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.

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.

It's the old problem of why many programs are insufficiently commented. There is never time to take a deep breath and go back and write cogent comments. It seems to be happening in Drupal too despite links like below (But thanks for the good intentions and motivational jibes). The good docs I find are most of the time outdated. Understandable given the pace of change here. On Mon, Aug 8, 2011 at 3:54 AM, Stephen Karsch <steve@stevekarsch.com>wrote:

Having said that, understand that there are many ways to do something in Drupal. And I have seen people dismiss as unusable what someone else thinks is great - but then don't offer their "better" solution. And galleries are one of those things that each person seems to take very personally.

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

Indeed, as the maintainer of several modules, it is quite difficult to keep the documentation up to date, but that's just one more place for module adopters to help. Comments are a different story.

It's the old problem of why many programs are insufficiently commented. There is never time to take a deep breath and go back and write cogent comments.
It seems to be happening in Drupal too despite links like below (But thanks for the good intentions and motivational jibes). The good docs I find are most of the time outdated. Understandable given the pace of change here.

A couple of things to check: Do you have the colorbox library installed in sites/all/libraries? I don't know your exact setup, here a few pointers for getting the colorbox to work: In structure->content type->yourcontenttype->manage display, set "Select the full image style" to the size you want (full image, etc), and set "Use jQuery modal for full image link " to "Colorbox". For a view, in "Fields" -> Content - Image (or your field name for the image) -> Choose "Formatter": "Colorbox" and your node image style and colorbox image style of choice.

*The Colorbox module* (etc. , that's the one in the modules directory) And then, *The Colorbox plugin:* - Supports images, image groups, slideshow, ajax, inline, and iframed content. - Appearance is controlled through CSS so users can restyle the box. - Preloads background images and can preload upcoming images in a photo group. - Generates W3C valid XHTML and adds no JS global variables & passes JSLint. - Tested In: Firefox 3+, Safari 4+, Chrome, Internet Explorer 6, 7, 8, 9, Opera 11. - Released under the MIT License. The plugin is downloaded separately from the Colorbox homepage<http://colorpowered.com/colorbox/> . That one goes into the libraries directory. You also need to have the libraries module installed ( http://drupal.org/project/libraries : goes in the the modules directory), to make the libraries in the libraries directory known to drupal.

Hmm, difficult to say. The javascript script.js file doesn't seem to be included by default in the genesis theme. Does the gallery work with an unaltered default theme like garland? Ursula On Tue, Aug 9, 2011 at 11:31 AM, tony maciejowski <tony@tony-mac.com> wrote:

Do you still get the error messages? Did you set all the colorbox options? Did you check the logs to see whether there are additional error messages? If you didn't change anything in the modules/plugins, I don't see any reason to reinstall them. Is the libraries module enabled?
