Hello,

I'm a newbie and would like to build a node containing few pictures.
Currently I have a Content type Page using only HTML syntax using Only local images are allowed. tags which produces very simple and poor output.

How can I improve the look to something more nice ?
Any module you'll reckon ?
(Note: also it seems that a lot of modules are still not compatible with Drupal version 6.x)

Thanks for any advice, samples code or howtos.

Bye,
Bruno

There's basically 2 major image handling modules-- http://drupal.org/project/image and http://drupal.org/project/imagefield. Take them for a test drive and see which you like best.

Thanks for attention.

I'll continue with project/image.
Currently, I'm still in learing curve (ie. looking for fine tuning about Image Gallery displays) but definitely it already gives improvement to my (ongoing work) website.

Bruno

Hello,

using Image / Image Gallery howto to modify the displayed fields link to an object ?
Currently I cannot ie. avoid the display of the picture filename with the picture itself.

Should I go with Views ? Or other way ?

Thanks for clue or best practice.
Be,
Bruno

Sorry, I actually don't use image, but i would think you should be able to theme it any way you like as with most things in drupal. You're probably better off checking the module's isssue queue.

Also consider using imagecache (http://drupal.org/project/imagecache) where you can define presets to scale, crop, ... your images automatically.

If you're just trying to nicely add pictures along with text, go get FCKeditor or TinyTinyMCEeditor as WYSIWYG edittors. Use the native drupal file attachment to upload them to your site, and then copy and paste the resulting hyperlinks into the 'add image' buttons of whichever editor you chose

If you want a gallery type thing, then you go to Image or Imagefield.
