Re: no thumbnails

How do you do the following:

1. Create a CCK content type to store images as nodes using ImageField.
2. Create a vocabulary and assign it to the content type you created.
3. Add terms as albums to your vocabulary.
4. Create image nodes and assign them to album terms.

Thanks,
Davy

Hi Guys,

I have managed to make a CCK contrent type... but cant seem to get a gallery view :(
gonna keep playing with it...

davenet... do u wanna know how to make the content types? if so send me a message :)
cya soon

Ive done it...

Right then... how to set up... I will expand on the original readme file :)

SETUP AND CONFIGURATION
------------
1. Create a CCK content type to store images as nodes using ImageField.
** Basiclly use ?q=admin/content/types to make a new content type - i called mine Gallery :) you need to make a new image field so you can upload stuff, hit add field and then on the drop down menu select image. Remember what you call the image field you will need it below

2. Create a vocabulary and assign it to the content type you created.
** head over to your taxonomy settings ?q=admin/content/taxonomy make a new vocabulary called gallery, then go to add term and call one album... remember if this is the second "vocabulary" then it is ID 2, if it is the first then it will be ID 1 and so on....
** Also after making your new vocabulary you need to click "edit vocabulary" and scroll down to the content types, here you need to select the type of content it is to work with in my case i clicked "gallery".

3. Create a preset with ImageCache to define image thumbnails.
** you need to go to the imagecache UI settings for this, ?q=admin/build/imagecache this way you can add presets to make your images look right in your gallery, basiclly go to Add, and call it gallery, you can add a scale function for now and go back to it later once everything else works (i found a scale function works well with just adding a width of 150 leaving the rest empty).

4. Add terms as albums to your vocabulary.
** Already done this above :)

5. Create image nodes and assign them to album terms.
** Just use your new content type to upload some random images for testing remember to select your album in the list, it will be the same name as your taxonomy term.

6. Configure Simple Gallery based on what you did above.
** go to your simple gallery config page ?q=admin/settings/simplegallery
** Vocabulry ID - Because i have added some forum stuff mine was ID 2... check the taxonomy and see what you have added before... if gallery is the first item then i guess you will be on ID 1
**CCK ImageField - This needs to be the name of the image field you creatd above
** ImageCache Preset - Add the name of your imagecache preset, if you followed me above it will be called gallery.
** all the bits below can be changed depening on what you want your site to look like... scroll down and hiut SAVE!

7. Access the gallery by visiting the yoursite.com/gallery.
** vist yoursite.com/gallery and see if it works...
** at first i just got loads of image not loaded red X's but i changed the above settings and managed to get it working...
** this is my gallery at the mo... http://bulgariatheexperience.com/gallery

Hope this is of some help to everybody !

How to do item no. 5 (Create image nodes and assign them to album terms.
** Just use your new content type to upload some random images for testing
) ?

On my Create Content list are:
- Page
- Story

I do not find the gallery there. How to use the new content type and upload pictures ?

Right then...
on your content type list you should have a new one called gallery.... or you should if you have followed the first stage...
once you have this you can upload you images... :|

Thank you for the detailed instructions, I'm so close.
When I go to /gallery on my site I get:

Gallery 1 (8) and no thumbnails

When I click on Show All, I get nothing not even a red x.

Thanks for any help.

Per the thumbnails comment. Go into your content-type admin, select "manage fields" for your content type (in this case "Gallery"). Make a note of your image field's name, it should be field_. In my case i called it "field_image_data". Now go into the settings for your simplegallery module, and make sure that the "image cck field" matches the field that you just made a note of it your gallery content type. In my case i just entered in "image_data", leaving out the field_ prefix as indicated. That fixed it for me.

When I try to create a new content type, I get this warning:

warning: call_user_func_array() [function.call-user-func-array]: First argument is expected to be a valid callback, 'node_type_form' was given in [my website URI]/drupal-6.6/includes/form.inc on line 366.

Does anyone know how I can fix this?

I really don't understand, I followed each of the steps explained by Enigma but nothing is working. When I try to access to my gallery by writing http://www.vizor-online.com/gallery I got this error:

"Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator, admin@trusttelecom.fr and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

Apache/1.3.37 Server at www.vizor-online.com Port 80"

Each modules are succesfully installed and configured I think. I have created a new content type "Gallery" with uploaded images. I also created the new vocabulary called "gallery" and its term "album". To finish, I configured the simple gallery page by putting the "ID" etc...

But when I try to look for my gallery...error...

Did I miss something? Please help guys, I really want to create that nice gallery ;)
