Hi,
Please check again:
portal / block / additional_blocks.php,
styles / prosilver / template / portal / block / additional_blocks_center.html,
styles / prosilver / template / portal / block / additional_blocks_right.html

Refresh your Styles:
"Administration Control Panel" (ACP) > "Styles" > "Templates" > each > "refresh"
"Administration Control Panel" (ACP) > "Styles" > "Themes" > each > "refresh"
"Administration Control Panel" (ACP) > "Styles" > "Imagesets" > each > "refresh"

Clear your cache in the "Administration Control Panel" (ACP) > "General" > "Purge the cache"

OK Thanks, found the problem...

I've had an identical problem. I've been running 3.08 and Gallery 1.05 for a long time. Finally got around to updating Board3 Portal to 1.06, and my gallery blocks have disappeared. I've verified the existence of these files:

portal / block / additional_blocks.php,
styles / prosilver / template / portal / block / additional_blocks_center.html,
styles / prosilver / template / portal / block / additional_blocks_right.html

And checked that the blocks are enabled in the portal's acp. The themes, images, templates have had their caches cleared many times, and purged the cache many times as well, as I've been troubleshooting other issues.

Any ideas?

A link to your board would be helpful.

sorry... www.nova-nilla.com/Members/phpBB3/

It's a private board, so I don't know how much you can get from this. Let me know if you need me to pm you a test login.

Thanks in advance.

Check the installation instructions for the "gallery-block ".

Ah. Much thanks. I forgot there were such things in an update. I'll get back tomorrow and let you know if that worked.

No joy... I've gone through the instructions for the old gallery block for the portal, and can't find anything that's missing in my files. I have the portal configured to show a row of random images in the center, and a block of recent images on the right. I've made the appropriate changes to the directions (switching instances of "left" with "right"), and the blocks simply do not show up in my portal.

EDIT:

I found THIS line in my additional_blocks.php file:

Code: Select all

if (!defined('IN_PHPBB') || !defined('IN_PORTAL'))

I'm not sure why this was changed to this, but it was supposed to be:

Code: Select all

if (!defined('IN_PORTAL'))

So I changed it, and that fixed it. Except I can't seem to use the small gallery block on the right hand side, it expands to mimic the center gallery block.

additional_blocks.php file:
Find

Code: Select all

if (!defined('IN_PHPBB') || !defined('IN_PORTAL'))
{
   exit;
}

Add after
Tip: Add these lines on a new blank line after the preceding line(s) to find.

Code: Select all

if(!function_exists('recent_gallery_images'))
{
    include($phpbb_root_path . 'portal/block/gallery.'.$phpEx);
}

This works for me now, Archivar. Thank you for your help.

HI, this week I wanted to update my phpbb gallery from 1.06 to 1.1.4. But it seems it isn't compatible with the Gallery Block 1.4.1 addon. Halfway the update i got some problems. ( http://www.flying-bits.org/viewtopic.php?f=105&t=3270 ) Nick advised me to uninstall the Gallery Block 1.4.1 addon. Can someone tell me the best way to do this?

Thx,
Hans

Same Problem here
Try`d to update Gallery from 1.0.6 >1.1.1 and i got error messages conflicting with "recent_gallery_images" on Index.php and Portal.php
The Problem seems to be the Gallery-Portal-Mod that is incompatible with new Gallery versions. They say to uninstall Portal-Gallery-Mod.

Any Howto out there to uninstall clean from Portal?

[bc2005]

Well, I tried it this way: I removed all the changes I had to make in the install procedure of Gallery Block 1.4.1, reloaded the files, and purged my cache. Now everything works like it should, alas without the Gallery Blocks add-on. I presume I have to install a newer version now, and probably also update my board to Board3 2.0.1...
