Hello everyone. I can configure Mambo 4.5 and Gallery 1.4.4 separately with no problems. However, I'm at a loss at where to begin using Gallery in Mambo. I checked the documentation, and I did see set up instructions for phpnuke. I tried some similar concepts inside Mambo with no luck.

Can someone please help me get moving here?

Thank you,

-Ray

One more thing... I've been trying to follow these directions, but not having any luck:

You will need to install the gallery component:

Installation:
- Install Gallery >=1.4.3 (note that there is popup in the the Gallery Configuration
Wizard to indicate if you will be using Gallery in a standalone or embeded installation.
Select "Standalone" or "Mambo" as desired.

- Install the Gallery component as follows:

- Go to the Mambo component Managment and "install" Gallery as a Mambo component.
Enter the directory that has the gallery.xml file in it
(eg. /home/mysite/public_html/gallery/contrib/mambo)

- Go into the component/gallery backend and fill in the location of the gallery component
(eg. /home/mysite/public_html/gallery)

- Specify the minimum Mambo admin level required to gain editor access to the gallery

- Then add the Gallery component as URL at the place you want.

I changed the install directory to match my scheme, but still no luck. Thanks!

Hi there, same problem here.

I tried:

Menu Manager :: mainmenu

-> New
Select a Component to Add: -> URL Link

That creates an url, where i can specify, in wich window the url will load. But i want the gallery inside mambo..

Got it:

@signe

I set up gallery for inline use in mambo. I tried the standalone URL für gallery, and it worked.

Are there any problems when i use gallery using the standalone link, altought i put gallery in embedded mode ? my gallery dir is not under the mambo dir.

Thanks
