Hello

Started using Gallery3 for the first time 2 days ago. Hats off to the developers, you've done a great job.

I installed the pages module as I'd like to add some static pages to my site. I can create the pages and add the link but the links are all broken or invalid. I'm using Gallery 3.0.1, and downloaded the latest version of the pages module.

If I create a page called xyz, then the link will be sitename.com/pages/xyz

I don't know if this is supposed to be a filesystem path relative to the document root or some kind of db magic. Regardless, the files don't exist.

Any help would be huge. Love to get this working.

Also.... what the heck are tags and why would I want to use them? Sorry, I'm new to this stuff.

Thanks

Why such a old version?
Start over with 3.0.4

Why such an old version, it's what my hosting provider provides. A2hosting. Ok, I'll upgrade it and see what happens.

Any light on what the tags are? Are they something that aids in searchs? or google ?

Thanks from a very dry Ottawa.

Tags are like virtual albums.

I guess upgrading fixes pages. Super, thanks. But it hoses up the brown theme, at least on Chrome / Mac OSX. No worries though.

I'll give you a tip then, since your from Edmonton AB. Buy shares in Mart Resources, they are from just around the corner from you.

Cheers

Sorry, I didn't name the theme properly. Not brown theme, but browny wind. What happens is all my albums are stacked up on top of each other on the main page. Using Chrome on Mac or Firefox on Windows XP. I suspect it doesn't matter what client I use. I can set the theme up and you can look at it if it helps? seriousbirder.com Right now I have the clean canvas theme and it's fine. But I'd like the browny wind, it's really slick.

Thanks

floridave a few months ago wrote:
If updating G3 to G3.0.3 and experience issues:
Replace the views/page.html.php in the browny_wind theme with the one that comes with the wind theme.
That should fix the issue until the author of the theme updates the rest of the theme to work with G3.0.3.

I guess he never got round to working on it. I guess I have to do it.
