Hi Erik,

Thanks for the the tutorial! I will add it to the project page.
I like the idea of the small modules, can you create a new issue for that? So we can keep it all separate. :)

Changed the first paragraph a little for better explanation why I wrote this post.

Hi, I'm using this module with Google+ photo. Is it correct that I can see only the first 30 images of the album?

Hello, thank you for all the work you do so weekend warriors like me can put some puzzles together for our friends.

I have been trying to get +gallery to work, my problem is I don't know where to install the module and required components. I have read many tutorials and instructions and could find any the actually say " install here." Could you expand a little about where each of the components should be installed?

Thanks again

Hi all,

@mkumot In album mode you can define the amount of images, below de ID field. (inside the collapsible fieldset). For gallery mode you have to download the new version (0.9.5) of the JS library, I've increased the default limit to 999. (Should be more than enough imo) Don't forget to clear your cache! Flickr remains limited to 30 images.
@jpcrazy As stated in the README.txt file:

Go to http://plusgallery.net and download the latest version. Then uncompress the downloaded file to sites/all/libraries, and rename the folder so you get the following path sites/all/libraries/plusgallery.

@pkgarg55 Please create a seperate issue and in that new issue, try to give a bit more details. Like where are you getting the tokens, etc... ;)

Greetings,
Seppe

Kudos to Eric for this. It would be helpful to have this in the readme file too.

One nit: In step 6 it says:

"6. After saving the fields, go into the view settings of the content type, and for the "Album cover images" field choose "Plus Gallery" for the field format (don't choose lightbox)."

I had to puzzle about this for a while. On my system the so-called view settings of the content type are seen when you go to administration / structure / content types /Gallery View where Gallery View is the new content type you've created. You see the view settings when you click on "Manage Display" and the Plus Gallery setting is shown in the Format column. So, if I am interpreting correctly the field type is "image" but the format is Plus Gallery.

Hi fkelly,

You are interpreting it correctly, but there is also a second option. So option 1 is having a field of the image type and the format set to Plus Gallery. Option 2 is a having a field of the Plus Gallery type and the format set to Plus Gallery.

The Plus Gallery field allows you to use online albums from Google+, Facebook, ... The image field allows you to upload images directly to your website and using Plus Gallery to display them in the same way that would be used for the online albums. This way you get consistent looks and interactions.

A link to the example has been added to the README.txt file.

I am trying to get this module to work on my website, but I do not fully understand everything...
So there are three possibilities, if I get it right:

  1. make a remote (eg on G+ or fb) gallery overview, so users can view & browse all albums of these remote locations
  2. make a remote (eg G+ or fb) album view, so users can view & browse one single album on a remote location
  3. make a local album view, so editors can upload photos directly to the website and display those. This works using an image field & image widget, but the +gallery format, to keep uniform styling over the website

So the most basic setup for a gallery/album page would be obtained by only creating the first field of both parts of this tutorial? (called "Google Plus Data" and "Google plus album", respectively)

I followed all the steps of the guide several times, but when I create a new item using these content types, entering the user/album id, nothing is displayed, not even an error message. Any idea what might cause this?

Thanks beforehand!

hello, where can I see the tutorial?
I need "step by step" tutorial using google.
Is the tutorial already deleted?
I can't find it in this page.
Thank you

Apparently the tutorial has been removed, so here it is again:

  1. Install the Plus Gallery module and required components.
  2. Create a content type "Gallery overview".
  3. Add 2 fields to the "Gallery overview" content type, namely: "Google Plus Data" and "Album cover images".
  4. For the "Google Plus Data" field, choose "Plus Gallery" for both the field type and the widget. Then in the settings of the field, set the "Gallery mode" option to "Gallery overview". If you like, you can add the user ID of a google+ account as well.
  5. For the "Album cover images" field, choose "image" for both the field type and widget. Then, in the settings, choose "Unlimited" as the number of values.
  6. After saving the fields, go into the view settings of the content type, and for the "Album cover images" field choose "Plus Gallery" for the field format (don't choose lightbox).
  7. Create a content type "Album view".
  8. Again, add two fields to the content type, namely "Google Plus Album" and "Album images".
  9. For the first field, choose "Plus Gallery" for both the field type and widget. In the settings, choose "Album mode" for the Gallery mode option this time.
  10. For the second field, use the same settings as you dit for the "Album cover images". Also remember to configure the view settings of the content type correctly!
  11. Create a node for one of the two content types.

The "Gallery overview" content type will give you a node that shows a list of (public) albums in your Google+ account. Each of the albums is clickable, and this content type thus works as a full-functioning photo album.

The "Album view" content type will only show the images of the corresponding Google+ album.

For the user-ID and the album-ID, you can use the numeric values found in the URL on your Google+ gallery or for a specific album.

I hope this will somehow help you a little using this great module!

I struggled over this for awhile, but finally got it to work. I had put the plusgallery library in sites/all/libraries/plusgallery, but was still not able to get it to work.

There is a simple step that I did not see documented anywhere that made it work for me. I needed to copy the two js files in sites/all/libraries/plusgallery/js to sites/all/libraries/plusgallery. BOOM, then everything worked.

Thanks for the module.

I have trouble to get this to work.
1. Should the +gallery be plast in all/module or in all/libraries?
2. In the tutorial in step 5 it says to change number of images to unlimited. I cant find where.
3. How do I actually create and use the content type?

I would like to create one album that collects all pictures from Facebook and then create several albums and upload them directly to the site.

Please help. I'm a newbe.
