Hi!

I'm quite new here. I'm designing my first drupal site. I just installed the gallery module and gallery2 and made some tests. Now I've a couple of questions:

How do I define the path /www.mysite.domain/gallery? I read from one post that you should be able to access galleries through that link. I couldn't make it. Everything I could do was to get the gallery random image block up.

Is there any way to assign vocabulary terms to albums? I would like to arrange my albums according to the taxonomy I'm going to use with the other content.

How can I put 'gallery album' choice under my 'create content' menu?

Cheers,

Olli

Hi,

I have just installed Gallery 2 inside a drupal installation and found it to be a bit trickier than I'd expected.

If you've got the image block, that's great. There are just a few general tips which might help from this point, most of which took me hours to figure out (though perhaps I don't read instructions very well).

  • Don't make a directory called 'gallery' inside drupal. Make sure that it's called gallery2 or something similar, but not gallery. If it is installed under gallery, read the gallery.module INSTALL for help on moving. Obviously go back and change the directory name in the module, to match.
  • Once the gallery is up and working separately (as http://my.site/gallery2) enter the admin, and check the URL rewrite module. Enter the setup tab, and fill in the configuration for 'embedded setup'. You will need the absolute internal AND external details of your gallery2 path.
  • Make sure to use URL Rewrite in both drupal "clean urls" and gallery. For the Gallery portion, go to the 'rules' tab of URL Rewrite and do make sure that these are filled in as advised by INSTALL. Only "show item" should be checked, and its value set to "gallery/%path%".
  • Once this is all done then the 'gallery' path should be created by the magic of .htaccess.
  • edit reading your post again:

  • not sure about the gallery taxonomy, or creating a new album. AFAIK this level of integration has not yet been acheived - though I have to say I'm impressed so far and would expect to see more (or at least help on how to do more) soon.
  • Good luck!
