4. I get this Fatal error: Call to undefined function: getparams() in .../view.html.php on line 19.

• You need Joomla!1.5 stable or any later version to run Phoca Gallery correctly.

Phoca Gallery doesn't create thumbnails.

• Perhaps your GD library doesn't work correctly.
• Perhaps your memory size is to small. Change your php_value memory_limit in .htacces.
• Perhaps your server doesn't allow to use the ini_set method

In IE6 there is a detail view outside the window.

• IE6 doesn't display preview in the middle of the screen if you use MODAL POPUP BOX (it is a known issue in Joomla!1.5 framework). But you can use STANDARD POPUP WINDOW (You can change it in Component Preferences).

Does Phoca Gallery have a problem with the links?

• No. This is a known issue in Joomla!1.5 framework. E.g. you cannot display Detail Image because you get this link:
  • https://your_site/CategoryName?option=com_phocagallery&view=categories&Itemid=1
  instead of this link:
  • https://your_site/index.php?option=com_phocagallery&view=categories&Itemid=1

5. When I am trying to open site in IE, it displays the following message: Internet Explorer cannot open the Internet site - Operation aborted

This is IE bug, type "Internet Explorer cannot open the Internet site - Operation aborted" into Google Search site to get information about this bug.

The following solution added by Ahsya can eliminate this bug on some sites running Joomla!, so if you get this error in IE, just try to read and apply this solution:

First, open:

\libraries\joomla\html\html\behavior.php

and have a look at line 155. There should be the following code:

// Attach modal behavior to document
  $document->addScriptDeclaration("
  window.addEvent('domready', function() {

	 SqueezeBox.initialize(".$options.");

	 $$('".$selector."').each(function(el) {
		el.addEvent('click', function(e) {
		   new Event(e).stop();
		   SqueezeBox.fromElement(el);
		});
	 });
  });");

Edit this line:

window.addEvent('domready', function() {

into this:

window.addEvent('load', function() {

Save the edited file and try to open the site where the error occures in IE.

If some other extension (e.g. module) adds some javascript code to your site, try to change the following code:

FROM:

<script type="text/javascript" >

TO:

<script type="text/javascript" defer="defer">

in the source code of this extension. It means the defer tag should be added into javascript tag.

6. How to display always the same thumbnail for a category in categories view

In Categories View, there is an option to display the icon next to category name, you can display:

• folder icon as icon for the category
• random image from category (or subcategory if there is no image in category) as icon for the category

If you don't want to display random image but you want to display allways the same image (thumbnail) for a category, you can do following changes in the code:

Open file:

components/com_phocagallery/models/categories.php

Find (line 221 + -):

' ORDER BY RAND()';

and replace it to

' ORDER BY ordering';

If you want to make this change for Category View too, then

Open file:

components/com_phocagallery/models/categoriy.php

Find (line 551 + -):

' ORDER BY RAND()';

and replace it to

' ORDER BY ordering';
