Here are the step-by-step instructions for setting up Gallery Server Pro for integration with a Sueetie Community Site.
Configuring Gallery Server Pro for Sueetie
¶
Roger Martin is the developer who created the .NET Open Source Gallery Server Pro application. GSP has become so popular that Roger now works on it full-time, which is great news for all Gallery Server Pro fans and Sueetie Communities! Be sure to go the the GSP site and make a contribution to support Roger's continued excellent work.
Download Gallery Server Pro 2.2.3286 from
http://galleryserverpro.com
¶
Version 2.2.x is the first usercontrol-architected release of Gallery Server Pro. This makes integration and deployment even easier. The best instructions on installing GSP are found on the Version 2.2 installation guide in PDF format located
on Roger's announcement of v2.2's release.
Read those instructions and then return here to the Sueetie media setup instructions.
Download the GSP DIFFs from CodePlex
¶
Download the GSP DIFF files from
the Sueetie CodePlex Site.
As you can see below, there are only a few diff files that we'll be applying to Gallery Server Pro and that they are confined to the Website project area.
Copy the DIFF files over the Website files, then update the SqlServerDbConnection connection string and compile the solution. The complete Gallery Server Pro solution is shown below. We haven't added the Web Root or WSAT web site projects to the solution as we typically have with other Sueetie applications.
I found that I could not load Gallery Server Pro without the SQLite support library, as SQLite is one of GSP's data configuration options. There are a number of variants of SQLite out there and the version you need to download is not readily apparent on GalleryServerPro.com. (At least I couldn't find it.) The version that I'm using is
the ADO.NET 2.0 Provider for SQLite available on SourceForge.NET.
I downloaded the SQLite-1.0.60.0-setup.exe and it resolved my GSP issue.
For details installing and referencing SQLite in Gallery Server Pro 2.2 to resolve initial runtime error,
view this wiki page.
Setup the database
¶
Setup the database by walking through the GSP installation steps. Use the "?g=install" query string to install. Ex: http://localhost/gallery/default.aspx?g=install. Before running setup remember to give Read/Write permissions to the IIS account for gs/config and gs/mediaobjects folders. It's also a good idea to follow Roger's advice to deactivate installation after you successfully setup the database.
The web site files are displayed below. "Media" is an IIS Application directory.
Setup Role Permissions in Gallery Server Pro
¶
Login to Gallery Server Pro as Admin and set roles according to Sueetie Role configuration. model This would require giving administration permissions to MediaAdministrator role and "View" to Registered user role.
