Hey guys!

I managed to download and install the "Formatted URLs" plugin and it does display links on my albums and photos but the problem is that when I link to a picture it just displays that maddening white box with the red X.

Some of you excellent folks sent me suggestions with script that I need to adjust but there's where I get stuck.

I have limited HTML knowledge and I haven't successfully been able to download, edit, and upload HTML (yet). (Download and edit, yes, but when I upload the edits aren't there but that's for the CoffeeCup forums.)

I have Gallery2.3 and I'm using the Carbon theme and, like I said, there are copyable URL links showing but they're broken.

Thanks to those who've helped me get this far and also to those willing to help a mentally challenged noob... hehe

I'll try to provide any and all info you folks might need to resolve this frustrating issue. Just let me know what you need!

FAQ: What information is required when I ask for help in the forums?

Here's my system info:

Last Run Details:

Gallery URL = http://www.theycallmemarcoporno.com/gallery/main.php
Gallery version = 2.3 core 1.3.0
API = Core 7.54, Module 3.9, Theme 2.6, Embed 1.5
PHP version = 5.2.8 cgi-fcgi
Webserver = Apache
Database = mysql 5.0.67.d7-ourdelta-log, lock.system=flock
Toolkits = ArchiveUpload, Exif, Gd
Acceleration = none, none
Operating system = Linux p3nlh092.shr.prod.phx3.secureserver.net 2.6.18-92.1.10.el5PAE #1 SMP Tue Aug 5 08:14:05 EDT 2008 i686
Default theme = matrix
gettext = enabled
Locale = en_US
Browser = Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 6.0; WOW64; SLCC1; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; Media Center PC 5.0; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET CLR 3.0.30618)
Rows in GalleryAccessMap table = 3
Rows in GalleryAccessSubscriberMap table = 52
Rows in GalleryUser table = 2
Rows in GalleryItem table = 52
Rows in GalleryAlbumItem table = 4
Rows in GalleryCacheMap table = 0

*******************
I've been trying to absorb all of this new Gallery stuff and it looks like I might need ImageMagick or something? I don't know...

It'll take me some time to learn more about making the "phpinfo link" though. I'll share it if/when (I hope) I make it.

Thanks!

Hmmm...

My primary use for the linking of pics is for use on MySpace, Facebook, etc.

Here's a screen cap of how that same pic looks on a posted bulletin with MySpace (with all of the link options shown):

Confusing...

Some CMSs etc don't like urls without extensions so I guess you want to install and activate the http://codex.gallery2.org/Gallery2:Modules:rewrite
to make better urls.

Whoa!

I activated that plugin and all albums and photos were unseeable and I got some "FTP error - file not found" page.

I deactivated it and everything's back to normal (sort of... HA!)

I really appreciate your efforts on this issue but when I try to read (and comprehend) all of the instructions I have a hard time absorbing it all but I'm trying.

Maybe if I just write some HTML script that I can save to Wordpad it will work. I'll just change the file name within the script for each pic manually. It's old school but I think I might be able to share my pics that way.
