I must say it is incredibly frustrating to me that there is no decent
documentation for a lot of things in Drupal. There is no where I can go to
read step by step what I should do to set up a Gallery of images as Cesar
described above or a slideshow, as I have tried to do: successfully it seems
but I have no idea how I did it.
http://www.tony-mac.com/drupal/waldo#overlay-context=portfolio_view
<http://www.tony-mac.com/drupal/waldo#overlay-context=portfolio_view> All I
did was define a new view and entered the title and suddenly I got a slide
show of all content, with my attempted Gallery Formatter content types mixed
in.
I was such a big fan of the IBM manuals! So exact; so clear.
