Hi,

as per my previous posts, I am using DNN Version 4.5.3 and the Gallery Module version 4.2.0.

I am a bit confused about the .DLL files to use.

I assume all of the DLL files sit under ...\DotNetNuke\bin

At present I only have the following file in the bin dir, which came with version 4.2.0 of the Gallery module:

Gallery.Exif.dll dated 9-11-2005 84kb

Doing a search I also see that previous versions had the following 2 DLLs supplied, but that these are no longer in the bin dir, are they still required?

DotNetNuke.Modules.Gallery.dll 12-04-2006 236kb

DotNetNuke.Modules.Gallery.Popup.dll 12-04-2006 36kb

Which DLL files do I need to run the Gallery module?

Cheers

Peter

What you have is correct.  In the 4.1/4.2 (and higher) versions of the gallery module, you will only have the Gallery.exif.dll file in your bin directory.  This is because these versions of the gallery are built in .Net 2.0 which has all of its "code" in the app_code/gallery/ directory where it gets compiled on the fly (on demand?)

The old gallery module (3.1.12) was written in .Net 1.1 which required you to compile all of the code into a dll file and then release it with your webpages.  The dotnetnuke.modules.gallery.dll/popup.dll are those compiled bits of code (basically the same stuff that is in the .Net 2.0 app_code/gallery directory)

So in short, for gallery 3.1.12 you need the 3 files.  For gallery 4.1/4.2/4.x you need just the one file.  (Gallery.exif.dll is a third party support file for decoding the EXIF information in JPG's (camera make/model info, etc))

PS.  If you are running the 4.x versions of the gallery and copy in the 2 .NET 1.1 dll's into the directory you will get errors as ASP.NET will see the same "code" in both the dll and in the app_code/gallery directory

PSS. The current forum DNN module has hardcoded references to the .NET 1.1 dll's.  We hope they will have that fixed shortly.

Hope that makes sense.

Hi James,

thanks for the detailed info.

I suspect the code is'nt compiling correctly at run-time, but am not sure why.

Next I'll try copying the code from your 4.2 release ontop of the existing DNN install and see how that goes. Possibly I'm missing a source file or one of the files is out of date.

Cheers

Peter

Hi Peter,
 
I took a look at your website and some of the logs and the first thing that we need to get working is your DNN install.  It appears that there must be some files missing when you installed or something as there are errors in the event log regarding filesystem errors.  So can you check to make sure that you copied all of the files correctly into the DNN install.?  Maybe use a tool like windiff to do a compare between your install and the official gallery “install” zip file.
 
I did make some minor changes to some other files to trap for some more error conditions and fix some other issues, so you might want to try that.. but I think your DNN is what is really wrong..
Copy the file “folder.vb” to   app_code/gallery/GalleryItems/Folder.vb
Copy the file “xml.vb” to app_code/gallery/utilities/xml.vb
 
Let me know what you find.

Hi James,

Thanks for the suggestions. I’ll investigate the DNN in detail.

Is there a file/folder contents listing available?

The two files you suggested were installed ok, but looking at the error log I think your theory is likely to be the correct one.

Cheers

Peter
