I know this is probably NOT the best place to ask, but no on at the menalto site has answered my question.

I've added the Gallery_module and it's working fine....except.....

I would like to eliminate the "dropdown menu" from user uploaded galleries. There is an option in the Gallery2 "Themes" page that allows you to uncheck a box to "Use dropdown menu", but I can't seem to get it to work.

The "dropdown" shows up on all pages but the actual photo itself. There are options at the bottom of the page that allow you to do the same things that the dropdown menu does. I'd like the users to be able to use those. It's a lot less cluttered.

Sorry if this should not be posted on this site. I thought someone else may have solved the problem here.

Thanks.

What that setting does is add the drop down to the side bar. (In site admin -> Themes -> Blocks to show in the sidebar

I think the only way to get the drop down out from under the main gallery albums list in the content area, would be to hack at the G2 code. The other things I notice before you hack away at the G2 codebase, is that the drop down & the navigation block don't do the exact same things.

from the main gallery screen if one were to click edit album they are editing the overall album. whereas when the edit album in the dropdown actually edits "that" album.

In the past I've found that the occasional Gallery setting doesn't "take" when viewed via the Drupal integration and looks fine in the Gallery standalone view. To remedy this, I do one of two things:

1) Manually run cron from Drupal;
2) Go to the Gallery settings page (admin/settings/gallery) and hit save (no need to change any values).

This seems to force the integration to recognize itself and fixes the occasional problem. Hopefully this works for you!
