i just installed the gallery menu module and when i click on one of the categories then i am getting the above mentioned error message. i did see that there is a mention of this in the FAQ but i am new to joomla and i don't understand what the FAQ is trying to say by creating a menu.

Can anyone please help me with this ? thank you very much

Hi,

If you're new to Joomla and Phoca Gallery, please the read all documentation related to Phoca Gallery: https://www.phoca.cz/documentation/categ ... -component

For example, there is a document called 'creating menu link'

Hello Carolien

Thank you very much for your answer. I looked at the documentation and tried to create a menu link.
I am having a problem understandig the following:

"Then select Phoca Gallery Category List Layout"

So far i've been able to do the following:

- You are in Menu Item Manager. Click on [New] button. / OK
- Select Phoca Gallery from Select Menu Item Type. / OK
- "Then select Phoca Gallery Category List Layout" / ? I can't find this option anywhere

When i click on a gallery category within the phoca gallery menu module, i am still getting the red "404 - Komponente nicht gefunden!" (component not found) error message.

For your information: The "normal" installation of the component/modules did not work for me. I had to install everything manually as per the instructions within the documentation. Everything seems to be fine with regard to the installation. I have the admin console and i've been able to add categories and i uploaded some sample images and the gallery menu module shows up in my template just fine.

many thanks for your help

So if I understand you correctly you cannot display any images by using the component only?

By the way: what do you see when you are in 'select phoca gallery'?

hello carolien

i am using the phoca gallery tree module as well as the phoca gallery menu module since i've not decided yet which one i'd finally like to use. i have already created some categories and umploaded images into those categories using the administrator backend. both modules display just fine on the site.

The phoca tree module now gives me a nice tree list of the categories i created. but when i click on either category, i am getting a blank screen with the standard 404 component not found error message. The same error occurs when i click on a category within the phoca gallery menu module.

Based on your last email I went into the menu manager and created a new menu item within the "mainmenu". it then gives me a tree list of the types of items i can create. From that list i chose "phoca gallery" which is one of many types i can chose from. Then i am getting a page where i can enter a title and an alias and a bunch of other settings - on the right of this page there are even more collapsable settings. I think they are called component settings. I did not touch those.

But i can not find any fields or menu items that are titled "phoca gallery category list layout" as is mentioned within your documentation. there is a "type" button at the top of the page. When i click that i get a list of types, but none of them are called "phoca gallery list layout".

sorry if i'm being complicated. i'm sure it's just a little thing that i am overlooking.

thank you so much for your kind help

Hi,

which version of the Phoca Gallery component do you use?

Don't you see a menu item type screen like this:

Carolien

When i click on "Phoca Gallery" it does not expand into detailed options like it does in your screenshot. now i see why i was confused

i "think" i am using the phoca gallery component version 2.2.0 and mod_phocagallery_tree_v2.1.0.zip . i downloaded the files directly from your site and not from another source. i will have to check this since i am not at home right now and don't have access to the actual installation. the site is not yet online but installed locally.

i copied all the files manually (as per your online instructions in the installation FAQ) since the installation did not work with the com_phocagallery_v2.2.0.zip file. i also downloaded the com_phocagallery_ftp_install.zip and used that to finish the installation. maybe i did a mistake while copying the files ?

thank your for your help

Hi,

could be possible, try to copy the files again with FTP (in the right folders)

Regards, Carolien

I'm in the same boat! I've only the 2.2.0 component installed. Manual installed online, automatic installed offline. Offline all the things are working well, online i cant choose "Menu item type" when i try to create a menu item for the gallery.

Mauri

Little update: tried to uninstall the well working component from the offline site, and reinstalled manually. It doenst work.
Maybe there is something wrong in the manual installation procedure?

Mauri

Another step: i think this passage in the manual installation guide is not correct:

3. Copy all folders and files (except front and language folders and their files) from phocagallery_tmp folder into your server's folder:
administrator/components/com_phocagallery

So i copied both directories (components/com_phocagallery and administrator/components/com_phocagallery)from the local install to the online one, and it seems working now.

hi carolien and Mauri

I deinstalled everyting via the joomla admin console last night and got an error message that certain files could not be deleted/removed.

I then deleted all the com_phocagallery folders and re-installed everything manually again. I noticed that in the previous installation i had copied the whole folder "front" instead of just its contents. i gues that's what had caused my problems.

Everything seems to be working fine now. One curious thing i noticed is that the phoca icon that is displayed at the bottom of each gallery category says "2.2.2 beta". But i did not install the beta build, but the regular 2.2.0 build.

calorien - thanks alot for your help
