Hi,
I have a drupal/gallery2 integrated site. Everyone has done a great job, it works very well, and I have had very few problems with the integration.

Drupal maintains my user table, and I added custom user fields, but I want to access those custom fields from the gallery2 album pages. Has anyone done something like that ? The gallery2 could would have to connect to a second database.

I handled this by creating a cron job that shuffles data from drupal user table to gallery2 usertable, where it is needed for my album and photo pages. I have never touched drupal code, so this was the most expedient solution.

I have since learned Drupal (drupal.org) has a discussion form for gallery2 integration, and that might have been a better place to post.
