Image gallery is not showing in the 3.8.9 version of the page builder. In the previous version, everything was working fine, I think.

Hi Riku,
that's weird becuase we didn't change anything in Gallery addon code in last update. I tested on my private site, and gallery addon still works. Please answer to all my questions:
- Can you show us URL to that page?
- Full template name
- Have you use any JavaScript compression tool?
- Have you tried on different browser, if no, try it.

- Page url in the hidden area.
- Template does not have an impact, I tested with the default Protostar and the gallery is not showing.
- There is no javascript compression tool in use.
- Both Firefox and Chrome have the same problem.
When checking the page source code there is the
<div.sppb-addon-gallery>
block, but no gallery code is rendered within the block.

Indeed HTML code of gallery is empty. Maybe code is somehow broken?
- Can you add there a new gallery addon and recheck.
- Disable gzip and preview again. Now all your files seems to be gzip'ed, or this is custom template??? Never seen that.

The gzip option is in the template settings, sorry I did not realize that. Now I disabled gzip and still the gallery is not showing.
I also tested with a new gallery addon, but it is not working.
Some time ago the ISP changed PHP 7 to PHP 8, but the template did not work, and I asked to revert back to PHP 7. Now the site runs on PHP 7. In this occasion, could some changes to the PHP settings have occurred that could have impacted on the gallery addon? I also fixed some Joomla code to work in PHP 8 (Deprecated function parameters etc.), but not anything in SP Page Builder code.

do you have problem only with that addon? Image addon works OK?
Is that addon somehow overriden in your template?
Can you add Gallery addon on NEW page, where only that addon will be used.

Image addon works fine, but gallery is not showing even in the Joomla default Protostar template. I tested this in a new page with only gallery addon included.

Hi Paul,
I am sorry to have bothered you with this issue.
I indeed had changed the gallery addon code in the template folder, while fixing error notices in order to upgrade to PHP 8. The notice came from this file: templates/buckle/sppagebuilder/addons/gallery/site.php, where in line 30 $value->title was not defined (Notice: Undefined property: stdClass::$title). Now I have removed this piece of code and no error messages come up any more.

Ok, great.
So addon was overriden.
Riku Lahteenmaki Asked this
If I rename the gallery folder, the whole site will break. So, the template override is part of the Page Builder architecture, right?
Paul Frankowski Senior Staff
Not rename, delete!
If override was done by somebody else, no. It's like extra code.
Riku Lahteenmaki Asked this
When I rename this folder:
templates/buckle/sppagebuilder/addons/gallery/
to:
templates/buckle/sppagebuilder/addons/xgallery/
the site becomes blank. Removing the folder should have the same effect?
Paul Frankowski Senior Staff
No, that's why I said
Not rename, delete!
