Here is what I am trying to achieve today - starting as of 9am. This is all for the genealogy website I’m building.

• Configure hosting - completed*
• Configure SQL - completed*
• Install Joomla and configure - completed*
• Install Community Builder - completed **
• Install Forum - installed and configured ***
• Install Gallery2.0 - still going #
• Install Gallery2.0 components (integrator and modules)
• Install PHPGedView - complete ##
• Install Joomla PHPgedView component wrapper - complete ##
• Install new template from JoomlaShack - Done #
• Modify template if need be (to be able to collapse side column)
• Modify header image - complete ##
• Set up categories etc. in Joomla
• Pray that it works

I’ll update this as I finish each step. Wish me luck.

IF I get time I may do a quick Joomla install for the StudioGTB site as well.

* First update 10am

** 11am - now onto Forum

*** 11:30 - Forum Finished and time for some food. This is going too well. Something has to go wrong soon. At this point I would like to thank one Mr Neil Young and his brilliant solo performance at Massey Hall from 1971 that has been keeping me relaxed while I work.

# 1:30pm - I decided to do a full install of Gallery with all region options because this family has descendants all over the world. BIG MISTAKE. One hour on it is still uploading. In the meantime I have gotten the theme installed. That was painless. But Gallery is really chewing into my time.

2:30pm -Screw this. Upload of Gallery canceled. Not even 1/3 way through modules folder. Deleting and installing typical installation.

3:30pm - take away the time I lost on Gallery (which is still uploading btw) I’m going as well as expected. PHPGedView was simple to install. Default template looks good on the theme as well. No content in there yet as I’m still waiting on the exported data.

5:10pm - back from picking up the better half from work and voting. Slight tweak to the header image, Gallery finally uploaded and getting installed. Nearly there.

6:47pm - FINISHED… I think this deserves a new post.
