Drupal-integrated gallery ?
Hi, I want a gallery on my site, something well-integrated with Drupal (not just some glue between Drupal and yet another big php thing). The only thing I could find right now it IMCE_gallery, which I installed, but this thing seems to be really badly coded (absolute paths in imce_gallery.js, plus it does not work if IMCE uploads are in a subdirectory, and generally fragile). My question is: do you guys know of a small gallery module, which works well and is easy to use ? Thanks, Xav

I don't know anything about any of the gallery modules. Have you looked at: http://drupal.org/project/gallery http://drupal.org/project/flash_gallery http://drupal.org/project/avatar_gallery Earnie

Not what I'm looking for: this one works with another big PHP blob, "Gallery2".
I'd like to avoid Flash if possible.
That one is a gallery for avatars (user icon). By walking through thoses links, I found the Image module: http://drupal.org/project/image/ How does that project compare to IMCE_gallery ? Does anyone have a good experience with it ? Thanks, Xav

Why not try the gallery that is included with the image module? -- Jason Flatt http://www.oadaeh.net/ Father of Six: http://www.flattfamily.com/ (Joseph, 13; Cramer, 11; Travis, 9; Angela; Harry, 5; and William, 12:04 am, 12-29-2005) Linux User: http://www.kubuntu.org/ Drupal Fanatic: http://drupal.org/

Actually I'm trying that right now, and effectively it works great, it's worlds apart from IMCE_gallery. It's a bit too long to configure but that's ok. My only regret is that this module isn't in the core, or even more proeminently advertised. I didn't find it when looking for a gallery module, I just thought it was an image uploading module for nodes. Thanks, Xav
I am using the image module and its gallery, and they work fine, but they don't have a slideshow capability. Can anyone point me to a slideshow solution - it doesn't have to be fancy, even just a <--previous image / next image--> button within the gallery would be fine. Also, how can I take all the posting junk of each image - I don't want to show the full date and author etc. for every image in a gallery. This doesn't seem to be an option in content types like for other kinds of content. The site is www.scoutpack14.org - it will have many member-contributed images so I need to keep it as simple as possible. Lastly, is there a random image block module or snippet for Drupal 5? I have one on a D4.7 site, but couldn't find it on Drupal.org for D5. On 5/4/07, Xavier Bestel <xavier.bestel@free.fr> wrote:

Though I've never actually tried them myself, in the Media section of Drupal modules (http://drupal.org/project/Modules/category/67), there are a couple of slideshow modules. Also, there is a snippet in the Handbooks about adding previous/next links in the gallery (http://drupal.org/node/119052). That's what I'll be trying in the near future.
Also, how can I take all the posting junk of each image - I don't want to show the full date and author etc. for every image in a gallery. This doesn't seem to be an option in content types like for other kinds of content.
Some of that (which may be all you're looking for) can be changed in admin/build/themes/settings.

In the image module, there's a random image block (I'm using it on the above site). -- Jason Flatt http://www.oadaeh.net/ Father of Six: http://www.flattfamily.com/ (Joseph, 13; Cramer, 11; Travis, 9; Angela; Harry, 5; and William, 12:04 am, 12-29-2005) Linux User: http://www.kubuntu.org/ Drupal Fanatic: http://drupal.org/

While not strongly advertised, image.module and friends are used a lot. For example flash_gallery has it's dependency on image_gallery. I wouldn't worry about it not being in core as far as stability and future support go.

I believe you. My concern was that beginners may find and try IMCE +IMCE_gallery first (that's what I did), and as a result have a bad first Drupal experience. Some kind of "blessed" modules list, i.e. known to work well, would help a lot. Thanks, Xav
