Add a Gallery using Power CMS

Is there a way that you can add a gallery using power cms, as I want my clients to be able to add there own galleries without asking me to enter the code to the page thanks Alistair

Yes, this is possible.

See the Database Integration Update on the Power Gallery Download center page.

I Have had a look at that but dosent make much sense to me in my page I only have:

<div id="gallery">
<?php
$pg_id = '3';
$pg_theme = 'light';
include('/var/www/vhosts/canopiesuk.com/httpdocs/gallery/galleries/ribbon_lightbox/index.php');
?>
</div>

so don't see where I need to wrap the code in the help file. What I want the client to be able to do is create a new gallery and then copy the add to site code from power gallery go to there site admin in power cms and paste the code onto a page and the gallery be added.

Is this how it will work or am I missing something

In the power gallery Add to Site page, there is the section titled Add to Power Store, copy this code and paste it to the Power CMS Content area.

The wa_evaluate function will get wrapped around the echo of the Power CMS Developer notes.

for example, my developer notes will look like:

php:

<?php

include('/Applications/MAMP/htdocs/pcms_211/WA_CMS/addtosite.php');

echo WA_getCMSContent($database_PowerCMSConnection, $PowerCMSConnection, 'Content', 'Content Area', false);

?>

I would need to edit that to:

php:

<?php require_once('wa_evaluate.php'); ?>

<?php

include('/Applications/MAMP/htdocs/pcms_211/WA_CMS/addtosite.php');

echo wa_evaluate(WA_getCMSContent($database_PowerCMSConnection, $PowerCMSConnection, 'Content', 'Content Area', false));

?>

OK your add to site page is different to mine as when I click add to site the add to power store say add to power store 3 and the code is as below:

<input type="hidden" name="powergallery" id="1" theme="light" value="/var/www/vhosts/canopiesuk.com/httpdocs/gallery/galleries/ribbon_lightbox/index.php" />

see screen grab attached

Just too add I am using CMS V 1 not 2

4/19/2011 7:28 am | #6 Jason ByrnesWebAssist

Yes, that is the power gallery add to site code that you will past into the Power CMS Content Area.

The code example I give above is the Power CMS Developer notes code.

It is the Power CMS developer notes code that needs to be modified with the wa_evaluate function.

Not the Power Gallery Add to Site Code.

The user will only need to create the gallery, then copy the Power Store Add to Site Code into the Power Gallery content artea, they do not need to modify anything.

You as the developer, need to modify the Power CMS deleper notes code that will display the Power CMS Content area in the web site to use the wa_evaluate function.

<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
<title>Gallery Test</title>
</head>

<body>
<div style="width:1024px; height:200px; border:1px #666 solid; margin: 20px 0 0 20px; padding:20px;">
<?php require_once('wa_evaluate.php'); ?>
<?php

please send a screen shot showing what you entered for the gallery test->test content area.

make sure you adding the power store add to site code, and that you click the source button in the toolbar before pasting the code.
