Installation of Gallery to your PHP-Nuke site There are several gallery modules that are available for PHPNuke. The Coppermine gallery is probably the most famous and easy-to-use one, However, since Coppermine Gallery and PHP-Nuke are now incorporated into one application called CPGnuke and are not available for integration anymore, we are going to install 'Em's eGallery' which is available at: Emscomputerconcepts.com To install the gallery, you should first download the archive file and extract it on your local computer. This will create 2 new directories: db/ and html/. The db/ directory contains the database update script we will need in order to install the database structure for the gallery and the html/ directory contains the files needed by phpNuke for the installation. Please, open your favorite FTP client, connect to your FTP web hosting account and navigate to the directory where phpNuke is installed to. Then upload all the files and directories found under the html/ directory in the Gallery extracted archive file. Meanwhile the files are being uploaded; we will import the database tables that come with Em's eGallery script. To do so, please open your CPanel control panel; select the 'MySQL tab and scroll down to the end of the page. You will see a link to 'phpMyAdmin' tool. Click on it and a new page will load. From the drop-down menu at the left-hand side, please select the database you have created (UserName_nuke in my case) and wait for the right-hand side of the screen to update. Once fully loaded, click on 'SQL' tab and then on 'Browse' button. This will open a file upload browser window. Please, navigate to the db/ directory which come with the gallery archive file and which we have previously extracted on your local computer. There should be only one file inside that directory called ‘emsgallery.sql’. Double click on it and then click the 'Go' button. This will start the procedure of importing the database file into your account hosting. Once both the files are uploaded and db imported all we have to do is to configure your new gallery module. Please, go to your admin screen in PHPNuke and click on the new icon for Em's eGallery; scroll down a little and click on the 'Gallery Settings' link. From the 'Gallery Settings' page, please click on 'Edit Gallery Config' button. The only setting that you need to configure is 'Server Upload Directory' value. 
It should be: /home/YourUsernameHere/public_html/modules/emsGallery/images, where YourUsernameHere is replaced by your actual CPanel username. Save the configuration and you will have a nice and simple to use gallery integrated into PHPNuke. |
