Hi there, OK, i want to install a new module. register Module which will enable me to allow guests and visitors alike to my gallery to register onto my gallery 3. I have downloaded a module [from download section here] and now where do i go and then initiate the install process? Because everytime i click on module, it just brings me to the list of modules already installed. And there is no option for me to install a new modedule. |

Each module has a codex page as well that might have specific install / operation / configuration requirements.

Thank You FLORDAVE for the prompt assistance.
My problem is where do a initiate the install process. I have downloaded the register.zip file. Now what i get from the links you posted here is...
Every module has it's own folder in the "gallery3/modules" folder. Installing is as easy as uploading the module folder and activating the module
Download the module(s) you want to add to your Gallery 3 installation.
Extract the compressed archive and upload the module folder (e.g. "mymodule") to the "modules" folder in your Gallery 3 installation folder. If you are looking at your file manager or ftp client, you end up with something that looks like:
"gallery3/modules/mymodule/module.info"
It should not look like: "gallery3/modules/mymodule/mymodule/module.info" or "gallery3/modules/mymodule.zip"
Browse to your Gallery 3 page and go to "Login -> Admin -> Modules"
Select all modules you want to install / activate and click on "Update" at the bottom of the page
Important: It is recommended to install modules one by one so that one of the modules breaks your installation you will know which one it is. In case this has happened to you please scroll down to "Troubleshooting modules" on this page.
Seems OK.
Where do i CLICK on INSTALL module and then browse back to this FILE [register.zip] and then eventually go back into the modules tab[menu] and activate it if I have to.

This is my site. I want to get the users to REGISTER themselves.
As it is now. I can only register them. I do not like it that way.
I want users to gister themselves.
Please help.

Do you understand that part?
Neither. It should be like all the other module in the modules directory. like:
gallery3/modules/mymodule/module.info

Thanks Dav again.
Mind if i ask where do I find this "gallery3/modules/mymodule/mymodule/module.info" or "gallery3/modules/mymodule.zip" link?
from www.mysite.com/photogalleries/gallery3/......? Or from cpanel.mysite.com/......?

No you don't extract the files there or find them.
Do you know how to extract files?
Have you ever unziped files to your computer and FTPed them to your site?
You need a FTP client or you can use your hosts control panel to find.
If you have not then I bet there is better resources to educate you on this basic of web hosting tasks.

Now that makes sense... i can get into cpanel and browse my way back...I was thinking more like CMS systems where I click here and there to upload/install plugins.
And yes, i can zip and unzip... i was just not sure where to start. Thanks alot. Let me see if i can do that. Reverting soon.

If you have better wording for the docs please make suggestions for the better of the community.
It is also a very good way to give back if you can't financially to this open source project.
