Installation w/o probs but nothing to see

[realJedi]

Hey there,

I'm the responsible admin and tech-contact of the forum Qui-Ran Demera bought the pro-version for.

I set up SMF Gallery Pro on our SMF 2.0.4 with PortaMX 1.51 yesterday - without any error-messages. All files were copied and modified the way it should be during setup, just "./Themes/default/languages/Modifications.english-utf8.php" and "./Sources/PrettyUrls-Filters.php" were skipped untouched as announced before starting the procedure. Bad news: the gallery can't be found in the administration panel and the user interface, too. When installation was done, I've been redirected to the admin panel instead of the configuration page. My first thought then (after checking for successfull changes or errors) was to undo the changes via uninstall and switch from German to English language to try again, as I did, but this didn't work as well: no config available, no buttons, no text-links or new categories in the admin panel.

What, exactly, do I have to do?

Thanks a lot!

Did you install with the package manager or manually?

The key change for the admin area is the edits to the Sources/Admin.php check if that edit was done correclty.

I used the package manager. By a look on the Changes on ./Sources/Admin.php it has obviously been changed. Is there a special entry I have to look for?

Thanks

Should have this code in that file

Code: [Select]

'gallery' => array(
'title' => $txt['smfgallery_admin'],
'permission' => array('smfgallery_manage'),
'areas' => array(
'gallery' => array(
'label' => $txt['smfgallery_admin'],
'file' => 'Gallery2.php',
'function' => 'GalleryMain',
'custom_url' => $scripturl . '?action=admin;area=gallery;sa=adminset;sesc=' . $sc,
'icon' => 'server.gif',
'subsections' => array(
'adminset' => array($txt['gallery_text_settings']),
'admincat' => array($txt['gallery_form_managecats']),
'approvelist' => array($txt['gallery_form_approveimages']),
'commentlist' => array($txt['gallery_form_approvecomments']),
'filespace' => array($txt['gallery_filespace']),
'catpermlist' => array($txt['gallery_text_catpermlist2']),
'batchftp' => array($txt['gallery_ftp']),


),
),),
),

Seems as if we found it. We had to change the path-settings because there was an old entry from an even older mkportal installation inside the paths (don't ask why... ).
But there was another problem while importing from aeva media because we also have the PMX-Blog-System installed. We'll have some more testing on thursday with having PMX-Blog uninstalled.

Thanks a lot, we'll report our success

Ok let me know if you need help with it.

[Cool]

hi,
i work together with @realJedi on that board, so i may clarify things.
1) the install of the gallery went fine up to the point where the redirection shows up. after the redirection it goes directly into the normal admin-panel not into the gallery-settings.
after we set the user-rights for the gallery we could get into the gallery-settings. then the path-settings inside the gallery-settings shows up a wrong path where "/mkportal/album/" is a part of the path.

but in the whole smf-system there donīt exists such path except inside very old posts where pictures are linked to the old mkportal-system wich donīt exists anymore.

so the question is how the gallery-settings get this (old)path from?

[SMFHacks]

Can you take a screenshot?

The gallery does not import old settings/paths. It should default to yourboard/gallery/ and http://www.yourdomain.com/gallery/

[Cool]

sorry no screenshot for this.
after we deinstalled smf-blog the smf gallery installed without problems(also path was ok) and the "import" from aeva went allmost fine...just some small things to fix.

that this time the path-settings where ok is surely related to that we did not delete the db-tables(first setup) so all (right)settings where allready there.

so overall the gallery is up and running.

Ok good glad to know you got it working.
