Hi,

I think I may just be dumb here.
I am trying to install the Grey Wind theme.I have downloaded the theme itself along with the shared module but for the life of me cannot seem to get the shared module part working.
I have copied them to the themes folder as two seperate folders, named differently and also copied them to the themes folder and merged the two folders together activating afterwards.
I can activate the theme in Gallery which works fine but when going to the theme options section it always reports that the shared module is unavailable.
Any assistance much appreciated, I love this theme but would like to access the options.
Thanks,

The theme goes in the theme directory and the module goes in the module directory.

Thanks very much for that. So I was being dumb. I suppose I should have read the more general info rather than the specific theme info. My bad, thanks again!

Perhaps the modules documentation needs some details?
What would have helped?

Probably not, I think its just me not reading and understanding thoroughly enough, I used this page,

http://codex.gallery2.org/Gallery3:Themes:greydragon

particularly this part,

IMPORTANT! Theme requires the shared module - GreyDragon - for admin section to work properly - it is available here - http://blog.dragonsoft.us/downloads/15

The key word is of course module. I think its probably because I am totally new to gallery and assumed the shared part was a shared theme for use with other themes etc.
Im sure the documentation for modules is comprehensive and I would have probably figured out how to install a module without reading the instructions.

That being said, my colleague also read all the info and tried for half an hour and missed it too. Were probably both dumb :)

Thanks again!

I noticed you put a link to module installation in the instructions, even I wouldnt have been confused when reading that.

Thanks and great ongoing support, kudos to you!
