PLEASE HELP ME!!! ~ new to this php thing :S |

in your gallery2embedded.php change line 2 to:
require_once('/hermes/bosweb/web092/b922/glo.bnbbabyware/Gallery/embed.php');

rename the attached to accessories.php and upload to http://www.bnbbabywear.com/accessories.php
This will be where your new gallery page is.
my working copy http://www.flashyourweb.com/gallery2/accessories.php
if you'd like to use my clear theme(like in my example) you can get it here.
There are some options you can set from lines 33 - 41

It looks like maybe you had altered your theme to have the site's header and such.
I'd suggest using my clear theme, its a clean/non-cluttered theme.
And it would be easy to hide certain theme components from the general public.

WOW! you made it look so simple! thanks so much!...ok i guess im almost there with the important bits...here is what is coming up now:
http://www.bnbbabywear.com/accessories.php
i looked through the code to figure out why my header is still showing up in the box below but couldn't figure it out on my own..
also i guess 2 last things.
1) i want the php to link just to the album itself not the main.php how do i do this?
http://www.bnbbabywear.com/Gallery/main.php?g2_itemId=30
2)the clothing pages will draw from different albums from the g2 ( accessories, newborn, ect..) how do i direct each php i create to show or route to a particular album?
ex: this would be where ppl will chose which collection to go to:
http://www.bnbbabywear.com/collections.html
Again i say thanks! your teaching me a lot!

Like I said before, use my clear theme.
You don't need separate scripts for each album, just link to each album separately from your menu.
like for example, your main album is here, whereas your newborns album is here. And any album you create will have its own url.

Ok i uploaded the clear theme but in the themes section in the admin it says its incompatible and has no option to install....i also tried to use the carbon and change the theme to make the background white since it wouldnt let me use the clear but it didnt work either.. :S

Gallery 2.2? Don't tell me, auto install through your host?
that's very old, glad we caught it early.
Get a copy of 2.3.1 and just dump the whole 2.2 and start over.
Just simply empty your database, empty your g2data storage directory and replace the 2.2 files with 2.3
Many things work better in 2.3 - it's worth the upgrade.
