Any nice way to get the Gallery prefs?

Did you try the $PREFS class?

I did take a look at that class, but I don’t see the gallery prefs in there. In the mcp.gallery.php file, it isn’t used…

Ah, my bad, sorry.

You could try using the Gallery_CP class functions for it.

assign_gallery_preferences

Maybe, though I am not sure the gallery_id can be set as it appears to be set thusly:

$this->gallery_id = ( ! $IN->GBL('P')) ? FALSE : $IN->GBL('gallery_id', 'GP');

Which looks like an URL based test of some kind.

IF you call the Gallery_CP class you should be able to do something like this:

$GALL->gallery_id = '#';
$GALL->assign_gallery_preferences();

Then you would have the prefs you needed available from:

$GALL->prefs;

I’m just shooting from the hip here. I have a meeting to run off to in a few minutes. But something like the above should work. I’m assuming you called the class as: $GALL = new Gallery_CP; of course.

Or you could also just run the query and gather the preferences yourself, which would seem to be the lightest way to get them. Isn’t that a “nice” way?

Ya, that’s what I ended up doing…I just hate duplicating code, that’s all.

Without knowing what you’re doing, I’d say in this case it’s not worth it to dogmatically stick to a practice of never duplicating code (believe me, I hate duplicated code too). Reason being, that method was never intended to be used outside of the Gallery module, and including that entire file and instantiated a class object for just that one tiny method may be better for you from a code perspective, it is worse for the user and server, occupying more resources, not to mention running a bunch of things in the class constructor method that you do not need.

Or you could just do what Derek says…

Crawls back into his hole 😊
