Hello Shai,<br><br>thanks for the suggestions. I had already considered Views but wanted to see whether there are (easier??) alternatives. Anyway, I think I could get a view to work. I know a little bit about Imagefield, but what is Imagecache?<br>
<br>Also, (and this might be a stupid question) but how do I get my photos into Drupal? I would like to have them in my private files folder. I was thinking to set up a new content type, Photo for example, with a title field, the Imagefield, tags. Is this the only way? Am I missing something? Can I only upload one photo at a time?<br>
<br>And one more question, when I set up a View like you suggested, I have a gallery. Does it automatically display thumbnail (or smaller) images? And when someone clicks on one image, does it open the original (or larger) image? How do I go about displaying 'Next photo' and 'Previous photo' (and 'Back to gallery') buttons, within the photos in each gallery?<br>
<br>I hope this makes sense. Again, thanks a ton for your help!<br><br>Andre<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, Apr 24, 2011 at 9:50 PM, Shai Gluskin <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:shai@content2zero.com">shai@content2zero.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

Welcome to Drupal.<br>
<br>
Try just using Views, Imagefield and Imagecache. In Drupal 7, Imagefield and Imagecache are part of core. Views you need to download.<br>
<br>
Use the Grid style for your view display.<br>
<br>
Use taxonomy (tags) to create the different galleries.<br>
<br>
Use an exposed filter to create a drop-down listing the different galleries. After you have more experience with Views, and depending on your use-case, you'll likely want to replace the exposed filter with a Views argument.<br>
<br>
Good luck and don't hesitate to write back with more questions<br>
<br>
Shai<br>
