OG Galleries for Newbies

The instructions are in INSTALL.txt. It uses Views, so if you've never used Views before you may find it a little confusing until you get started.

There is a default view provided which will show up when you go to admin/build/views. Select the option to 'Add' that view, then go through it and make changes as needed. The biggest change you need to make is to add to the section called 'Fields' any field that you actually want displayed in your gallery, which will probably some kind of imagefield. Plus you will want to alter the 'Filters' section to filter the gallery by whatever content type your fields are in.

The other place you could get confused if you're really new to Drupal, I guess, is if you haven't yet created any image fields to display in your gallery. This module doesn't create images, it just displays them. You can create images using either the Image module or CCK with the CCK imagefield. Create a few nodes that have images and make sure you like them, THEN come back and set up OG Galleries to display those images in galleries.

Have to agree with the first post about this all being confusing to a newbe. There does not seem to be any step by step docs on getting this all up and running. It would be very helpful if there was better docs for this module. (Just a suggestion from an outsiders point of view)

My intended usage of this module is for having private groups have their own galleries. However, I have no idea just how this all setup on a per group basis. (Let alone on how to get this all running at all).

Again, we sure could use a step by step for all this. Even after reading your reply to the first post, I am really no farther along. Many of us are not teckies (just end users) that need a little hand holding.

Thanks

100% right.

I am working on variuos CMSs fr quite a long time now and I must say this one is relly confusing. OK, I know it's rather a CMF, but I am no tech noob. I use to be progrmmer and network administrator, I createv a few more or less complicted systems. But it's really confusing to start here, without any info. It's a common error for gyus who already know the stuff to assume, that something IS easy. Maybe that's why Drupl isn't so popular? Because many people get dicouraged (as I was for the forst time?). Now I am highly motivated and try to cope with everything, but this is ve, very slow. You know why Joomla has so big community? Because it needs no help actually :) It's easy to setup and use. At least create step by step documentation for newbies :(

+1 to this,

I dont know why it was closed, I cant seem to get it to work for the life of me, and I have been using drupal for months now. I have to admit that views and their filters are confusing to me and I am still learning them. The help document was good, but the language isnt correct. The response was to make sure the filter was of the content type, but this is actually the node:type. Their could be more explanation in the documentation.

Yeah this does not need to be closed, I thought og_gallery was to give each group a image gallery sort of!
i have been fooling with this for 2 days with no luck at all, has anyone actually setup a group gallery with this? I would love to see it and maybe get a idea.

Hello OutCast, I get work it, but the problem is that the module have several bugs to must be fixed because it does not work properly well

Thanks

here I have write a how to use it, but it's in spanish http://www.documentados.com/blog/oskar/galerias-de-imagenes-para-og-part...

I think not mentioning you need to create an image node type is a huge omission. I'm an experienced drupal user, and I assumed if there was a need for this the module would say! It would be good if it had a listed dependency for one of the image modules.
