Menalto Gallery and Itemid

G'day

Got an odd one here and was hoping someone could help me out.

As part of the development of our school's Intranet, I've installed the Menalto Gallery. But I'm finding that the itemid parameter doesn't seem to be getting passed to the gallery correctly.

I got Gallery and the Mambo component hook installed OK.

However, the main menu item url for the gallery is:
jimmies.local.stjamescollege.qld.edu.au/index.php?option=com_gallery&Itemid=81

whereas the url for the individual albums within the gallery show up as (eg)
jimmies.local.stjamescollege.qld.edu.au/index.php?set_albumName=album01&option=com_gallery &Itemid=55&include=view_album.php

Unfortunately itemid=55 defines the menu item used to select one of our schools department pages. This page has a number of specialised modules and menus set to display only on this page - ie pages with itemid=55).

Anyone have any idea why the itemid value would be changing like this? How to fix it?

mambo v4.5.1a
gallery v1.4.4-pl4

No ideas anyone?

Somewhere along the line Gallery is getting the wrong url. As Gallery doesn't really have any way of interrogating the mambo databases to get an itemid value, I'm guessing Mambo is passing the incorrect one along for some reason.

Any suggestions?

Anyone ever seen anything similar?
