The Gallery2 migrate module is designed to import photos and related data from the Gallery package. This module works with Version 2 of Gallery (G2) and Drupal 7.
Some Drupal sites use the Gallery module to integrate G2 with Drupal. This module gives an upgrade path to Drupal 7.
For detailed instructions, caveats, warnings, etc., see README.txt.
History
I started using the Gallery package a few years before I started using Drupal. It is easy to install, and it works pretty well. When I started using Drupal, I used the Gallery module to integrate them. It provides highly configurable blocks, but it is tricky to configure (especially for a multisite installation) and it modifies .htaccess
, which adds a step every time I update Drupal. (Sometimes I forget this step, which is not a good thing.)
It does not look as though there will be a version of the Gallery integration module for Drupal 7. On the other hand, D7 can manage media files much better than D6. I decided it is time to abandon Gallery and get all my photos into Drupal, so I wrote this module.
