Ok I have mod rewrite running but in the test phase of url rewrite it says it can't write to the .htaccess for embedded - what folder do i need to create an .htaccess file for this to work? Gallery version = 2.0-beta-3+ core 0.9.22 |

None, it won't work. It means the URL rewrite rules designed for Gallery are NOT going to work on the embedded version. This is because the master application, PHPNUKE in your case, controls the URLs. These URLs are completely different than what the URLs Gallery's URL rewrite rules are expecting. So it would either plain not work or break something.
IOW, the URL rewrite can only be used with the stand alone version of Gallery.

rewrite works when embedded in xaraya.. is phpnuke different somehow?
manny917, I think the folder should be the directory where the gallery2 integration script is.. ie, if you access g2 via /nuke/index.php?module=gallery2 then you'd want .htaccess in /path/to/nuke

we have no phpnuke knowledge so it's hard to tell if rewrite works at all or what customizations / changes would be needed.

ok was just wondering - i suppose i should hop over to nukedgallery.net for these questions - cause another question i had is that zip download thru embedded works but when you try to open the zip file its corrupted - works fine thru standalone. funny is that rar can open the zipp saying its corrupt but you can see the files in the zip, windows zip support just says file is corrput and does not open. mindless i will try your suggestion

Maybe it might just depend on how the master application configures it's URLs to call the slave application. I'm not sure about phpnuke, but here's how Postnuke (I was confused) configures it's URLs:
This is from G1:
example.com/modules.php?set_albumName=album22&op=modload&name=gallery&file=index&include=view_album.php
I might be mistaken, but that won't fall into any of the rewrite rules setup for Gallery (1 or 2).

G2 writes the G2 urls in the page, so it can write appropriate short urls.. the module helps you put a .htaccess in the right place to process those short urls.

Thanks for the clarification. I guess I was getting confused with some of the URL and rewrite stuff.

Using this method visitors to http://www.zacatecas.net/modules/mGallery2/gallery2/main.php are redirected to http://www.zacatecas.net/index.php?name=mGallery2&file=index - There is no problem there. But when I look at the images I find that their path is set to /modules/mGallery2/gallery2/main.php thus being redirected to the new address, in dong this all links for the images in the gallery are broken.
This is what I added in the htaccess file:
Redirect 301 /modules/mGallery2/gallery2/main.php http://www.zacatecas.net/index.php?name=mGallery2&file=index

Two re-upgrades procedures and using the cleaup.sh did the job. My gallery is fully integrated into PN and my main stand-alone gallery page is now re-directed beautifully to the PN integrated main gallery.
Thank you Valiant for your help.
Next item on the agenda? Remembering what customization I had on the original files. No big deal, Is mostly cosmetic.
