hi, i installed the gallery.module and i get a block showing on my drupal page. the photo name shows but there is a "?" where the photo should be. ??? (i'm getting discouraged. i recently upgraded to g2. i wanted a CMS and chose drupal because it's being used here. i was hoping that meant i could integrate these two rather easily. after reading the threads... it isn't looking so easy at all!) HELP?! what is the best CMS to integrate g2 for a non-geek? thanks |

While I use Drupal myself, Wordpress looks like it might be easier for a non techy and has a great following at http://wpg2.ozgreg.com/forums/index.php . Getting technical, I'm not sure WP is considered a CMS... But some people say CMS when all they want is blogging software, so I figured I'd suggest it.
If you really want a full featured CMS, don't give up on Drupal. There's work being done to make the integration easier.

thanks for the response. i'm pretty up on what's what (i just said "non-geek" to elicit that type response, but i'm not *that* geek). ;)
is your response regarding the integration of *g2* with WP vs. Drupal?

Webserver = Apache/1.3.33 (Darwin) PHP/5.0.4
Database = mysql 4.1.10a
Toolkits = ArchiveUpload, Exif, ImageMagick, Thumbnail, Ffmpeg, Gd, Dcraw

Yes. If you're running G2 stand alone, then it really doesn't matter what CMS you're using.

thanks. i shouldn't be in two places i guess! now that my questions are melding! such is my dilemma.
i'll ask what i asked in the other section again, but differently --can you embed a standalone g2 into drupal, if so, can g2 still be acessed as a standalone? (best of both worlds.)
personally, i think i'd rather have one integrated site (see i'm a guy with content waiting for a home) --besides photo albums-- but i'm still trying to find the setup i want. i'd like to get this one working and be done with it such is a cyber life.

There really only is one G2. The gallery.module for Drupal just makes it fit inside of Drupal. It's still the same program as stand alone. I believe there is a setting you can set in the config file to enforce embedded only but, otherwise, yes, you can still access it stand alone. In my case, if I go to "www.example.com/gallery" then the module kicks in and I get it embedded. If I go to "www.example.com/gallery2" then I get stand alone as /gallery2 is where I have the config file.
