I had everything working well locally, but when I migrate to the server I no longer get "Lightbox2 Gallery" as an option for gallery_with_cck gallery type in Imagefield Gallery Content types. And under Imagefield Gallery Administration, I get nothing - no options except to save or reset to defaults. I've tried everything (working on this for about six hours now) and I cant get it to work. Arrrgh!

It's a big drag b/c it looks great on my local installation and I don't want to go back!

I've tried permissions - reinstalling the modules - everything... but I'm stumped. Methinks it has to do with Imagecache, but i don't have a clue. I am bummed! I'm running with clean urls; everything seems OK but this.

Any help would be greatly appreciated - thank you!

bcobin,

This sounds like you don't have any content types with imagefields attached to them... That's what the behavior you're describing would lead me to believe. Double check to make sure you actually have content types with imagefields on them, and then reply here. If worse comes to worse, I'd happily look at the site itself for you.

Thanks, Eclipse - I do indeed have everything set properly (according to instructions) and whereas it works locally, I can't get it to work on the server - at all.

Thank you for your offer - I will take you up on it! You can see what I've done locally here (it will be slow, of course) and just e-mail me here for the user ID and password. Thank you thank you thank you!

in case someone else encounters a similar problem

I had the same problem- and turns out I needed to enable BOTH MODULES -
yoursite.com/admin/build/modules

make sure bothboxes are checked for :

ImageField
ImageField Gallery

then create content types etc.

The imagefield gallery module is JUST a gallery implementer. It creates a group of hooks for galleries types to be created and hooked to specific content types. A Lightbox2 gallery is provided by default. The whole point of the imagefield gallery module is to make other gallery types possible, I've been focussed on the needs of what I've built currently, so no new gallery types have been created but other developers could certainly create their own gallery type modules and release them.

Hope that clarifies what's going on here.
