Gallery Categoree

Hi Erin.

I ‘ve tried it but it blocks the plugin manager page in the CP and shows an empty page. I am using the ExpressionEngine 1.6.2 (latest version).

It will be a very nice addition to Gallery, if you fixed it.

Well. That wasn’t the intended behaviour!! ;=)

Let me look into it.

Hmmm…I just tried the zipped version above and it seems to be working fine on my system.

I am not sure how to go about debugging this, so if any experts could chime in, I would appreciate it.

It is possible that your plugin manager page was already broken, and that you discovered that fact when you tried to add this plugin.

But if removing the plugin from the plugins folder makes your plugin manager work again, that would be proof positive that the plugin was the cause.

Is the latter situation so? (I once had conflicting plugins create this empty page behavior.)

Can someone else please try this (install it and check)?

Thanks

I just tried it on another completely separate EE install of mine and it loaded fine.

I would be interested to learn more about your situation.

Yes, Terry. That’s what I am saying.

Ok I installed it and read the usage, but still I don’t get it how to have the category name in my URL? Any sample code?

Sure, the plugin expects the category name to be the 3rd segment, so the URL has to look like http://mysite.com/gallery/cat/cat_name, where ‘cat’ is the template.

In that file, simply put:

{exp:gallery_categoree:categories gallery="{gallery_name}" parse="inward"}
[gallery code in here......]
{/exp:gallery_categoree:categories}

And then you have access to the {cat_id} variable, among others (see the docs).

Is that clear?

Erin,

You probably have a space or extra return character either after or before the opening and closing <?php ?> brackets. That is typically what will cause the fun blank page. If the Plugin page were broken we would be hearing about it before this. 😊

The thing is, it seems to be working for at least one other person and me, and NOT working for a single individual.

I will check the file, however, to make sure.

Thanks

I get that, but its actually not unusual for that to be the case. You have different version of PHP running on all those machines.

It would be nice if PHP weren’t so different from minor version to minor version but sadly it often is.

Jamie

OK…I will check the file later once I have figured out what I want for dinner.

OK, there was a space before the first tag. Digitalp, try it now.
