webgen users - May 2006 - Creating a new gallery layout

Hi,

I''m trying to create a new gallery layout. I did the following:

o create plugin/foobar.rb in my base directory.
o copy plugins/gallerylayouters/default.rb in foobar.rb and make
appropriate modifications. For
simplicity, lets say my class looks thus:

require ''webgen/plugins/gallerylayouters/default''

module GalleryLayouters
    class Foobar < DefaultGalleryLayouter
        define_handler ''layout''
        register_layout ''foobar''
    end
end

(yes, I tried filling in the main, gallery and image methods. Same results)

o I create a file my.gallery under src/:
title: Gallery
files: gallery/**/*.jpg
imagesPerPage: 16
layout: "foobar"

mainPage:
    inMenu: true

Now when I run webgen, I keep getting lots of these:
Mon May 22 00:17:23 PDT 2006 ERROR -- Invalid layout specified:
foobar! Using GalleryLayouters::DefaultGalleryLayouter!:

Verbose logging shows me this:
Mon May 22 00:19:04 PDT 2006 DEBUG -- Loading plugin file
<plugin/foobar.rb>...:
Mon May 22 00:19:04 PDT 2006  INFO -- Registering class
GalleryLayouters::Foobar for handling layout
 ''foobar'':

What am I missing?

Thanks

Sorry for the self-reply, but I figured it out:
> module GalleryLayouters
>     class Foobar < DefaultGalleryLayouter
>         define_handler ''layout'' <== DON''T
NEED THIS!!
>         register_layout ''foobar''
>     end
> end
But it wasn''t apparent from the documentation. I had to read through
plugin.rb to figure out what was going on.

I know, some parts of the documentation are not really good, but I
currently lack the time to work on webgen. I hope it will get better
soon and then I will update the docs on webgen.rubyforge.org.
