Gallery2 G2Image installation issues

This was very useful for me to figure out. I was able to follow the step as outlined and get G2Image to work right away with Drupal 6.10

Again, thanks for the efforts.

Mike

This worked for me. Thx for that.

1) Upload g2image to /MYDRUPALFOLDER/sites/all/modules/wysiwyg/tinymce/

2) Edit /MYDRUPALFOLDER/sites/all/modules/wysiwyg/editors/tinymce.inc. This is where the TinyMCE plugin documentation says to 'add the plugin name in the "plugins" comma separated line.'

Within the wysiwyg_tinymce_plugins function, I placed the following code in the $plugins array.
'g2image' => array(
'path' => $editor['library path'] .'/plugins/g2image',
'buttons' => array('g2image' => t('G2 Image')),
'url' => 'http://g2image.steffensenfamily.com/',
'internal' => TRUE,
'load' => TRUE,
),

3) After (2), the G2Image button didn't appear in the TinyMCE menu yet, so I added it manually. In the WYSIWYG module settings (http://MYDRUPALSITE/admin/settings/wysiwyg/profile), I edited the settings in the Full HTML profile. In the Buttons and plugins menu, check the box for G2Image.

3b) After this process I had access to G2Image in my TinyMCE menu. However, by selecting G2Image in the WYSIWYG module settings, only the G2Image button was available in TinyMCE; apparently when you select your own settings, the TinyMCE menu replaces the default buttons with only the buttons you have selected. So I went back to the Buttons and plugins menu and selected all of the other settings I wanted: bold, italics, links, etc.

guys thanks for detailed instruction.

I followed the above. however my G2 image chooser button does not appear as Yet

I have installed both modules WYSIWYG and CK editor becuase it says the old TinyMCE no longer exist being replaced by the two above.

Gallery2 has been embedded ok .
However I need to add the button to add Photos of the album into the pages/nodes in drupal or ubercart products.

tiny MCE 3.4.7 has been installed correctly into library folder.
see below also :
G2Image requires the Gallery2 Image Block plugin (activated) and the G2Image application (activated) to be installed.

So please if anyone can propose something where I might be wrong.

thanks

I'm in trouble with the integration of g2image chooser

particularly I've followed instruction installing gallery2 and embedding g2 image chooser. however I had to upload several libraries and modules

particularly as below
1. .../sites/all/modules/wysiwyg/plugins/g2image ---> config1.php
2. .../sites/all/modules/gallery/gallery_g2image/g2image ---> config2.php
3. .../sites/all/libraries/tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/g2image --->
config3.php
4. ../gallery2 ---> config4.php

where I see config2.php = config3.php looks automatically updated and config1.php different by config4.php

config1.php is different and I guess the WRONG setup of this file might cause that when I CLICK on g2 button Icon I have :

Fatal Gallery2 Error: Cannot activate the Gallery2 Embedded functions.
For WordPress users, Validate WPG2 in the Options Admin panel.
For other platforms, please verify your Gallery2 path in config.php.

MY QUESTION IS : which configX.php? I have four of them.

However looking at the error page on g2 click I see following path

http://mydomain/drupal/sites/all/libraries/tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/plu...

so I do not know which one has to be updated with the reccomendation at the following link

http://g2image.steffensenfamily.com/index.php?title=Embedded_Configuration

if you can advise
thanks

The G2Image part of Gallery is actually it's own module.

You want to actually put the g2image plugin folder (the one you placed in the sites/all/libraries/tiny_mce/plugins into the gallery_g2image folder located INSIDE the Gallery Module folder.

So you should have a directory like www/sites/all/modules/gallery/gallery_g2image/g2image

This will open up a new set of configuration options in your gallery administration page at admin/settings/gallery/g2image
BUT you will still get an error. But if you choose to use g2Image with Tinymce and save your options....you will still get the error "G2Image does not seem to be installed for TinyMCE mode in the required directory (/sites/all/modules/wysiwyg/tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/g2image), or the directory is not writable. Please see the INSTALL.txt for instructions."

To fix this, you have to tell the g2image part of the Gallery module not to look at the OLD location for editor plugins for WYSIWYG...but to look in sites/all/libraries/tinymce

Open up the gallery_g2image_settings.inc file (located at sites/all/modules/gallery/gallery_g2image ) and on line 207 to 210 make the following TWO changes:

1. THE FIRST part is that it's checking for the path to the plugins folder based on the the relative location of the wysiwyg module directory with the "drupal_get_path" function.

} else if (module_exists('wysiwyg')) {
  $path = drupal_get_path('module', 'wysiwyg');
  }
 $path .= '/tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/g2image';

So just get rid of that all together and change it to this:

 } else if (module_exists('wysiwyg')); 
      $path .= 'sites/all/libraries/tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/g2image';

...and yes...leave off the beginning slash.

2. THE SECOND part is down around line 327 where it's calling the same function.
Just comment out the line looking for the wysiwyg location.
$path = drupal_get_path('module', 'wysiwyg'); like so // $path = drupal_get_path('module', 'wysiwyg');

and change the next line from this:
$path .= '/tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/g2image';

To the correct path

$path .= 'sites/all/libraries/tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/g2image';

This seems to be working for me....what really needs to happen is to add in a wee bit more code to scan for BOTH directories for the g2image folder....but I didn't have time for all that.

Have you checked out the permissions on your albums? I recall them being an issue when I started with the G2 button. I am not sure which ones but I think the G2 button needs certain permissions on the albums to work.
