Solspace Gallery Extended conflicting with Mark Huot’s File Extension

I’ve moved this down to the Extensions forum as neither of the mentioned add-ons are first-party. Your best bet would be to contact the authors and see if they have a solution for you

Ahhh. This was already answered here.

The Gallery Extended module/extensions is just that; a module AND an extension. I wasn’t even using the extension, so I disabled it. Back on track now.

Here, I got the solution (a module hack)

The hack is based on the assumption that if there is a field of File type in the form, there is no linked gallery. That is, if among the fields for the entry edited there is a cusom field of File type - the Gallery Extended extension is not processed.

So, in the file mod.gallery_extended.php find (approx. line 1319) <pre><code>$this->data = array();

    foreach ( $_FILES as $key => $val )
    {
        if ( preg_match( "/image(\d+)$/s", $key, $match ) )
        {
            if ( $_FILES[ $match['0'] ]['name'] == '' ) continue;[/code]

and change to <pre><code>$this->data = array();

    foreach ( $_FILES as $key => $val )
    {
      // If the form has our custom Mark Huot's File field
      // do not process the Gallery Extended
      if ($key=="field_id_8") {
        return FALSE;
      }
        if ( preg_match( "/image(\d+)$/s", $key, $match ) )[/code]

In the replacing code change field_id_8 to “techical” (from the database) name of your File custom field (might also need to add _img suffix - cannot tell as I’m using a modifiled version of File extension)

I get this error

There was no category provided. Please go back and provide a category

Gallery extension ask me to provide a category, but I disable Images tab in this weblog =) this wxtension loads anyway…
