After installing the GL_Gallery2 plugin I am confronted with the same problem.
Gallery2 stand-alone works fine, Gallery2 embedded in Geeklog also seems to function properly, except for the fact that no image are shown.
All I see are broken image icons. Not only for the images in my albums, also for the Gallery2 logo and the other images in Gallery2 itself. Can someone help?

I have the same problem. Install went fine, but no images. Empty boxes.
I followed Gallery2 recommendation to store data outside of webtree, is this the prob? C:g2data is where the images are. Gallery2 works fine independently. Anybody with an idea? Thanks in advance.

Which Gallery version are you using? Looks like you are using a windows server, apache or IIS?

here[*1] .
GL_Gallery2 0.5.0 only works with Gallery 2.0.x or lower.
I have a version that works with Gallery 2.1.
Let me know if you are interested. I need some testers.

Hey there,
Righto, windows, apache. I fixed it. The only thoing that seemed to work is changing the way my slashes hang. the relative path had to be unix format /../yadayada and direct g2 path had to be C:backslash...backslash...backslashetc. Very interesting.
Now I'm having a problem locking everything down. I changed permissions on Gallery2 to make everyone sign-in so that the site is not just hanging open and when I did that my geeklog site is redirected to http://my.site.net/gallery2/usr.php and of course a 404 error shows saying it is not available. No matter how I came in the webroot index.php was sending to webroot/gallery2/users.php
Well I have the G2 site hanging open again just to keep my geeklog site accessible.
I've played with the permissions and have reached my limit. I don't know where to go from here. Any help? Thanks in advance.
Why doesn't the forum allow backslash ? oh well.

I had a similar issue with Gallery 2.0.3 and GL_Gallery2 0.5.0 running under Apache and Linux. After installing GL_Gallery2 I could do everything in Gallery except see photos.
I found that my relative path was incorrect in the config.php for GL_Gallery2. My setup is as follows:
Gallery2 is at "/var/www/gallery"
The Geeklog public_html is at "/var/www/html"
GL_Gallery2 is at "/var/www/html/GL_Gallery2".
Based on this I entered a path of "../../gallery" for the relative path configuration.
After quite a bit of uninstalling/reinstalling/reading, I found that the relative path is based on a
brower's relative path or a
web relative path - not a OS level relative path.
I have an
alias set up in the apache config so that the gallery pages can be accessed directly via http://www.mydomain.com/gallery.
Changing my path to "../gallery" for my relative path fixed my issue.
To hopefully further clear up:
- When you access http://www.mydomain.com you are accessing the document root of the web server... or "./" in relative terms.
- When accessing GL_Gallery2 pages I am accessing http://www.mydomain.com/GL_Gallery2. Or ./GL_Gallery2 in relative terms from the document root.
- When accessing the gallery I am, via the Alias, accessing http://www.mydomain.com/gallery... or ./gallery in relative terms from the document root.
From this, the relative
browser/web path from http://www.mydomain.com/GL_Gallery2 to http://www.mydomain.com/gallery is ../gallery.
Since I have made the change to my config.php everything is working as expected!
Hope this helps.

The redirect problem is an easy fix. in path_to_geeklog/plugins/GL_Gallery2/functions.inc look for the init function somewhere around line 707 you will see a loginRedirect
it should read 'loginRedirect' => $_CONF['site_url'].'/users.php';
and the path thing, I hope to fix in the next release.
Cheers

As for squirrellydw I think you still have a path issue, or you have the url_rewrite module active and not setup properly.
Another possibility is that your user id did not get mapped properly during install. Its happened to me several times during testing.
If you login using another username do you see the images? do they link to the right place?
what version of GL_Gallery2 are you using?

Well, looking at your site (I was actually there the other day ) your paths should look something like this
$_GLG_CONF['G2_path'] = '/home/suprsidr/www/testbed/public_html/gallery2';
$_GLG_CONF['G2_relative_path'] = '../gallery2/';
if they do, we will try something else.

should read 'loginRedirect' => $_CONF['site_url'].'/users.php',
should end with comma not semi-colon
tiny but significant for those who don't write code.
Thanks, I'm giving it a try now.

