Hello
I had a quick search to see if this was covered already, but could not find anything - sorry if this is a duplicate.

I could not find any obvious way to use the gallery images in \"normal\" content, ie with the images tab in content creation page. One way I have found as a workaround for this is to configure RSGallery to use /images/stories/rsgallery/ as the base directory for the {original|display|thumb} directories. This makes those directories available for use in content (anything under stories is available).

Is there another way that I am missing to be able to use gallery images in content?

Cheers,

that\'s hilarious anon, nice work.

the other thing you could do is publish a gallery with the pictures, right click a picture and choose Copy Image Location (in firefox).

then you can use that URL to insert images in your content.

create a menu link to the component.

the component is indeed still under construction, but a lot of functionality is allready there

acl however, what you need to restrict acces to certain galleries isn\'t, this is next on our list

I do not really understand what your problem is with RSgallery2. Is it that you can\'t place galleries behind a password?

you could do this by first creating the link to the component and putting that under the special accces level

then login to the frontpage, you would be able to see the components mainpage, now copy the url for lets say the friends gallery and add a menu item url to the menu using that url and give it public acces rights

in theory this should work as they wouldn\'t be able to acces the mainpage, but I\'m not sure because the ItemId remains the same

you can also set the Mainpage link not to show by editing either the source code for rsgallery2 or the css

good luck

you can place different galleries inside galleries, so they are subgalleries

Say you create the main galleries:
Friends Gallery and Vacation Gallery

In Friends Gallery you create the subgalleries of some friends, lets say Gary and Lola

Now first at a link to the RSGallery2 component and give it the special acces level in the menu manager. When you login to the frontend using your superadmin login (I asume you have that) the you will see the two galleries Friends Gallery and Vacation Gallery and in the Friends Gallery are the two subgalleries listed.

When you copy the url to the gallerie Friends Gallery by rightclicking the link then you can use this to add a link to the menu.

Go to the menu manager in your Joomla! backend and to the menu where you want to place the link. Click new and select Link - Url. Fill in the Url you just copied and give the menu-item a name and public access.

Now when a visiter comes to your site, he, or she, should be able to click the link to the Friends Gallery and see the subgalleries.

You can repeat this process for the Vacation Gallery.

If you can\'t get it to work with this, let me know, but I don\'t think I\'ll be able to be more clear on this.
