Hey all Gallery developers! I think that there is an issue with the fact that you have to use the address on the internet when confing the gallery. I don't know much php but I'm good with HTML and from experance I know there is not real need to have the real address of the website just the document related like so for instance I could have a link that is to /index.html from a document that is in that same dir. why can't you guys do the same? Check out this topic <!-- BBCode Start --><A HREF="http://gallery.menalto.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=phpBB_14&file=index&action=viewtopic&topic=3002&4" TARGET="_blank">http://gallery.menalto.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=phpBB_14&file=index&action=viewtopic&topic=3002&4</A><!-- BBCode End --> (Sorry the link is so long) Perhaps you can give me a fix or put a new option in the next version of gallery. ------- P.S. You guys make the best gallery software for PHP ever :wink: |

Hi TreeWalker.
You make an excellent point, and as mentioned in the "pictures are red x's" thread, Gallery doesn't have to use full URLs everywhere.
HOWEVER,
This "feature" of Gallery :wink: is actually there on purpose. We had so many problems with people not understanding what a "server-relative" (you call it "document related") url (such as /gallery/albums.php) is that we were swamped with questions that took a lot of effort and wasted time to resolve for people. So this change curbed most of those questions. You should, however, be able to put a server-relative URL (such as "/" or "/gallery") in place of what you have for Step 2 of the Config. Wizard, and everything should come out okay.
