Problem opening galleries in Phoca Gallery in Joomla Module

[cscj01]

I am getting the following message whenever I open a gallery (category).

Code: Select all

Warning: Creating default object from empty value in /home4/cscj01/public_html/administrator/components/com_phocagallery/libraries/phocagallery/image/imagefront.php on line 370

It occurs every time I open a different gallery. So, if I have opened 3 galleries, I have 3 identical messages.

This is from my Systems Administration panel of Joomla

Code: Select all

My Phoca Gallery component is 3.1.5

It has been a while since I have added any new photos, and I just noticed this a few days ago. I do know that when I logged in to Joomla, they upgraded me to the version i am now running. I am a novice when it comes to this, so I'm not sure where to look. Can you suggest what is happening and what I need to do to fix this? Thank you.

Well, I decided to upgrade Joomla to 3.4. Unfortunately, something went wrong with my Phoca upgrade. I sucessfully upgraded Joomla, but had to use the FTP method to install Phoca Gallery. Now I get the following when I go to my homepage:

If I click on Components>Phoca Gallery, I get a list of entries with no icons. If I click on Images or galleries, these are correct. Themes gives a warning. Many items I had before seem to be missing. I am at a loss here.

Hi, unfortunately, Phoca Rhein is not a Joomla! 3 template.

Added to feature request list (overwrite it for Joomla! 3)

I understand about Phoca Rhein. I do not understand what you are suggesting when you say "overwrite it." How do I do that? I am a complete novice, so I am a little confused.

Let me ask a question. Could I completely delete Phoca Gallery and reinstall it? If so, what would be involved? I think I may have messed up more than just having an unsupported theme.

Thank you for any help you can provide.

[cscj01]

I changed my template. Now when I click on Galleries, I get the following messages:

I looked at phocagallery.php and loader.php (with the path names from the warning and fatal error above). phocagallery.php has comments at the beginning that refer to Joomla 1.5. Seems a little strange, but I'm not a PHP programmer. Other than that, I can't make heads or tails of what is going on.

[cscj01]

Okay, I am desperate. Here is what I plan to do. The worst case seems to be I would have to build my Phoca Gallery from scratch.

1) Backup my existing database;
2) Backup my phocagallery/images;
3) Uninstall Phoca gallery;
3) Reinstall Phoca gallery;
4) Reinstall my phocagallery/images;
4) Restore all phocagallery tables (or at least insert the existing records for those tables)

If I am missing something, please let me know.

Okay, the previous entry worked.

Code: Select all

I believe the other items are related to Xmap. I need to go to the Joomla forums to check that out. Is there a way to mark a thread as Solved?

Hi,

Is there a way to mark a thread as Solved?

Yes, it is..

Kind regards,

Hi, unfortunately, Phoca Rhein is not a Joomla! 3 template.

Added to feature request list (overwrite it for Joomla! 3)

Jan, in order to make Phoca Rhein Joomla! 3 compliant, just do the following:

In html/mod_menu/default.php, insert after //Submenu Feature the line if(!defined('DS')) define('DS', DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR);

Before

Code: Select all

//Submenu Feature
$app 		= JFactory::getApplication();
$template 	= $app->getTemplate();
include_once( JPATH_SITE.DS.'templates'.DS.$template.DS.'helpers'.DS.'extension.php' );

After

Code: Select all

//Submenu Feature
if(!defined('DS')) define('DS', DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR);
$app 		= JFactory::getApplication();
$template 	= $app->getTemplate();
include_once( JPATH_SITE.DS.'templates'.DS.$template.DS.'helpers'.DS.'extension.php' );

I wanted to use your template because it works so well for me, so I figured out why I was getting the error message. It was because Joomla! no longer supports DS. So I figured out how to correct it. I am not a PHP programmer, so there may be a better way to do it, but this works for me. Now I have my template back.

Hi, great to hear it, thank you for teh guide, I will set it and will release it as Joomla! 3 template.

Thank you, Jan
