Just a bit of feedback here:
My initial thought and expectation was, that the script would just migrate the data from the old table to the new table. I have on a clean J5 installation restored the image files and imported the old J3 tables.
Adding the joomgallery.xml file would actually be the simplest option from where I was. Likely once I will make the final migration before going live, I will use this option.
Whoa....
Ok, I might have misunderstood the situation. So the J4 script is looking for a Joomgallery 3x component which is installed at the same location? I am not even sure that would be possible in my case. So the fix here was to run a backup of my old Joomla3.9 web and tell the J4 script to use the backup's DB and folder locations as source.
So the migration worked partially. This is a dry run on my test server so will still have to fix a few issues later on. Thanks for the help, you pointed me in the right direction
Negative. I am on Joomgallery 3.4. As my version of Joomgallery is quite modified to facilitate certain features I needed, it is not really possible for me to update versions without making all the modifications again. So the plan was to upgrade from 3.4 directly onto a version that runs on J5.
I assume, I will have to somehow run an upgrade from 3.4 into 3.7, but if that fails, I seem to be out of simple options.
I have tried on a clean install where the component was installed without any issues. It has cleared out the 2nd error, but I still fail on the Source extension compatibility.
Now - could that be caused by the fact that my old Joomgallery had some extra columns in the joomgallery table which are now the issue? If yes, would removing the columns from the old table fix this issue or do I need to modify the migration script?
I am trying to complete the migration of images from my old J3 site. So far managed to sort out all issues, but no idea what are these two.
Hope someone can point me in the right direction.
PHP 8.3. As mentioned 4.0.1 is installed.
It seems the issue is the copy of my Joomla site, which is a conversion from J3 into J5. I had to fix the assets table, then install the Joomgallery again (fixed some issues) and then again... Still didn't create the DB tables.
However it went smooth on a clean J5 installation and I moved the tables from there so right now it seems all to work, trying out the migration script once I have some other things sorted out.
Hi folks,
I finally have time to work on my site and so happy there is a stable release. I am trying to get it running on my local machine, Win11 and Wamp64. Joomla is 5.3.0. No other specific components to cause any issues installed.
Unfortunately, getting a lot of errors both installing and uninstalling. After running install, I got in whole of admin the same error which looked like this. I couldn't access any admin page
In order to regain access to my admin panel, I copied the admin files into administrator/component, which allowed me to work with my admin panel again, yet, accessing the component items in the admin yielded another error:
So now I am stuck. Attempting to uninstall the component reverts me to the first error. Attempting to use the component gives me the second error.
Help folks?
Thanks, will do, did not get far with Alpha 1 anyway due to other issues on the live site.
Will report feedback as soon as possible
Can you plaese provide further info about your system (joomla version, php version,...)?
If the installer has errors the first time installing then the installation failed and the component will not work properly. Every other "installation" after the first one is considered an update not an installation anymore thats why the error messages changed.
Attached. Seeing lot of issues, might be related to the database and tables. Seeing a lot of errors when creating or modifying categories, access rights with field ID has no preselected value, date created, date modified being empty. Errors in frontend when looking at category view etc. Trying to get this configured so I can start migrating my image data and see how things work on the frontend.
MrMusic Yup, Alpha1, just experimenting with it. All kinds of warnings left and right but getting through it slowly
Interesting, just kept installing the extension and on each attempt it managed to get further in the process and like on 5th attempt it said it installed successfully.
Off to testing!
Hi folks,
finally decided to start working on a J5 upgrade from J3.10. Spent a few hours in desperation getting an upgrade done, but I have now j5 running with my content migrated.
Now, as you guys did great job in getting the Alpha out, I obviously tried, but - immediately got an error. Any ideas what could cause this?
Once I get up to speed with the code changes in J5 I can help get some stuff going.
Thanks, I am usually trying to keep the code light and not implement any additional components which add a lot of heavy code to the site.
What I am looking for is just very simple feature, adding a limit to the comment size and adding a comma separated list of blacklisted words, e.g. most spam adds links to their sites, tries to sell generic viagra or other stupid stuff. So will just add that to my code and get those spammers off my site.
I am getting a lot of hits by bots who try to spam my page via all possible forms. reCaptcha is of little use for non registered users and seems they just submit the form without any frontend validation.
So - big question - is there any setting I have overlooked in the Joomgallery configuration which restricts the length of the comment and which allows to blacklist words?
Well that Javascript is preloading all the large images which you have in the gallery on page load and not when you click on the zoom button.
Not entirely true. Page inspector shows several very large files. Check those and fix their sizes for better performance. See screenshot
Geht relativ einfach durch einen edit der suchfunktion von Joomgallery.
Beispiel - auf den namen des Authors unter dem bild clicken
Danach uebernimmt die Joomgallery einfach die variable Author und den namen des users und sucht nach den bildern, bei meiner seite wie folgt /galeria/search?Author=marosbts
Dies sollte rech einfacher mod fuer jeden sein der sich ein bischen mit Joomla und PHP auskennt
I have the same problem in the loading times of the category view. There are about 30 thumbs but it really takes too long. I had it devided into various pages but I find it`s too complicated for the users specialy on a mobile. Here is a link: http://www.christahillekamp.com/de/galerie/gallery/cityscapes.html
Tom, your issue is very simple - in category view you are displaying images which are not resized properly for category view. Some images are in very large resolution of up to 3000px on the longer side and a total file size of some files around 1.5MB. Total page load is 29MB.
You need to go to your Joomla -> Joomgallery -> Configuration manager -> General settings -> Image Processing
There set the proper size restrictions for Thumbnails - seems 380px is your desired thumbnail size and set quality to 85 which should be sufficient.
This will fix it for further image uploads, but you will need to recreate the image thumbnails and resize them to 380px on the wider side.
Do you have the the Minis enabled in your detail view? If yes, how big is your number of images in the category?
Ok, I have not had time to work on this for a while, but basically got some part of this done recently. I am however a noob and have no idea what I am doing, so it is not yet working as desired.
I can display albums and a preview of the images just fine. Routing works fine to the Albums level which is almost like Category level in Joomgallery.
My URL would be in this case something like index.php/gallery/albums
Now, when I click any of the albums, my URL will go to something like index.php/gallery/albums/album/test-album/
Question here is - can I get the URL to behave in a similar way to how the category view/image view works? So the desired URL would omit the album segment?
Desired URL would be index.php/gallery/albums/test-album/ ?
My code in the router is like this:
In
function JoomGalleryBuildRoute if (isset($query['view']) and $query['view'] == 'albums') {
$segments[] = '';
unset($query['id']);
unset($query['view']);
}
if (isset($query['id']) && isset($query['view']) && $query['view'] == 'album') {
$segments[] = 'album';
$dbquery = $db->getQuery(true)
->select('alias')
->from('#__joomgallery_albums')
->where('id = ' . (int)$query['id']);
$db->setQuery($dbquery);
if (!$segment = $db->loadResult()) {
// Append ID of category if alias was not found
$segment = 'alias-not-found-' . $query['id'];
}
$segments[] = $segment;
unset($query['id']);
unset($query['view']);
}and in
function JoomGalleryParseRouteif ($segments[0]=='albums' or $segments[0]=='album') {
$result_array = JoomRouting::getAlbumId($segments);
if ($segments[0] == 'albums') {
$vars['view'] = 'albums';
} else {
$vars['view'] = 'album';
$vars['id'] = $result_array['id'];
}
return $vars;
}
