Help with "Remote Gallery Sync..." please

[Chris Green]

I'm trying to export some images to Gallery2 and I'm not getting very
far.

When I "Open" the Gallery I want to export to I get a pop-up box saying:-

    "Failed to login to remote gallery. Gallery URL probably incorrect. Do
    you want to try again"


What should the Gallery URL be?  I'm using:-

    http://home.isbd.net/gallery2/main.php

Which is certainly the place where I log in to my Gallery2
installation normally but doesn't seem to be what Digikam wants.

The place where I actually want to put this album is:-

    http://home.isbd.net/gallery2/main.php/v/sudbourne/

but if I use that Digikam appends a main.php and that doesn't work either.

what kipi-plugins version are you speaking about?
I'm currently working on KDE4 "gallery export" porting and that is actually
the "state of the art" ;)
If you are speaking about last KDE3 release I really cannot help you.

I'm talking about the Export menu item "Remote Gallery Sync...".

Anyway, after a certain amount of pain I have got it to work.  For it
to work there need to be some plugins installed at the Gallery2 end of
things, I *think* these are the "HTTP Auth" and the "Remote" plugins.
Once I had these installed on Gallery2 it all worked.  I'm not
absolutely sure it needs the "HTTP Auth" plugin actually but it
definitely needs the "Remote" plugin.

Hehe, that still doesn't say if you are using KDE3 or KDE4! but it's
rather academic.

Yeah both these are probably needed. Remote plugin definately as any
remote interaction with a Gallery system needs this, including the Java
Gallery remote shipped with Gallery.

I think Andrea is correct in that a little hint somewhere is needed.
Probably just a "Make sure you gallery is configured correctly" text
somewhere (e.g. when adding a new gallery account) and a link to the
kipi-plugins site, so details can be updated easily without having to
change the code :)

Yes, just a little note would be fine.  I found out about needing the
Remote by doing a Google search, I then guessed at needing the HTTP
Auth plugin as well.

There is also the issue of where Digikam's Export facilities are
documented, I couldn't find it at all.

There is a much wider long term goal about how "syncronisation" will
work. I've been mulling over ideas for years and although I made a start
to it, I quickly realised that there may be better approaches.

I've not done any actual coding on this for a long time, but I'm quite
keen to take a look at Akonadi now it's out there, to see if ti can
perhaps be used as a basis for personal media collections both locally
and remotely.

I've discussed this quite a lot in the past but I've not had enough time
to fully drive it forward.

Hopefully I'll find myself inspired on this topic again soon and free up
some time to concentrate on it.... I seem to have a rather large number
of project I want to do right now tho' :(
