Include imageblock in sidebar

Hi, I'm trying to include an imageblock from gallery2 in my wordpress page but have trouble configuring the permalink settings amongst other things.

Problem: Whether I insert the g2_sidebarimageblock(); option or the g2 image_block code, the relative link from the thumbnail (which on the other hand shows up just fine i wordpress) gets messed up.

Instead of
http://www.mydomain.com/gallery2/main.php/v/Albumname/

the output is:
http://www.mydomain.com/wordpress/v/Albumname/

Is there someway to alter this link setting through wpg2 or elsewhere? Ps I need to have the url rewrite module "on" in gallery2.

Thanks in advance

What I want is to include an imageblock in my wordpress page that links to the gallery2 directory - like a random image. I guess what you're saying is that this is not feasible through WPG2. Hence I tried using the ImageBlock code from gallery instead. But if I use the this ImageBlock the link still takes me to the wordpress directory.

The reason for wanting this is quite straight forward - I want to show a random image in wordpress that links to gallery (for further browsing of images).

Attach the ImageBlock code I use - just in case

<?php
 if (!headers_sent()) {
header('Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8');
}
 require_once(dirname(__FILE__) . '/gallery2/embed.php');
 $ret = GalleryEmbed::init(array('fullInit' => true, 'embedUri' => '/gallery2/main.php'));
 if ($ret) {
     print 'GalleryEmbed::init failed, here is the error message: ' . $ret->getAsHtml();
     exit;
 }
 list ($ret, $bodyHtml, $headHtml) = GalleryEmbed::getImageBlock(array('blocks' => 'randomImage',
                                                                 'show' => 'title'));
 if ($ret) {
     print 'GalleryEmbed::getImageBlock failed, here is the error message: ' . $ret->getAsHtml();
     exit;
 }
?>

Hiya janbanan,

As has been posted several times we do not support directly linking to Gallery2 which is what you are doing by pointing to the embed.php file due to issues with the correct handling of G2 Sessions (this has been discussed in a number of different threads..)

FYI Linking to the WPG2 Page has the exact same functionality (without the session issues and the problems with G2 security settings) except as I posted the links will be relative to your blog..
