[Solved] No images displaying on frontend was created by coleus

I've installed SIGP and added the Flickr API. In K2, the gallery thumbnails only show up in administration, but not on the frontend. Please tell me how to rectify this problem.

I have sent my details to Katia. However, I would imagine that due to the amount of people suffering this issue, she has not got back to me yet. I have decided to "hack" around this issue to see where the problem lies.

Realising that the image galleries WERE being bought in from flickr (visible in the back-end) I realised that this is a database call issue. I have played with EVERY setting imaginable within K2 and nothing shows. I have accessed my db through phpmyadmin (HeidiSQL interface) and all the values are sitting there correctly. So, I simply added the

{gallery}...{/gallery}

into the full-text of the item and....the gallery displays. The issue here is with the call to the database. Sadly I am falling short here. All my read-throughs are showing that the calls are correct. However I am noting that from the beginning of the rendering this is not showing as being called. Even though I have ALL the settings on I am NOT seeing an anchor link being rendered into my page.

My knowledge of K2 calls runs out here. Katia, I think this is the problem. Potentially a K2 issue, but one that is in your best interest to get a grip on. Your SIGPro is working fine, but the calls to the db to get the image galleries back is doing nothing. Over to you. I suspect this is going to be as simple as you providing us with a "replace this code with this code" answer then pinging your results over to the K2 dev team for 2.5.7 (I will not touch 2.5.6 with a barge-pole after it chewed up 2 of my sites and produce memory limit errors on one of the finest servers I have ever known).

Looking forward to this resolution.

I am hacking away. Could somebody else PLEASE join me :)

OK. I have found the culprit code, but I am now hacking to get it to work.

Go to:
components\com_k2\models\item.php --> line 391 (ish)

//Gallery
		if(
		($view=='item' && $item->params->get('itemImageGallery')) ||
		($view=='itemlist' && ($task=='' || $task=='category') && $item->params->get('catItemImageGallery')) ||
		($view=='relatedByTag')
		)
		{
			if($item->gallery) {
				if(JString::strpos($item->gallery, 'flickr.com') === false) {
					$item->gallery = "{gallery}{$item->id}{/gallery}";
				}
				if(JFolder::exists(JPATH_SITE.DS.'media'.DS.'k2'.DS.'galleries'.DS.$item->id)){
					$params->set('galleries_rootfolder', 'media/k2/galleries');
					$item->text = $item->gallery;
					$dispatcher->trigger ( 'onPrepareContent', array (&$item, &$params, $limitstart ) );
					$item->gallery = $item->text;
				}
				else {
					$item->gallery = null;
				}
			}
		}

is the naughty code. I replaced the

else {
$item->gallery = null;
}

statement with

else {
$item->gallery = "{$item->gallery}";
}

and managed to see the correct

{gallery}..URL...{/gallery}

call being rendered, but the plug-in didn't want to react. When the same code was placed in the full text section of the page the plug-in was invoked.

From this we can assume the following:

The first if statement is NOT being triggered....why?
My php coding is RUBBISH :)

So, a bit closer, but I am not the person to solve this....oh how I wish I was. Somehow I feel that our best hope lies with a person FAR better than I....Katia, wake up :)

p.s. I work at GMT + 7 so I am well ahead of most people on this forum :)

Did anyone come up with a solution to this problem? I also suffer from it. In every other aspect, thanks for a great product.

I'm having the exact same issues as those listed above, even recreated the same issues as Draftvader. Using flickr, nothing shows on the frontend of the website, but I can see the in the Administrator section of the site. Waiting on pins and needles for the answer here :)

K2 2.5.7 released

2nd item on the release notes:

We have fixed a nasty bug where Flickr galleries set via Simple Image Gallery Pro where not displaying the frontend of your site, but had no problem rendering in the backend! I know, some of you almost got insane with this stupid bug. All sorted now of course.

Haven't had time to test personally, but I can see that Katia dropped the fixes into my demo site and it has fixed the problem, so all is good.
