Implementing gallery2 on a drupal site means anything from a link to integration using gallery.module to custom code to time the dual login accounts.
What do you want the result to be?
There are inter-release issues - I assume 2.4 of gallery but what drupal?
If you have a coherent statement of work, please contact me. No time to waste, sorry.
PM or a post here are both ok.

" I tried, unsuccessfully, to install gallery2 on my website.
To give you ok to go for implementing the gallery on my site, I would like to know few things:
1. will this gallery interfere with the image gallery that i have already on the site and to the image module?
2. will there be option for each member to have his/her own album with thumbnails from their gallery on their profile?
3. Is it possible to have thumbnails on different blocks on the site, which are not on the gallery itself?
4. Is it possible to have other content types in the gallery, like videos or audios?
5. Is there option to upload few images at once.
6. Is it possible to set the albums to private? I have the Private Nodes module on site, can the gallery work with this module? Do you know this module?
Thank you for your time, the prices seem very logical.
In case we start to work on it, when can you start and how much time do you think it will take you, consider that there are few fractions of the gallery on my server.

Hello. The answer to all your questions is "yes". This is all you have to do:
And if you've done or not some these steps, please bare with me. Log on to your database in mysql. Clean out your database if your using mysqle. And if your using the same database along with drupal then drop all the tables with the g suffix. Everything else without the g suffix belongs to Drupal. If you don't have one, you can get one with your hosting company and they will provide you with the database name, (if you hadn't given them one), a user name and password.
Next, upload Gallery2 to the server. Once on the server, open the index.php file in the Gallery2 folder with your web browser and the installation starts from there. It will walk you through. During the installation process, it will ask for the host directory, the loggin information for the database which is the info that your hosting company gave you. It should be something like this: unix-8.nethere.com . Then the rest of the installation is easy from there with it walking you the rest of the way through. In Drupal on one of your pages, you need to create a link that points to the main.php page in Gallery2. So when your clients click on that link, it opens up in Gallery, and you should be all set. Once your in Gallery, log in and go to Site Admin and set your settings. Then go to the plug-ins link, update your plugins and install whatever is not installed. Go out of Site Admin and Create an Album. (You need to do this enable to activate and do the things that you need to do with video, sound and multiple uploads and such. Depending upon the theme, you will be limited until you create an album. Open the album and somewhere on that page, click on a button drop down link or sidebar link that say's Edit Album. In the General settings tab, name your album. Continue to click on the other tabs and adjust the settings to your needs. Now in the side bar you will see Add Items. This is where you can add your music, video, photos, whatever you want. Once there, you will see a link at the immediate bottom of the 2 Browse buttons that say's More Upload boxes. Click on that to get another Browse button for another file to upload. You can keep clicking for more boxes up to at least 10 or 12 times. when your ready, then click Add Items at the very bottom of the page. Now go out of the Edit page(by clicking on a link in the side bar that say's Back To Album.)All your files will be there. How you want them displayed depends on your settings in the theme of that album or in the theme from Site Admin. Alright?
Any questions, please let me know.
