Drupal 6 - CCK and imagefield and imagecache are all ported

I need to finish 2.0 and then 3.0 for D6 will commence. I still have a number of additions to make to 2.0 yet.

Thanks for all your work - really looking forward to testing in D6.
Till then :)
Scott

Also, looking to use this in D6.

Any specific things to test or help with?

Subscribe, I also would appreciate a D6 version.

I will really appreciate something for D6 ;)

I second all of the above ;-)

Has this module become abandonware?

Kinda seems to be the case. I've been doing what this did using viewfield http://drupal.org/project/viewfield .

I can get it close to the same effect.... but more of a pain.

Yeah, I've not abandoned this, there are just so many good tools for doing similar things already. I'd really suggest (for those who can wait no longer) that you follow this tutorial:

http://www.lullabot.com/articles/photo-galleries-views-attach

This is very similar to what I ultimately hope to do with the module.

Thanks for pointing to this tutorial, it's a great one! However I see a big difference in the approaches taken by Lullabot guys and Imagefield Galery (you).

The tutorial assumes that each image will be a separate node, thus giving endless possibilities for presenting and managing the pictures within a gallery (using views). However functionality like reorderng the images in a gallery does not come out-of-the-box and frankly I don't know how to do it.

The approach you have taken in Imagefield Gallery is that all images are stored in a multivalue ImageField under the same node. Image reordering functionality comes already implemented as part of ImageField, however the default interface is not very appealing when it comes to managing too many images in a single gallery.

Kirilius,

This is how I've done what your talking about all in one node using the D6 viewfield module: http://simplistechsolutions.com/content/corporate-themes

Here is a screenshot of the node: http://drupal.org/files/gallery_type.jpg

quick tutorial:
I have a content type called 'Design gallerys' (i know its spelled wrong :P ) setup like so: http://drupal.org/files/design_galleries.jpg . NOTE: the field_design_type is used for a different view and not needed for this tutorial.

I have a view called 'Gallery': http://drupal.org/files/gallery_view.jpg

In field_images_view I point to the 'Gallery' view like this: http://drupal.org/files/field_images_view.jpg

EDIT: I should note that I did use imagecache and lightbox to display the images. Also, I hid the images for the cck image field so that only the images would show from the viewfield.

I hope that helps someone out

Thanks that0n3guy,

I've been playing with a similar setup lately. However I like the approach presented in the above tutorial. I especially like the "Add Image" link, which lets you add a single image to the current gallery. With multivalue ImageField, you actually have to "edit" the node in order to add an image. I am talking about a web site where the end users will be submitting content. And I can imagine that it won't look very pretty for them to see the whole "edit" screen in order to add juts one image.

Yeah, their tutorial is pretty good also, it just depends on what your doing.

I've had several uses where I wanted a gallery per node (like what imagefield gallery does). Here is an example: http://aquauto.com/electrolyzers/petercd61/tripple-newb-tube . Users needed to post images on a per device basis. So the gallery is associated with the devices node.

My tutorial basically acts just like imagefield gallery, thats what I thought you where trying to imitate. I think in post #14 you were more or less making a comparison statement, and I thought you were asking for help :). Their method is very good for the non-node associated galleries.
