I really need some help with this module to get it to work for my blog.
I tried about anything for the last to days but i don’t seen to get the brilliant gallery working.
Even with picasa the link wont work!! :(
So i was hoping if there is a step by step tutorial witch i can follow that allows me to restart properly?

I followed some forums on this site to get me started but that all failed!
I have installed the module, made a map on the root for images and used the necessary tags, but if doesn’t display images?

also when i try to manage my albums i get the following error:

warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /customers/nenno.nl/nenno.nl/httpd.www/reis/modules/brilliant_gallery-6.x-3.6/brilliant_gallery/brilliant_gallery.module on line 409.

First, it looks like you have it installed in the wrong place. All user added modules should go in [site folder]/sites/all/modules/ or the appropriate domain specific folder under sites. Please refer to the drupal documentation on how to install modules: http://drupal.org/getting-started/install-contrib/modules

Second, you should really use the latest stable version, 3.6, rather than the development version if you aren't sure what you're doing.

Third, we need details of your setup.

What do you have for 'Path to the main gallery folder (for local, non-Picasa galleries):'
-- and what is the server path for that folder?

What do you have for 'Path to Picasa image CACHE folder:'
-- and what is the server path for that folder?

wauw thanks for the quick reaction,

Ok ik de-installed the modules an re-installed in your specified folder.

For all i know i have the 3.6 version of brilliant gallery so that shouln't be the problem.

third i've deleted my album to start again mabe you could specify me the best location for this?

(to awnser your question:
What do you have for 'Path to the main gallery folder (for local, non-Picasa galleries):' ---->albums
-- and what is the server path for that folder? ) ---> its on the root so albums

What do you have for 'Path to Picasa image CACHE folder:' ---> the default path that BG generated
-- and what is the server path for that folder? ----> i dont know this?? sorry where can i check this?

tnx in advance

Version: 6.x-4.x-dev » 6.x-3.6

Guess you do have the 3.6 version.

Did you look at the instructions for use:

http://vacilando.net/bg

scroll down a bit more than halfway to 'Step-by-step installation:'

The galleries folders must be under the sites/default/files folder. If you have a folder of albums somewhere else, you can try creating an alias/link to it from there, but make sure that the directory you're linking to is readable by drupal.

The cache folder should also be under sites/default/files, don't know what the default is but the entry in on the configuration page should be something like 'tmp' - which would be sites/default/files/tmp on the server.

Title: Getting Brilliant gallery to work » Getting Brilliant gallery to work - The correct syntax for the image path!!! - SOLVED!!!

There seems to be some confusion on how to configure the Path to the main gallery folder.

The normal syntax in most module configurations will be to configure an image path as such ..... sites/default/files/images but Brilliant Gallery uses Drupal's "File system path: " as a prefix hence you ONLY need to enter the actual directory itself (create one if it doesn't exist). I have given an example on how it should be done below:

* Drupal's "File System Path" = sites/default/files

* Brilliant Gallery's "Path to the main gallery folder" = /images (make sure you create the folder called images)

--- IMPORTANT NOTE: - Remove any prefix in the file path for BG to recognise it otherwise it won't work

Hope this helps!!!
