Support for Drupal 7 is ending on 5 January 2025—it’s time to migrate to Drupal 10! Learn about the many benefits of Drupal 10 and find migration tools in our resource center.I am now about an hour into trying to get this module up just to see if it really does what I want. There seem to be a lot of dependencies and I would have saved a lot of time if they were listed on the project page.

Anonymous (not verified) CreditAttribution: Anonymous commentedWell there are not many dependencies for the media_gallery module. All I installed was the latest version of media module, which needs ctools and entity in the current version. Except form this media_gallery only needs the "multipleform" module as a dependencies in the current version. The rest are Drupal core modules that should be turned on anyway.
Hey and you can always check the modules page or the media_gallery.info file for an overview what's needed.
But yes, someone could add the multiform module as a dependency on the project page. ;)

NancyDruAnd mention PLUpload more prominently as the way to do multiple uploads.
Comment #3
NancyDruWell, according to my error log, the Colorbox library is required - no mention of that anywhere.

NancyDruThis information NEEDS to be on the project page. Very few people read the README file because most are useless. It's also quite helpful to know prerequisites before even downloading the module.
Based on the project pages for Media Browser Plus and Media YouTube, I don't need those. I am only dealing with user uploaded pictures.
I have installed PLUpload and the Colorbox plugin; I even installed the Colorbox module, but subsequently disabled it. With the Colorbox plugin, this module becomes close to useless due to severely slow performance (#1102722: Preloading images / Slow colorbox).

Grammer CreditAttribution: Grammer commentedModule enabling sequence is also important.
Enable Chaos tools, save
Enable Media, Multiform, save,
Enable Media Gallery
an example of small set of modules let media gallery works: #1231776: No images visible / thumbnails not generated

NancyDruI already had cTools, but did the others together and it was okay. Then I added the Colorbox library, then PLUpload. Works for me except for the Colorbox display is incredibly slow.
Comment #8
AFowleI agree with Nancy, but lack of consistent documentation from the project page is a widespread Drupal problem.
It is interesting to note that the version of Media Gallery on DrupalGardens does not need Media according to the online Modules page, even when "Simplified modules" is turned off. The Media module is present in exported sites so perhaps the MGallery authors no longer see the dependencies they should.
