Hi, apologies in advance if some of this is very basic. I just haven't got my head around installing software on a remote website. My wife has a small craft website hosted by justhost.com We are using Joomla 1.5 as the content management system but would like to improve the presentation of photographs. Justhost provide Gallery 3.0.1 and it can be installed via Fantastico. My questions are is Gallery 'compatible' with Joomla 1.5 and if so can I just let Fantastico do the installtion? Even better if somebody can help me would be to download the latest version and install it myself because I'm really not sure how I do that on a remote site. Thanks for any help with this. |

We are at 3.0.3 right now so your host/fantastico does not keep up with the times.
What do you mean by 'compatible'? Do you want to integrate it visually or the user/authentication done as well.
What parts of the install directions not clear? There is a big downloads link on every page.

Hi Dave, thanks for replying. By compatible I suppose I mean do they integrate or will they become like two seperate areas of the website. The website is currently Joomla based but I'm no expert. Will I need to change it so that it effectively becomes Gallery based?
Yeh, know about the 3.0.3

When one says integrate there is two that come to mind; visual and user.
There is no API for user integration with G3. Visual integration will have to be done by modifying the themes files or it could be as simple as a header file depending on the complexity of the site.
