 Purchased and installed SMF Gallery Pro last year around September or October. Although difficult to use, it at least worked. I don't know which version number as I can't find it anywhere. The SMF forum is version 1.1.1 but it was probably 1.1 when we originally installed the gallery. All was ok until February 2, 2007 when the errors started: 
 http://sabretalk.com/forum/index.php?board=31.0
8: Undefined index: allow_smfgallery_view
File: /home/sabremax/public_html/forum/Themes/default/MessageIndex.template.php (eval?)
Line: 576
There are several other variations of the error but they all show line 576. I checked several php files looking for line 576 but found nothing that made sense to me.

The gallery still works using http://sabretalk.com/forum/index.php?action=gallery but the Gallery tab is no longer visible on the forum. I have no idea where to start on fixing this. Any help would be appreciated but please realize I'm not a programmer or coder so try to post in layman's terms. Thanks in advance for any replies.

I am interested to know what part of the gallery was extremely difficult to use.

For the error. It seems for the above a line of code was deleted or removed. I can apply the patch to the file if you attach your file from your forum found under Sources/Subs.php


Or you can find this code in Sources/Subs.php

Code:

$context['allow_calendar'] = allowedTo('calendar_view') && !empty($modSettings['cal_enabled']);

And make sure that this code is after that line

Code:

$context['allow_smfgallery_view'] = allowedTo('smfgallery_view');

Hi SMFHacks,

Thank you for the reply and help but unfortunately, when I did exactly as you instructed using a php editor, it crashed the forum completely. I now get this error when trying to access the forum:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING, expecting ')' in /home/sabremax/public_html/forum/Sources/Subs.php on line 891 Please tell me how to get the forum back online and I'll just give up on the gallery.

Can you attach the file? I can fix it then.

Ok, I'll attach the file but I downloaded SMF version 1.1.1 again just to get a proper subs.php file and uploaded it. Now the forum's working again but the gallery is still the same with the same errors.

[SMFHacks]

Edited File attached should fix the gallery error log

Thanks but nothing's changed. The gallery tab is still not there and when I click on http://sabretalk.com/forum/index.php?action=gallery , it takes me to the gallery but this error shows up in the error log: Undefined index: smfgallery_menu
File: /home/sabremax/public_html/forum/Themes/default/Admin.template.php (eval?)
Line: 579

Can you attach your modifications.english.php file from Themes/default/languages/modifications.english.php

Here you go:

Ok thanks, we're getting there. The gallery tab is back and there aren't any new errors in the log. Unfortunately the gallery is still not listed under Configuration in the left column of the admin page:
Configuration
Features and Options
Server Settings
Current Theme
Themes and Layout

I can get to the config stuff through the gallery but I'm sure it used to be listed in admin as well. I won't be replying back for awhile as the wife informs me that dinner is ready.
Thanks again for your prompt assistance, I'll check back here after dinner but there's no hurry now since it's almost back to normal.

Hmm. It seems the SMF files were reuploaded which wiped out the mod.

For the configuration url. I again need to Sources/Subs.php file to be attached.

Ok, that seems to be it. Everything is working fine now and still no errors.

Thanks once again for taking the time to straighten out my mess. 

I promise I'll get back on here tomorrow and answer your question about what I find difficult about using the gallery. I overreacted with "extremely" difficult.

I'm done for tonight.
