How about the first part of the questions regarding the blocks? Any chance of a random image or new galleries?

This mayby a stupid question! I am running geeklog 1.3.6 so can i use 4images Integration??

I finally Geeked my site and used 4images for the gallery.
http://www.linford.net

I have gone through the integration install/patch/hack... 4 times now with the same result. When exicuting the gluser_migrate.php from my browser i get the following message..

"Adding your Geeklog user: Anonymous to the 4images user table.
1062: Duplicate entry '1' for key 1"

.... The users from both 4images and geeklog are not being updated. Also i am unable to log into 4images/admin after the integration. i have double checked and followed the README to the letter to no avail. any ideas? any help would be greatly appreciated Thanx,
Jughead

You will need to delete all the user records in the 4images_users table. There must have been a duplicate name. Running the gluser_migrate program will then repopulate all the geeklog users to the 4images_users table.

Note: You will need to manually edit the userlevel to '9' for atleast one user to get the 4images control panel - the 4images_users table.

Thanx Blaine,
The migration worked good, however I am unable to log into 4images thru geeklog If I use the default template that came with 4images I am able to log into 4images, but still unable to access the 4images control pannel. Using the default template from the integration.ZIP when I log into geeklog it does not log me into 4images. The page is http://www.theleprechaun.net/geeklog/public_html/4images Also on the admin login page for 4images, when logging in there it returns the login page as if I submited the wrong username or password (which is not the case) I have seen what can be done with geeklog and 4images and am very impressed, I can't wait to have a site of that quality. Thanx for your contributions to geeklog they have made the internet fun again!
Thanx again,
Jughead

I think yes, I'm running 4images even with GL 1.3.5.

Tested with an intention to switch from Gallery. Impressed with a lot of settings. But, Gallery is better for me for the following reasons.

- Picture quality is much better with Gallery. And they are uniform.
- Gallery provide the original size when you click on the big picture. So your friend can download the best quality picture. With 4images, after you resize the image, not only the quality is heavily reduced, the original picture is gone.
- With gallery you can upload images 5 or more at a time. With 4images you can load only one at a time, plus it doesn't let you go if you don't name it.
- With Gallery you have a slide show. Not a big deal, but nice. With 4images, you have to hack it.

It's a hard dicision, but quality and ease of use is more important for me than the features. So I vote for Gallery.

I followed the instructions, and the user migration worked fine. When I try to access either the main page or the admin page, they are blank. I was using Geeklog 1.36 and just today started over and installed 1.37 sr1. Then reinstalled 4images, everything working fine without the integration. Go thru the integration again and the same thing. Just blank pages. Dunno what I am doing wrong? Any help would be appreciated.

I found my problem. I did not set the path in sessions.php to lib-common.php

I\'m still searching for a migration skript, that allows to migrate the users from geeklog to 4images AND the users from 4images to geeklog.

The Problem is, that i have both: a running geeklog site with users and a 4images gallery with different users. And I want to combine both sites, and all users should be able to login once to use the whole site.

i don\'t know anything about php, thats the biggest problem

There is a script included in the Geeklog integration archive to create new 4image user records for every geeklog user. The other changes to the Geeklog files will then maintain the new 4images user records.

You have to manually edit the 4image users record if you want the user to have 4images admin rights.

You should remove all current 4images user records. So this is a way to go from Geeklog to 4images. I\'ve not written nor planning to write anything to go the other way. If you need this contact me offline.

Any chance of a random image block?

Hi!
I've installed GL and 4images and tried to integrate. I think it has worked but no i have a problem.
How can I add the "4images Gallery" to the menu?
Sorry, it's my firts time working with GL.
One more question: How to display the gallery in GL? I don't want it on a blank site, it should look like this site:http://www.cweb.ws

Sorry for my bad english!

EDIT: found a hack for 1.3.8 and it works perfect now

If you still need to add it to the menu, edit your header.thtml file in your theme folder and add the link manually using HTML.

Thx Turias!
One new problem:
New GL users are not in the 4images user table. Somebody new where I did a mistake in the integration?

I've got the integration working in many respects, except I'm seeing a strange error when processing new registration requests.

After one has entered a user ID and an email address and the request is submitted one is taken to http://www.kornkob.com/kobblog/users.php and all that is displayed is the error: An SQL error has occured. Please see error.log for details.

The error log text is as follows:
Sat Nov 27 15:25:33 2004 - 1146: Table 'databaseUID.4images_users' doesn't exist. SQL in question: UPDATE 4images_users SET user_email='testingintegrate AT kornkob.com',user_icq='',user_homepage='http://www.test.com' WHERE user_id=6
Sat Nov 27 15:26:42 2004 - 1146: Table 'databaseUID.4images_users' doesn't exist. SQL in question: INSERT INTO 4images_users (user_id,user_level,user_name,user_password,user_email,user_showemail,user_allowemails,user_invisible,user_joindate,user_activationkey,user_lastaction,user_location,user_lastvisit,user_comments,user_homepage,user_icq)
VALUES ('7','2','kobtest','','integrationtest at kornkob.com','1','1','0','2004-11-27 15:26:$S','','','','','','','')


Now, the email gets sent and the account is created for use.

Similar behaviors occur when a user attempts to update their account infromation. The changes save but the bland error comes up and error.log is updated in a similar fashion.

Thoughts? Help?

I have an established 4images site. Is there any way I can easily integrate geeklog into it?

I'm having very similar problems as kornkob. Was this fixed somewhere that I missed?
