Requirements
------------
Gallery2.1 (or above) installed and working (see http://gallery.menalto.com)
Image Block module installed and activated in Gallery2
Image Frame module installed and activated in Gallery2
Note that this module does not provide any photo/album functions itelf, but uses
Gallery2 (http://gallery.menalto.com) to provide this functionality.
Installation Instructions
-------------------------
1. Install Gallery 2.1 and Drupal 4.7 (see their respective installation
documents).
***Warning*** - Do not name your Gallery2 directory "gallery", call it something else
(eg "gallery2"). Calling it "gallery" will cause a conflict with the Drupal gallery.module
as Drupal assumes that http://www.example.com/gallery refers to the Drupal module.
2. Ensure that "Image Block" and "Image Frame" modules are installed and activated in Gallery2.
Check them in the non-embedded Gallery. See
http://codex.gallery2.org/index.php/Gallery2:Download for instructions to download it
if it was not included in your installation.
3. Log out of Gallery2 (non-embedded) - people have reported errors relating to sessions if this
is not done.
4. Copy the entire gallery module directory to your drupal modules/ directory.
5. Enable the gallery module in administer -> modules in your drupal
installation.
6. Go to administer -> settings -> gallery and enter the URI of Gallery2.
Leave "autodetect" selected and click "Save configuration". A series of tests will run to check
if everything is OK. There is a HELP link.
7. Enable the "Gallery Block" in administer -> blocks, and optionally the "Gallery Navigation"
Optional Steps
--------------
1. Sidebar. Go to your Gallery2 site admin and include the blocks you want in the sidebar
(under Themes). I use "Item Actions" and "Album Quick Links (DHTML)". To use
the latter you need to have installed the Album Select module.
3. g2image. If you install g2image http://g2image.steffensenfamily.com as either a standalone or
TinyMCE plugin you will have an excellent image chooser for Drupal/Gallery2. The
configuration is automatic when you hit the "Save configuration' button on the gallery
settings page.
