Hi,

I have a website built with HTML. I am converting it to a Drupal 6.12 site with Gallery 2.3 Integration. I have the development site at another web address listed below. I created a sub album for each artist and a Main Album for the Original Artwork.

I have been breaking the site everytime time over the past 6 weeks when I try to manipulate the PHP Code to change the layout. Of course I do not know PHP, but can figure out enough to understand some of the syntax.

I have Layout Tasks to complete....
I need the Drupal site to look like the following:

1. Main Album Page - Original Artwork
HTML Site: http://www.finearttrinidad.com/original_artwork.html
Current Gallery Orig Art Page: http://www.pixazul.com/originalart

2. Subalbum Page - Artist Page:
HTML: http://www.finearttrinidad.com/artists/marsha_bhagwansingh.html
Do not know How to show Artist info (Subalbum info/desc) in right column.
I do have a right column in Drupal with the Simply Modern Theme that I am using.

3. Artpiece Information and display
This needs to open like the popup (see link below this paragraph) or if possible open on another page with information about the artpiece. eg. Description, Size, Medium, Price,
HTML Site: click on any of the photos here ...
http://www.finearttrinidad.com/original_artwork.html

Current Gallery Artpiece info and display in Drupal:
http://www.pixazul.com/index.php?q=gallery&g2_itemId=57

Appreciate any advice or help you can give me ASAP.

Thanks
Christopher

Seems you need more then one entry point for gallery.
Try custom embed pages for each type.

Also especially with the popup, maybe mediaBlock would help.
Hell, maybe a custom slideshow as well? Or even SlideshowPro.

Or maybe you just need to customize the theme for each page type.
Many many options.
