I tried searching, and although some answers came up, I thought I read somewhere that the great thing about Gallery 2 is that you can also link to external websites. For example, if it posssible to use gallery2 to link to images from say, photobucket or flickr, and have those images be in my slideshow? Thanks. |

no, you can't.
but you can add images from external websites to your gallery. add items -> from webpage.
docs -> usage -> how to add items -> from web-page.

for adding imaegs from external websites, will it be saved to my server? Or will it just load from the offsite webpage?

> will it be saved to my server?
yes, that's the point. all items of your gallery need to have a local data-file.
the add process allows to fetch files from other servers directly.

here is a silly question... why would you want to?
If you have a gallery... would you not want to push your users to your site? If you post stuff in photobucket, etc... I typically see people use this for Myspace, etc. ... it is possible to create a random picture that opens back to your gallery
not sure of the goal so this may not even be a good idea

It would be similar to module "EmbedVideo": you can view the video in your Gallery2 but the video is in Youtube, Google Video...
Example Album: http://www.fotografiasdegalicia.com/galeria/v/acorunha/fisterra/videos-finisterre/
Example Video Youtube: http://www.fotografiasdegalicia.com/galeria/v/acorunha/fisterra/videos-finisterre/Finisterre.html
I think it is intersting for photos: you could view the photos in your Gallery2 but the photos are in Flickr, Panoramio... possible using API
Anybody knows any module doing this?

A very interesting feature. I would be happy if it give a module for that. On the most webspaces the traffic is flat now, but the space isn't. And for large galleries noticeable, to outsource thousands of photos on an external hoster like photobucket.

I was confused by this link because it just showed me how to add different plugins for different themes.
Do I need to change the setting in main.php page or somewhere else?

I added Gallery 2 to my website as a separate page. I need to add navigation on the bottom of the Gallery page so that people can get back to the other pages of the website without having to click the back arrow on the browser. When [i]I try to add a link, it adds gallery2/ to the url.

I would use the http://codex.gallery2.org/Gallery2:Modules:linksinhead for adding links at the top or edit theme.tpl of the theme you are using to add link(s) to the bottom
have you read this:
