Gallery 3 – G3Grey Theme

G3Grey Theme and required modules for Gallery 3, Gallery the Revival.

What is Gallery 3?

Menalto Gallery 3 Project was a nice, free PHP-based photo gallery engine many years back. It went into hibernation due to a lack of support some years ago but is still being used by a number of sites.

There is an attempt to revive the project led by Brad Dutton here and a discussion forum here.

I start to use Gallery 2 in 2007. Later in 2010, I upgraded it to Gallery 3.

I am still using it on my HomeLab website. Now, it is Gallery the Revival. version 3.1.5.

The theme I was using is GreyDragon Theme, made by Serge D.  He did not update anymore for this theme since he uses Piwigo.

So, I start using GreyDragon as a base to make my own OpenSource G3 Grey Theme.

 

G3Grey Theme

It is a custom theme.  It is a kind of fork from the GreyDragon theme. I removed all short-open tags first. To make sure it is working with Gallery The Revival 3.1.5. Later I will make more changes to make it modern and updated.
