I've recently installed SMF Gallery (lite) and I'm quite impressed with it. Congratulations. I like the integration with SMF Forum.
I'm a newbie to SMF Forum too. I have modified a template so that isn't strange territory for me but I don't yet understand the 'guts' of SMF Forum.
Having installed SMF Gallery, I can now see that if I want the gallery to appear in the tabs, I'll have to edit templates in each theme (other than SMF default) that I'm using. I can see here references on how to do this for some themes, but there doesn't seem to be a definitive set of instructions. I think that there might be two types of instructions necessary (correct me if I'm wrong). Some themes don't use button icons for the tabs row, so that's one sort of edit. Then there's themes where a button icon has to be created (and positioned?). Then I can see an array relating to the other items in the tab row. I would imagine that I have to add 'gallery' into that array but that instruction is only sometimes specified so I'm not sure how to tell if it is necessary or not.
I guess mostly my problem is that the instructions given here are often brief, and assume that the user understands a lot of the basics (and I don't, so they're not all that helpful for a newbie like me).
It also seems to me that we're all inventing our own wheels if we're creating custom icons for Gallery for themes that need them. Can a collection of these button icon files be posted so that we aren't all duplicating effort?
Thanks
