HowTo: Install Node Gallery
Steps to Install:
1. Download Node_gallery, ImageAPI, Imagecache, and Optional modules desired from Drupal.org.
2. Unzip or unpack the modules on your computer.
3. FTP or Upload the module folders with all the contents(as is) to the sites/all/modules folder.
Reminder: all contributed modules go in ( www.example.com/sites/all/modules ).
4. Goto: Administer > Site building > Modules
system path admin/build/modules/list
5. Checkmark or Enable ImageAPI, ImageAPI GD2, Imagecache and Imagecache UI.
Note: Install these first to avoid possible php error when node_gallery looks to add presets to imagecache.
ImageAPI GD2 provides image quality support.
Imagecache UI provides the user interface to allow configuring of presets.
6. Save the settings to install (updates the database).
7. Checkmark or Enable Node Gallery, Node Gallery Access(if needed), Node Gallery Lightbox2 Integration(if needed) and Optional modules desired.
Note: Node Gallery Access provides password protection and access configurations for galleries.
Lightbox2 Integration provides Lightbox2 functions.(Lightbox2 module is required)
