This is what he wants done, I haven't the clue...

UPLOAD and CREATE PHOTO STORAGE DIRECTORY
2. Expand the XoopsGallery2 module in the modules area and change to a name of your choice.
(new feature initally it is xg2.1 but you can rename it to anything you like,
except pre-existing names, duh)
a. This is done like every other installed module (dont initalize yet)
b. Module in place. Time to initialize components... but...

3. Prior to initializing Gallery2 create a directory for the gallery data.
a. It is highly recommended that the directory be *outside* the website root
b. Directory location example (*nix/*bsd):
i. /server/html/ <-- server root
ii. /server/xg2data <-- suggested location for gallery data
iii. Can be anywhere you want, really!
c. Make the data storage directory accessible by the web server group
d. Example (*nix/*bsd):
i. Web server group is called 'apache'
ii. Your name is 'user'
iii. chown -R user:apache /server/xg2data
iv. chmod 774 /server/xg2data/*
e. Gallery2 data directory is setup

III. INSTALL GALLERY 2
4. Initialize Gallery2.
a. Go to www.yourdomain.com/modules/yourgalleryname/engine/install:
b. Follow the instructions!
c. You will need to upload an authorization text file to the gallery2 (aka engine) directory
i. /server/path/to/html/modules/yourgalleryname/engine
d. You will need to make the empty engine/config.php file writable by the webserver.
i. change permissions to 777 for config.php or at least 666 for write ability.
e. If you are not using the existing XOOPS database, you will need to have one ready prior to the Gallery2 initialization
i. you will need hostname (localhost if on same server), database name, user access name and password.
e. Follow the Gallery2 install instructions, they work!
i. the files are correct to version 2.1 RC2a but you may see 18 "issues".
f. Gallery 2 is installed.

IV. INSTALL XoopsGallery MODULE
5. Initialize XoopsGallery2 module
a. Like any XOOPS module (If you dont know, you aren't ready for this alpha)
i. go to administration section and initilize the module
ii. change the prefferences to fit your server settings (My guesses should be correct, *should*)
iii. create at least the main menu block to show up on the gallery page.
iv. go to the admin menu of the gallery module and click on the Export me link
v. done.

6. Go to the XoopsGallery2 module and see if you can admin the gallery.
a. I suggest useing the XOOPS theme, not perfect but works for me. Also. edit the gallery2 XOOPS theme to suit your needs.
b. If so then you have the option of changing the /module/yourgalleryname/engine/config.php file to be a embed only install
c. This is recommended after everything works the way you want.
d. If something doesnt work correctly, you can login to gallery2 directly (if you didn't follow b above)
i.http://youweb.com/modules/yourgalleryname/engine*/

Can anybody do this for me? I've ftp'd it to my server but I have no clue what to do, even after reading the readme 10 times.


My server is linux operating system, apache version 1.3.37 unix, php version 4.4.4

This is what I get when trying to install ecal in Xoops


Installing Event Calendar

Invalid default value for 'id'

Unable to install eCal. Error(s):

It is only a 196kb tar file. When I expand, there is nothing (folder)there. I tried other mirror sites also with no luck.

I haven't seen any install docs for this module. I tried to install and get an error not installed in my admin.

what does this mean?

Copy the contents of the include directory to XOOPS_ROOT/include.

Is my folder XOOPS in considered the root?

It is a folder looking thingy inside the box. You can see my center wecome is too low too.

OK, saw that problem, had to totally eliminate it from my modules folder. Now it loads correctly. My center block seems low. It looks like there is a folder behind it which lowers it. It looks like a file folder with the tab on the right, it has the XOOPS logo on it.

I see what it is but don't know how to get rid of it. I had a module installed which comes up before my block somehow. I uninstalled the module but this comes up now..Selected module does not exist! How do I get rid of that? I uninstalled the module and I don't see it anywhere on the admin pages or module pages or group pages,etc.

That's what I thought Christian. I just went back to that screen again and double checked, I have all block access rights checked. It still comes up when going to the main page unregistered.
