Hi all,

In light of the notice of the end of development of DNN 3.x, will there be a formally supported Gallery on 4.x? I notice James has been moving things along, but I'm not sure if the source code is available for his work.

About the only reason I haven't migrated my site to DNN 4, is the gallery module. I've tried others, but they don't quite fit the model I need. Problem is, I'm simply not capable of doing the upgrade of the source code myself from 3 to 4. If there's some there to go with, I can usually debug my way through and push back my recommendations for changes to teh community, as I have done before.

Any comments on this from they key guys involved? (I note your comments on another thread Crispy about your time, I'm only too aware of that time of issue myself over the last few months, I just want a starting point to be able to contribute from.)

Thanks as always for your hard work.

Roger

Since I am not a "formal" member of the gallery team I can not speak officially, but I would say that Yes the gallery module will be moving to DNN 4.x. 

From what I see:  I have already converted the existing code and have it running in DNN 4, along with showstopper bugs fixed so that the module is usable.  On a parrallel path the team is converting the module to use the database.  Once they are done, the two will be merged.  A new gallery, in DNN 4, with bugs fixed, and using the database.

As for the source to my changes, yes it is available--in fact that is the only way that I am distributing it, I have NOT compiled it AT ALL.  (ASP.NET 2.0 compiles on demand)

As for upgrading your DNN site, that shouldn't really depend on the gallery module.  Convert your site to DNN 4 using the DNN documentation, then either continue running the beta gallery module--or even better, install my fixed version. 

I hope this convinces you to upgrade to DNN 4 !

Hey Roger,  You can run the gallery under DNN4 there are a couple of problems but it works.  Like James said we are getting it hooked up to the DAL.  Actuallly they are probably waiting on me to get it finished.  (I've had a bit of bad computer luck the last couple months.)  But hope to have it out to the other guys Fairly soon.

Thanks for the good new. Looks like I've got to figure out how to set up my .Net 2.0 test/dev environment!! My problem not yours.

In the bug fixing, have you resolved the problems with dates, where people not using US date formats would get errors when the gallery tried to use a non US date as if it was US? I got round this by changing the date stored in the resources files to a neutral format. This was the major bug for me in the old version. I can always re-code the bug fix if needed. Of course when you move to the DAL, the problem should be solved.

Thanks
Roger

Yes, I have fixed the date format problem (see my other posts in the forums, or the readme file with my distribution)   My solution was to always store the dates in the resource file in US format.  That way no matter where you are, the file format is always the same.  I also added some error checking in that if it has a problem reading the date (such as if you have a resource file from before) it just ignores the date and continues.

I've had a couple of people respond back to me saying that it has worked for them.
