Photo Gallery

[hareslade]

Gallery 2 does work with 1.3.0 zencart, I put a modded version of what a guy did for 1.2xx, up in a post on gallery2 forum.

But I wouldn't use it now myself, its just too bloomin time consuming to upgrade again for 1.3.5!. And it wants oodles of memory to install and run.

I did a Singapore gallery integration for zc as well, thats not updated for 1.3.5 yet and the way things are going, it might not get done.. that was a complex add on too..

What I do have in mind more and more, is to use the 'column' layout that Dr Byte updated recently, convert moku's book product or the music one, to make the product listing look like a gallery. The categories would become the galleries and subgalleries.

(so far I have moku's books add-on showing in grid form, the book pics would pass for a gallery, and its dead easy to turn off the right hand column just for the pseudo-gallery :)

This would be a much more easy process (I know!) than integrating 'foreign' galleries by 'include' - galleries which can change their version code, at the same time with zencart also changing rapidly, its a minefield to update.

So... all I need is the product list column display, and some extra css to make it look gallery-ish, and removal of most of the associated product text, so one just sees pictures

--and need to make that new 'gallery' product type for zc.

This removes the awful prob of having to create/insert a 'parallel' product manually for each 'foreign' gallery pic, to match it.

Excellent plan!

Hi guys new user hareslade could you share your work so far? could anyone of you enlighten me on where to head first if my concern is on integrating a photo gallery with zen cart. Kindly lead me to moku's add on and the Dr Byte's update. I'm quite overwhelmed now sorry

I use the document product type with imagehandler2 and lightbox... works well for me as it has for several years.

Moi,

I was looking for the same ... something very simple, just to dump directory of photos, and let the zencart users view those.
I found this http://scry.org/

1. Downloaded and extracted the scry package to temp directory
2. Renamed index.php to scry.php
3. Added require('includes/application_top.php'); in the beginning of scry.php
4. Dumped all files to zencart root directory
5. Configured setup.php, 4 parameters and index.php -> scry.php
6. Browsed to zencart/scry.php
7. Added the internal link to zencart/admin EZ-Pages to scry.php
8. It works.
