Well, after a good deal of toil and head-banging, I finally got the php “gallery” package up and running. This provides some pretty cool image viewing functionality that I really like. Unfortunately, there appear to be a few problems running Gallery in “embedded” mode like we’re doing.
- Non-authenticated users cannot add comments to pictures
- Sometimes the photo album stuff works weirdly on some browsers. Think that’s a problem between Gallery and the browsers, though.
- Navigation links sometimes take user out of Drupal framework. Grr.
- Can’t use the “Goofy” theme with it. This really bugs me, because I really liked that theme! But it prints out strange “\n” characters and form elements all over the screen when you use it — ugh.
That’s about it. Hopefully it’s convenient for family and friends coming to visit. If you’re a registered user (register using the link below the Log In link on the right-hand side), know me personally, and want some gallery space, then just email me (matthew at barnson dot org) and I will happily create an area for you to post your photos or drawings, too!
Peace, out, look like my Redhat 8 machine is almost finished an apt-get dist-upgrade to Redhat 9 here at work, so I can go home! Woo! It was a slight pain; I’ll talk about it more in my next weblog I think. However, apt-get has made it possible to easily upgrade my computer from one version of an operating system to the next without losing all my settings and files; this is a HUGE win in my book.
Killer
rah!
