Embedding a gallery into an existing webpage?

Sorry, I've been searching the web for two hours now and I have yet to find an answer to this.

Is there a guide on how to embed a piwigo gallery into an existing page?

I need some sort of a step by step thing because everything I have tried for the last 3 hours has not worked.

Any help is appreciated.  A link, a message, semifore...

NM:  After monkeying with it I got it into an iframe.  Great app, really great but the documentation from installation to implementation is really lacking.  A few short tutorials would really help.

related extensions

[extension by sadrobot] Piwigo4blog
[extension by Gotcha] PiwiShack

might help you out. Haven't tried them myself though.

The "Docs" page had installation documentation. Piwigo also comes with a tutorial plugin to walk you through the basics.

Instead of iframe use object

<object data="URL to your Piwigo" width="XXX" height="YYY" type="text/html"></object>

you can even put this into <div> and style margins, padding etc.

I'll try that because honestly the iFrame is severely lacking due to not being responsive at all.

Thank you

@Executive  Yeah, I read through those.  They were not actually very good.  There were a lot of blanks int he process.  On top of that there are no basics guides that would help people that have a general knowledge of such things but don't know all of the ins and outs of Piwigo.

Like I said, good program, bad documentation.  With better documentation I imagine that adoption would be much higher.

@telemach  I attempted using the object tag but it doesn't show up.  It will show up in a preview via Dreamweaver or VS Code but it doesn't show up when I throw the file on the server.

Re: Embedding a gallery into an existing webpage?

It is an open project, so if you have any ideas how to improve it then you are more than welcome to help.

Re: Embedding a gallery into an existing webpage?

try again with sample page as this is working; I am using object for my other project and it's HTML5 compatible but it might not show up if you are using outdated browser

Re: Embedding a gallery into an existing webpage?

@executive  Agreed.  I wish I had the time to do more of that. It does take more than coding to make an open source project successful.

@Telemach My bad.  I had forgotten the 's' in 'https' as I installed the cert today.
