Hello,
I've got joomla 1.0.12 and Gallery 2.2.5 with bridge 2.0.14, PHP4.4.8

I want to have recent album outside my gallery but inside the hosting so that gallery is at
http://fireinside.ru/gallery2/
and I want the album button at the top of every page of the site (http://fireinside.ru)

I installed Image block plugin, uninstalled short urls and wrote the following in index.php in the folder where my template is located:
<div class="recalb"><?php @readfile('http://fireinside.ru/gallery2/main.php?g2_view=imageblock.External&g2_blocks=recentAlbum'); ?></div>

I also tried

<div class="recalb"><?php @readfile('http://fireinside.ru/gallery2/main.php?g2_view=imageblock.External&g2_blocks=recentAlbum&g2_show=title'); ?></div>
(show title)

No responce, the album is not shown anywhere. Do I get it right, that there will be the thumbnail of the album?

Great thanks in advance, as this is one of really few issues I've got to solve before running my site already.

P.S. sorry for possible mistakes in my english

http://fireinside.ru/gallery2/main.php?g2_view=imageblock.External&g2_blocks=recentAlbum&g2_show=title
asks for a password, the album must be viewable by all

sorry, but the whole site is passworded. I suppose you wanted to check if the url
http://fireinside.ru/gallery2/main.php?g2_view=imageblock.External&g2_blocks=recentAlbum&g2_show=title
is correct
I've just visited it, it is correct, it shows the thumbnail of the album on a blank page and opens the gallery in http://fireinside.ru/gallery2/

By the way, how do i redirect it to the album, but inside my site? I mean, I have "Gallery" in my menu which opens the gallery inside my joomla site template, and I want the image block to direct me there.

it would be something along the lines of:
http://fireinside.ru/my_joomla_embedUrl/index.php?g2_view=imageblock.External&g2_blocks=recentAlbum&g2_show=title

not all servers allow readfile btw

ok i'll check readfile, but I understood nothing about the first part of ur comment.what did u mean by along these lines?
shall i replace "my_joomla_embedurl" with what? gallery2? it's what I did at first. I've just tried to replace "main" in the link to "index" like you wrote - nothing happened, thoug album is still opening when clicking at the url u wrote. Well, pal, do u mind if I ask you to look at the site? [i]I'll pm you with psswd and login, maybe it will clear sth for you.

Would be grateful if you looked what might be the problem

this is the piece of my index.php in joomla template code (I think only <body></body> will make sense)

Sorry, not familiar with joomla urls
isn't it something like:
mysite.com/index.php?option=com_gallery2&g2_view=imageblock.External&g2_blocks=recentAlbum&g2_show=title
or you show me the url to your gallery embedded in joomla

suprsdir, how can I find out which is my url to gallery?

[i]I have in my joomla administration panel in gallery2 setting:

Gallery 2 Path
./gallery2/embed.php

Gallery 2 Url
http://fireinside.ru/gallery2/main.php

Login URL
/index.php?option=com_login

with this

Quote:

mysite.com/index.php?option=com_gallery2&g2_view=imageblock.External&g2_blocks=recentAlbum&g2_show=title

album is still not shown, though if i type it in the browser, i'll get blank page with album thumb wich leads to the album itself

sorry for misunderstanding, but I need to find out how to solve this

it seems readfile is indeed disabled on your server.
I have a flash based minislideshow available on mysite which may be a good alternative.
