Topic: Clone of Gallery plugin

[Hendrik]

Hello,

we made a clone of the gallery-plugin (named it "features-plugin") and installed it parallel to the gallery-plugin. Both show the images well.

BUT: everything we are changing in the gallery-plugin configuration is also changed in the features-plugin. When we change something in the features-plugin configuration, nothing is saved.

That means, that there is a "contact" between gallery- and features-plugin and we don´t know what we have to change, that BOTH plugins are completely independent of each other.

Is here someone, who knows about this problem and can show us the solution?

Thanks in advance

Hendrik

Hi Hendrik,

I assume, that you want to install the gallery clone in the original SOBI. The normal cloning procedure creates only a gallery clone for a SOBI2 clone.
If you want to have a second instance of a gallery in the original SOBI2 you have to do some more and some other changes. Check the XML file and you will see.

E.g. this line: <query>INSERT IGNORE INTO `#__sobi2b_config` VALUES ('countInListing', '1', 'sobi_gallery_b', NULL);</query>

It inserts the config key "countInListing" into the config table of a SOBI2 clone "#__sobi2b_config"

If you change the line to <query>INSERT IGNORE INTO `#__sobi2_config` VALUES ('countInListing', '1', 'sobi_gallery_b', NULL);</query>
to use the original SOBI2 tables the key "countInListing" would be used for the original gallery and the cloned gallery. So you have to change the key name to "countInListing_b". But you have to do that not only in the XML file but also in the code where the key is used.

But thats post is for "global" clone: Sobi and plugin, not for clone gallery for oryginal sobi, and that is whot i need.
Gallery, Gallery2, Gallery3 with self tag in template to one sobi2 installation.

Or meybe change <?php echo $plugins["gallery"]; ?> to show like this:

<?php echo $plugins["gallery1-5"]; ?>    for 1-5 images from gallery
<?php echo $plugins["gallery6-10"]; ?>   for 6-10 images from gallery
<?php echo $plugins["gallery11-15"]; ?> for 11-15 images from gallery

From one gallery, couse i need show on left side details view 5 icons vertical, on right 5 icons vaertical, 5 icons on bottom position horizontal.

Hi
 has anything changed since the last posts? I am trying to get a second instance of gallery in a sobi2 clone. It works well BUt I am having the same problem as the first post mentioned here. ie changing features in the config doesn't update properly.

Hello,
      i am also trying for a second instance of gallery in the main sobi2 component (not a clone). Are there any instructions on how to do that?

Issues come up when you launch the two in different IFrames and Multiple instances of JavaScripts running.

Confirmed. Worse yet, the install queries conflict. Removed prior posting with install file.
I can see how to deal with this issue but it's a lot of work.

I spent 2 weeks re-writing the sucker,
- Setup all of the scripting to use the Joomla API
- Each Instance runs in a Tab
- You can have multiple Galleries all with different settings

Plan is to expand it further, but the project is further down the list.
