be aware that Menalto Gallery requires safemode=off

Coppermine is indeed a fantastic gallery. However, depending on what you mean by "incorporate", it's may be very difficult.

If you want to include elements from Coppermine in your site pages, be SURE you install Coppermine in the root - or whatever subdirectory level your site lives in. You can't directly use Coppermine elements (Categories, Albums, Images, etc) in pages outside the coppermine root without using third-party tools.

With that in mind, there is a new php object that will let you retrieve images, etc, from Coppermine. You can find that on the support forum at http://coppermine.sf.net. It's actually pretty cool.

You can easily link off to Coppermine. But, to make it look exactly like part of an existing site is nearly impossible. The only way to do it that works well is to show Coppermine inside an I-Frame, surrounded by your site's header, left side nav, whatever you have.

Creating Coppermine themes is also a lot of work, so it's better if you make your site look like an existing Coppermine theme.

If you want to use a "nuke" style site (as in phpNuke, etc), check out cpgNuke. It's basically a split-off of one of the "nuke" site packages with Coppermine fully integrated.

My site, http://www.primanudes.com, is a Coppermine Photogallery with some hacks for the banner ads. It's not trivial to work with unless you know PHP and Coppermine's theme system fairly well.

I'd love to see an object-based version of coppermine that could be included into existing pages on a per-album, category or even image basis. But, I found nothing out there that really did everything I wanted.

Good luck!
