Getting started using Gallery 2

You have to ask specific questions, to get better answers. What is the look you want? Lets start with the rest of the site first. URL? Then you can build a template file that looks like the rest of the pages in your site and we can build a 'wrapper' for gallery.

I guess it should say servers hard disk. The name of the album can be different from the name it is stored on the server.

you will need to edit :

  <div class="owner summary">
    {g->text text="Owner: %s" arg1=$item.owner.fullName|default:$item.owner.userName}
  </div>

in modules/core/templates/blocks/ItemInfo.tpl

read the directions at the top of the file.

you mean the thumbs?
album.tpl {$child.title|markup}

one is the title of the album and the other is the breadcrumb.
http://codex.gallery2.org/Gallery2:How_Do_I_Remove_the_Root_Album_Link
or if you want to do it just on the root album
album.tpl change

                {if !empty($theme.item.title)}
                <h2> {$theme.item.title|markup} </h2>
                {/if}

to

               {if empty($theme.parents)}
				{if $theme.pageType != 'admin'}
				{else}
					{if !empty($theme.item.title)}
                		<h2> {$theme.item.title|markup} </h2>
				{/if}
				{/if}
                	{/if}

Some themes like PG and Carbon as well as others have a user interface for some of this like what you want here.
Do you want to create a custom theme? Then you will have to edit and make one: http://gallery.menalto.com/node/70763#comment-255788

Ask one question at a time because if my answers don't work or make sense then the rest of the thread becomes very confusing.

Hi again,

Per your guidance, I made changes to theme.tpl and iteminfo.tpl.

Do you think I made an erroneous change to one of these templates?

I've been reviewing them and can't see the problem...do you want me to send you the latest versions so you can see what I did?

heartfelt thanks,
Janine

Hi Dave,

Thank you...the remedy worked!

One last question concerning appearance...

Should I be modifying iteminfo.tpl to do the following:

I'd like to change the comment at the root album level from "Size: 3 photos (12 total)" to "Size: 3 counties (12 total)"

Then at the album level, I'd like to change the comment from "Size: 3 photos (12 total)" to "Size: 3 cemeteries (12 total)".

The sub-albums look fine except that it would be great to move the date and size over more to the right because at the root level, it's running into my description.

Thank you so much for your time and for being patient with me!

Janine

Hi Dave,

I tried to put a long "if" statement covering the root album, then the album level followed by the sub-album level but I couldn't get my statements to work. I'm sorry but I don't know enough about this language to make the code work.

Er...what should I do?

sincere thanks,
Janine

I have not used it yet, but after reading the topic I am going to use it. This will help me in making my own photo gallery in my computer.
