 * Nice! That’s almost exactly what I’m looking for! I’ve been struggling with trying
   to integrate MiniGal for days now. I love MiniGal’s interface and simplicity,
   but I’d pay good money for an easy integration solution.
 * It looks like iPAP has all of the features I want and none of the ones I don’t…
   cool. I’ll install it and play around with it tomorrow (don’t have time tonight).
   I’d love to read any info you’re willing to share about how you got it to play
   nice with WP.
 * Thanks, alexkreuz!

 * MailGuard,
 * I’m trying to do the exact same thing right now. I’m okay when it comes to html
   and css, but this is my first foray into php… I’m lost. I’ve tried using various
   php includes as well, with no luck.
 * So, I’m hoping there’s a way to call the WP PHP functions from a directory outside
   the install directory. For example:
 * WP is installed in my root directory, “public_html”. I’ve installed MG2 in a 
   subdirectory, “public_html/photos” Is there a way to use a WP function… something
   simple like, <?php bloginfo(‘name’); ?>, from a php file in the “public_html/
   photos” directory?
 * If that’s possible, I think it may solve most of my woes.

 * I’ve just started with WP but, after following this thread, I’ve gotten the category
   and sub-category pages to work just fine. However, I _am_ just starting so I’ll
   probably screw it up in a day or two.
 * So, if it helps, here’s the rewrite rules I ended up with…
 * <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

 * I also found that if I let WP write to my .htaccess everything went to crap. 
   However, if I copied the rewrite rules from the “Edit Permalink Structure” screen,
   it worked like a charm. Of course, I still had to move the category rules to 
   the bottom as aleck suggested. Hope that helps!
