Gallery Lite menu problem

[annedi]

We are running SMF 2.0.12 for nikongear.net.
I installed Gallery Lite 5.6.1.
No installation problems.

However, I cannot see the Gallery > Gallery Configuration menu item in Admin.
And also cannot see the Gallery menu item on the main page.

I've read through other (somewhat old) posts about this problem.
But I cannot see where to fix anything in index.template.php as you suggest.
The code in 2.0.12 does not list the buttons by name in index.template.php.

Any help you can provide would be welcome. Thanks!
Added later:  We are probably going with Gallery Pro.
But we wanted to simply have a quick look first using Gallery Lite.

Here is the current menu code for the main page.

Code: [Select]

// Show the menu up top. Something like [home] [help] [profile] [logout]...
function template_menu()
{
global $context, $settings, $options, $scripturl, $txt;

echo '
<div id="main_menu">
<ul class="dropmenu" id="menu_nav">';

foreach ($context['menu_buttons'] as $act => $button)
{
echo '<li id="button_', $act, '">

<a class="', $button['active_button'] ? 'active ' : '', 'firstlevel" href="', $button['href'], '"', isset($button['target']) ? ' target="' . $button['target'] . '"' : '', '>

<span class="', isset($button['is_last']) ? 'last ' : '', 'firstlevel">', $button['title'], '</span>
</a>';

if (!empty($button['sub_buttons']))
{
echo '<ul>';

foreach ($button['sub_buttons'] as $childbutton)
{
echo '<li>
<a href="', $childbutton['href'], '"', isset($childbutton['target']) ? ' target="' . $childbutton['target'] . '"' : '', '>
<span', isset($childbutton['is_last']) ? ' class="last"' : '', '>', $childbutton['title'], !empty($childbutton['sub_buttons']) ? '...' : '', '</span>
</a>';

// 3rd level menus :)
if (!empty($childbutton['sub_buttons']))
{
echo '<ul>';

foreach ($childbutton['sub_buttons'] as $grandchildbutton)
echo '<li>
<a href="', $grandchildbutton['href'], '"', isset($grandchildbutton['target']) ? ' target="' . $grandchildbutton['target'] . '"' : '', '>
<span', isset($grandchildbutton['is_last']) ? ' class="last"' : '', '>', $grandchildbutton['title'], '</span>
</a></li>';
echo '</ul>';
}
echo '</li>';
}
echo '</ul>';
}
echo '</li>';
}
echo '</ul>
</div>';
}

The menu button code is actually in sources/subs.php there should be a gallery entry
You  can upload gallery lite to
http://www.smfhacks.com/smf-package-parser.html
And make sure all the edits are made to the files.

Also make sure the text from the gallery from themes/default/languages/modifications.english.php  is in any modifications.*.php file and also in other themes if that modifications.*.php file exists.

The XML installation search position code fails for index.template.php (from SMF 2.0.12) ??
So index.template.php does not get updated ??
And it cannot be manually updated because apparently some of the code has been rewritten.
I cannot find where to add a gallery button.
I posted the function template_menu() in my first post to show you.

argh. Sorry. got installation scripts mixed up!

I ran the parser and got no errors for Gallery Lite 5.6.1 and SMF 2.0.12.

[SMFHacks]

For SMF 2.0.x it doesn't make any changes to the index.template.php make sure you chose an SMF 2.0 version

[annedi]

Yes. Sorry! (my error)
I just edited my post but will repeat:

I ran the parser and got no errors for Gallery Lite 5.6.1 and SMF 2.0.12.

So still puzzled why nothing is showing up.

Also make sure the text from the gallery from themes/default/languages/modifications.english.php  is in any modifications.*.php file and also in other themes if that modifications.*.php file exists.

Found it !!!!

It was a simple permissions problem. I am one of two Admins on Nikongear.net but not "the Admin", who of course would have immediately seen the Gallery menu items. All I needed to do was check my "Use SMF Gallery" permission checkbox under my admin General Permissions and the Gallery menu items turned on.
DUH !!!!

Thank you for your prompt response. Sorry I didn't figure that one out right away.
