Hi All,
First of all, I would like to say that this mttGallery package looks awesome, and I can't wait till I have it, see the thing is I'm a newbie still in the huge Umbraco world, and I was seeking an image gallery package that would allow me to upload photo's into different categories, so once I found this I got excited!!
I tried to import the package, but unfortunately I faced lots of problems in terms of security first, then I got an error saying "Libray cannot extract this entry version required (45)" So that's when I almost gave up!!
I was wondering if there's a way where I can extract it manually? If so can anyone kindly let me know how? And if I was asking at the wrong place, I apologize in advance.
Any suggestion or hint is very appreciated :)
Cheers,
Amer

packages are simply zip archives and can actually be extracted... you could then view the xslt etc and paste into files you create. what version of umbraco are you using? as this package is for version 4. Let me know how i can be of help to you on this issue.

hello all... i made some minor updates to the mttGallery package and have updated the page here... http://packages.maliciousthinktank.com/gallerydemo.aspxbasically, i have added another parameter from an post on page one of this thread. in addition to parameters of thumbnail width and large image maxW and maxH i have added the ability to specify the height on the wrapping div class of the thumbnail images... this gives you a uniform - faux cropping and makes for nice neat rows on your gallery listings. i also cleaned up some bad xslt code on the list galleries macro that did not include an xsl:if statement around the getMedia() call. also, on the large images... i am testing to see if they are wider or taller and applying the parameters specified on the node based on that test. works great for galleries with mixed portrait and landscape pix... this way regardless of the file size uploaded, you can set good params for large images without scrolling. take a look if you can and let me know if i screwed anything up or any other additions that would make sense. my ultimate goal is to learn how to use some package actions, etc. to make this a real addition to the package repo... not sure how the dependancy on imageGen will work for that, but without imageGen, it really isn't a package worth using :P

bootnumlock wrote:have you already installed a gallery of some sorts in the past? I will try to do some testing today to see what i come up with, but let me know more details of your install please. Yes ... It is very clear that it is not easy to use Umbraco for Multi-Site installation. I installed CWS successfully, and later when I tried to install Runway Gallery and your gallery, I am getting this error. I can see the item "gallery" duplicated under many nodes across several sections in Umbraco back-office, and when I started deleted some of the "gallery" items, the CWS Gallery stopped working properly, and the error was not resolved  ! I think developer should follow a strict naming convention to avoid such conflict. Can you help me to try your Gallery Package ? Do you have Twitter ID ? Tarek.

@skiltz... it is only the package that doesn't isntall under v3... you could extract the package [it is only a zip file after all] and use the xslt contained within and add correct properties to macros, etc. hope that helps.

Hi Guys,
thanks for the discussion so far it's helped me a lot as I'm fairly new to Umbraco.
I hope you can help me with this one, I'm trying to change the thumbnail size that is generated with image gen and have had some success however; only when the a new photo is loaded using the bulk upload feature
If replacing and existing photo or loading individual photos it generate a different size thumb (the old size)
I updated the file ListGalleries.xslt
do I need make a change elsewhere?

Hi guys, for anyone interested i have been implementing photo galleries for a while on sites and will be embarking on a brand new one which i will probably output as a package at some point. http://www.sarahamysmith.com/you can create multiple galleries and categories, users can bulk up-load images then categorise and provide descriptions which display on hover. Galleries can be easily made and organised using drag and drop selector. Image box autosizes to correct dimensions. Ui is coded in xhtml/css so should be very easy to restyle. I also have implemented a jquery version which has a slideshow and pop up viewer (integrated lightbox) http://www.westcountryphotographers.comlet me know what you think would be good for a package. i will be working on one for my own photo portfolio site so will be geared for those photo bloggers who want a nice looking portfolio type site with rss blog, prints etc. Maybe even try grabbing IPTC info to help the process and macros to help you drop in images into your blog. happy coding!

Hi Howard. I would be intrested in an XSLT extension with an example XSLT package that shows the EXIF info in images that you mention. I suggest it as an XSLT extension so then you could easily style the results as you wish. for example: <xsl:variable name="imageEXIFXML" select="exif:getEXIFXML("/media/my_image_path.jpg") /> And this could then return an XML dataset of somehting like this <EXIF> <item name="Manufacturer" value="Canon" /> <item .... </EXIF>

The package on the site is corrupt. You can just unzip the images, not the other files. I tried to extract with WinRAR and with Windows integrated "Compressed Folders" app. It's still just the images being extracted. Can someone upload a working version? I do want to try this out. Thanks.

Umbraco packages are saved as either .umb or .zip files. Rather than trying to unzip them manually, import the package to your site by using the 'Packages' area in the Developer section of umbraco. cheers, doug.

Ok, only needed to look at the fancybox instruction page, :-) here's the simple add into <head> in the template:
<script src="/scripts/jquery.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="/Scripts/jquery.fancybox-1.2.1.pack.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/css/jquery.fancybox.css" type="text/css" media="screen" />
$(document).ready(function() {
/* This is basic - uses default settings */
$("a#single_image").fancybox();
/* Using custom settings */
$("a#inline").fancybox({
'hideOnContentClick': true
});
$("a.group").fancybox({
'zoomSpeedIn': 300,
'zoomSpeedOut': 300,
'overlayShow': false
});
});
Thanks alot Bob, this was awesome! And many thanks ofcourse to the jquery, lightbox and fancybox-coders...

Hi! I'am running umbraco 4.0.2.1 on MySql and WinXP. I have been trying to get Mtt Gallery 4.0 (with fancybox) to work, but I can't seam to get the fancybox function to fire. I have tried to read up on how the fancybox function gets called on it's homepage and from the umbraco forum. I also found an excellent guide on how to get it working using lightbox here http://www.quartex.co.za/blog/2008/6/19/umbraco-lightbox-gallery-reading-from-a-folder.aspx. But the calling of the js function is different for the lightbox function. I have the following in the head tag of my template in umbraco, <!-- Jquery fancybox--> <script src="/scripts/jquery.js" type="text/javascript"></script> <script src="/scripts/jquery.easing.1.3.js" type="text/javascript"></script> <script src="/scripts/jquery.fancybox-1.2.1.pack.js" type="text/javascript"></script> <link href="/css/jquery.fancybox.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen"/> <script type="text/javascript">$(document).ready(function() { /* This is basic - uses default settings */ $("a#single_image").fancybox(); /* Using custom settings */ $("a#inline").fancybox({ 'hideOnContentClick': true }); $("a.group").fancybox({ 'zoomSpeedIn': 300, 'zoomSpeedOut': 300, 'overlayShow': false }); });</script> And the corresponding images in the gallery has the following syntax generated from the macro, <div id="imageList"><div class="galPic"><a href="/umbraco/imageGen.aspx?image=/media/2461/DSCF0410.JPG&width=1024&constrain=true" class="group" rel="group" title=""><div class="imgWrapper" style="width:200px; height:200px; overflow:hidden;"><img src="/umbraco/imageGen.aspx?image=/media/2461/DSCF0410.JPG&width=200&constrain=true" alt="" /> etc... Do I miss something in how the fancybox function is called, I thought the "$("a.group").fancybox({ 'zoomSpeedIn': 300, 'zoomSpeedOut': 300, 'overlayShow': false }); });" should be called using the group class attribute as in the syntax generated by the macro? Where is my logic wrong? It's been awile since I did some web work, so please bear with me. Best regards Max Sweden
