I'm a new user and have good look getting Gallery up and running, but I have a question I am hoping someone can help with.
I found the way to add a drop down box to the sub-albums, but I haven't found how to MOVE that box to underneath the images.
I know the same question was asked earlier in a thread, and i found the info to create the box, but not move the box. So, if
anyone could help that would be great, thanks.
rickntrin, How does this relate to this tread?
Why not start a new thread and reference the thread you found the code in. It makes it easier for other to follow.
I'm sorry. I thought this would be the right thread because that's where I found Manaans original post:

I saw your webiste its absolutely fantastic. I am a psychiatrist by profession and an absolute novice. I have struggled in designing what I have done so far. Do take a look. www.opticalpercept.com
or http://www.twilightbridge.com/op/gallery/ (this is the direct link)
I am intriguesd by how you have managed to put drop down menus under each album for subalbums. How could I go about doing something simillar. As most of my albums have subalbums, and subsub albums and so on peole need to click no of timesbefore they get to the photos. Could you please let me know how I could do something simillar to what u have done.
Any help will be much appreciated.

I'll go repost in the other thread. Thank you anyway.

Hey guys
I know this is an old thread but Im using version 1. I followed Wolfs tutorial and it worked perfectly, Except, all the links and paths from source page have changed. For example, the source page www/index.html is now www/gallery/index.html, this goes for all the image files on the stie too. The frame structure is perfect, but I'm missing all my content. I know there must be an easy solution for this, I probably just missed a step, can anyone help?

Hey guys...
Very helpful tips.. I have a question though as I read somewhere (I thought in this thread) there was an issue with the TD and the TD colspan messing up alignment on an embedded table.
I can't seem to find where the extra TD needs to go on my site. I've installed the gallery into a base template. I have a top header (imported JS files), I have a left (Gallery area) Right (Right Nav links/ads) and a Bottom footer (ads)
It's a pretty simple four cell table that I put gallery into, but I'm lost from where all the TDs and Close TDs go.
I edited the header and the footer wrappers.
wrapper.header.default
wrapper.footer.default
I'm also trying to figure out why the text on the right isn't the same as the Gallery text links.
1: I edited the header and footer wrapper files and uploaded them. they do what they are supposed to but my header images are off center, and i dont know why.
2: as you can see the gallery expands to fit the screen, and I need it to stay in the middle within the space of those images.
future problems i see:
when i do get it to appear within the designated space i want the designated area to be white, however the background should be gray. here is an example http://www.gtfactory.jp/poweredbymax/news.php
any help with these issues would be much appreciated.
I thank you in advance.
Peace,
THURO

1. edit /html_wrap/gallery.header.default and save as gallery.header <table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
change to <table width="75%" border="0" align="center" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
2. edit the css (screen.css.default and save as screen.css) body tag

i've been clicking like mad trying to figure out why i can't find my HTML_WRAP directory.
i've used Dreamhost to add Gallery to my server space, and it all works well. after reading around trying to easily incorporate it into my existing html tempate, i understand it's simply a matter of editing these magical files in the "html_wrap" directory.
EXCEPT, i can't find one. extremely frustrating. i'm looking under the gallery directory set up on my server space (ourknottywedding.com/gallery) but with no luck.
what's up with that?
i'd appreciate any input (hopefully constructive).

G2 does not have html_wrap dir.
This is a G1 forum.
I got the hang of what you were saying and in my particular case the code was actually different but it was simply a variant from your code, in the end mine looks like this:
I modified the screen.css file and it looks good and i added some images to test.
there are only 3 problems which were encountered.
the top images are not centered.
the images in my html code of the wrapper.header dont appear centered on the screen when the window is maximized. I checked my code and i put those images into a table, the table is maximized and there are no spaces or extra characters after the table or any of the images.
when you click the image to go into the thumbnals of the album it still displays at 100%.
I know this is a simple fix, all I have to do is insert
into the code, but which file is the one that i need to modify?
and finally
the header and footer pictures are not present once in full view of picture.
if you click on the thumbnail to get the fullsize picture the images at the top and on the bottom do not appear. i know where to insert the pictures on each specific album so that they do appear but that really serves me no purpose. is there a way to have them appear? maybe call wrapper.header and wrapper.footer from another file?
well anyway i know someone has to have encountered these problems before, again I thank you in advance.
Peace,

I have found 2 tools that are invaluable the firefox browser and the web development tool that allows you to Make live edits to the CSS of a web page..
Once you have them both installed....
select edit css and under the 'information' dropdown check display ID & class details.
Edit your CSS and you will see the results. Once you have this the way you want, upload your edited css to the server.
This thread is old so start a new one with spacific questions if you get stuck.
This may be a very silly question, but I am looking for a template or skeleton of an "empty" gallery page, ie a page that contains the navigation, header and footer etc, but no photo / album / etc. I would like to create a fresh page that looks and feels as if it is part of my gallery, but contains material that isn't in the gallery.
Could anyone point me in the right direction, please?

Any suggestions on what I need to do to bring that footer up closer to the bottom of the photo albums? Is it in the tutorial soemwhere?
TIA

Here is the link to my gallery http://www.gtfactory.jp/poweredbymax/gallery

1: I edited the header and footer wrapper files and uploaded them. they do what they are supposed to but my header images are off center, and i dont know why.
2: as you can see the gallery expands to fit the screen, and I need it to stay in the middle within the space of those images.

Thanks for your help Floridave.
I got the hang of what you were saying and in my particular case the code was actually different but it was simply a variant from your code, in the end mine looks like this:
<table width="900px" bgcolor="FFFFFF" border="0" align="center" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">I modified the screen.css file and it looks good and i added some images to test.
there are only 3 problems which were encountered.
