Right now I have Gallery2 installed and embedded in my installed copy of Joomla!
I have my main page set up so that you can click to access the page where the gallery is.
When the user gets to the gallery though, it simply displays images from an album.
How do I...

1.) Get it so that it displays different thumbnails of albums instead of thumbnails of photos?

2.) Get the font size in the embedded version of Gallery in Joomla! to be larger and more readable (the embedded version has smaller, scaled down text)

3.) Show the options in the embedded version allowing users to login, upload, and tag their photos (along with the other options registered and logged-in users have)

Any one who can offer any help at all, I'd truly appreciate it! Thank you!

2.) Add the following to your Joomla template_css.css to increase the font size

 #gallery{
 color            : black;
 font-size: 90% !important;
}

3.) The G2 Bridge will sync the users between Gallery2 and Joomla. If a user is logged in through the Joomla frontend he should see the same options as in the standalone Gallery.

kai_tom thank you so much for the suggestions!
I know how the bridge works, however, when logged in, it still does not show the options on the left hand side. I'm still not sure why, any idea as to why this might be?

I actually figured this out myself! Haha, wow. :)

However! I've run into a different problem, I have the sidebar viewable when logged in, but it only shows the option for RSS Feed, nothing else, like "Add Album", etc. When I'm logged into site admin directly in Gallery2 it shows all of those, but when I go into my embedded version in Joomla! it does not. Why is this..?
P.S. - When I log into Gallery2 directly I am logging in as the administrator, when I log in in the embedded version I am just logging in as another user.
