I have been working in PM with a member to get this project to work for him.
All appeared to be in order and identical to my layout, however the NewsManager and NewsEditor snippets weren’t installed.
The NewsPublisher snippet IS NOT the same thing. Even if you have the NewsPublisher snippet installed, you will still need the NewsManager and NewsEditor snippets to get this to work.
You can get them here:

The NewsEditor snippet is part of the download, just follow the instructions once you download it to place them properly and which files to copy. It is pretty straightforward and relatively easy to do.
Also, make sure that you Gallery, Gallery Creator, and Gallery Manager pages are UNCACHED (unchecked). This should help some with some of the problems getting things to be seen.
