I already have an established Gallery (v1.5) installed on my site (setup as www.mysite.com/gallery) with albums, photos, users, etc in it. I just installed PostNuke on my site and would like to integrate Gallery into it as a module.
From what I’ve read on various sites, to install a new Gallery into PostNuke, it would need to be installed into /modules/gallery. However, how do I integrate my currently existing Gallery at /gallery preserving my content and users? (I already enabled Legacy Module support in the PostNuke setings control panel.)
On Gallery’s forum, I found the following solution for pointing /modules/gallery to /gallery as if the Gallery existed in the modules directory:
http://gallery.menalto.com/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&p=156770#139424 [menalto.com]
Quote: › I normally will just symlink the directory into modules. That way nothing needs to move, but it all looks like it has.
ln -s gallery modules/gallery
However, that is a Unix command, and my site runs on a Windows server. How can I accomplish this for my site?
Another question: do the Admin user names and passwords have to be identical for both PostNuke and Gallery for the integration to work? Obviously, since I would like it all to be integrated, I would like to only have to log on through the PostNuke’ed index page and be able to administer the entire site, including Gallery, without having to log on separately for both areas.
It is not absolutely pertinent to preserve the user base from Gallery, but it would be nice.
I also want to install and integrate the PNphpBB [pnphpbb.com] forum into this site, so I’m not sure how this will complicate the issue. I didn’t want to go ahead and install that first before I knew what to do about the Gallery in case that would mess up or complicate the integration in some way.
This is all quite new to me so please be detailed and specific with what I need to do. My only experience with PHP is installing a stand-alone phpBB forum plus some modifications on another site 1 year ago. The Gallery I’m using was installed by my host, but I think I should be able to install it myself if I had to (I was able to run through the configuration wizard and edit settings just fine).
