thanks Konstantin.

I actually think my issue was due to the way I was creating the zip file or my filenames in the zip.

I've got the galleries working now!!


Konstantin Zhilin said:Hey Lownotes,
I was hopelessly trying to find a way to make SIG (free) to show up in K2 items, and after all decided to give the PRO version a try! And it works :) Here's my check-list:
- install SIG Pro plugin
- delete everything from /media/k2/galleries/ folder, to make sure you upload fresh galleries for every item

In plugin settings:
- set "Root folder for image galleries" to be: /media/k2/galleries/
- set "Popup engine for image galleries" to be anything except jQuery, as it kills K2 item editing and controls in some cases. You can change this at any time, so don't panic!

In Category settings:
- make sure you have "Show item image gallery" set to Yes for categories where you have items with galleries.

That should be it, Good luck!

I think I'm having the same problem. Are there any special file settings needed for creating the jpgs and zip files?

I guess there are no special requirements for compression settings, just file names... no spaces, no special symbols... :)

Solved my problem. I had zipped a folder along with images, which uploaded, but did not display since the gallery had an extra folder containing the images. For anyone else with gallery display issues, remember to zip the image files only when you create the zip file.

Thanks for the reply!

I had this same problem. When uploading to the gallery, the mime type is checked and it appears that it was checking the path for the mime type and not the name of the file. Anyway, this is what I did:

File: \administrator\components\com_k2\lib\class.upload.php
Line: ~2231
Change...
$this->file_src_mime = mime_content_type($this->file_src_pathname);
...to...
$this->file_src_mime = mime_content_type($this->file_src_name);

I installed it, enabled all related mods etc. But I still get weird little errors all over the place.

Can't upload images to the gallery jpgs give the following error...


* UNKNOWNARCHIVETYPE
* Gallery upload error: Cannot extract archive!

And if I upload a zip it seems to upload fine but the gallery does not display - instead I get this...

{gallery}2{/gallery}

Also i get these weird bullet points appearing all over the page... (see attached file)

Video seem to work and image upload works...
