Easy Maxigallery install and setup?

Does anyone have an easy install and setup procedure for a newbie?
I have looked through the documentation and cannot get it to work.
I am stuck here (from the wiki). "Create a new document in the folder with page title Gallery 1"

I am looking for detailed instructions.
Thanks

I’m also a new user so I can’t be that much help, but put:

[!MaxiGallery? !]

on the page, turn the caching option off (that’s important), then look at the page. There should be a button allowing you to manage the images on that page (gallery).

Now, if you can get smoothgallery working maybe you can help me out...

Thank jmickela,

I can get the button to show, but it’s not working past that.
I am doing this on my local host, not sure if that matters.

What do you mean by "it’s not working past that"? Eg. what happens when you click manage pictures button?

If the page just reloads, double check that you have set the page to be not cacheable.

Also post your snippet call and document setup.. it helps to start figuring out your problem.

I get to the page to upload pictures and get this error:

Are you using the default template? If not try it with that and see if it works. I found that my problems were caused by the jQuery I had put in my template and switching to the default one helped me figure out how to get things right.

Hi BobbyG66,

I get to the page to upload pictures and get this error

try replacing Line 265 of maxigallery.class.inc.php:

with

Sharkbait! That worked!

Thank you, now I can work on formatting it to look good.

2 years and 7 months later, that is exactly the same solution I needed too. Thanks, sharkbait!
