I finaly got it to work.

However, I wish I could use "PHP Includes" instead of hard html code in the theme.tpl.

Cheers,

Here is what I did:

You have to edit the theme.tpl file in your Theme directory. Copy that file into a new folder called "local" inside the "themes" folder. Gallery will treat it as the main theme.tpl file. This is done so that the original theme.tpl file stays un-touched. So in case you screw something up, you always have the original file.

Read this page: http://codex.gallery2.org/index.php/Gallery2:How_to_visually_embed_Gallery_in_your_own_website_by_editing_theme_templates

Most importantly this section:

<html>
<head>
<!-- HTML and Smarty tags -->

<!-- YOUR OWN CSS AND JAVASCRIPT -->

</head>
<body>

<!-- YOUR HTML / INCLUDE HEADER -->

<!-- more HTML and Smarty tags -->
{if $theme.pageType == 'album'}
{g->theme include="album.tpl"}
{elseif $theme.pageType == 'photo'}
{g->theme include="photo.tpl"}
{elseif $theme.pageType == 'admin'}
{g->theme include="admin.tpl"}
{elseif $theme.pageType == 'module'}
{g->theme include="module.tpl"}
{elseif $theme.pageType == 'progressbar'}
{g->theme include="progressbar.tpl"}
{/if}
<!-- more HTML and Smarty -->

<!-- YOUR HTML / INCLUDE FOOTER -->

</body>
</html>

Also, keep in mind that:
If you need to insert JavaScript code, you will have to add {literal}your JavaScript code{/literal} tags around it.

Cheers,
Nima
