hopefully for the experts, this should be a straightforward question / answer. Go to menu --> choose 'installers' and then select 'components'. This will take you into the component installer screen. Click on 'browse' button and find the G2 bridge component you have downloaded and upload it (making sure it is still zipped up). in Joomla 1.5, i don't think this is the case, it must be Extensions / Install / Upload Package File. when i use this, i get the following result : obviously there is a permissions issue ? could anyone tell me what i need to do to achieve a integration of Joomla1.5, Gallery2 & Gallery2 Bridge. many thanks, if anyone provides the answer, i'll buy them a beer. Honest kind regards John |

Wow, this is coming late John, and I apologize for that. I'm not a Gallery2 or a Joomla expert, but I get by.
JFTP is new, and only appears in Joomla 1.5. When you installed Joomla, it asked for this information to allow you to be able to use FTP to upload files. I'm sorry, I'm not familiar with Unitedhosting. Is this how you upload files to the server? By FTP?
Also, what version of the Gallery2 Bridge are you using? The last version I have used is 2.13. 2.14 was released, but it's buggy as heck. Add to the fact, that the Joomla.org download site is having problems, and you have some issues getting everything set up. Also, an official version of Gallery2 Bridge that's compatible with Joomla 1.5 has not been released yet. I'm waiting on that myself.

Since there is no officila bridge yet I thought to write down my solution.
I gave up on bridging/integrating gallery2 with joomla 1.5. Instead since I use phpbb3 as a forum and I didn't really needed the users being sync in joomla, I used the phpbb3/gallery2 integration which worked perfect and it gives the forum some extra features as well.
But of course I needed to show photos from gallery2 to the frontpage for I which use Joomla. I used the external imageblock with the help of joomla's module "Jumi", to show photos from gallery2 to joomla. But unfortunately the links on the photos were opening directly to gallery's page something I didn't wanted.
So, since gallery is integrated to the forum, I decided and changed the header of the template of my forum and I made it look exactly like my joomla's template.
I removed the header of gallery's template and with some more changes both forum, and gallery looks like being integrated with joomla. That way I have joomla bridge free.
Unfortunately I am doing this locally, I will have the website live in a couple of days and I might write down all the changes I did in case someone need to do the same.

The alpha bridge seems to work pretty good so far. I haven't found any issues with it.
