Hi, i just installed gallery 2 on my web server, its looking great so far, a few questions though. i see some people have lots of custom links, such as contac us, faq, about us, etc... i was just wondering how i could go about doing that? and can i put those links anywhere i want?

also, i was wondering if it possible to have the main page a news page, rather then just a list of the albums. thanks in advanced guys, bye.

Those sites most likely have G2 integrated into them. There is an entire section in the forums dedicated to integration discussion. Some popular CMSs (content management systems - which is where you can plug in the extra functionality of a news page, etc) are Drupal, Mambo, PHP Nuke, etc. Read around to hear what others think of each one. I recently moved my site from PHP Nuke to Drupal and have been very pleased.

Download a version of postnuke, or phpnuke and install it, then you move gallery to /modules/gallery2/ and edit the gallery config file (i think it's config.php) and follow the directions for embedding gallery into another site (i think they are called CMS sites CMS = Content Managemnt Sites)

so it wont effect my current settings if i just move the gallery2 folder? and all i have to do is change the config file? im just worried it might mess up the settings.
