Hello all,

I am brand new at this Drupal thing and so far I have been able to figure out the basics. Now I am currently modifying the Marinelli theme to my liking but I would like to add individual pages for my dogs and have a bunch of pictures with descriptions underneath each picture. Is there a way to do this? I have no idea how to work with the code stuff... I would just like to add a bunch of pictures on a page. I have installed some modules to no avail- after I install one... it requires another to work, and then another and then finally I get to one which is not compatible with my version. I just want a simple way to add - lets say 10 pictures (1024 x 768) with descriptions underneath each pic on one page. Thank you in advance!!!

Leo,

The easiest thing to do is to create a new content type such as "Dog" and add an Image field with unlimited number of values. So, then you can add content for a dog with the dog's name (Title), Description (Body) and Images where you can add as many photos as you like. You can do this with no extra modules needed in general for this.

I would suggest Views as an addition so that you can provide slideshows or galleries if needed. Also, PathAuto is nice to get urls like /dogs/benji .

Scott,

Thank you so much for you help. I have added such content but how do I add an image field? I know this is a really goofy question.... but I can not find out where to add it.

Thanks again so much!!

If you are using Drupal 7, go to /admin/structure/types/manage/yourcontenttype/fields

replace yourcontenttype with the name of your content type as it appears in your admin navigation

Good luck with your project,
Rhonda
