Hi all I was trying out this new mod but getting a blank screen all the time. I did what the install text told me to do but I'm pt sure about a few things maybe you can help. First the code:

?>


The website is in my main root folder and the main path is Galleries/galleries to get to the galleris list on PHPWebGallery. But I see that the install text useds these.

#-----[ IN-LINE REPLACE WITH ]------------------------------------------------
# examples : './gallery/', './phpwebgallery/', '../photos/'
'relative/path/to/my/gallery/'

I put a dot in front of the path anad two more dotes as well but didn't get it to work at all. Does the does mean something because if they do I don't have a clue. I'm not sure if I install it right or least corrected it. Let know if I was doing this right or what I did wrong. Hey I trying to learn PHP ;)

I'm using the change version from here: http://forum.phpwebgallery.net/viewtopic.php?id=1380
That works with verion 1.3. This is my root set up.

index.php

|--Galleries
|     |
|     |-galleries
|           |
|           |-(a)Other folders by artist
|           |-(b)Other folders by artist..(etc)

random.php

Will there be a updated relase so that it will work with V. 3.0?
