Hello,

I have installed Gallery2 into Drupal 5. I was able to see my gallery by clicking the link in my menu but I have now lost it. I tried to activate a block that would show the gallery grid on the front page, but in so doing I have now lost my gallery and am being told that I have to "configure your embedded gallery". Here are the errors:

* Embedded Gallery2 Status:
o 'URI of Gallery2' variable: Success
o PHP Memory Limit: Success
o Gallery2 Init: Success
o Gallery2 Image Block Module Status: Error
+ The Image Block Module is not installed.
o Gallery2 Image Frame Module Status: Warning
+ The Image Frame Module is not installed.
o Gallery2 URL Rewrite Module Status: Advisory
+ Either the URL rewrite module is not installed or the version is too old.
o Overall Status: Error
+ You need to fix the above errors before Gallery2 will be embedded in Drupal.
* The configuration options have been saved.
* Unable to initialize embedded Gallery. You need to configure your embedded Gallery.

I have searched for "Image Block Module" at Drupal.org without success, ditto for "Image Frame Module". I installed the module called "Image" and have enabled it prior to getting this error.

Any help will be appreciated.

The 'Image Block' (http://codex.gallery2.org/Gallery2:Modules:imageblock) and 'Image Frame' (http://codex.gallery2.org/Gallery2:Modules:imageframe) modules are not for Drupal but for Gallery2. Thats why you did find anything on drupal.org. You can get these modules on the G2 download page (http://codex.gallery2.org/Gallery2:Download#Modules). The 'minimal' and 'typical' G2 packages do not contain these modules by default, the 'full' package does.

Edit: I should also invite you to try the new 5.x-2.x series of gallery module (http://drupal.org/node/138771), that will become the new standard module shortly.

Thank you profix98! I am currently working to get those modules installed and figure out about the need for an updated URL re-write module for the script.

I'm not much of a php guy. Would you say that it is still a good idea to install the new beta of the script, even for a not real codie kinda guy?

Thanks again for your asistance,

The new beta is almost ready to be released. You should be able to use it without being a coder/php guy ...

OK, now I'm getting this:

Gallery2 Image Assist (g2image) Status: Warning

* g2image does not seem to be installed for Standalone mode in the required directory (<drupal_path>/modules/gallery/g2image), or the directory is not writable. Please see the INSTALL.txt for instructions.

Where do I find this module?

Thanks,

You can download G2Image at http://g2image.steffensenfamily.com/. Unpack the tool in a subfolder of your gallery module named 'g2image'. Thats it. You should now have a link below the textarea (on node forms) to insert images using the G2Image browser.
