As I mentioned in a previous post about Jess Thompson Photography http://www.jessthompsonphotography.com, I have recently found this great AJAX|PHP Gallery system Minishowcase.
I have written an administration system to extend the already smooth system.
The Administration system plugs in and works pretty seamlessly with the front end.
Some features are;
» plug and play
» no editing original ‘minishowcase’ files.
» adding galleries,
» editing gallery text/html files in a WYSIWYG editor
» adding images to each gallery
» moving images between galleries
» previewing,resizing,rotating images ( while keeping their transparencies (gif|png)).
» multiple users
It is free to any one who wants it,
I have a demo on www.lendrum.co.nz for the front end, and the minishowcase administration plugin.
Installation Notes
» Read the read_me.txt included with the download.
» upload to the root directory or your gallery.
» add the supplied ‘.htaccess’ file to the /admin/ direcotry.
.
» chmod(0777) the /galleries/ directory recursively
» chmod(0764) the users.inc file /admin/lib/users.inc
Basically that it!
Check it out and let me know your thoughts.

Wow! Thank you very much!
I always wanted to write in my blog something like that. Can I take part of your post to my blog?
Of course, I will add backlink?
Sincerely, Timur I.
any idea what this means? I have installed the admin and it works, but wont show any pictures
Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /usr/home/web/web100988/deemoo.dk/gallery/admin/lib/lib.php on line 267
Hi, I would first make sure that the ‘galleries’ directory has read/write access for apache/php, and that you have added the images via the Admin, ( or chown the files to your web user).

any tips on getting the WYSIWYG working? It just doesn’t show..
I’m not really sure with out seeing what you have, I would maybe make sure that the ‘/admin/lib/tiny_mce.inc’ file is there, and readable by PHP, and you have the .htaccess in place.
Good work! Thank you very much!
Useful information , great post . Thanks for sharing
All was pleasant, but could not subscribe on rss?
The actual information, thanks, I will take to myself blog.
THis is a great tool. The only downside I see is that my gallery names can only be one word. I can’t seem to create a galley with a two words because it creates the folder without a space. Is there a work around for this? Thank again!
Hi Josh,
When Adding a gallery, use an underscore in the Gallery name where you want the space.

I have just added ‘Sheldons Photos’.
So simple… I should have known! Thanks so much!
When I log into the admin site it says “welcome administrator” but then goes directly back to the admin login page rather than going to the gallery to edit. Any ideas as to what I’m doing wrong? Thanks!
Hi, this is a really great tool ! But i have some problems when i’m putting minishowcase administration on my website free.fr, i got this message : “Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() ” on the “galleries” page. I tried this plugin on EasyPHP and it works just fine ! i really don’t know why it won’t work, any ideas ? Thanks.
Do you have any galleries in the ‘/galleries/’ directory ? That will only show if it can’t find any.
Changing the admin password or username doesn’t work.
I change it and nothing works after that; yes i’ve tried it like 1000 times.
Incredible admin script -simple and perfect for commom end users- , and more usefull than the “other”.
Mmm, i have just a issue with de WYSIWYG editor, it does not show up. I install all in localhost and then tested over my remote host. Same thing, does not work.
All files seem to be fine, tiny_mce.js in “editor” folder. The .htaccess doesn’t matter because i doing this over Mamp.
Any thoughts?
Debuggin this appear:
Error: o is not a constructor
Source File: http://localhost:8888/sanz/admin/editor/tiny_mce.js
Line: 1
OK, I could at last fix it! Many files were missed in “plugins” folder, just download them in tinyMCE web.
But, there’s another issue, the button SAVE in “Pages” doesn’t save anything. It just send the loop and nothing happens, what could it be?
Thank you in advance.
Hi Huriata,
I’m not sure what would be causing that, Did you make sure that the /minishowcase/galleries/ directory has write access by the server, especially the _notes.txt file ?
I’m running into the same problem as Josh had above, logging in and getting kicked back to the login page.
Help?
hi sheldon,
in the settings.php you mention that the file extension list is NOT case sensitive. But actually I checked that it was CASE SENSITIVE.
I uploaded some pictures with *.JPG extension, and the result is all images cannot be accessed with the following error message:
“Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in bla bla..”
Then I rename all the extensions to be *.jpg, error message disappear and images can be seen successfully in administration page.
anyway, thank you very much for this great plugin!
