I finished the first WPMU modification for NextGEN Gallery based on the changes from Rowan Crane. I’m tested this here locally and it works so far. If somebody is interested to test this in live you can checkout the current version at my GoogleCode project .
I’m not very familiar with WPMU blogs , so leave a comment if you have ideas what features could be added for a seamless WPMU integration…
Changes for WPMU :
- Integrated quota check (
and support ofZ-Space Upload Quotas) - Remove uninstall button for blog user
- Remove server settings
- Gallery path set to blog.dir and readonly
- New Site-Admin page to enable/disable functions

Once again: Alex, you rock!
Cool news! Email sent.
I’ve got a new install in the works - I’d love to test it.
Hello
,
It is an amazing work. I like it very much.I was searching for a long time how to add a good gallery to my blog. At last I got it. You are the true opensource geeks too. Convey my regards to all, those who worked beyond the development. You see the demo from here.

You are amazing! I don’t think there are any photogallery plugins that natively support WPMU yet (at least, I have yet to find any). I’ve been surviving off of modified builds of various scripts for about a year now, latest of which has been NextGen.
As for features, I can’t think of any features that need to be added besides quota check and better integration with WPMU, which I see you are doing.
Good luck with the development!
Would love to test it too
Good to see this
Am quite happy to give it a whirl on my live site.
ready for testing too
mail to: ovizii at zice dot ro
Would like to test it as well. NextGen is the best image plugin I have come cross for standard wp
Good, I like to test it. Email sent!!
I would like to test it what is your email address?
I would really like to test it, actually I was just lurking around your code to figure out to make it work nicely with MU..
I already have NextGEN Gallery with some modifications to make it work with Wordpress MU
I hvaeto uninstall to put this version?
I would very much like to test you WPMU
Hi!
It’s soo good to see this development!
mail is on the way!
Cheers Phil
Tried nextgen with my regular wordpress site. Great job. I would love to test it out on WPMU too.
Hi Alex,
ich spiel auch gerad mal mit dem MU rum. Kannst du mir deine Alpha mal zukommen lassen!?
Danke, Olaf
Würde mich auch über das Zukommen dieser netten Sache freuen
Gruß Dennis
your plugin is making a big conflict with the “xmlrpc.php”, when try to publish via microsfot word, or Flickr, the program crash, but the post is done, :S. If i disable the plugin all works fine… Greetings
i try the wp version in wpmu. when new user try to use it, the tab only appear SETUP and Roles is there any setting i had did wrong?
And i would like try WPMU version. tq
I would like to test the plugin, I’m in the middle of migrating to a WPMU setup, so perfect timing.
Wao
I want to test it…
great!
hi alexraba, “the wpmu suppoter”, i had received the wpmu nextgen gallery plugin. i will try it, Tq
This plugin is great! I got one question though:
Will it be possible for you to add some flickr functionality into your plugin?
Regards,
DM
@DM : no sense. NextGEN is a real gallery.
@ Rafik.. duh?
What flickr functionality do you mean ? Import of functions ?
Thanks for your reply Alex. I mean being able to display a set of pictures from flickr as a gallery. I know there are other plugins out there which should do the thing, but they seem to cause problems. For instance the slickr plugin just displays an empty options screen..
Not in the next step… but maybe I get some more time then I will have a look for it
hi alex; i had try on the “nextgen gallery for wpmu” is great, and i dun see any-prob now, i going to let user to have gallery=1, and blogs.dir/ID/files/ and a picture file on default meaning; once active or when a new user created, the dir, picture and gallery will auto insert, is it posible?
Hi Alex,
Great plugin, I really would like to use it for WPMU.
I installed 0.73 on MU, but got an error message in the dahsboard, stating that is only runs from WP 2.1 and higher. I now use WMPMU 1.2.5
I would like to do some testing too, and to get this plugin up and running.
Hello,
sorry my english is not very good.
I would like to test NextGen Gallery with WPMU support.
I have Wpmu 1.2.5
thank you
@Pascal & Klaus
You can download the trunk of my Google Code Project (see link), it’s the latest version with WPMU support. But I must note that it’s only support WPMU 1.3
I’m trying to set this up with wpmu 1.3. I’ve installed it, but when try to create a gallery or upload pics I get the msg
Directory /data/htdocs/mytestdir/gallery didn’t exist. Please create first the main gallery folder !
But I do have a dir Directory /data/htdocs/mytestdir/gallery, and permissions are set on it for 777.
@Pupster : do you use the trunk version from my GoogleCode ?
Not sure if was the trunk version. It was from http://code.google.com/p/nextgen-gallery/downloads/list
nextgen-gallery.0.73.zip
WPMU features are only in trunk ! You need to checkout them…
not i got the problem. nextgen wpmu cannot auto activate for every new user ? can help?<:)
See this http://firestats.cc/wiki/WPMUPluginCommander
Okay I found and installed the trunk and am still getting the following:
