I have a brand new install of latest stable drupal and latest stable gallery2 integreated pretty well, using default drupal theme. I'm not the only one altering admin settings so I'm not sure what exactly happened but things are messed up. I created an album under the main album and set it up so all reg members can upload there. I uploaded one image to that album as a reg user. However the current state is: the Site Admin hyperlink and many others in the gallery area simply take me to the main gallery. If I click Edit I can get into the little admin area, but have to resort to the drupal advanced settings backdoor to get into the full gallery admin console. Even worse, even as admin if I click on any image in the main gallery, nothing happens (screen refeshes but I remain in main gallery). If I click on the subgroup, nothing happens. I've been through many sections and I cannot figure out how it all got into this state.

One other odd thing was that for a while, after clicking "edit" on the main gallery, there were two "Back to Album" hyperlinks, with completely different urls. Now that's gone. I hope someone can give me a clue re this. It was all working ok till a while ago and now these issues. The rest of drupal is fine.

i'd start with disabling and uninstalling the url rewrite module of g2, if it's enabled.
then check if g2 works fine in standalone.

When I enter the URL rewrite admin area it says

Approved referers
The parser you have selected does not support a referer check.

Anything else I do there boots me to the front page of the gallery. This area I'm almost certain was not touched. Perms were fiddled with but nothing seems odd there, as far as I can see. How can an admin be kicked out/

Sorry I'd not seen the general module area switch for enabling/disabling the URL Rewrite. Sure enough, disabling URL Rewrite 'fixes' all of the issues I've reported. But I really do want URL Rewrite, so how do I proceed? Drupal proper works well with the url rewrite on.

One other thing I just noticed while looking through screenshots of gallery2 sites here is

#1 I never see any sort of nav list of galleries, there is always just a single item "gallery" in the drupal nav menu on the left (default drupal theme) example

http://gallery.menalto.com/gallery/screenshots/screenshotsG2/user/matrix_with_albumselect_squarethumbs.jpg.html

#2 I never see the edit options in the left hand menu while in the gallery example

http://gallery.menalto.com/gallery/screenshots/screenshotsG2/user/matrix_photo.jpg.html

I'd guess this is because I'm using the embedded g2 in drupal? But I'm guessing I should have both of those features, this is something else wrong?

See http://www.drupal.galleryembedded.com/index.php/DRUPAL_Gallery2_URL_Rewrites for URL rewrite info in drupal/gallery2.

You need to enable the gallery navigation block to see the items you are looking for. You would also need to enable the Album Select module and ensure it's in your Gallery2 sidebar (admin->themes).

Excellent, thanks for those tips re the g2 nav menu block.

I have one more question re this. Some other 'helper' adjusted settings on the site and I think something degraded.

Current menue is like this:

create content
gallery
administer
log out

Gallery Navigation
__Main Gallery
____Member Gallery
____Test Gallery

I want the gallery stuff embedded in the gallery entry in the first section, like:

create content
gallery
__Member Gallery
__Test Gallery
administer
log out

Thanks

No one knows if this is possible?

Check out http://www.galleryembedded.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=3819 . Note that I do not use this and do not plan to include it in the supported gallery.module at this time.

Thanks. That might be a little too much meddling for me since I'm so new to g2 and drupal. It's not simple to integrate, that's one thing to know.

The gallery module that you'd not integrate that patch into is...the embedded drupal gallery module?

It might be good enough if I could find a way to show the subgalleries across the top of the album, like a top nav block kind of idea, but I've not found out how to do that. Is there such a feature?
