[Resolved] I have just installed Gallery Lite 1.8.2 what's next?

[problematic]

Hi,

Ive tried so many gallery mods,
and finally I found this Gallery1.8.2
and insatlled it successfuly.
I have added the button (Im using BlackRain theme).

I am totally no good in file codings so here is my question:

1. How can I make it show in front page (TP)?
Because when I click the gallery button, it only brings me back in forum index.
I dont see any gallery.


I need your support.

Thank you.

A link to your site would help I'm thinking. TP should have the same navigation tree as the rest of your site.

Hi mashby,

Here's the link FORUM

[mashby]

Your button code has action=galllery. Try removing one of the l characters, i.e., action=gallery. That should do the trick.

[problematic]

Pls. elaborate more, Im sorry im too slow.


Where will I find the code?

[mashby]

In your /Themes/BlackRain/index.template.php file. look in the code for galllery. replace it with gallery. Are you FTPing your code?

[problematic]

Yes, Im using FTP.


Kindly post the code to modify pls.... 

[mashby]

Would you mind attaching your index.template.php file? Or search that file for "galllery" and replace it with "gallery" and upload that to your site? How did you add the Gallery button in the first place?

[problematic]

Im using BlackRain theme.
And as I searched (SMF community), Crip (the author of BlackRain) posted how to add gallery button.

Add gallery in the current array -- then...

Code: [Select]

if (in_array($context['current_action'], array('search', 'admin', 'calendar', 'gallery', 'profile', 'mlist', 'register', 'login', 'help', 'pm')))
Just add the button like so:

Code: [Select]

   // How about the [gallery] button?
      echo '<li><a href="', $scripturl, '?action=galllery"><span>Gallery</span></a></li>';


I did that, just last night.


Pls. see the original index.template.php (attached)

Bump!

Hey mashby

Your button code has action=galllery. Try removing one of the l characters, i.e., action=gallery. That should do the trick.

I found the code and it worked!
Awesome! Thanks a lot! 

My next problem is how to show Gallery in frontpage

[mashby]

Sweet! Do you want a random picture from the gallery on the frontpage? If so, create a block, based on phpbox and put this code in there (I've altered it a bit, you may choose to set the options differently):

Code: [Select]

I have added it in frontage, and temporarily deactivated because I want those pictures to appear in thumbnails.

Thanks again mashby
