The Pains of Gallery2-WordPress Integration
In my latest insomnious binge, I switched the management system of my entire website from Drupal to WordPress. I was impressed with Drupal early on…but it was too heavy. Too many features, too difficult to customize. It was too much to learn and I just didn’t feel like I had control of it. There were chunks of code that did who knows what but I was afraid to delete it. So I gave WordPress a test run, and was impressed. It was light, simple, and it was something I felt like I could not only easily customize, but I felt pretty comfortable working with it technically….maybe even write a module.
After trying it out extensively on one of my subdomains, I made the big switch. It was smooth. It so smooth I actually felt confident enough to dump my entire Drupal database. Then I came to the startling realization that Gallery2 and WordPress integrate horribly. The access point is this wp-gallery2.php files which drives everything. They don’t support URL rewrites and I had to install two extra modules just to stop getting error messages. When it finally displayed something, it makes my sidebar go crazy. I fixed it with a rather hacky solution. Then comes the motherload of the troubles, I get an error if I have to click any of the links. This is beyond me. I’m baffled. So baffled, I think I’m going to sleep.
I cam across this in google, and was wondering if you could enlighten me as to how u fixed it?
