Gallery.Template.php

[jasonb]

Hi,

I just downloaded the 1.7.1 lite version. I've downloaded to my site using the package manager and everything goes well until it gets to the redirect. Upon redirect I get "Unable to load the 'main' template.

I'm using the latest stable SMF version 1.1.2

After looking at files put into my SMF folder, I can see that everything has been placed as should be.. I have a gallery link in my menu on the default theme and I have a link to the Gallery Administration in my admin panel. However if I click the link in the admin panel I get "Unable to load the 'settings' template. "

Now, digging around in my files I see that the xml file calls for a file "Gallery.template.php" to be created. It has in fact created that file in my /themes/default/ folder as it should BUT the file size is 0bytes. There's nothing in the file.

Going through the zip package I do not see where the information propogates from for the gallery.template.php file... So... Am I missing a file in my zip download? Or is the file simply not being written to?

Thanks in advance for any help in resolving the issue.

I would unzip the Gallery.template.php file from the zip file then copy it to your themes/default/ folder

That's just it. There's no Gallery.Template.php file in the zip.

In package-info.xml the info for "requiring" the file is there, but the actual file is not in the zip package, therefore it's output is 0-bytes. It's just being dropped in as part of the XML file command.

Code: [Select]

- <install for="1.1.2,1.1.1,1.1, 1.1 RC3, 1.1 RC2">
  <readme type="file">ReadMe.txt</readme>
  <modification type="file" reverse="false" format="xml">smfgallery.xml</modification>
  <require-file name="Gallery.php" destination="$sourcedir" />
  <require-file name="Gallery.template.php" destination="$themedir" />
Here is a list of what was in the zip.

Updated the zip file should now contain it.

BAM! 

It's there. Let's see how this puppy works now.

Thanks.

You may want to update the download link at the SMF site now too. That is where I downloaded the first time.

Done

Works great.

Thanks

I'll post a link when I get everything set up.

I have the same problem. Here's what's happening:

1. Was getting the 'Unable to load the 'main' template.' message. Unzipped the files in the gallery.zip file to the Themes/default folder. Still the same.

2. Checked the contents of the Gallery.template.php file, it was blank!

3. re-downloaded the zip file and reinstalled, unzipping again to the Themes/default folder. The files look ok this time, but I'm still getting the same error.

Could it be that there is a path error? how do I check this? do I need to specify the path for the gallery mod?

I've fixed it. I had to put Gallery.php in the Sources folder. There was already a Gallery.php file there, but it was 0 bytes, and had permissions that prevented it from being overwritten when I tried to reinstall. The 0 bytes file really should be corrected on the download on the SMF site!!!!!
