I know there are plenty of options for creating image galleries in drupal. I've used many of them. Like most people, I'm interested in simple, and like an increasing number of people, I'm not interested in using the image module. CCK, Views, Imagecache, etc.., is the preferred way to go.
In the interest of simplicity, I do not want to give my users FTP access to my file system, and I'd rather not require them to create a new node for every image. So, does anyone have suggestions for the following:
1) users can create the image gallery on one page/node, such as through CCK Image Field or file uploads as attachments
2) the display of the gallery can be through Lightbox or something similar.
Modules like Galleria and Gallerix have potential. They may work with a decent amount of CSS work and maybe some changes to the module code.
I love the method described here (http://raincitystudios.com/blogs-and-pods/hubert/a-simple-ajax-image-gallery...) using CCK/Views but I can't get Lightbox to navigate through the images. Not sure if it's possible here.
