General Support: plogger integration for wordpress

Hay all,

Finally a goodlooking photo gallery... this is really what I was looking for...
I've only got one problem left... the integration! :(

I'm a newbie, so I hope someone can help me out.

I'm using wordpress, so I made a pictures.php file in the folder wp-content/themes/cvtanja

I used the main page template of my theme as an example and so I included following codes in my pictures.php file:
<?php include("gallery.php"); ?>
<?php the_gallery_head(); ?>
<?php the_gallery(); ?>

But now I get an error, "saying main(gallery.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory"

So I copied gallery.php from my plugin-folder to wp-content/themes/cvtanja, the folder were pictures.php is located.
When I do this I get warnings that plog-load_config.php and some other files don't exist. So I copied them also from the plugin folder to the theme-folder... But I keep getting errors.

I really don't get it :(
I tried different things, but they don't seem to work...
I looks easy, but I'm doing something wrong I guess... Do I have to call it index.php in stead of pictures.php? Or do I need to put the gallery.php file somewhere else?

I hope someone can help me out...

Thx a lot for your help, I'm still getting an error though:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class streamreader in /home/andries/domains/andries.nu/public_html/tanja/wp-content/plugins/ploggerb3/lib/gettext/streams.php on line 26

Thx a lot for your help... it's already looking better, but I still get an error: Fatal error: Cannot redeclare plog_tr() (previously declared in /home/andries/domains/andries.nu/public_html/tanja/wp-content/plugins/ploggerb3/plog-globals.php:31) in /home/andries/domains/andries.nu/public_html/tanja/wp-content/plugins/ploggerb3/plog-globals.php on line 31

I'm still using Wordpress 2.1.2, maybe I should update...

hmm, i replaced it... I'll have a look again...

I've uploaded files again & installed new WP version 2.5.1 ... Still getting the same error...

My plog-globals.php file looks like this:


<?php

ini_set('include_path', ini_get('include_path'));

@ini_set("arg_separator.output","&amp;");

@ini_set("max_execution_time", "300");

@ini_set("memory_limit", "64M");



define('PLOGGER_DIR',dirname(__FILE__) . '/');

define('TABLE_PREFIX','plogger_');

$config_table = TABLE_PREFIX.'config';



define('THUMB_SMALL',1);

define('THUMB_LARGE',2);

define('THUMB_RSS',3);

define('THUMB_NAV',4);



if (!headers_sent())

{

session_start();

};








if (!class_exists('streamreader')) {
require_once(PLOGGER_DIR."plog-lib/gettext/streams.php");
require_once(PLOGGER_DIR."plog-lib/gettext/gettext.php");
}

if (defined('PLOGGER_LOCALE') && PLOGGER_LOCALE!=='' && strlen(PLOGGER_LOCALE) >= 2) {
$locale = PLOGGER_LOCALE;
} else {
$locale = "en_US";
}
$language = strtolower(substr($locale,0,2));

$mofile = PLOGGER_DIR."plog-translations/".$locale.".mo";

// If the mo file does not exist or is not readable, or if the locale is
// en_US, do not load the mo.
if ( is_readable($mofile) && ($locale != 'en_US') ) {
$input = new CachedFileReader($mofile);
} else {
$input = false;
}

$plog_l10n = new gettext_reader($input);

// Return a translated string.
function plog_tr($text) {
global $plog_l10n;

if (isset($plog_l10n)){
return $plog_l10n->translate($text);
} else {
return $text;
}
}





?>


That should be right, does it?

Posted By: frantixHmm, weird...

I found out that my gallery didn't work anymore, but I had to change the "lib"-folder into "plog-lib"...

You are correct, sorry about that. However, don't change the 'lib' folder to 'plog-lib', just change the code from 'plog-lib' to 'lib'. I edited my post above to show this change.

