Greetings all. I need help embedding G2 into Mambo, please. I have been poring over the docs, FAQs and searching the G2 topics for about a week, but I cannot figure out how to embed G2 into Mambo 4.5.1.3 or 4.5.2. (Two separate Mambos... G2 modules don't work on either). G2 (6-28-05 nightly snapshot) is working properly as a stand-alone. On the older Mambo, G2 it is installed under /mambo/. On the newer Mambo version, G2 is located outside /mambo/ and outside the site's domain, in /home/webs/gallery2. Com_gallery2-v2[1].0.5.zip is installed. I created a menu item for this component within both Mambos. Except for style issues, G2 works fine within Mambo as a "wrapped" component. Actually, com_gallery is not required to create a menu link to a "wrapped" version of the gallery. But the component IS needed for embedding! I changed mode.embed.only in config.php to true. Within G2, Registration, url rewrite are disabled. I don't have user issues (I think). When I attempt to install two of the G2/Mambo modules (mod_galleryside 2.1 and mod_gallery_block 1.5), I get a message in the module position that says, "this module is only loaded when gallery2 embedded is loaded, this doesn't seem to be the case." "...When gallery2 embedded is loaded"... ? So, what are the steps to loading gallery2 embedded into Mambo? Do I need an include statement to load the embedding? If so, in which file should I put it? What about the mos_gallery2 table? I have seen error messages that say this table does not exist. Is there an sql anywhere? Is THIS where I set the embed path? Do I need to alter GalleryEmbed.class? Does it matter if config.php mode.embed.only is set to true before or after installing the embedding Mambo com_gallery2? If I have missed answers to these questions posted elsewhere, forgive me. I am an fairly experienced Mambo user, but a G2 noob. I installed four stand-alone and embedded photo galleries for my client... guess which one he picked?! Gallery2! (Yes, he knows it's a beta, but it is already more stable than what we were using!) I usually work pretty well on my own, but instead, I need help to embed, because i'm numb in the head, from all the posts I have read. :lol: Thank you, G2-Mambers! |

Hi,
use version 2 or higher for modules and the component.
Don't use the wrapper, make a component link, so that the url will be like:
index?option=com_gallery2&etz...
sorry for the confusion on version numbers!
grtz,
Michiel

Thanks, Michiel for your reply. I'm sorry to confuse anyone. I am not using the wrapper, but am linking to the component. To me, it seems the result is the same whether making a Mambo link to a url or a Mambo link to the G2 component. I'm off to find version 2 or higher of the modules.

OMG! I just got the big KABONG! The light came on, and now i see! (This is good, as I was getting pretty discouraged).
To ensure that the G2 sidebar displays properly, it must be displayed on the Gallery2 component page in Mambo.
Now I understand what this error message means:
"...When gallery2 embedded is loaded"... ?
I can't believe I was the only one having a problem figuring this out!

snapple,
don't double post and if you search the forum or have read anything here, you should give somae more info. I can't work with the info you have given.
the only thing i can tell is your path's are configured incorrectly, give the site url and i can help you the fastest else give your config values of the component with the version of G2 and the version of the component.
grtz,
Michiel
