I've installed ROK Gallery per the instructions, but I've missed
something.
The gallery page is created, but the thumbmail previews are broken
links, and when you try to click on the thumbnail, it takes you to a
broken page. Here's the link: http://russdaniels.com/?s=gallery.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. It's a great gallery and I
would like to use it.
Thanks

Hi Russ
Have you followed these steps:

http://groups.google.com/group/pixie-cms/browse_thread/thread/ad757a2dd15fcda/fcc78433873d98eb?lnk=gst&q=ROK#fcc78433873d98eb

Might be to do with your issue. The thumbnails should "lightbox" to
larger images I believe.

Hi everybody,

Thank you for Pixie!

I tried to install ROK Gallery following this steps :
http://groups.google.com/group/pixie-cms/browse_thread/thread/ad757a2dd15fcda/fcc78433873d98eb?lnk=gst&q=ROK#fcc78433873d98eb
but the table is not created in my database after adding the module...
and, of course, nothing works on my site : http://www.fend.fr

What could be the problem?

In advance, thank you !
Cyrille.

I have looked at the link <http://beta.robert-kummer.de/files/other/
gallery_1.3.0.phps> and, though I may be mistaken, it seems to me that
there is no code within that file to actually create the tables you
require ...

Maybe someone else who has successfully gotten the gallery to work
could compare their module against the posted file?

Love your header graphic on the Chaotic Soul theme - that complements
the design very well.

Ok. This module is the cause of much un-happiness. As far as I know
this module does not create any MySQL tables. It indexes a folder that
contains your image files and turns that into a gallery. In that
respect it is a little bit odd. You can see an example of it working
here:

http://beta.robert-kummer.de/gallery

Unfortunately the module was written by Robert and he no longer
supports it. It is worth searching these forums as lots of people have
talked about it.

Hope that has been of some help.

Thank you rm and Scott for the help and for the compliment about the
Chaotic Soul Theme !

If there is no code, I guess I need to add the table myself, I'll
try ! If succeed I'll post my solution here.

Hi RussD,
You need to add the .htaccess from rok gallery to your site and then
enable clean urls for rok gallery to work.
Your site does not have clean urls enabled judging by that link you've
posted.

Thanks,
Tony

Tony,

I too am struggling with this. Where is the rok gallery from which I
can get the .htaccess file? Thanks.

Hi all,

Post number two, by Scott.
I have to admit that I've never used rok gallery but I do know it does
not work without clean urls.
Someone really needs to fork the code and provide a package which is
easier to install IMO.
Lot's of people experiencing problems installing it.

Hope this helps.

Thanks,
Tony

I think its time to remove the Rok gallery from the downloads
section...

any objections?

Hi Scott,
Not really. If Robert won't support it. Neither should we.

Thanks,
Tony