Posted By: frantixNow the gallery works, and I receive an error on an other line:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare plog_tr() (previously declared in /home/andries/domains/andries.nu/public_html/tanja/wp-content/plugins/ploggerb3/plog-globals.php:29) in /home/andries/domains/andries.nu/public_html/tanja/wp-content/plugins/ploggerb3/plog-globals.php on line 29

Maybe you are including the plog-globals.php file more than once? Can you post your 'wp-content/themes/cvtanja/pictures.php' file code here?

frantix,

There are some errors in your code (which I will get to), but I was wondering if you are just trying to integrate Plogger as a static page, as a post, or how are you trying to link to it? I think you could easily create a "page" (not a "post") in Wordpress and add the code that way. Let me know how you are integrating it, and I'll post the code you should need for it to work (hopefully).

Thanks! :D

Okay, this should work for you.

Step 1 - Create 'plogger.php' theme

• Copy the 'page.php' from your template (or 'index.php' if you do not have a 'page.php' within your theme)


• Rename your copy 'plogger.php'. If you can edit theme files from your wp-admin (through the theme editor), upload the new file to your theme directory, otherwise edit it locally before uploading


• The first line of 'plogger.php' should be:<?php get_header(); ?>If not, let me know what is above this code


• Above the 'get_header()' line of code, add the following code:<?php
/*
Template Name: Plogger
*/
?>
<?php require_once("path_to_Plogger_installation_from_server_root/gallery.php"); ?> // in your case this would be 'wp-content/plugins/ploggerb3/gallery.php'
<?php
function plogger_page_header(){
global $config;
the_gallery_head();
}
add_action('wp_head', 'plogger_page_header');
?>


• Find 'the_content()' line of code within the Wordpress Loop. For example it may look something like this:<?php the_content('Read the rest of this entry &raquo;'); ?>


• Replace the entire 'the_content()' line of code with this:<?php the_gallery(); ?>


• Save 'plogger.php'. Upload to your theme directory if you edited the file locally

Step 2 - Create Your Plogger Page

• Create a new 'Page' within Wordpress


• Add whatever title you want (Plogger, Gallery, Photos, etc.)


• Add whatever post content you want or leave it blank (will not show up regardless. If you want text to show up, I can help you edit your template for that)


• Use the template pulldown to select your newly created 'Plogger' template


• Publish your page and it should show up as an integrated Wordpress + Plogger page!

Posted By: frantixWhen I change it to the default theme, I don't have the problem with the header image, but my pictures are not on a horizontal line, but on a vertical one, each with a bullet in front of the picture...

You may have to override the Wordpress CSS for <li> tags with your Plogger CSS (gallery.css). I'm guessing the styling for the list within an entry is set up differently than you would like Plogger to display.

No problem! :D

Here's how the page template looks now:

<?php
/*
Template Name: Plogger
*/
?>
<?php require_once("/homepages/13/d93364244/htdocs/ploggerb3/gallery.php"); ?>
<?php
function plogger_page_header(){
global $config;
the_gallery_head();
}
add_action('wp_head', 'plogger_page_header');
?>

<?php get_header(); ?>

<div id="content">

<?php $count = 0; ?>

<?php if(have_posts()): ?>
<?php while(have_posts()) : the_post();?>

<div class="post <?php if($count==0){?>first<?php } ?>" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">

<h2 class="title"><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>#content" title="Permalink to <?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>

<div class="entry">

<?php the_gallery(); ?>

<?php wp_link_pages('before=<div id="paginate">Pages: &after=</div>&next_or_number=number&pagelink=%'); ?>

</div><!-- /entry -->

<div class="postbottom">
</div>

</div><!-- /post -->

<?php $count++; ?>

<?php endwhile; ?>

<?php else: ?>

<div class="post">
<h2><?php _e('Not Found'); ?></h2>
</div><!-- /post -->

<?php endif; ?>

</div><!-- /content -->

<?php get_sidebar() ?>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

p.phresh,

You also needed to do this edit

sidtheduck: this works for me; well i am actually still using plogger2.1 + wp2.6x
since there is no users in plogger2 (except password to admin console which i have bypassed); how do i use the wordpress session so that only registered and logged users in wordpress can comment on the photos?

