Hi guys,

I'm having an issue with linking my gallery to my site.  I am wondering is it because my Flickr username (as I sign in with Facebook) has an @ in the username.

I've checked the API and that all appears to be fine.  I'm running on Joomla 2.5.1 and only downloaded IGP today so am running the latest version there.

The image set is - www.flickr.com/photos/49180466@N05/sets/72157629232355959/

As you can see, there is an @ in the middle of my username!

Any thoughts?

Thanks

Sarah

Could you provide us with a link to your gallery page?

Hi Katia,

Thanks for the reply - the page I'm testing this on is:

www.ladiesofthesquaredcircle.com/information/about-us/item/75-hannah-harmstone.html

Tis be a work in progress :)

The gallery template displays OK, however the images do not show.  I've tried placing this directly in to the article with the {gallery} quotes, and also in this method (the Image Gallery tab in K2) with the same result.

If you need admin access, please let me know.

Thanks

:)

Make sure that your images names are not including special characters like %, dashes, caps letters etc. If so rename them please.

Hi,

Can confirm that none of the images in the Flickr Gallery have capitals or _ etc

When I try to link to the gallery via the {gallery} tags within the server, I get a 500 internal server error.  I can save and add additional text to the article, but as soon as I put the tags in, I get a 500 server error.

When I link to the wrong path, I get a JFolder error "There was a problem rendering your image gallery. Please make sure that the folder you are using in the Simple Image Gallery PRO plugin tags exists and contains valid image files." - which I expected.

Thanks

Check your source code please cause all your gallery links are like this:
href="www.flickr.com...
which means that is impossible to work ok with " in front of the url.

Hi,

I'm not hard coding this in, I'm just putting it in as an link when editing via K2, under the Image Gallery tab.

For the rest of my article, I was using the JCE editor - could/should this be the issue?

I've tried switching to editor "none" and am now getting:

"There was a problem rendering your image gallery. Please make sure that the folder you are using in the Simple Image Gallery Pro plugin tags exists and contains valid image files. The plugin could not locate the folder:"

So I assume this is more permissions related regarding my cache folder - if you could confirm what this should be set to, so I can confirm this, that would be great.

Thanks

EDIT - Just to add I can also confirm that my cache folder and the jw_sigpro folder are set to 777 in terms of permissions, and safe mode is set to OFF for the site.  API from Flickr is set (checked it and checked it again to be sure).

What exactly you add in the K2 item gallery tag ? Give me an example please...

Hi,

I've attached 2 screens - gallery.jpg shows what is being entered in my K2 article Image Gallery section.

basic.jpg shows the config of the plugin.

Full API as copied from the config page is - f0d6703b10c8ef2d10b529b59dd1a1f5 which matches Flickr

I then tried to change my name so its a permalink.  This eliminates the issue of the @ sign which I thought was breaking things.  Changed the Flickr link to www.flickr.com/photos/barramya/6841896195/in/set-72157629232355959/.  As soon as I saved this I was presented with the error:

There was a problem rendering your image gallery. Please make sure that the folder you are using in the Simple Image Gallery Pro plugin tags exists and contains valid image files. The plugin could not locate the folder:

although it is trying to render from Flickr and not my local gallery.  If you surf to the page you also see this error on the page.

Thanks

PS - I have also tried - www.flickr.com/photos/barramya/sets/72157629232355959/ as a link.  Gallery tags show on the page, but not the pictures.

Pm me access to your super admin please.
