Hi
Im trying to set up my site so that users can create their own gallery. Can anyone suggest a good module for this? Ive tried searching for the answers, but all Ive come up with is modules for version 6 (im running version 5)

thanks in advance

Have you had a look at gallery (http://drupal.org/project/gallery)?

It needs an install of menalto gallery behind it, but other than a slightly fiddly installation it seems to work well.

thanks for the suggestions. I tried gallery 2, but Its too complex for me to set-up ( I dont know how to set up databases) I tried pg gallery, but for some reason when I click the 'add image' button under gallery content nothing happens. It might take me a little longer to get my head around.

I just went through all the pain of per user Gallery set up.

Gallery 2 is good, works with Drupal 5 but if you take over drupal profile pages (like advanced profile) you loose the link to G2 user gallery. Also once your in the embedded G2 pages there are no links back to drupal user profiles. G2 by far has the best tools but it may be to complex for some users. It does not integrate photos as a node so you loose all glimmer of syndicating and counting nodes.

I ended up using something like this

http://drupal.org/node/144725

It uses:

• Drupal 5
• CCK
• Imagefield
• Imagecache
• Views
• Views Bonus Pack
• Custom Pagers
• Thickbox

I made the views available as pages and blocks.
Inserted the blocks into profile pages via view panes via panel page which I got taking over profile.
I got a link 'more' under the "latest photo's" on the profile page which takes viewer to a view page of all that user ID's photo's.

Sorry I can't explain it better. I hunted and picked to get this set up, I'd have to run through the set up again to explain but it's working great as a per user gallery. Only thing users can not make sub folders/galleries.
