I was wondering if there was a module that let you add an item type which would be a simple url link to another gallery? I recently took a trip to Vegas and all of my friends have galleries. I would like to add a link to their galleries in my Vegas gallery. Seems like a simple request, is this a feature?

I did some searching on the forum and found this post:

One of the contributors says that there is a G2 module which does this. However, when I posted there he kindly told me to post somewhere else without telling me what the module is. I looked at the module list and do not see it listed there.

Does anyone know if this is a feature?

that other thread was about Gallery 1.

I don't know of a module for G2 that lets you add a URL as an item. The list of user contributed modules is here:
http://codex.gallery2.org/index.php/Gallery2:UserContributions but I don't see something that might work on there either.

So it's not a feature yet, but it is something that has been requested before and we are working on. I'd venture to say it will probably be in Gallery 2.2 as part of the xmlrpc code I've been working on..

Thanks for the reply, my confusion here is that in the post, http://gallery.menalto.com/node/42786#comment-162015, you said the module already exists!

Oh well, I guess I will wait it out! Good luck coding.

I thought there was but after looking around for you I couldn't find one an I didn't see it in my post. Sorry! There is the linkeditem module which lets one item show up in several places in the _same_ gallery 2 install, but yeah, I'm not so sure about adding URLs as an item in Gallery 2..
