Description
Hello Arturo
I've been using TNG for several years, yet am very new to Drupal. I have installed Drupal 6.2, a new install of the latest TNG and your module - The Next Generation Integration. The single log-in appears to be working well.
However, as I am new to Drupal I'm not sure if what I am wanting to do is logical or possible using your module. I would like to have TNG displayed within a defined block/region within my Drupal page, so that I can maintain the surrounding Drupal theme and menu system, etc. Is this possible? At the moment, selecting TNG Genealogy reloads the page with TNG only, with no direct access to my Drupal site.
Regards
Peter

Well, the log-in was working, then it wasn't. Some of the time it still recognised who I was - saying Welcome Administrator, yet still wanted me to log-in to TNG directly, although I obviously couldn't, as this login failed.
After reading a post on the TNG forum, I have since disabled Clean URLs and both issues (login and display) appear to have been resolved, although at the expense of clean URLs.

If you have the clean URL function activated in your Drupal installation, you cannot put the TNG files into a folder called "tng". You must create a folder called something else, e.g. "nextgen" or "tng-files" and then change the appropriate "Path to TNG Directory" setting in the TNG admin screen so that the module can find the files in the appropriate folder.
Please see the readme.txt file:
1. Path to TNG Directory. This should point to the folder on the server where the TNG software resides.
The folder should be in the same directory as the Drupal installation. The default is "tng" which indicates
that TNG would be installed in a folder called "tng" in the Drupal installation directory. If you are using
url rewrite in Drupal to eliminate the "?q=" from your urls and you would like TNG accessible from outside of
Drupal, you CANNOT use "tng" as your TNG folder name. Please do not use any trailing slashes after the folder
name.
Can you let me know if this addresses your issue?
