GSgallery: Need help from developers - Testing new version
#1
I'm planning on releasing a new version of GSgallery soon.
This version will have a lot of new features, and one of the new additions is the ability to install plugins into GSgallery. Need help on identifying all the possible places for hooks.
At the same time, opening the door for any developers that are willing to do beta testing, and get familiar with the plugin system (which is the same as GetSimple)

Get the latest revision in:

http://code.google.com/p/gsgallery/

you also need Admin Tab Loader installed:

Thanks.

With the new version you can easily write a plugin to incorporate that script. I'll be glad to answer any questions on how to integrate such plugin. But I'm unable to actually write it myself as I'm busy with other projects.

You can start by creating a php file inside of the plugin folder:

/yourapp/plugins/squareit-gallery/plugins/

name your file whatever you want it to be.

then the requirement of the file is for you to have something like this:
Code:
<?php
# get correct id for plugin
$mypluginthisfile=basename(__FILE__, '.php');

# register plugin
gsg_register_plugin(
    $mypluginthisfile,
    'Sample Plugin',
    '1.0',
    'Square IT Solutions',
    'http://www.squareitsol.com/',
    'Description: Sample plugin',
    'plugins', //page type
    'myplugin_initcall'
);

In reality, the plugin system uses the same mechanics as GetSimple, so the documentation on GetSimple plugins should help you get a crash course.

Here is a list of all the available hooks.

****Available Hooks***
ACTIONS
gsg-add-gallery
gsg-add-gallery-process
gsg-head
gsg-settings-render
gsg-settings-process
gsg-pre-gallery
gsg-post-gallery

FILTERS
gsg-gallery-output
*/

you will probably be using:
gsg-head
gsg-pre-gallery
gsg-post-gallery
gsg-gallery-output


Hope this will give you a good start..

It does appear to be a jquery conflict.

You don't need to send me ftp. I can probably fix it by logging in the admin section. PM me your GetSimple admin cridentials, and I will gladly fix it for you.

anyone know how to adjust the thumbnail size and the 'box display size' for new gallery 2.5???

daguy Wrote:anyone know how to adjust the thumbnail size and the 'box display size' for new gallery 2.5???

I think I've posted this before, but either way. You can go to line 559 of squareit-gallery.php
Code:
$gal .= '<a href="'.$SITEURL.'data/uploads/'.  $image .'" title="'. $sqr_captions[$key]  .'" '.$reltype.$styleclass.'><img alt="'.$sqr_captions[$key].'" src="'.$SITEURL.'admin/inc/thumb.php?src='.  $image .'&dest=../../'.GSG_RELFOLDERPATH.'thumbs/thumbmed.'.  $image .'&x=125&y=125&f=1" class="sqr_img" /></a>';

and modify
x=125&y=125
to the new thumb size.

After this you need to delete all the images in the thumbs folder inside the gallery plugin.

Then you need to change some of the CSS
Code:
.sqr_image_gallery li{
    float: left;
    padding:3px;
    border:1px solid #C7C7C7;
    min-height: 125px;
    margin:7px 14px 7px 0px;
    background-color:#FFF;
    list-style-type:none !important;
}

.sqr-thumb-cont{
    width:100%;
    height:125px;
    background-color:#FFF;
    text-align: center;
}

Change min-height in .sqr_image_gallery li and height in .sqr-thumb-cont

to the new size.

I've been wanting to do this as a setting in the plugin, but I just haven't had the time to get to it.

Well aware you do not have time now, this is a question for future only!

This is possible too much too ask of the Gallery, but you never know what clever coders can accomplish.

What I would like if possible is to either: link to another page OR to the lightbox as a ::: choice.
Perhaps below description the ability to add a link to another page???

Please take a look at this as example, and you will see its possible extended usefulness:

<http://www.realcedar.org/cedar-specifica...rview.aspx>
or this

I actually fix and added htmlspecialchars to the alt attributes of the thumbs. so you can now use html code inside of the caption to include links.

See the example here: http://www.squareitsol.com/gs/square-it-...in-sample/

In the future I will probably restrict it or improve it.. but if you get the latest version from google code repository. (do an svn checkout of the main branch) The fix for this is included.

Let me know if this what you needed.

PS: This can also be improved and extended by creating a new plugin. Just wanted to say it here, so in the event another developer wants to create plugins and extend the functionality, they are more then welcome. I hope to have better documentation on how to use the gallery and how to create plugins. But, in the mean time, everyone is welcome to post here. I tend to respond fairly quickly.

squareit-gallery.php was not updated. (It's actually line 569.)
I changed it to 180px and removed all the images in the thumb directory and it worked fine.

One Minor ? is it bug:

The text description can not be entered until gallery items I check off are saved.

Then users have to go back to enter description!

Descriptions should be enterable at time of checking off items for gallery.

It works now, but not as intuitively for new users, slightly confusing, I think.

that's all folks!

PS fabulous plugin

Weird. It should allow you to enter the text as soon as you check the box. But i will keep it in mind.

BUG:
when I fill in the descriptions for multiple items in gallery--- then make a change such as deleting items with description and without.

The entire list then does not update and all the descriptions are WRONG for each item.

Then have to re-do the listed items, this is a nasty bug

Would it be possible to some how change the way we select / manage images?

I have about 200 images in my uploads and its very difficult to scan through them all and check the right ones.

Yes, there is always a way. Wink

The truth is that initially the plugin was going to be a SIMPLE gallery plugin, that used the integrated file system. I will need to re-do/re-think some things.

If anyone has any suggestions, or is willing to help, It would be great..

Not sure if I follow you but I will try to replicate this issue, and get back to you. In the mean time, can you tell me the version of the plugin you have installed in your system?
