Does anyone actually have a working D6 / G2.3svn / G2 embedded setup ?

I was curious if anyone actually had a full working embedded Gallery 2.3svn / Drupal 6 site?
There seem to have been a lot of updates to both the stand alone and embedded versions lately, and after seeing many many posts with people having issues with the Gallery URL Rewrites and embedding it into Drupal, I was wondering if anyone had successfully accomplished an integration yet, and if so, could they post their steps and .htaccess files for us to all compare with our own. Cause I believe the problem lies within those 2 files and there is some sort of conflict between the two.

Thanks ahead of time!

(p.s. yes I have fully read and re-read and re-read many times all the installs and posts and updates and everything else...)

Hey thanks a lot for the very detailed install. I plan to try this out tonight and see how it goes. I will report back my findings!

Thanks again.

Yes, my D6, G2.3, G2 is all working nicely, except I can't get the g2image icon to show up even though it says it's installed properly.

Ok I have pretty much everything working now. The .htaccess has a lot to do with it. After getting that sorted out, I am able to click on images and they show up like they should, BUT, they redirect to a page that removes all Drupal menus from the top and side of the page. I have a feeling this is still a re-direct path issue.

Here are my TWO .htaccess files. One is the Drupal file that is in the Drupal root dir. The second is the Gallery2 file that is in /gallery2/ root dir.

I have go it work in D6.2 but I have problem to get the full size image open in new window as it mess up my Theme

http://kurdistanica.com/?q=gallery&g2_itemId=57

I think the G2 dev team has done great job and I can not figure out how they have missed such a basic function. Sometimes the full version is a 1200x1400 for maps, and detailed images. I hope that they will consider to add this feature to the setting for full size image display.

My Drupal 6.3 works great with G2.3 RC1 but I am getting crazy with the full size image opens in my Drupal them and mess up every thing. The G2 team has not solved this problem even in G2.3 RC1. It should be a simple tick-box to select whether the full version should be open in the same page or new window. This has stopped me to full use G2 as many or my record are full size maps.

Then the case that you can say if the image is taken prior to 1970. This is very annoying and it is still a problem in latest RC1.

I just installed Gallery2 [6.x-1.x-dev] on Drupal 6.6

The one problem I am having is the same as described above:

http://dev.craigshoemaker.com/gallery - the G2 main page, displays the menus

But when you click on an Album to view, the top navigation and sidebar menus do not display on the page ...

http://dev.craigshoemaker.com/index.php?q=gallery&g2_itemId=18

Does anyone have a solution for this? I am new to Drupal so I may be missing something obvious!

Well move G2 into a new folder. That will cause the Drupal module to not find it and it should restore your Drupal site. I would then turn off clean URL's and move G2 back and see if that works.
