Can't get Plugin to work

Post by carlymyman »

Hi -
I'm having no luck getting the plug-in to work. I was hoping someone might be able to point out a few possible reasons for this that I might be able to investigate further. I did read the documentation carefully and I followed the instruction to the best of my knowledge/ability.
I want to have my phoca gallery categories display inside an article. At the moment I have a phoca gallery on my site. I need to have it inside an article.
I downloaded the plug-in and installed it successfully. I activated it in the plug-in section. I placed the relevant code inside an article (I even switched off the editor in case that was a problem). Two things happen after doing so: one, the code shows up in my article or nothing shows up in my article.
I also created a menu link to the gallery.
I'm using Phoca Gallery v. 2.5.8 and Phoca Gallery Plugin 2.6.2.
(and Joomla 1.5.15)
Any advice would be appreciated.

Thank you.

Carl

Hi Carl,

my first hint: use the same versions both for the gallery and the plugin.

Ronny -
Thanks for the tip. It makes sense. Don't know why I didn't see that myself.
I updated the phoca gallery component to the latest version. That didn't work out so perfectly unfortunately. But I won't ask for guidance on that. I read the documentation on it and tried my best to follow the instructions. Wasn't aware of the potential trouble involved in upgrading...Must say, I might be scared off by the possible things that can go awry down the line, especially after having created a sizable database of images, categories etc for client's websites.
Anyway, thanks for the advice- pity I still don't know if it would've worked. Still, the tip to upgrade sounds like the way to go to have tried to sort out my problem with the plug-in.

Carl
