Ok after a few silly installation problems (all my fault) I read through all of the comments but couldn't see this reported.
In IE Pictures set to 1024 x 1024 are set nicely but unusually Firefox 14.01 allows the picture to bleed over the stats on the side. (See the two attachments I've uploaded).
Also could I confirm that the url for the gallery is as follows as I don't use the VB menu system

hi there why do i get this error

The installation script created the folders for the default instance but the directory is not writeable. You will need to fix the permissions on the folders for the product to work correctly. Please check the permissions on the dbtech/gallery/images/upload/ and dbtech/gallery/images/upload/1 folders. Once you fix the permissions you can verify that future instances will be created correctly by checking the Image Upload Path in the ACP settings Gallery Image Options area. This is also the location that needs to be changed if you want to modify the file location.

i did chmod the folders to 777 can u tell me plz... im usin vb 4 .2 thankyou

Just one more thing I noticed that the Facebook like doesn't post the picture to Facebook or a link back. Only a link back to the main website.

Is there any way of setting it so when you click on the gallery tab, it goes straight to latest albums, rather than categories ?

Yes, that is the link to the image page. If you want a link to the image itself it would be

dbtgallery.php?do=gallery_image&id=8&gal=gallery&t ype=full

I'll look and see if I can figure out the overflow problem, I'm not seeing that on my local dev system.

Is it in the default location or did you move the upload folder? If it's 777 on the folder and it's child folders it should work ok.

Dylan

Yes, at first I wanted to get a basic integration going. Posting the image or link back to the specific image involves all kinds of API integration with facebook that I didn't want to get into until after the base gallery was working good :)

Dylan

Right now no, I'll look at making it an option to open to one of the main page select options in the next version.

For now though, if you want to hack it...
Edit the instance and set it to display images instead of categories

open dbtech/gallery/modules/gallery/actions/main.php

Where it says

change it to

Dylan

That worked perfectly, cheers Dylan..

Just added v1.1.3 which fixes the following:

Fixed - Hidden albums not being hidden
Fixed - vB Gallery importer not importing all images
Fixed - missing image killing next/previous buttons

I also put in a ACP maintenance section to remove orphaned image db entries.
