Cesar I have a couple questions. Does one need to create 2 fields in the content type in order to hold the thumb and the full image? Do I need to set the sizes in the content type too? If not where are the sizes set?

Thanks Cesar. Very helpful. I have been wrestling with researching and trying to decide which way to go with a similar gallery. Is it possible you publicize the link of your final version?

Hi All,
I figured it would be a good idea to document how I (finally) was able to get this working like I wanted. I deployed in Drupal 7 using Views 3, and Gallery Formatter modules.
"Portfolio" node with Gallery (/portfolio/[node:title]))
1)Create new content type with the following types: Title, Body (or Description), Image.
2)Go into the "Manage Fields" windows and change the "Preview image style" to "galleryformatter_thumb". Set number of files appropriately (I set unlimited).
- Go to "Manage Display" and change the Format to "jQuery Gallery".
"Portfolio" page to display all "Portfolio" content types (/portfolio)
- Create a view in Views (duh) with the title you want to give the page.
2)Set the Format to Grid. Settings are your choice, but to keep things clean I did a 3 wide node.
3)Set "Show" to fields, and select the fields from the nodes you want to display. I did things simple: the image and the title of the node.
4)Add Filter Criteria to search for Content type "Portfolio"
Let me know if anyone has questions or if I wasn't clear on anything. Hopefully this helps other beginners.
Very Respectfully, Cesar Covarrubias

Hi folks,
It's possible that other modules are needed, in particular the D7 Media module, which is also installed in DrupalGardens. That's why I suggested trying this out there, to see if it meets your needs. Here's a link to the documentation: http://www.drupalgardens.com/documentation/gallery
And here's the intro to that page:
Add media galleries to a new Drupal Gardens site*Create multi-media galleries on your Drupal Gardens website.* Your users can see slideshows of your images and YouTube videos http://youtube.com/ displayed in a lightbox http://www.drupalgardens.com/documentation/gallery#lightbox floating above your site or you can display individual items on their own pages. The Drupal Gardens media gallery automatically creates thumbnails of your images for you, pulls in video descriptions directly from YouTube and more. You just tag http://www.drupalgardens.com/glossary/26#term1301 and label your stuff, arrange your galleries and items via drag and drop and you are ready to go!
Only thing to note is that only YouTube video can be added for now to galleries.
Best, Marilyn

As far as I can tell, Media Gallery only puts the gallery title below the gallery pictures. And it will only put the picture title below the individual pictures. Therefore it does not meet his need. But this is only based on a few hours of my playing with it on a test site. Perhaps more is available through Views or a custom theme template. Note that you must download it and read the README file _before_ trying to enable it - there are several prerequisites not listed on the project page. /*Nancy*/ Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. -- Dr. Martin L. King, Jr. *From:* Marilyn Langfeld That sounds like what DrupalGardens provides for multiple galleries. They use D7 Media Gallery Module: http://drupal.org/project/media_gallery which requires: List, Field, Field SQL storage, Options, Number, Taxonomy. You might try it out on DrupalGardens (set up a free account), and even begin development there, then download the site when you have done all that you can in that environment. -- [ Drupal support list | http://lists.drupal.org/ ]-- [ Drupal support list | http://lists.drupal.org/ ]
