Hello,

Is there a way to create an image gallery as a book page?
I can create a gallery, and create images assigned to it and to the book, but this way shows every image as a page, so you would have to hit the next button a lot of times (one for each image) in order to get to the next section of the book. I would like to have just one page with the gallery, but I don't find how to do it.

Thanks.

Are you looking to add the Image Gallery node to a Book, in the same way that most nodes can be added to a Book (via an Outline tab)?

If so, I'm looking to do the same (though in 5.x). So far, no luck. : /

Title: Image gallery as book page » Image gallery as book page (or ability to attach a gallery to a node)

A better option may be to have an option to extend image_attach to have the option attach a gallery to a node.

(hint: a gallery is not a node, but a taxonomy term. Seeing a gallery is seeing all nodes with that taxonomy term.)

Thanks, nbz. Gallery <> node explains why the gallery acts differently.

Thanks nbz.

That idea of attaching a gallery to a node sounds great, I think that it could do the job. I understand the difference between the term and the node, thanks for pointing that out. I just wanted to here about the chances of having something like a gallery as a page. For now, I will keep adding the images to the book using the outline section.

pura vida.

There is another module - Acidfree which does galleries as nodes, but that has not been updated to Drupal 6 yet. (it does not have a stabel release for Drupal 5 out either... a bit of a slow burning module that.)

Shame...subscribing

I wanted to have multiple galleries attached to a custom node

So the images can be divided once by the node in question and again by category
e.g. A Game would have Screens, Concept Art, Fan Art

This could be easier. A gallery can be attached to a node, and a random image from the gallery would be displayed on the node (just like it is displayed when the image is the attachment). The difference is that the image links to the gallery. That's not what I want, but it would work for the moment.

What do you think?

Subscribing - ever find an answer for this? Specifically, I'd like to attach a gallery to Book's main page.

Image galleries are just taxonomy terms, nothing else. I don't know whether there is a module that allows to turn a term into a node, but that is basically, what you would need to assign image galleries to a book outline.