thx in advance

yep... plogger comments with wordpress login.
btw, i got it solved a while ago. since plogger is wrapped within wp header, we can actually use all the wp functions within plogger! wow.. this is so cool.. we can use plogger rocks.. i just hope there is no duplicate functions somewhere :-)

this is my display_comments function:

function display_comments($id) {
global $TABLE_PREFIX;
global $config;
$output = "";
$error_message = "";


if ($config["allow_comments"] == 1) {
// this function takes the photo id and selects all relevent comments
// it then displays them with an ordered HTML list.
// get comments from table
$query = "SELECT *, UNIX_TIMESTAMP(`date`) AS `unix_date` FROM `".$TABLE_PREFIX."comments` WHERE parent_id = '$id'";
$result = run_query($query) or die(mysql_error());

$output .= "<a name=\"comments\"></a><h2 class=\"comment-heading\">Comments:</h2>";

if (mysql_num_rows($result) == 0) {
$output .= "<p>No comments yet.</p>";
}
else {
$output .= "<ol class=\"comments\">";
while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
$url = htmlspecialchars($row["url"]);
$author = htmlspecialchars($row["author"]);

$output .= "<li>";

$output .= stripslashes($row["comment"]);
$output .= "<br><cite><font color='navy'>Comment by ";
$output .= (trim($url) != '') ? "<a href=\"$url\">$author</a>" : "$author";
$output .= "- ".date($config["date_format"],$row["unix_date"]);

$output .= "</font></cite><br><br></li>";
}
$output .= "</ol>";
}


$query = "SELECT * FROM `".$TABLE_PREFIX."pictures` WHERE id = '$id'";
$result = run_query($query) or die(mysql_error());
$row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result);

if ($row["allow_comments"]) {

if (isset($_SESSION['comment_post_error'])) {
$error_message = "<p class='errors'>" . $_SESSION['comment_post_error'] . "</p>";
unset($_SESSION['comment_post_error']);
};


if (!is_user_logged_in()){
$output .= '<p>Please login to make a comment.</p>
<form action="../wp-login.php" method="post">
Username: <input type="text" name="log" id="user_login" class="input" />
Password:<input type="password" name="pwd" id="user_pass" class="input" />

</form>';
}
else {
// if user is logged is, display the comment box

global $current_user;

$output .= '
<a name="comment-post"></a><h2 class="comment-heading">Write a comment:</h2>

</span></span></em></strong><br /><br />
<label for="comment">Your Comment</label><br />
<strong><em><span><span>
<textarea name="comment" id="comment" cols="70" rows="4" tabindex="3"></textarea>
</span></span></em></strong><br />

<input type="hidden" name="author" id="author" value="'.$current_user->first_name. ' ' .$current_user->last_name.'" />
<input type="hidden" name="comment_post_ID" value="40" />

<input type="image" src="'. $config["baseurl"] . 'graphics/submit.gif" height="20" width="54" border="0" tabindex="4" alt="Post Comment!" />

}
// endif user is logged in

else
$output .= '<p class="comments-closed">Comment for this photo is closed</p>';
}

return $output;

First I would like to thank you for this page. I was finally able to run gallery without any errors.

But. The gallery is acting weird. When I open the WP page containing the gallery I can see the album but if I try to open it it moves me to the main page of WP instead of opening the Album. Don't you know what I'm doing wrong?

When I'm trying to check the gallery through domain.com/plogger_folder it's working perfectly.

tired,

Do you have a link we could take a look at? I just wanted to see how your URL structure is set up for Wordpress.

Any luck with my problem? Is there any other way how to get the gallery working? Like fake WP page in plogger directory? Or different publishing platform than WP?

Thank you very much for your tip.

First I got the 505 error because of the non-default permalinks. Nothing worked out except adding /index.php/... before the permalinks structure. Then the gallery works great...except full resolution picture. Yes, because the /index.php/ is added to the link of the folder structure and the gallery is not looking for ...vehicle-gallery/?level=picture&id=7 but index.php/vehicle-gallery/?level=picture&id=7.

I doubt that there can be done anything about it, am I right?

Anyway really thanx a lot for your time. Just let me ask when the new version with support of the "$_GET variables" will be available?

Found my solution for error in comment posting here http://www.plogger.org/forum/discussion/2450/comment-issue/#Item_0
