Hello, I am going to start work with a gallery for a Wildlife Tourism firm and would like to know if there is a way i can use Gallery3 to get the result i want. Firstly, there will be no categories, each one of the albums will be separate and independent from each other. I can manually add the date to the title of the album to avoid confusion. But these will be on the left bar of the gallery. On the right there will be the latest uploading 9 albums in an descending order, with a thumbnail and the title of the album. On the left ofcourse there will be probably 200 albums listed, so i would like to have a vertical scrollbar so that the pagesize doesnt grow very big. Thanks for your help, Regards,

G3 can be customized to what you are after.
You will need some HTML skill for the layout you are after and some php skill to develop a module for the album list on the left sidebar.

Hello,
Thanks a lot for the reply. But i would really like to have some good pointers, as to how I am supposed to go about it. I am very very good in HTML and do understand basic php so will able to do the code edits etc.
To do them though, some pointers'd be good, because i have used this gallery script before.
Regards,
Mihir.

Duplicate and deploy your copy of the default theme
Simple:
1. Make a copy of the 'default' theme folder to 'mytheme'
2. Edit /themes/mytheme/theme.info to change the description and title of your theme.
Details:
http://codex.gallery2.org/Gallery3:Tutorials:Themes
You can now start modifying the the view templates in 'mytheme' under the 'views' directory as well as css files in 'css' directory. The views templates are mostly html so you should nat have much trouble with that.
