Please help me figure out what I’m doing wrong in getting Gallery to embed in phpBB2. After applying the phpBB2.patch, the forum show’s the link (without icon) however the gallery does not appear when the link is executed. Gallery does run when I point my browser directly at it. This is a new/unpublished website so there is no fear of losing data. Here are the steps I took:
1. Host has phpBB 2.0.5 pre-installed; I updated to 2.0.8 with change files. Forum works.
2. FTP’d gallery files to /phpBB2/modules/ per the documentation in the contrib/phpbb folder.
3. Configured gallery per the wizard; selected the option to embed in phpBB2. Gallery operates – able to login and add photos.
4. FTP’d modules.php and phpBB2.patch to /phpBB2/
5. Logged-in to site with puTTy and executed the “patch –p1 <phpBB2.patch

i could be wrong here, since i havent actually tried doing it that way myself - but im pretty sure the patch file points to /templates/subSilver/ - if your theme is in any other directory (for instance, if you are using a different theme), then it wont work...
try either changing the path (if this IS the problem) - or failing that, try doing the manual changes...

Thanks for the reply, Mad...

I'm using the subsilver template, so I don't think that's the problem. When I click the link to gallery in phpBB2 I get a blank page and the URL shows:

xxxxxxxx.org/phpBB2/modules.php?op=modload&name=gallery&file=index&sid=0618af3c8e16906be1cd3d3ea4b72e49

I have no idea where to look or what to do, being the total newbie that I am. TIA.