Directory /data/htdocs/mystestdir/gallery didn’t exist. Please create first the main gallery folder!
But /data/htdocs/mystestdir/gallery does exist.
There’s no readme file in the trunk. What permissions do I need to change? /data/htdocs/mystestdir/gallery is 777, but what about the /wp-content/plugins/nextgen-gallery files/dirs ?
never mind. I had to deactive the old plugi and activate the new. Then I needed to give permissions to the blog files in blog.dir
oo Alex thank you
hi alex, i had install http://firestats.cc/wiki/WPMUPluginCommander
the plugins did active only “Setup” is available. I had check the wp table the wpdb-> table did not create ngg-album, ngggallery …etc. but when user click manualy the plugin runs great. why?
hi, please comment at my way,: i had remove the function checking the plugins is active or not-active in ngg_install.php, and use the wpmuplugincommander to active the plugins, it works.
I will have a look if I can optimze it. So that NGG didn’t require the PluginCommander
hi,
im confused on this one
add a gallery and upload some images (the main gallery folder must have permission 777)
do i have to make a new folder named “gallery”? and attrib to 777?
please help
thanks
Correct
Hi!
First of all, we want to thank you for such an excellent plugin. We use it on our regular WordPress installs and it’s just awesome.
We are setting a new blog service at centralchannel.com and would like to implement gallery in it.
I got the version from trunk and copied it over to /plugins/. I can see gallery detected by plugin commander and also the admin page for nextgen.
I set the path to ****/wp-content/blogs.dir/.
The plugin was activated via plugin manager for all users.
But yet, users see the gallery option in the menu, but the only thing in there is just “reset options”.
Also, we modified wpmu so that file directories for users are in MD5 hashed dirs:
/blogs.dir/e4/da/3b/7f/bb/ce/23/45/d7/77/2b/06/74/a3/18/d5/files/
This is to overcome file system limitations…
Anything we are missing? There is a gallery dir inside blogs.dir set to 777…
Also, if you’d like access to our servers to further test the software, let us know.
Peter
@Peter
Why do you need this MD5 for the blog.dir ?
About the “only reset setting” issue : Maybe the roles are not set when activate.
I already have a couple blogs running under one user right now. Would I be able to use this modification and still use the current photos I have up .. I’d hate to have to modify all of them, I guess I could just change the dirs. in php edit manually.
Hi Alex,
A lot of filesystems, including ext3, have a limit of 32,000 directories within a directory.
Thus, if you reach that number of directories, WordPress can’t create more directories within blogs.dir and thus no new blogs.
By MD5ing the blog ID, it creates a directory tree with a 16^6 number of possible directories under which blog dirs are organized. Essentially it overcomes that 32K barrier and increases the number of possible blogs to about 16 million.
There are code modifications for this at the wpmu forum.
This is also the problem why there is a limit of the number of tables mysql can have, because it can’t create that many files within the database’s directory. If the tables were organized within a MD5 hash-type directory tree, the limitation would disappear.
As for the problem with the “only reset issue”, do you think then this is a problem of Plugin Commander?
Peter
hi, when i take of ngg_install.php
in other for wpmu to add table for wp_X_nggXXXXX by default.
// Check for capability
** // if ( !current_user_can(’activate_plugins’) )
** // return;
this will run but! when i click Gallery–> Manage gallery –> edit(one of gallery) –> and click save changes the path: will change to other path ?? why? tq for comment
I have uploaded the latest trunk to my wordpress mu site in the plugins folder and set the permissions to 777.
When I try to activate the plugin for one of the sites, it still tells me I need WP 2.1 or higher and will not activate.
Any suggestions?
@Peter
I need to have a look for the activation again. Because in this moment the roles for the user are created (and maybe for WPMU it must be changed)
@guflee
Do you use realley the lasted trunk ? I used the
hi alex,
i m just a beginner so i havent look on the trac trunk. I m still looking on it, and one question about “nextgen gallery” Gallery path on admin what you mean by %BLOG_ID% places-holder, i try to edit it to “wp-content/blog.dir/%BLOG_ID%/ this can’t work?

i have alerady install in wpmu but error in upload file

Directory /home/xxxx/public_html/wp-content/blogs.dir/1/files/test contains no pictures
and file not upload
Thanks
I have the same error where it wont upload a file in the Add gallery > Upload images section.
It seems that it’s a firefox specific bug because it works fine in ie7.
Any idea’s what could be causing the problem?
Thanks,
Edin
Hi Alex,
I’ve installed the latest version WPMU support. The gallery works fine as an Administrator. However, when a subscriber attempts to create a new album, the folder is created on the server, but when the user attempts to upload photos, the album is not in the drop-down and can’t be selected.
Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Dan
