Does anyone know of any good examples of GalleryV2 galleries using modified themes? I'm new to the PHP thing and was wondering what is possible with Gallery2

So far the only mod I've been able to do is change the colour theme and replace the Gallery2 logo with my own.

See HERE

It is definately possible greencardigan.

I have some big plans for my site with regards to doing this. Next weekend I plan to sit down and really change things around.

You need to edit the .tpl files. There are guides on how to do this on the gallery2 site.

I've modified mine on my site a little bit. Nothing major yet though.

I'm going to update my site shortly,

so I would be interested to hear how you go?

Mine is at images.imagineant.com

I tried for a cleaner look than the standard, with a better thumbnail sizing.
It's not really optimal for lower res (horizontal scroll appears on album view pages - but I don't give a toss about those from the dark ages).

Is it based on the standard matrix theme?

From memory, yes it's modified from Matrix.

Why don't you try SimpleViewer. A flash gallery. And when you add SimpleViewerAdmin you can have multiple galleries.

Much "nicer" than Galleryv2 IMO.

I'm sure that SimpleViewer has a number of advantages over gallery, but I think the biggest advantage gallery has is the gallery remote app. It saves me so much time, resizing and uploading my images automatically.

You can get a template for SimpleViewer that you use in Picasa (Google's (I think) picture organization program) that you use to export straight into a formatted folder and upload straight to your site.

All you have to do in Picasa is select the photo's you want and export to web page and select the SimpleViewer template and hey presto the directory is output so you can then upload straight to your website. Takes about 2 min.
