I have been asked to update a site with a gallery of photos but unfortunately, I don't have any experience with Drupal and/or the Gallery2 plugin (I have a wordpress background) that is installed.
I have tried unsuccessfully, to get brought up to speed on Drupal but I feel like I am spinning in circles.
Steps that I have so far...
1. Gallery page setup
2. This is what I have under gallery settings
PHP Memory Limit OK
Your PHP is configured to limit the memory to 128M (memory_limit parameter in php.ini). This should be fine for embedded Gallery2 operation.
Gallery2 locations Error
Drupal Modules / Gallery2 Plugins Warning
Clean URL / URL Rewrite Warning
Initial User Synchronization Error
Critical errors are present.
Can anyone tell me how I should go about setting up the Gallery2 plugin/module?
Your time and effort is greatly appreciated.

according to the project page there is no D7 version of the gallery2 module. That said, you've tagged this thread as D7 and if that is indeed the version of drupal installed then the module won't work with Drupal 7.
If you are using Drupal 6 and mistagged this thread I'd suggest avoiding the gallery2.module as it hasn't been touched in years and has been on a downward slide If you choose to continue with it, filing a support request in the issue queue of the module in question 'may' be fruitful.
My apologies. Drupal newbie
My apologies. Drupal newbie here. It's actually running v6.16.
Would you happen to have another gallery suggestion???

I build my own using custom content types and views. There are multiple ways to deal with galleries directly into drupal. It solely depends on the feature set you require. if you are expecting the features of what had become a bloated gallery project then you likely won't find that all in a single module in drupal.
may want to check with the coppermine community to see if they bundle with a drupal plugin these days. I don't know.
VM, thanks for the help

I don't see a clear option to setup a gallery that is native to the installation of Drupal. However, I do see under Install under Site Configuration --> Gallery Settings. Unfortunately, I don't know what this is referring to. Is to install a gallery that is native to the Drupal install or is it linked to the Gallery2 module? If I click on install, what are the consequences?
As for developing your own content and views, would you be able to point in the right direction on how to go about doing this?
Thanks.

yes those would likely be the gallery 2 settings. I've no idea what the consequences would be. If you are working on a sandboxo of the production site, feel free to experiment. If you aren't working in sandbox ... you should be.
