I installed the most recent version of Gallery selecting the phpBB2 integration option, but when the installation finished, I went to phpbb2 and nothing was there. I went to my phpbb2 control panel and nothing was there either. Are you supposed to install gallery in a special directory or inside the phpbb2 directory in order for the integration to happen?

Thank you

Tony H.

There is a HOWTO document in the Gallery/contrib/phpbb2 folder :)

Thank you. One other question.

I would like to have Gallery integrated with phpBB2, but I also want to have a mirror copy on another page of my website without looking like it is inside phpbb2. So when the phpbb2 users upload something, it will also show on that other section of my website. Is that easy to do?

Also, if I have to move the already installed gallery to another directory, do I have to uninstall it or can I just rename my current gallery directory to modules. If I have to uninstall how do I do it? Is deleting the gallery directory enough?

Thank you once again for your help.

tony``, you can symlink your existing Gallery install into the phpbb2/modules directory (google for syntax) - and then it's accessible from withing phpbb2 and standalone.

As for separating the contents, that not possible, unless you set the view permissions on the album in question to LOGGEDIN - that way only users that are logged in can view it (and when users are logged in phpbb2, they are also logged in to Gallery)

Where is the Gallery/contrib/phpbb2 "how to doc" for phpBB2 located? Can't find it in gallery, is it in phpbb2? If yes where?
