WP-Gallery

sure thing, i’d like to take a look at it? is the perl application the core of the mod, or is it something like imagemagick? thanks!

Sounds great, Chuck! When you get it done, be sure to post it up, Chuck. ??

Hmm. PHP good. Perl bad. But, it’s your hard work, so it’s up, Chuck, to you.

What’s up, Chuck? I don’t know what you mean about the joke?? ??
Looking forward to seeing the results! Thanks for your hard work and willingness to contribute to the community.

Sounds great. I have a question though: would this be integrating gallery into WP, or just the uploading of pictures?

This wouldn’t so much integrate gallery into WP, rather it would allow you to upload images from the WP interface to a specified table in your pre-existing gallery albums. This way, you wouldn’t need to resize your images by hand if you wanted a thumbnail image on the WP index page. The only catch is the thumbnail resize would be specified by the album in gallery ahead of time, not on upload.
Update on this mod: I’m still waiting for some feedback from the guys over at Gallery as to the errors in the funcionality of the upload utility. Should have this done in the next few days … I’m excited =D

I’ve made a large post about this at the gallery forums in hopes that someone is familiar with the problem I’m having. If any of you are interested in what I’m trying to do or are very good with passing session variables along in POST headers, feel free to read over it:

How would I implement this into 1.2beta?

Intepide: I’ve not yet tried this out with 1.2 beta simply because I’ve not yet made the transition over to it. As I understand it, they’ve reworked the structure of the admin section and as a result, the way the hack is currently implemented probably doesn’t hold. In the next few days, I’ll try to take some time to get an install of 1.2 running and see if I can’t post the appropriate differences between the two installs.
However, if you’re at all eager to figure it out, I encourage you to do so. I would imagine the changes in design of the admin section are mostly cosmetic rather than functional … so I suggest looking through similar files for the modifications I mentioned; who knows, you might be able to reason it out! ??

chuckg, could you add a link to that tutorial from somewhere on the wordpress wiki, https://wiki.www.remarpro.com ?

2fargon, it would be my pleasure to add WP-Gallery to the wiki. I was hesitant to add the hack to the wiki until there was a real interest, it seemed a disservice to add a hack no one seemed to want/need.

lomara: You’re not the first to ask for this, I just haven’t had the time to get 1.2 up and running to see what it will take to make the necessary adjustments. I do plan on doing it, however, so “bare” (or is it bear?) with me until then.

Thanks for all of your efforts, chuckg. In the meantime, I cobbled together the wp-gallery.php hack into WP 1.2 beta so that the “wp-upload” page appears in the menu. It’s very sloppy, but the wp upload function works. I’m a total novice with PHP, so I dont’ think I want to publish this the way it is in case it doesn’t work for other folks.
btw, it’s “bear” as in “grin and bear it”. Not “bare” as in “bare-assed-naked”!

Is there any progress on the development, as I would love to see this happen also. In addition, I cannot get to https://www.blindmuse.com/, is the site down?
Thanks for any help.

Ditto. What’s the status on this?
