Hey all,

I have a private personals site and I want my Members to be able to upload images into a gallery of their own. Therefore, having a tab in their profile linking to their gallery.

I tried Image Gallery but couldn't figure out how to actually upload pictures for the gallery. LOL. Every time I uploaded an image, it just overwrote the orignal image in my profile.

Can someone help me with this? I'm not a newbie when it comes to webmastering, however, I'm pretty new to Drupal. Which, so far, has been just excellent. I'm very happy with it.

Other than Image Gallery, is it possible to just Mod some code and allow for several images to be uploaded into a Member's profie? Rather than just one? I'm not looking for anything fancy when it comes to a gallery. Just the ability for a Member to include several images in their profile. Preferably in a thumbnail format.

Thanks for any help you can offer.

add extra image fields to the profile - say 5? This would limit each user to a set number of pictures, but maybe this would be enough to get around your current limitation.

The alternative is something like the bio module, which allows one custom node (of any defined type) per user - this could be used instead.

Something else to investigate maybe code/modules for dating sites - as these would be best placed to allow inclusion of multiple images in each profile.

Hope these are some ideas,

Gareth

Thanks a lot Gareth. I'll look into those options.

I appreciate the fast response. Makes me like Drupal even more.

That's exactly what I've been looking for but then in a sort of different form.

Users should be able to click on a link beneath the image, it says: "I am on that picture". If they click that, there name appears beneath the image and the image it self is put in there personal album in there profile. I wonder if something like this exists?

that sounds really cool

Kind of like using tags ... And maybe views

Tag with the persons name and have a link the profile that shows images tagged with thier name...

There is a great way of setting up user galleries with cck:

Michelle also offers a great tutorial on user profiles, I believe she embeds this method in the profiles, but I don't remember exactly.
