3.0 RC3 J1.6 doesnt work without facebook?

[Toomster]

Hi there,

i have a clean installation of joomla 1.6 wihtout standardcontend. I installed the gallery-component, created a category, uploaded one image and set it into the category. everything works so far.
then i created a new mainmenu-link for list of categories (a) and one for list of images (b).
when i checked the frontend the links appear and i clicked on (a) it shows the cat. but when i click on the cat or try to open (b) nothing happen. the borwser (firefox 3.6/IE are going into a loop or stop.
when i go back on home it shows the message: "Connection to Facebook not created. Check the cURL functions in php.ini"
i checked the gallery-options and deactivate every comment and rating-function, picasa- and facebook-stuff. the rest is on default, but the error stays.

What do i have to do to get the gallery working without facebook-id or something else

I have the same problem.

I do not have a facebook account so how do I make phoca work without this?

Thank you

Hi everybody,
New to Phoca but same problem...
Any idea ?

there is a problem with CURL extension, you can enable it in php.ini (extension=php_curl.dll).
Look also api.php:

Code: Select all

if (!function_exists('curl_init')) {
	$msg = JText::_('COM_PHOCAGALLERY_FACEBOOK_NOT_LOADED_CURL');
	$app->redirect(JRoute::_($link, false), $msg, 'error');
	exit;

Thanks for the hint it helps
in standardinstallation of xampp its not active.
i also switched the "allow_url_fopen" to "on", because the info-button of phoca-gallery said its recommend.
sometimes it helps to rtfm
hopefully i will be able to change it on provider-webspaces that easy.

i can say - SOLVED - so far


what should i check in that api? the same code you posted is inside.

Hello,

i got the same problem here but it still doesnt work. I don't have that much knowledge about php and Joomla.

I installed a new Joomla 1.6 system with XAMPP and removed the ";" in front of "extension=php_curl.dll" in the php.ini. Hope this was the right way, to enable the Curl extension.
The "allow_url_fopen" is also "on" and in the api.php is the same code like posted.

You have some more ideas?

thanks

Edit:
Okay sorry, a simple reboot helped Guess XAMMP needed to restart for the changings... So you can ignore this post

Hi, confirmed, there needs to be an if clause for facebook library (for now the curl is checked evertime the library is loaded)

I will fix it for the next version.
