Okay, here's a list of things I absolutely LOVE:

1. Gallery2
2. Checkout module (esp. the ability to use PayPal or email or both)
3. Pedro Gilberto (pg) theme
4. Greypop theme

Here's what I don't love:

1. Checkout links don't show up on the PG or Greypop themes.

Am I doing something wrong? When the same albums are set to the Matrix theme the checkout links show up just fine. They even show up on the GP and greypop themes for me (admin). Just not for guests.

I've tried viewing them on Windows and Mac on IE, Firefox, Netscape, and Safari. Same results in all cases.

So what am I doing wrong? Matrix is okay, but PG and greypop are gorgeous! (Actually I'd love to combine certain elements of each into my own hybrid mix, but that's a project for another year...)

There are several albums there, running several different themes.

Here's another question: Why aren't there any "create new album" links when I set the default theme to Siriux or Rounded Corners? They're nice and minimalistic, but I need those links for the gallery to be functional.

Thank you for any help you can provide!

If you want it so that everyone will see what you see as an admin in the greypop theme edit album.tpl and photo.tpl at the end of the file change this

        {if $user.isAdmin == 1}
        {g->block type=core.ItemLinks useDropdown=true}
        {/if}

to

        {g->block type=core.ItemLinks useDropdown=true}

That makes perfect sense to me. Thank you. I'll implement it as soon as I get a chance.

Hmm. Doesn't seem to be working. I edited it exactly as you said. No change. I thought perhaps it was the cache or something silly like that, but no change. I tried the same in several browsers (clearing cache and refreshing). Nothing at all.

I was so excited, too!

I would especially enjoy help with the PG theme, as it displays more consistently than greypop does. (Sometimes the previous and next thumbnails are to the left and right in greypop, sometimes they're top and bottom. Sometimes they don't show up at all.)

Thank you for your help, as well as for any additional help anyone can provide!

I LIED!!!!

It was something simple after all. I tried viewing the updated .tpl file changes on a new gallery, for which I hadn't set the permissions yet! It works! I am a very happy boy.

Still, the invite for help with PG remains in effect.

Thanks again!

Okay, so I feel like a complete imbecile. It all came together tonight. I had the permissions set correctly on one gallery with PG theme set, and another with the correct block display settings, but neither gallery had both. Now that both have both it works perfectly!

Sorry to whine so much when the problem really was mine.

I can't help you much with the PGTheme, but in the greypop theme the reason the thumbnails switch depends on the picture. The thumbnails show up on the shortest side of the image. So if you have a landscape picture the thumbnails will be above and below and if it is a portrait picture the thumbnails will be to the left and right of the picture. Maybe in a future version I will make it an option for it to do that.

I guess I hadn't recognized the trend.

Given that most every computer screen is landscape in orientation, wouldn't it make sense to always have the thumbnails on the left and right? Seems that way to me.

Thanks for a great theme, and the help with the "add to cart" function!

The reason I did it that way was having was with both thumbnails on the side with a landscape picture you have to scroll left to right (which bothers some people) on lower resolution screens. Your not the only one that has asked me about that so I'll either give an option or change where they go in the next version.
