Come together with the global Drupal community in Rotterdam, 28 Sept – 1 Oct 2026. Sessions, contribution, connection, and Early Bird savings until 8 June.Rather than just showing the name of the galleries ex: Cars, Animals, Family...would be great if it could show a thumbnail of the latest image in each gallery.
Ex:
Cars [Latest image thumb in "Cars" gallery] - Animals [Latest image thumb in "Animals" gallery] - Family [Latest image thumb in "Family" gallery]
This way you can see a sneak preview of each gallery before you actually go to it. To take it even a step further, it could cycle through the 5 latest images in each gallery when you hover the mouse over the image.
If I had the capability, I would try to help with coding these features, but I really don't know much about php...but I feel these are great features.

greg.harveyOk - I was going to make it so you pick a thumbnail, but I could make it so you *either* pick a thumbnail or it uses the latest. Latest uploaded or latest commented on or uploaded? What do you think?

jjjames commentedYeah that would be awesome! I'm not sure how people feel about that hover and the images cycle like those *cough* adult video websites. But yeah, picking the image OR having it automatically pull the latest is a great option!

greg.harvey#1 is done and will be in the next snapshot.
#2 sounds a bit complicated for now and it also sounds like a theming task. If you want this sort of functionality then you should be able to achieve it with Views theming in template.php and the template itself (copy views-view-list--gallery-list-page.tpl.php to your theme's directory and edit away!) ... Feel free to provide a patch for this if you would like to see it as part of the module, but I won't be building it.

jjjames commentedSweet! Can't wait to try it :) I may have a stab at #2 and if I have any luck I'll post it.
Thanks for your contribution!
