Fatal error: Call to undefined function: zip_open() in …/wpig.php on line 168

This is line 168 from wpig.php:
$zip_handle = zip_open($zip['tmp_name']);

I’m getting the above error when creating a new gallery. I’m using WP 2.0.5, Almost Spring theme, and WPIG v1.4.0. I created the gallery directory and thumbcache subdirectory and CHMODed each to 665. The zip file I’m uploading is about 1.5MB.

What can I do to move forward? This is the best gallery option I’ve found & I’d really like to use it!

Ok still trying to get this worked out, really frustrated. ?? I’ve look at code so long I dont know which way is up. I’m about to give up on Equix completely, having gotten very little support. Sorry for the rant. We’ve all been here, I think. Any help GREATLY appreciated!

Looks like a dead end on this one. I hate to go back to the default, but doesn’t look like I have a choice at the moment.

Hmm. I changed the code from wcol to ncol, but it not only displaces the sidebar, now it makes the window wider as well:

https://www.designbox.us/blog/wordpress/wp-gal/sp_index.php

Warning: lengthy code snippets ahead! Before I get to the previous positioning issue, I wanted to mention that links do not get automatically included in the sidebar like in the kubrick theme. He includes a link template, but I dont want links to be on a completely separtate page. My solution was to cut & paste the link code from Kubrick and it worked fine.

One other issue – the sidebar gets shortened on all but the index page. How can I correct that?

On to the sidebar bumping issue: it still occurs on the gallery page only. I’m wondering if I need to edit my gallery template, the same way he provided page/author templates. the current gallery template I have looks like this, it redirects to the sp-index that came with simple php gallery:

<?php
/*
Template Name: Gallery
*/
get_header();
?>
<meta http-equiv="REFRESH" content="0;url=https://www.designbox.us/blog/wordpress/wp-gal/sp_index.php">

The sp_index.php looks like this:
<?php
/* Don't remove this line. */
require('../wp-blog-header.php');
?>

<?php get_header(); ?>

<div id="content" class="wcol">

<!--<div class="navigation">
<div class="alignleft"><?php posts_nav_link('','','&laquo; Previous Entries') ?></div>
<div class="alignright"><?php posts_nav_link('','Next Entries &raquo;','') ?></div>
</div>-->

<div id="spg">

On my way, thanks!

Works for me! I’d like to thank lawtai for his persistence with this issue. ??

This may help us.

I have this same problem and would be interested in an answer as well.

Thanks all! i’ve been poring thru the Alex King site, will check others. And that cssmaxdesign site is great! I like how it gives you code for bothe html and css and show the result. Very helpful to a newbie. ??

Actually, now that I think about it, the blog page is the only page I want the sidebar to have archive and category links. So I guess the question is how to code this piece so it checks to see if it’s on the blog page (page ID 8 in this case), and if it’s not, don’t display those links?

How can .htaccess be used to protect files, not entire directories? in this case, the blog.php file I made?

Root if you have the time, I could use some help with this. Be forewarned I’m new to coding – I hack my way thru most of the time. yogaboat at hotmail dot com.

Pardon my ignorance, I’m new to all of this and THOROUGHLY confused at this point.

I installed Ryan’s plug-in. However I can not get to the blog. Not only that, but the archives pages show a shortened sidebar. Site is here:

Root what do you mean by “run your front page”? Are you saying rename index.php to home.php?? Where does the new page I created to be the front page fall into that setup?
