problem: clicking on thumbnail shows webpage, not image

[tbare]

joomla v. 1.5.15
phoca gallery v. 2.6.1
phoca gallery plugin v. 2.6.2

Here's the problem site: (still under construction, obviously) http://vt.tbare.com

I've got the unpublished menu item as type "Phoca Gallery Category Layout" pointing to the gallery's category.

the code for the gallery is:
phocagallery view=category|categoryid=1|detail=0|displayname=0|displaydetail=0|displaydownload=0|bgcolor=#22DBD0|bgcolorhover=#177E78|imagebgcolor=#177E78|bordercolor=#177E78|bordercolorhover=#ffffff}

when you click on a thumbnail, however, all you get is a copy of the site in the modal box....

what gives?!?!

I've set this up the same way as i have a different site that works great...

thanks in advance...

just as an update, i've found a couple more things out:

http://vt.tbare.com/gallery2.html

that is where the unpublished menu item is pointing (i had it gallery.html, which is the gallery, but that didn't work, so i changed it for testing purposes.) gallery2.html works when you click on the thumbnails (kind of...). the first time, i clicked on the 4th thumbnail and got "Gallery not published" above the image, but as i clicked more, the text went away... ???

additionally, under the picture, the 'next' and 'previous' buttons are switched from previous versions, and not as intuitive the way they are....

Still looking for answers, but thought i'd give more information...

TIA,

Tim

another update:

If i turn off SEF URLs, I get the the same behavior as i do when i go to the menu item (was gallery2.html, but with SEF off, no longer there)... that is, the image displays but the first thumbnail you click on, you get "the gallery is not published" above the image, the number depends on which image you click on (the 4th image, it appears 4 times, etc...)...

please help me! i'm startnig to get frustrated...

I need SEF on, as it makes it easy to point people to pages easily... (as in these forums...)

thanks!

bump

and if we can't get this fixed, is there a place I can get an older version of Phoca?

It's easy to use, and I like it... when I can get it to work...

Hi, SEF is normally supported, see:
https://www.phoca.cz/demo/modal-box

Is the menu link properly created?

Try to see:

I'm pretty sure the menu link is set up properly... like i said, i copied the steps i took on a previous website that IS working...

It's set up as type "Phoca Gallery Category Layout"

Published: Yes
Access Level: Public

and the category is selected under "Parameters Basic"

Am I missing something?

unfortunately none of the FAQ are relevant to the issue i'm having, and the Missing Menu Link Type article does not apply, as the menu link type is there...

Thanks for the help...

Update:

uninstalled component and plugin, deleted images/phocagallery folder

re-installed component
re-installed plugin
enabled plugin

created category
uploaded images - created thumbnails

created menu item "Phoca Gallery Category Layout" and selected the category

result:

http://vt.tbare.com/gallery.html

Notice:
first link URI:
http://vt.tbare.com/phoca-gallery/1-phoca-gallery/detail/1-madisanta.html?tmpl=component&detail=0&buttons=1

second link URI:
http://vt.tbare.com/component/phocagallery/1-phoca-gallery/detail/2-santahug.html?tmpl=component&detail=0&buttons=1

Notice the 'component/phocagallery' instead of 'phoca-gallery' as the link....

what gives?

EDIT: upon trying to get it to work, it's completely broken again...

Hi, yes the second link is not correctly created - seems like it doesn't get right information about Itemid and will not use itemid. Then the 404 is displayed. I am testing it on my test sites but get no such problem, so still no idea why this is created this way

[tbare]

If it helps, I just did set up a brand new joomla site (version 1.5.15 Stable)

installed the phoca gallery components and plugin only and have the same issue

http://test1.tbare.com

although, the buttons are in the right spots on the fresh install....

i dunno...

[Jan]

Hi, I see, the link is not correctly created in the basic, you should check your .htaccess and your SEF in your Joomla! Maybe try to disable the .html from the core SEF too.
