   3  Overview
   4  ---------
   5  This module embeds Gallery2 (http://gallery.menalto.com) inside your Drupal
   6  installation to support photos, videos and other content. There is support for
   7  2 types of image blocks and a navigation menu, inserting of images into nodes
   8  via an input filter, TinyMCE support, syncing of users between the two
   9  applications, ...
  10  
  11  Note that you will need to download and install Gallery2
  12  (http://gallery.menalto.com/downloads) prior to installing this module.
  13  
  14  Requirements
  15  ------------
  16  * Gallery 2.3
  17  * Drupal 6.x
  18  
  19  Installation
  20  ------------
  21  
  22  1. Install Gallery 2 and Drupal (see their respective installation documents).
  23  Gallery2 should be *inside* your Drupal installation so that it's accessible
  24  by the same website. If you installed Gallery somewhere else, you can create
  25  a symlink to it from inside your Drupal site or you can move Gallery2.
  26  
  27  Warning - Do not name your G2 directory 'gallery', call it something else
  28  (e.g. 'gallery2'). Calling it 'gallery' will cause a conflict with the Drupal
  29  gallery.module as Drupal assumes that http://www.example.com/gallery refers
  30  to the Drupal module.
  31  
  32  2. Ensure that 'Image Block' and 'Image Frame' plugins are installed and
  33  activated in Gallery2. Check them in the non-embedded Gallery.
  34  
  35  3. Log out of Gallery 2 (non-embedded) - people have reported errors relating
  36  to sessions if this is not done.
  37  
  38  4. Copy gallery.module to your Drupal modules/ directory.
  39  
  40  5. Enable the gallery module in Administer ->  Site building -> Modules in
  41  your Drupal installation (admin/build/modules).
  42  
  43  6. Go to Administer ->  Site configuration -> Gallery (admin/settings/gallery)
  44  and configure the path to your Gallery2 installation using the install wizard
  45  provided there.
  46  
  47  7. Enable the 'Gallery Block' in Administer -> Site building -> Blocks
  48  (admin/build/block).
  49  
  50  - Optional -
  51  8. The Gallery user administration is now available in Administer -> User
  52  management -> Gallery users (admin/user/gallery). You should at least check
  53  the 'User settings' (admin/user/gallery/settings).
  54  
  55  9. G2Image (Gallery G2Image module):
  56  If you install G2Image (http://g2image.steffensenfamily.com) as either a
  57  standalone or TinyMCE plugin you will have an excellent image chooser for
  58  Drupal/Gallery2.
  59  
  60  Support
