hello,

I installed the gallery2 on my server and are happy with the way it looks. Now, how can I make it appear in my web-site?

Is there a piece of code that I include in my <td>&amp;</td> table so that the gallery displays in there?

thanks for any help,

florian

if you plan to customize your g2, first get the latest nightly snapshot.

in the new version
edit themes/matrix/templates/*.tpl
you can use any html there.

you want to edit theme.tpl.

"mplement it into my existing web-site" = customizing.

follow the instructions from my last post please.
in theme.tpl, you can add everything before the opening <td> and everythign after the closing </td>.

hi,

i tried to follow your advice from the first post however I dont have a theme.tpl or the template folder in the matrix folder.

What is a nightly snapshot? I didnt know what that was, so maybe thats why I am missing that file? I downloaded the gallery 2 beta 3 version ...

hope you can help me again, its really appreciated?
are there also documents or other links about implementing into an existing web-site?

thanks

Hello,

If I understand correctly, editing theme.tpl is the same concept as editing the header and footer in Gallery1? If I use Gallery2, is there a way to "include" the entire application into an existing table on my website. In other words, If my website is already utilizing one header and footer for navigation, and I am including content based on a set variable, what file in the gallery doc tree can I include to embed the entire thing?

Thanks!

editing theme.tpl is really the easiest way. you can there include your whole page, you could even do {php}include('path/to/yourHeader.html');{/php}.

the other approach is to use GalleryEmbed...
see the Embedding and Integration sticky topic (link in my signature).
but this total overkill because you don't want to integrate / synchronize user management. if you only want to integrate g2 visually, changing the theme is the way to go.
