I've noticed 2 major faults after installing JW Simple Image Gallery 1.2.1 into Joomla 1.5.15 which cause this extension to not work.

• 1. File name conflict: jw_sig.php AND jwsig.php
• 2. Gallery root folder conflict:  /media/k2/galleries/ AND /images/stories/

File Name Conflict.
The core files of K2 are expecting this plugin to have the file name jw_sig.php.  However the plugin installs as jwsig.php.  Therefore, even though Joomla says it is, K2 thinks it's not installed because it can't find jw_sig.php.  Edit the following K2 files.

FILE
administrator\components\com_k2\models\item.php
CHANGE jw_sig TO jwsig


FILE
administrator\components\com_k2\views\info\tmpl\default.php
CHANGE jw_sig TO jwsig


FILE
administrator\components\com_k2\views\item\view.html.php
CHANGE jw_sig TO jwsig


FILE
components\com_k2\views\item\view.html.php
CHANGE jw_sig TO jwsig


Gallery root folder conflict:
When you try to upload a zip file for your gallery in a K2 item the upload actually worked but the gallery won't show up.  The plugin is looking for the gallery images in images/stories however K2 is uploading them into media/k2/galleries.  Simply edit two plugin files to reflect the media/k2/galleries path.


FILE
plugins\content\plugin_jw_sig\showthumbs.php
CHANGE images/stories/ TO media/k2/galleries/


FILE
plugins\content\jwsig.php
CHANGE images/stories/ TO media/k2/galleries/


NOTE:
Incidentally I've noticed some have posted that they have little white boxes for thumbnails.  This means that your showthumb.php file has the correct path on line 15 but the jwsig.php file doesn't have the same correct path on line 50.  Both have to be the same path.

I did exactly what you said and k2 show the gallery but it still looking for image at image/stories folder i don't understand could you help me please ?

hello to all.

Please help, I need to report to the client soon about which component to use for the next joomla site and I do want to suggest yours.. but must be working!!

I have simple image free version.
stands alone, no editing, it does not display any image in the frontend.
I see {gallery}food{/gallery} text (using default folders in joomla images/stories/)

Then I installed the K2 (looks great) but I cannot use the image galleries any how.

I made the modification according to this forum ( forum.joomlaworks.net/index.php?action=post;topic=10546.0;num_replies=1 )
AND community.getk2.org/forum/topics/k2-works-with-simple-image?xg_source=activity

no results.

tried amended k2 component and plugin, no result.

Also, no zip files is opened in media/k2/galleries.

I don't know how to use them...

Please could you fix all the bug mentioned in the forum concerning the simple image free èplugin, in order to work with the K2, and make a new release, once for all?

ALso please note I have not found these lines:

FILE
administrator\components\com_k2\views\item\view.html.php
Code:
CHANGE jw_sig TO jwsig


FILE
components\com_k2\views\item\view.html.php
