Hi all,

I am kinda new to drupal. I installed version 6 lately and love it!
I was looking for an image gallery like : http://devkick.com/lab/galleria/
I really love the look and simplisity of this. I downloaded and installed "Galleria".
I uploaded the module, installed imageField and created the galleria type content file.

But now I am stuck! The readme file doesn't say how to create a full working galleria like the url above!
I made a node with the teaser and that works, but that is only 1 image on 1 page!

Does anyone have a good tutorial or explanation on how to do this or what steps to follow.

I would be very greatfull if anyone could help.

Kind regards,

Lightawave

Ahh yes, you need to set the ImageField to be "unlimited" values. It's on the field settings page. That way you can upload more than one image on the node.

Does that help?

Yes... it does!

Thank you very much. That was quick!

But how do you stylize this. How do I style the jCarousel scroller?!
Meaning, how do I make the scroller weighter for instance?

Thanks for the help so far!

I don't understand "scroller weighter"?

But if you want to change the look of the jCarousel, you need to use CSS. ;)

As you can imagine, it's a big topic, and you should really find some good tutorials or a book.

I meant setting the width of the carousel!

And yes, i'm looking for some good tutorials on drupal CSS!

So Mark, Thanks for the help!

BTW. Theunissen sounds dutch, is it?

Check the galleria settings page, increase the number of thumbnails displayed... or try using css... to be honest, I don't use the jCarousel feature so I'm not 100% sure. I can take a closer look next week if you are still having problems.

Actually I'm South African! But my ancestors emigrated from Zelhem in Holland to Natal, South Africa in 1859.... ;)

You can enable jCarousel integration in the settings, which will allow you to scroll through thumbnails. I don't know what you're talking about with the randomisation problem?

Do i have to install any specific plugin or module for the jcarousel integration.

About the randomisation , what i meant was when i click a thumbnail from the list, the list gets refreshed and the ordering gets randomised

Thanks

Mark Theunissen commented

You should install the jCarousel module: http://drupal.org/project/jcarousel

I have never heard or seen of this randomisation behavior, can you provide a link please if the site is live?

Thank you for the information...just one small query..
In my gallerix module i tweaked it so that the thumbnail list is vertical to the right and the image is in the left.. What i wanted to ask was will the jcarousel support vertical scrolling

Sorry cannot post the code as it is still in the development phase that is my local server. And how do i compensate for images of varying width or height.

I downloaded the jcarousel module and enabled it. Now do i have to code all of it or can i apply the plugin by some settings with minimal coding.

Just go to the settings page and enable the jCarousel integration. There is an option for vertical too.

Issue tags: +galleria, +jcarousel

I have a photo gallery that is functional, but the thumbnails have gone awry.

They are not showing in the list as expected - they are going to multiple rows, and there is no way to scroll through the thumbnails. Shouldn't there be another set of arrows on the bottom with the thumbnails to scroll through them?

Also, when I am making changes to the jcarousel in the Galleria settings, they are being completely ignored.

Help?
