Problems with Gallery2

vigneshr35 - April 15, 2009 - 13:12

Hi Everyone,

I am developing a Social Networking site using Drupal. All modules i have been using on this regard are working fine except for the Gallery2 Module. I think the Gallery module along with Gallery2 forms the core for Adding a Photo Gallery feature to my site. Do correct me if I am wrong here. But when i tried using these modules (After placing the modules under drupal/modules/), I am getting some error messages,one among which is Memory size change in php.ini which i have sorted out.

It is also asking for a config.php file under modules/gallery2/ which is absent in this location. These errors come under Administer>site configurations>Gallery Settings (admin/settings/gallery). Please help me in finding the Solution for this and proceeding further to accomplish the Photo Gallery task.

Thanks

Do you have Gallery2 running

Do you have Gallery2 running on its own? i.e. in standalone mode?

You must first install Gallery2 and get it working on its own with no integration to Drupal. Its has pretty good documentation, so you should look at that. Once its working, then you can try to set up the Gallery2-Drupal integration module.

Gallery2 isn't the only way to get user galleries in drupal. Unless your site is photocentric I'd avoid trying to work with 2 totally separate scripts and use one of the other methods available for images.

I would agree - I had the

I would agree - I had the Gallery2-Drupal module running for a while. I think its OK, but may have been causing issues with MySQL and generating too many DB connections.

I am currently looking at the other Drupal gallery modules. None are perfect replacements for Gallery2 but they are getting close.

http://drupal.org/project/node_gallery
http://drupal.org/project/cck_gallery (broken, but promising)
http://drupal.org/project/acidfree (D6 module needs work, no D6 video module)

image.module which includes an image_gallery.module
imagefield.module with views.module give you much more control over display.
