Hi,

I hope that someone can help me out.

I have a web site: www.mysite.com. On that web site I have a fully functional mambo site at www.mysite.com/mambo and a fully functional gallery site at www.mysite.com/gallery. Right now I am displaying the gallery on the mambo site in an iframe. I don't like this solution, however. The images get cut off on small browsers which means that I have to enable scroll bars in the iframe. It is not very professional looking.

I want the gallery to display well without having to enable terrible scroll bars. So first question:
1) Do I need a full integaration
2) Can I just do a wrapper or will that have the same problem as an iframe?

I thing that it is best to to FULLY INTEGRATE the mambo and gallery sites into one.

So, this is the question, how do I FULLY integrate an already exisiting www.mysite.com/gallery with www.mysite.com/mambo (they under same master domain)? Remember they are already installed and fully functional on their own.

You will need to install the gallery component:

Installation:
- Install Gallery >=1.4.3 (note that there is popup in the the Gallery Configuration
Wizard to indicate if you will be using Gallery in a standalone or embeded installation.
Select "Standalone" or "Mambo" as desired.

- Install the Gallery component as follows:

- Go to the Mambo component Managment and "install" Gallery as a Mambo component.
Enter the directory that has the gallery.xml file in it
(eg. /home/mysite/public_html/gallery/contrib/mambo)

- Go into the component/gallery backend and fill in the location of the gallery component
(eg. /home/mysite/public_html/gallery)

- Specify the minimum Mambo admin level required to gain editor access to the gallery

- Then add the Gallery component as URL at the place you want.
