I am hoping that this is an easy one so i will keep it simple.
i have an older geeklog site with a custom theme that has gallery 1 embedded in it. The user can navigate throughout the whole site with the same interface seamlessly.
I want to move the Geeklog install to 1.7.1 and the Gallery to Gallery 2.
I have migrated both successfully and they are running fine.
HOWEVER, I can find no means of EMBEDDING gallery 2 into the Geeklog theme. I thought g2bridge was going to do that (and maybe it does, i cant find how though) so I am hoping someone can tell me if i am missing something really obvious. The docs for G2Bridge are a bit higgledy piggledy...
Thoughts? Anyone?

As the author of the G2Bridge plugin, insults will get you nowhere.
And including information like... a url or anything helpful would just be ridiculous right?

No offense intended - I didnt mean it as an insult - I was just having trouble with the docs as the documentation of simple stuff is hard to find so I am a bit frustrated. Installation went smooth, but I dont even know if G2Bridge is what i needed, but there is no info anywhere on how to embed Gallery 2 into geeklog like you could gallery 1.
This is the old site and they like the way it works we just wanted to upgrade function to a newer Geeklog and Gallery

You can have a look at the new site under construction (with an incomplete theme) at ...
http://www2.erotasbuildingcorp.com[*2]
...the gallery is at
http://www2.erotasbuildingcorp.com/gallery2[*3]
...the g2bridge is at
http://www2.erotasbuildingcorp.com/G2Bridge[*4]
But I dont know how this would be useful information if I cant figure out if it is supposed to do what I want to do which is why I didnt post it before.

So when you installed G2Bridge, it brought your site down?
Make sure the imageBlock module is installed in gallery admin -> plugins
I swear I added a check for that.

BTW, to answer your question, G2Bridge is intended to wrap your gallery into your Geeklog site.
Like mine[*5]
But G2 can also be easily embedded anywhere -
a few samples[*6] .
I've literally done hundreds some as slideshows, some as lyteboxes some ajax....

No the site is not broken. www2. is a development site for me to migrate the stuff at the www. location and work out the bugs. I am in the early stages of recreating the theme that is on www. on www2. so www2. is a mess...
Have a look at the way
http://www.erotasbuildingcorp.com/gallery[*7] looks - and the fact that there is no gallery logo or gallery sidebar navigation... That is what I want. What am i missing.

Actually used the matrix theme on
this construction site[*9] , edited the gallery logo out, bgcolors etc.
I think Dan ultimately
released[*10] the theme we developed here on geeklog.net as "Builder Theme"
BTW, I'm one of the builders in CU-Underconstruction

Very cool - I am not sure what you did there or how or why... Clearly you have the gallery embedded in a custom interface but how? I think I get that I am going to need to edit some files in gallery 2 itself. Is that correct? if so, which? I looked at an archive of the old gallery embed setup and there were files replaced so that gallery would use the geeklog theme...
Also - on the
http://www2.erotasbuildingcorp.com/G2Bridge/index.php[*13] page it looks like the gallery is being scaled down a bit. Am I right?

Now this is getting annoying - I can only access the page from one computer in my house. Since when did geeklog lock out users based on macID's. you saw it last night though didnt you?

I have waited far too long to do this. THANK YOU.
The g2bridge is working well despite my lamenting the learning curve to get it running. i know I could do it with ease now (I had to do it 3 times to make my content upgrade properly. Don't know why, but I don't think it was the g2bridge).
Anyways - THANK YOU
supersidr for this plug-in.
Now that i have said that maybe you could help me with one more little problem I am having so I don't have to do it from scratch a 4th time. When anywhere in geeklog the path to the random images is off by one level. It works when in the gallery but not anywhere in geeklog. To see what I mean, have a look at
http://www.erotasbuildingcorp.com[*15] and click on the random image block on the left. It does NOT go to the gallery page for that image.
In a nutshell, where is the path for the random image block specified?
Thanks for your help.

It's actually a bug in gallery's imageblock module:
gallery2/modules/imageblock/classes/ImageBlockHelper.class line 199:
Text Formatted Code
$ImageBlockData['forceFullUrl'] = 0;
to:
Text Formatted Code
$ImageBlockData['forceFullUrl'] = 1;
Glad you got it working.
Looks pretty good in
my new theme[*16] too

Ill bet that is it indeed but I cant edit the file - since the installer installed it it has the installer as its owner and not my user - I got a request in to my server admin to change the ownership on the file so I CAN edit it. I might be bugging you about changing your clear theme a little to suit my clients needs...

The
preinstaller[*17] has a utility to fix filesystem permissions.
OR you can delete the file and upload a new copy.

The preinstaller requires opennasedir apparently... Ill wait for my admin.
