Gallery 2.x

Hi, all. We're getting lots of requests for G2 demo sites, so I figured I'd start a thread for people to post links to their G2 installs so that we can get a feel for what's out there. Post your G2 link here and a short description of what it's about. We're especially interested in descriptions of any customizations that you've performed (new modules, template changes, new themes/layouts). If you've done any of that, try to give us an overview of what you did and why. Thanks!

I know, it has been discussed from times to times, but this thread should be ultimate, detailled answer, why you need PHP Safe_Mode in gallery and gallery2.

An argument was that gallery needs the permission to create its own directories.
My suggestion:
When in installed in Safe Mode, all Files are owned by the webserver (or www or whatever).
PHP can chmod directories on the fly to 777 and do what ever it wants. In the end, chmod them back and everything is fine.

OK, while I was typing this, I think I figured it out. (The stuff below the + signs is what I had typed up for reference) I basically just bypassed the index.php, and created an index.php with the following code:

<meta HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" content="0; url=./main.php">

New to gallery.

I've been given the task of putting my school's photo library online. We have something like 200,000 images spanning 40 years.

Gallery has a bunch of features I like:
* Fine grained permissions control
* Symlinks
* Nested albums
* Multiple resolutions
* Watermarks.
It goes on.

I would like to integrate G with some form of forum software.

Is anybody aware of a simpler full text search option?

GAH! Okay so all this plug-in and themes and programming stuff is great, but how about something simple, like the summary text I just entered for the 200+ pics in my album also can be shown on individual picture pages?
