New subject: Portfolio page suggestions in Drupal 7

7 Aug 2011

      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.

I think there is an issue with your drupal install. Do you typically
edit/remove files in the drupal directory?

Tony,
The content type handles the raw files, so you only have to create one
field for the image upload.
For each individual node, Imagecache (which is built into D7) handles
the resizing. When you install Gallery Formatter, it adds 2 sizes in
Imagecache settings (one for slide and one for thumbnail).
For the /portfolio page (which uses Views), you can chose one of the
existing/default sizes from Imagecache or create one that works for
the
...
width of your content area in your theme.
Very Respectfully,
Cesar Covarrubias

     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).

     3) Go to "Manage Display" and change the Format to "jQuery

Gallery".
...
...
     "Portfolio" page to display all "Portfolio" content types
     (/portfolio)

     1) 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
