Hello,
I used OP D6 for a weekly newspaper website at my old job and it did extremely well.
I am looking at OP D7 for a new project and installed Alpha 3.
Seems bare bones, which I think was the idea. But for gallery content, I think you have to give users the opportunity to upload many pictures at once.
Also, the layout of the gallery is extremely poor. I don't understand it. Are we supposed to configure the layout of the galleries?

I'll second the motion for a bulk uploader. It's not going to keep my client from using OP, but their sports guy will be grumpy if he has to load pictures one at a time.

I agree with this, this is definitely functionality we should add ... now to build it :)

I was able to use PLUPload to upload photos to gallery.

But plupload does not create text fields with all the photos.

I think Plupload uploads all of your pictures into a node that would normally be used for one photo. so there can only be one caption for all the photos.

http://drupal.org/sandbox/jec006/1796858 -> this is a plupload implementation that allows you to upload multiple files into a field collection. It still needs some work, but it'd be really helpful if some people could review it and submit feedback / issues on the issue queue for that sandbox.

As soon as it gets a little testing we can put it into the build.

This module has been added into the dev branch, the standalone module can be found here: http://drupal.org/project/field_collection_bulkupload

Thanks for the good idea, hopefully this improves the experience for editors. Please submit any issues with that module in its issue queue so I can track them in one place.

I can't make the multiple upload work with the gallery image. Instead, it seems to want to work with the Main Image.

Hey Midek,

Earlier you said you changed the way the gallery was setup in opish. Have you reverted it back?

You'll need to make sure the module is enabled and it should just add a bulkupload area above the field collection for the gallery images.

I didn't really change it. I gave myself the option to use the plupload widget for uploading photos at admin/structure/field-collections/field-op-gallery-image/fields/field_op_gallery_image_image/widget-type

I go back to the original method when I have 5 or 6 photos. But when I have 75 photos I got to Plupload widget...

I reverted back to the original image widget but it didn't change the gallery images. Only the "Main Image"

My method, however is flawed, because it doesn't allow captions nor does it allow for neat rows three thumbnails.

I'd prefer a good method
