Heah look fellas, I’ve TRIED to install this Maxi Gallery & just can’t get it to work. I am a SUPER NOOB & had my sire set up for me BUT had a fall-out with the guy. Months go by & I have decided to try this on my own, but it’s like reading a foriegn novel. I am lost. I followed the instructions but to no avail. I just want the gallery on a page of my site. Can a someone help me out ? PLEASE ?! Thanx !!

No one can help you if you don’t specify better what problems do you have.. There is a small tutorial on how to use maxigallery in it’s subforums that you could take a look at.. Also, read the various threads in maxigallery subforums to learn how to use it. I and others have already answered many similar posts there.

I’ve read ALOT already, THANX. I am just trying to get it to open in the page I want. I learned how to upload the files with FTP & the I went & created the snippet. I just am lost from there. When I open the editor It isn’t there, but I’ll keep trying. Thanx .. .

make it writable (CHMOD 0666 or 0777)

What does this mean & how do I do it ? I have step #6 down, but need help with #7 & #8

Your FTP client will have an option for setting the permissions (CHange MODe) on files and folders. It might be in a menu item called "Info" or something like that.

Usually it will show a grid with "owner, group, world" and "read, write, execute".

The folders all will need to have the "execute" permissions set for all three of owner, group, and world, since this means that they can open the folder.

Any folders that a script will write to (such as copying an image file into the folder, as the MaxiGallery script does) will need to be "world-writable", that is, have the Write permissions set for all three owner, group and world as well. And, of course, read permissions, which does exactly as it says, give permission to read a file.

This is an important concept for any webmaster to understand, so go get a cup of (insert favorite beverage here) and do a bit of light reading:

Unless, of course, you are using a Windows server, which uses a totally different permission system; others can help you with that, I’m not at all familiar with it.
