Gallery

We work very closely with the Kohana team, so if it would simplify things
from your end to treat the development as if it was directly on Gallery 3,
we can help manage getting those changes pushed upstream.

Thank you for the information, that is very helpful. I will add a zipped
package with the changed/necessary files as well to make it easier for
users to download and use. (Not everyone is familiar with applying .patch
files)

I also really appreciate your offer to publish this as a news story at
gallery.menalto.com. I will definitely work something up and email when
ready.

As for Gallery 3, I did take a look and from what I could see, it uses the
Kohona php framework. What we'd need to do in that case is create and
native SQL Server adapter for Kohona, submit to them and then provide those
changes to Gallery 3 as well.

That is something that is possible though so thank you for bringing that
up.

Regards,

Chris

Thanks for the patch Chris! Unfortunately, Gallery 2 development has been
stopped for over a year while we've been busy at work on Gallery 3. We
simply don't have the resources to integrate this into trunk or make it
"officially supported" at this point in time.

Having the patch in this tracker is a great way to make it available for
people to use, and it's probably worth creating a forum topic on
http://gallery.menalto.com/ and crosslinking so that people can more easily
stumble across this.

If you'd like to e-mail me (my sf username at my sf username dot com) a
"story" similar in format to the ones on the front page of
gallery.menalto.com, I'd be happy to post it there to get this in front of
a wider audience.

If you'd like to hack on a product that is a lot easier to hack on to give
it MSSQL support, we'd love some more hands on Gallery 3!
