Gallery2 does not work with smarty3 package

After installation of gallery2 package on a fresh installed Ubuntu
Raring Ringtail there's a problem regarding smarty php package
(gallery2 displays only white page which is an indication for a php
related problem):

From apache2 error.log file:

[...]
[Tue May 07 09:57:51 2013] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] PHP Fatal error: require_once(): Failed opening required '/usr/share/gallery2/modules/core/classes/../../../lib/smarty/Smarty.class.php' (include_path='.:/usr/share/php:/usr/share/pear') in /usr/share/gallery2/modules/core/classes/GalleryCoreApi.class on line 2827

The symlink /usr/share/gallery2/lib/smarty seems to be broken (points
to /usr/share/php/smarty which should be /usr/share/php/smarty3 which
is provided by the smarty3 spackage that comes with Raring Ringtail)

Fixing this symlink does not help, the following error is displayed in apache2 error.log file:

+ Old files (6)
These files are no longer part of Gallery. They probably won't cause any problems but it is a good idea to remove them to keep your install clean.
Continue to Step 3»
Gallery: your photos on your website » gallery.sourceforge.net

=> To me this looks like an incompatibility with smarty3 package

Description of problem: Fedora 18 has php-Smarty-3.1.12. Fedora 17 had php-Smart-2.6.27. After upgrading my gallery2 box to F18 my gallery broke.

Log:
PHP Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'SmartyException' with message 'Call of unknown method 'register_object'.' in /usr/share/php/Smarty/sysplugins/smarty_internal_templatebase.php:806\nStack trace:\n#0 /usr/share/gallery2/modules/core/classes/GalleryTemplate.class(346): Smarty_Internal_TemplateBase->__call('register_object', Array)\n#1 /usr/share/gallery2/modules/core/classes/GalleryTemplate.class(346): GallerySmarty->register_object('g', Object(GalleryTemplateAdapter), Array, true, Array)\n#2 /usr/share/gallery2/modules/core/classes/GalleryTemplate.class(71): GalleryTemplate->_getSmarty(true)\n#3 /usr/share/gallery2/main.php(463): GalleryTemplate->GalleryTemplate('/usr/share/gall...')\n#4 /usr/share/gallery2/main.php(104): _GalleryMain(false)\n#5 /usr/share/gallery2/main.php(88): GalleryMain()\n#6 /home/michael/www/cronenworth_gallery/main.php(3): require('/usr/share/gall...')\n#7 {main}\n thrown in /usr/share/php/Smarty/sysplugins/smarty_internal_templatebase.php on line 806

Downgrading php-Smarty back to the F17 version fixes the problem.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gallery2-2.3.2-5.fc18.noarch

Hi,

Same thing here, curious that it has not been reported before !

Regards,

Laurent

[Gwyn (gwyn-redhat-bugs)]

Have a look here:

http://fedorapeople.org/~limb/review/php-Smarty2/

I've placed a parallel-installable php-Smarty2 package, and rebuilds of gallery2 RPMS that use it instead of php-Smarty. If these work for you, I'll submit php-Smarty2 for review, and once approved, push it and updates for gallery2.

[Michael (michael-redhat-bugs)]

(In reply to comment #2)
> http://fedorapeople.org/~limb/review/php-Smarty2/

These packages work for me. Thanks.

[Laurent (laurent-redhat-bugs)]

Hi,

This is also working for me !
Thanks a lot ! :)

Regards

Laurent

[Bevis (bevis-redhat-bugs)]

Just upgraded to this version and everything seems to be working just fine.

Thank you!

Ship it to the poor folks out there who haven't found this bug report yet! :-(

Regards, Bevis.

[David (david-redhat-bugs)]

FWIW I've "fixed" this for now with 'yum --releasever=17 downgrade smarty'.

Perhaps RPM dependencies should have expressed that in the first place, somehow?

[Gwyn (gwyn-redhat-bugs)]

Yes, if I had realized that gallery2 needed php-Smarty <= 2.x.

[Fedora (fedora-redhat-bugs)]

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Nir Yeffet (nir-launchpad-net-8ff8)]

Temporary and ugly fix; run as root

cd
wget http://www.smarty.net/files/Smarty-2.6.27.tar.gz
cd /usr/share/php/
tar xzf ~/Smarty-2.6.27.tar.gz
chown -R root:root Smarty-2.6.27
cd /usr/share/gallery2/lib
rm smarty
ln -s /usr/share/php/Smarty-2.6.27/libs smarty

[Olek Wojnar (olekw)]

Fixed upstream in version 2.3.1-1.

[Olek Wojnar (olekw)]

Hmm, won't let me adjust Importance. Based on the symptoms this should have High Importance. Also note that the most recent version in Debian was 2.3.2.dfsg-1.
