The problem is that both Gallery and WordPress set a function called _. To fix the error message, change the code in Gallery to

if (!gettext_installed()) {
if (!function_exists(‘_’)) {
function _($string) {
return $string;
}
}
}

The functions do the same things, so it won’t cause a problem.

Nick, how did you solve the login problem? Picky with what path?

I’ve been trying to integrate Gallery v1.4.4-pl6 into WordPress v1.5 for a friend’s blog/gallery site I put up for her and have come to a few issues in getting it to work correctly. Basically, in Opera and Firefox, it shows up fine… but in IE it shows up all out of whack: http://gurlrider.mindwiped.com/gallery/ that’s the link… if ya open it in IE, you’ll see the odd alignment issues. I have been racking my brain trying to figure out wtf is wrong.

I even tried following Dan Cameron’s tutorials over at http://scatteredthoughts.us but those are also for older versions of WordPress. Any ideas on what’s wrong or suggestions to resolve this? Here; I even uploaded the wrapper.header and wrapper.footer info to txt files, as well as the wp-layout.css to a txt file to review the code here: http://www.mindwiped.com/gurlrider/txt/ . Any help, grealt appreciated

Thanks.
Bob

I tried sometime ago to call:

They just never worked.

Coding the html static layout into “wrapper.footer.default” and “wrapper.header.default” just does seem to be scalable when header and footer change over time.

The strange thing is that once is in the init.php. WP will print out: “PHP Fatal error: Cannot redeclare _() (previously declared in D:\root\dynamic\wp-includes\functions.php:6) in D:\root\dynamic\gallery\lib\lang.php on line 179 .”

if (! gettext_installed()) {
function _($string) {
return $string ;
}

Listed above line 178 – 181.

Why didn’t other folks have this problem?
I haven’t hacked “functions.php” at all. What is the problem then?

Cheers.

now I can’t log in to my gallery…it pops-up the login window, and takes my password, and then just kicks me back to a not-logged-in gallery

any tips?

The thing they don’t address is getting WP functions to work in Gallery. That’s what the code above is designed to address, though I don’t take advantage of it (I actually like it better the way I have it) so I’m not sure if it works in 1.5

One thing I did find with 1.5 is that due to changes in the functions.php file, the scriptygoddess ‘subscribe to comments’ plugin no longer works.

If you want any specific info on my installation, let me know. I’d even be happy to send you any config files, style sheets, etc. you might be interested in.

It appears the new WP theme capability might dictate some changes in how I work the Gallery / WP integration, but I won’t know that until I dig into it.

I put in the init.php line, and it’s still showing the Gallery skin, not my WordPress theme.

am I oversimplifying this, and not doing something else to my Gallery that I should be, or is the init.php line intended to basically load the Gallery in the WP theme?

Someone tipped me off to the solution, otherwise I’d still be up a creek, so to speak.

Post a message on the WordPress support forum. It can’t hurt. I still receive many URL referrals from those posts, so I know that quite a few WP geeks are reading even those older threads.

- Double check to be sure you’re putting the code in the right place.

- Also, be sure you changed ‘path/to/wp-config.php’ to your proper path.

- Another thing that could cause a problem is if there are any blank lines at the top of your init file.

- You’re not running a G2 alpha are you? This has only been tested with G1.

You might try inquiring on the support board at wordpress.org. Let me know how it goes.

Thanks,

Mike

I’ve been having the exact same error with my gallery integration. I tried what you said, and put in:

< ?php
require_once(’../wp-config.php’);
?>
As my gallery directory is in a subdirectory of wordpress. But I got this error:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected ‘.’ in /www/hosts/silkworms.chinesetriad.org/gallery/init.php on line 25

Any idea what that is?

I see more and more people using the Gallery/WP combination, so I have a feeling your plugin will be very popular. I can’t wait to integrate it into my site. As soon as I get back from Las Vegas and have a free moment, I’m going to dive into it.

Happy holidays! –Ron

Wanted to thank you for the updates. I eventually decided for now to just use html_wrap in Gallery to get things to look unified, and haven’t worked up the nerve to have a unified sidebar like you.

But I did cook up a WP plugin to make it easier to post thumnails/links from Gallery into WP posts. It also includes a PHP function to call from other parts of your WP templates.

So at the risk of shameless self-promotion… see:
WP-Gallery

Feedback welcome and appreciated!

Amazing – all that frustration over essentially a single line of code placed appropriately

I think I am going to leave my code alone until I tackle Gallery G2 and WordPress 1.3. Probably going to load both current builds up on a test site soon and see how it goes…

Thanks for the pointer!

I encountered two main problems:

1) the inability to call WP functions from within Gallery pages, which I wrote about in this post, and

2) the design would ‘blow out’ when viewing large size individual images. That’s particular to my design since it’s fixed width and sometimes the images are larger than that. If you use a “liquid” design, it’ll make life a little easier when trying to integrate the two.

I did not get Gallery to call the WP framework per se. I just wanted to get access to the WP functions so I could call specific things for the left side menu bar when on Gallery pages.

Yes, Gallery is inside the main WP directory. But if you add the require_once line to your init.php file, you should be able to call WP functions from within Gallery no matter where it is located.

I think you’re right — you’d need to create a plugin to get the functionality you’re looking for. Or at least, that would be the best way of doing it. WP’s plugin system is pretty nice. With as popular as Gallery and WordPress are, I’m surprised someone hasn’t done it already.

If you’re seriously considering a plugin, you might want to build it for the G2 architecture. It’s going to be considerably different from the current iteration of Gallery.

Were you trying to get Gallery to call the WordPress framework? It looks nice.

Do you have WordPress and Gallery installed in separate directories, or as implied by your example, is Gallery installed inside your WordPress directory? (Hmm, maybe with some RewriteRules, I can fake that.)

What I’d love to do (and will probably require me coding some sort of WordPress plugin) is to:
a) easily point to thumbs from Gallery in my WordPress posts. (not so bad, since it’s a lot like the other “abbreviation” plugs.
b) show the X most recent Gallery thumbs in my WordPress menu. (possible from the Gallery RSS)
c) random photos from Gallery. (Cool, but I’m dreading that. Maybe if I just stick to a random photo from the RSS.)

I can sort of understand why G2 is taking so long. G1 uses the hidden table trick to format the page. Very clunky. It also uses a proprietary data storage system. As I recall, G2 is going to get rid of tables completely and use CSS. It’ll also start storing the data in a SQL database. Those are major structural changes to the way it works. Plus there are so many features in Gallery now that it’s gotta be a pain making this change throughout the software. Watermarking, CMS integration, Oracle support, Java and JS slideshows, IE7, etc.

I predict G2 will be bitchin when it’s finally released. It’s been in the alpha stage for quite some time and should reach beta fairly soon. There’s still a ton of stuff to do on it. There’s been no security audit on the G2 package yet, and who knows how long that’ll take. They’re still finding holes in G1! In fact I just upgraded to 1.4.4-pl4 to plug one of them…
