I followed your 'Step by Step Instructions for Views Gallerific in Drupal 7' and it looked like everything was great. After adding the Image Style Presets, I created a content type called 'Gallery.' Then, I set up a View called Gallery where under 'Displays' for that view, I have 'Gallery page' and 'EVA Field'--along with the new fields, formats and other settings.

However, when I created a page using 'Gallery,' and added 5 photos to that page, what I get is 5 normal size photos running down a page. I'm not getting multiple thumbnails and one large photo on a page. I've went through the instructions multiple times and I keeping the same result. I'm not sure if I'm missing something or the instructions are missing something. (I did notice that I had to go back to Content type and change the Image format from 'hidden' to 'Image' because if I didn't then my page with the images showed no images at all.)

Attached is a screen shot of my Gallery view.

One thing too... when I'm building the Gallery view, I get to step 6 in the documentation ('Add View to Gallery node') and it says to click Add and choose 'Entity content.' However, even though I have the Entity modules loaded, I don't have that option in the list.

I have:

Add:

Attachment
Block
Content pane
Context
EVA field
Feed
Page

So, I choose EVA field and continue. Everything seems to work fine until I try to display the page. Then I use see a normal page with normal size photos running down it. I see no layout with thumbnails.

Went through this a 4th time and finally I have it working. The only difference that I can see is that the first few times I did this, I had a View with the Gallery display and then an additional EVA Field display. This 4th time though, I have only one display for View Gallery and it's EVA Field display. The downside is that even with the documentation, it was difficult to get this the first time round.

I'm in the same position - hoping your suggestion will work.

Sometimes Drupal feels a lot like smashing your head against a wall.
