GalleryBlock presumes url-rewrite even if it is disabled for the site. Is there a known mod? (i searched the forums but nothing relevant turned up yet.)

My host is being finicky about allowing .htaccess override to set up rewrite for the Gallery - of course this thread would be redundant if they came through.

Thanks folks,

Ajay

GalleryBlock actually gets the URLs directly from gallery using the makeGalleryUrl() function. So if your gallery is set up to use rewriting, then the URLs in the GalleryBlock will too.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Andy,

I will look into this... Somehow the gallery configuration process does not detect url_rewrite or .htaccess override. Of course in such a case, I may have to start posting to the Gallery forums instead of here.

Cheers!

I checked my Gallery config.php - rewrite is disabled there (although mod_rewrite is enabled on the apache server) - still have the issue described in first post.

Any ideas folks?

Ajay

Edit: If it helps, the links in the Gallery Random Photo Block work just fine (ie: they are not rewritten).

OK. I can't look at this right away [I have two little nephews running around here wreaking havoc and aking "What's that?" about everything]. I'll be able to look at it this evening [Sunday] or tomorrow.

Solution: In blocks/galleryblock/phpblock.php, change lines 87 and 132 from this:



to this:



Reason It seems that makeGalleryUrl() from gallery's util.php does not respect the rewrite preference.

I will have a new release to fix this sometime in the next couple of days.

Thanks that works!
