webgen users - Mar 2007 - gallery issue...

Hi, 
i''m new of both webgen and ruby, so maybe this can be a dumb question,
but
i can''t recognize any solution by myself.

I use webgen 0.4.1 (the newest webgen .deb package).

I''m trying to make a test gallery, without succeeding in it.
i done (ehm, copied) the yeah.gallery file in the root directory:

  1 title: Example Gallery
  2 imagesPerPage: 32
  3 images: gallery/*.jpg
  4 
  5 mainPageMetaInfo:
  6     inMenu: true
  7     otherKey: value
  8 
  9 galleryPagesMetaInfo:
 10     orderInfo: 10
 11     inMenu: true
 12 ---
 13 gallery/frate.jpg:
 14     title: Test title
 15     description: Long description of image
 16 
 17 gallery/gas01.jpg:
 18     title: Title2 of pic
 19     mykey: mydata

of course i have a directory gallery/ with some pictures...
but it makes only empty pages: it creates them, but empty page.
any ideas?

thanks, bye!

My teachers always said: there are no dumb question, only dumb  
answers :) So, just ask anything and I will try to answer it!

Okay, do you have files called gallery_main.template,  
gallery_gallery.template and gallery_image.template in your src/  
directory? These templates do the actual rendering of a gallery and  
can either be created by yourself or you can use a predefined gallery  
style by using the command:

   webgen use gallery_style <GALLERY STYLE NAME>

webgen currently ships with two gallery styles: default and slides.  
The default style is very simple (useful as basis for creating a more  
sophisticated one) and the slides style looks quite nice. Have a look  
at http://webgen.rubyforge.org/examples/gallery_styles/index.html to  
view sample pages showing them.

Also make sure you have rmagick installed (have a look at the output  
of ''webgen check libs'')!

Bye,
   Thomas

wow, i''ll surely said to MY teachers.. :)

Anyway, it was this:
>    webgen use gallery_style <GALLERY STYLE NAME>
i thought that it uses template from /usr/... and I didn''t guess the
right
behavior. :)
so, now it works, thanks a lot.

you''ll hear me soon :D
bye!