The page isn't redirecting properly
Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.
* This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept
cookies.
This is the page I get when replacing the line of code as directed. Any thoughts?
I am taking away all rights from the 'Everybody' group in order to force log-in and restrict viewing permissions to select groups on my geeklog site.
As soon as I remove 'Everybody' group permissions and logout, then the redirect situation is a problem.

this is a problem we had on another site.
do your image blocks get rendered on users.php like in the left blocks?
Basically the page that gallery redirects to(users.php) is asking for permission to view a gallery object, and then redirecting again.

the random photo block does, apparently. I disabled the random photo block and all is well. Except of course random photo block doesn't work. First I tried to reset group to all users to see if it would keep from redirecting to users.php, but nope. Set it back to my 'family' group and disabled it altogether. Is there a way to get random photo to work after log-in. I didn't think this was an issue because I had the block set to a specific group and assumed the call for the object did not happen till log-in. I guess it needs to render on first call. Is this an order problem in the code? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks again suprsidr.

stolidus, you can set gallery2 to embed mode only in gallery2/config.php
look for line $gallery->setConfig('mode.embed.only', false);
and set to true.
Also remember in GL_Gallery2 config
// Allow anonymous users to see the random photo block
$_G2B_CONF['allow_anon_access_random_photo'] = true;
// Allow anonynmous users to access the gallery
$_G2B_CONF['allow_anon_access_gallery'] = true;
And you can stop albums from showing up in the random photoblock by editing the album in gallery.
Cheers.

Well, stepped back and went over evrything recommended. The embed mode was something I missed. I kept thinking that I needed to lock that gallery2 page down. That's not a prob anymore, sweet.
When I take away permission for everybody to view images then the anonymous user can not access my site because the random photo block is causing a redirect to the user file.
If I disable the random photo block, the problem goes away.
The random photo block is an important feature for a certaian group or groups, but the random photo block is set to only show up for those groups. ie 'family' 'friends'
I do not want Jo Schmo reg. usr to have access to pics of my kids and what not.
Well, I could just manually delete Jo Schmo from the Gallery2 usr file. I tried that even tho I could see it was no fix for the long term when new usrs would be signing up regularly, what a nightmare that would be. That is why we have group permissions, right?
When I delete Jo Schmo's Gallery2 account and leave his geeklog acct active, he 'Jo' still has the Gallery2 usr function available in the usr function block, and when Jo clicks that link he gets the following:
Reinit failed: Error (ERROR_MISSING_OBJECT) : Missing object for 22
* in C:wwwwebrootgallery2modulescoreclassesGalleryStorageDatabaseStorage.class at line 2121 (GalleryStatus::error)
* in C:wwwwebrootgallery2modulescoreclassesGalleryStorageDatabaseStorage.class at line 305 (DatabaseStorage::_identifyEntities)

* in C:wwwwebrootgallery2modulescoreclassesGalleryEmbed.class at line 94 (GalleryEmbed::checkActiveUser)
* in C:wwwgeeklog-1.4.0sr1pluginsGL_Gallery2functions.inc at line 711 (GalleryEmbed::init)
* in C:wwwwebrootGL_Gallery2index.php at line 67
In the above, Jo now has a map of files and easy access to evrything in those files.
I would like to be able to remove the Gallery 2 usr function from those usrs that have no business using it.
What I'm really after is to be able to set restrictive permissions on albums and still be able to use the random photo block for certain groups of registered users. So, the gallery would be open for use to the community, but users would not have to share thier personal photos with Jo Schmo who they don't know and/or trust. So, anyone in the group 'family' would see the random block containing pics they can relate to...and others would simply be able to acces thier own albums or those for which they have permission.
I guess I would just like users to be able to restrict access to thier albums and pics but still be able to allow or disallow a thumbnail image on the random photo block. In the process not affecting the ability for new or anonymous traffic to the site to be unaffected.
If anyone has read this far, sugesstions and/or help would be much appreciated. Thanks again.

Why don't you create some public galleries for anon to see.
And put all your other non-public albums into say a members album, and lock that down to registered users only.
Also in the block editor you could set the random image block to logged in only if you don't want anon to see it.
and don't forget the settings in GL_Gallery2's own config for anon users.
We have a similar system that you speak of at http://dev.neven57.com
Member albums are created on the fly, but they appear in the members album as sub-albums. Members have total control over their own albums. But since they are created under the members parent album, they have the default permissions of the parent album.
Hope this helps
Also, I have the code to generate a link to the current logged in users own gallery.

Thank you, Suprsidr. I really appreciate all the help. I found that users could only see the thumbs and I threw a watermark on those. So, only family and friends can get the resize and originals. That will work. The community will still be able to use the gallery service which is cool. Thanks again.
