hello.
I have searched for way to make a board(for diary, essay, notice..etc) in my gallery(gallery2)
but I couldn't find it. There are just some articles about integtarion or embedding.

What I want is not a kind of integration but just a simple board as a 'module' in my gallery. I don't think that it is difficult, because there are already many modules which is more complex than a board(like 'about module', 'link module' etc.).

Is it possible to make a board? then, how?

board = bulletin board = forum à la phpbb?

thanks!
but really what I want is a board within GALLERY. Gallery is a main page and board is a module. Like a 'LOG IN' button, there is 'board' button, which I can go a board page. I don't want the gallery within one forum. is that possible?

Sure... it is possible, anything is possible. And to make it easier, Gallery (1 & 2) are open source, gpl products so you are free to do it.

I'll be bluntly honest... it would be dumb. There are plenty of awsome forum systems out there, it would be silly to create a new one for G2. You could probably create a gallery2 + forum integration that *looked* like the forum was in gallery though. Or, you might find that you could use some CMS and integrate both G2 *and* a forum to it, like we do here I think.
