Getting Started

Activation

Activate WPG2 in the WordPress Plugins Management Panel.

Validatation

• You will now have a "WPG2" options tab on the main WordPress Admin Menu Bar.
• Select it. The first tab is a WPG2 validation tab. Validaton should occur automatically.
• If you have any errors, follow the directions in the error message to resolve any issues.
  • First try going to the G2 Paths tab, and enter your Gallery2 URL in the "Auto Configuration of Embedded Paths - Gallery2 URL" text field and press the "Auto Configure" button. This should result in a valid setup.
  • If you cannot get the auto configuration to work, go to the G2 Paths tab and enter the path information manually in the "Manually Configure/Adjust Embedded Paths" section. Guidance on each field is provided immediately below the field. This will happen in the rare case of using Gallery2 on a different subdomain on a clustered server arrangement where the computer hosting your site has a different IP address than the IP used in the HTTP request.

Verify Gallery2 User Account Setup

• Once WPG2 is validated, there will be a "Gallery2 Users" tab under the WordPress "Users" tab.
• Verify (and if missing, Grant) all of the Wordpress users who should have Gallery2 Admin privileges.
• Verify (and if missing, Grant) any other users who should be logged in as a Gallery2 user (but not admin).
• Any Wordpress users who do not have a corresponding Gallery2 account will appear in the list of WordPress users without Gallery2 user accounts. These lists will only appear if there is one or more user in them.

Additional Language Support

• Version 3.0 onwards has shipped with support for English (en), German (de), Spanish (es), French (fr), Hungarian (hu), Italian (it), Korean (ko), Norwegian Bokmal (nb), Dutch (nl), Polish (pl), and Chinese Traditional (zh_TW) for the G2Image popup windows. Check the WPG2 support forum and the G2Image homepage for more translations.
• WPG2 Admin Tabs: If you use poEdit to translate /wpg2/locale/wpg2.pot into your language's wpg2-xx.po and wpg2-xx.mo files, you can use them by placing them in the /locale/ folder. They must have the same encoding and name as the WordPress locale file as set by WPLANG in wp-config.php. Example: The WordPress Traditional Chinese localization is encoded in UTF-8 and are named zhTW.po and zhTW.mo. The corresponding WPG2 localizations are also in UTF-8 and are named wpg2-zhTW.po and wpg2-zhTW.mo.
• G2Image Pop-Up Windows: Please see the G2Image Internationization page for information on G2Image language support - http://g2image.steffensenfamily.com/index.php?title=Internationalization/Languages_Page
