As per instructions from Ryan Thrash, I am posting the MODx Module for Menalto Gallery 2, Gallery2 or G2, whichever you choose to refer to it as. This module requires an already configured installation of Gallery 2 (2.1.x is causing some problems at the moment, but 2.0.4 seems to work well in all my testing an production environments. This module, its installer, and the readme doc were created by Raymond Irving (xwisdom). I have done little more than test it as vigorously and extensively as possible. I will try to help with tech support as much as I can. -sD- Updates: Please see the link below for Gallery2 2.1.2, it requires you to have MODx 0.9.5. http://modxcms.com/forums/index.php/topic,5077.msg78388.html#msg78388 |

Great news Scotty ! Though I have to admit, I have become a huge fan of MaxiGallery, it's so flexible and sexy with AJAX  Yet, Gallery2 can be useful when several people have to work on galleries and permissions have to be handled... I'll try to give it a run this week... |

I really believe that for a MODx user, MaxiGallery is supperior in most ways to G2. For anyone implementing a "new" image gallery on their site, I could not recommend anything other than MaxiGallery. I belive this module to be useful to those users with an existing G2 installation that is too large to efficiently transfer over to MaxiGallery. Anyone else should first take a good look at MaxiGallery. later -sD- |

I belive this module to be useful to those users with an existing G2 installation that is too large to efficiently transfer over to MaxiGallery. Anyone else should first take a good look at MaxiGallery. As being a fan of the G2, I can't admit to that. Don't get me wrong, I don't want to start a big arguement and I really think that MaxiGallery is pretty awesome for it's short development time! But G2 has to be more mature according to it's devolopment time and the big development community. It has a very well defined plugin architecture (with lot's of plugins available for features which were asked for in the MaxiGallery thread mentioned above - which is, btw. 16 pages long, thus not easy to work through) and core features I really appreciate much, like the possibility to use symlinks to pictures already on the server instead of uploading them again, just to mention one. MaxiGallery seems better integrated at the moment to modx than G2, which is not astonishing 'cause it was developed for modx, I'm really looking forward to friendly URLs with G2 in modx  MaxiGallery seems to be very hip at this time, personally I think because of it's cool visual effects (i.e. Lightbox) - but as someone who looks first on accessability for as much users as possible javascript or AJAX on the user side is not sooo desirable  - for example, none of the rich text editors in the backend works when browsing from within my companies network due to content filtering firewalls  But I never was a friend of the "one-tool-fits-all-strategy", so I think there are use cases for both tools. And if doze keeps up his excellent work, maybe one day MaxiGallery could become as mature as G2, which I really would like to see. Cheers, Frisco |

Hi,
When trying to acces the gallery2 admin module, I've get the following error:
Fatal error: Call to a memeber function isError() on a non-object in .......
The same when I try to acces the snippet on a page.
I think it has something to do with: Relative URL to Gallery from CMS
In : Edit module -> Relative URL to Gallery from CMS, what do I need to put there? From which directory do you mean?
thkx in advance,
Fred

You're probably using the 2.1.1 version of Gallery. Unfortunately, that version won't work because the 2.1 version introduced some changes to the API that breaks the module. You'll need to download and install the 2.0.4 version from here ( http://codex.gallery2.org/index.php?title=Gallery2:Download&oldid=8035). |

A goal for Gallery 2.2 is "No major API changes". On the one hand means that changing the MODx Module to cope with 2.1's changes is worthwhile, but on the other it looks like the Module needs to change, not the main Gallery code. This may sound an odd question, but with the unusual way that this has been posted (not by the module author), I must ask if Raymond Irving (xwisdom) intends to do further work on this module? |

This may sound an odd question, but with the unusual way that this has been posted (not by the module author), I must ask if Raymond Irving (xwisdom) intends to do further work on this module? Yeah, the module code itself needs to be updated to take account for the new changes to the 2.1 API. Once that's done, I think the module should be in better shape. Raymond has said that he'll be working on it further but he's been a bit backed up with other things. If myself or some of the other devs have time, we'll definitely get busy on at least getting the API changes in there. Alot of work is being done to push MODx to an official 1.0 release so...well...you know how that goes! So much work, so little time! LOL! |

Yes, you were right. I was using the newest version of gallery2. It is working now.
Thank you for the quick reply!

Gallery is a great tool for the major players who need more, I would not recommend Gallery for simplier needs it's just too much a beast to handle for the majoirty of net users and can be difficult to setup. Having a simple setup is better taylored to MODX and good for everyone. KEEP IT SIMPLE STUPID (KISS)  but since MODX prides itself being for the advanced and complexed geek then G2 is exactly the right place for MODX he he Although the initial G2 setup entails more, once you do have it set up it should be no less difficult than the SMF board, I use G2 but consider it too much for my simple needs but others may find it perfect for what they need load 20,000 family photos to the internet for all the sick n twisted to browse  |

Hi ,
It's just a time issue with me at the moment but from where I stand I think it should be easy to follow the SMF bridge design to create something similar for the G2 bridge.
Once you can get the users synced then all should flow smoothly
