development of this plugin then sound off and visit the thread above!
