A small FAQ that will grow with questions that we find in the forums.

From version 1.11.9 onward, a help document will be available through the Control Panel of RSgallery2. This could also prove useful.

How do I upgrade RSG2?

Reminder: if you are running a production website, you should be making and keeping backups.

If you are running RSG2 alpha 1.10.2 or higher you can easily upgrade to the latest alpha.

To upgrade:

1. Uninstall previous version from Joomla backend(DB and images will be kept)
2. Install new version (install recognizes old version and will automatically upgrade)
3. Install any rsgTemplates you were using before.
   

What are the system requirements?

You need Joomla 1.x, all the Joomla! requirments and one of three graphics libraries: GD2, ImageMagick or Netpbm.  Your server also needs to be configured with higher limits than some installations default to.  See the FAQ item on uploading large files if you have problems with installation.

How can I help out?

• Download and test the latest alpha, give your feedback in the forums.
• If you know PHP, apply for project membership at the Joomla! dev site.  When applying, ensure you say who you are and how you can help.
• Donate!  There is a developer motivation button you can use on the left. 

Joomfish

Yes RSG2 works with Joomfish. Here are the XML files for Files and Categories.

I can't upload large images or zip files.

PHP has a number of settings that limit file uploads. You will need to ask your hosting provider to change these settings in the file php.ini. If you are hosting your own site, please read the PHP manual on Handling File Uploads and Common Pitfalls.  The following are suggested minimums:

max_execution_time: 300
memory_limit: 32MB
post_max_size: 32MB
upload_max_filesize: 32MB

The last three should be higher than the largest zip file you want to upload.

My batch uploads are incomplete.

See previous question. Increase max_execution_time until it works.  The slower your server or the larger the file, the higher this number will need to be.

You can also set it to 0 which is infinity.  However if you have a PHP script with a looping bug anywhere on your server, the web server process will need to be manually killed.

Error: GD2 doesn't support reading image type jpeg

The PHP version you are using does not have GD2 support. You need to ask your hosting provider to enable GD2. If they don't offer GD2 they should offer a different graphics library like ImageMagick or Netpbm. You can switch to one of these in the RSG2 configuration.

If you are hosting your own site and using linux, recompile PHP with GD2 support. If you are using windows, add this line to php.ini: extension=php_gd2.dll

If you have problems enabling GD2, google for help or install ImageMagic or Netpbm.

How do I translate RSG2 to my language?

We have a forum dedicated to this topic.
You can also have a look here, when there isn't a language file for you available, you can translate the text yourself with the information on that page.

How can I customize RSGallery2?

We have a forum dedicated to this topic as well.

Why don't you support Mambo?

Technical Reason: Most of the good Mambo developers left Mambo to start Joomla.  Joomla is going in a great direction, as time goes on, it is becoming better and better while Mambo is stagnating.

Philosophical Reason: RSG2 developers love open source software.  Miro (the company behind Mambo) acted contrary to the Open Source Way.  Joomla is commited to the Open Source Philosophy.
