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> <div><div></div><div class="h5"><br> On Apr 24, 2011, at 8:08 PM, Andre Durudas <<a href="mailto:durudasa@gmail.com">durudasa@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br> <br> > Hello fellow Drupal-users,<br> ><br> > I am looking for an easy way to create several photo galleries on my<br> > Drupal 7 website.
