My Site to Drupal - Portfolio Issue
Hey Everyone,
I'm pretty keen on getting my site converted to Drupal, and I've been doing pretty good so far... however I am working on getting my portfolio moved over and I'm having some issues...
That's my current portfolio. I've created a custom content type using CCK and I'm trying to set up the view right now to display it properly. The images is where I'm having issues. I can get the thumbnail images to display fine and I know I have the proper paths to my images set up, but I can't get the thumbnail to link to the other. There are 2 images in this case, 1 for thumb, 1 for full size. I've tried "Output this field as a link" but that's wrapping an anchor tag around the whole div with all the thumbnails in it, and setting the link to be http://host/drupal/sites/default/files/img1.jpgsites/default/files/img2.jpg and so on, basically just appending all the paths to the full images to each other and outputting them.
Can anyone help me figure out how to set up this view so that I can link my thumbnails to my images correctly?
Thanks a bunch!

How are you creating your thumbnails? If using the imagecache module, it provides full cck and views integration-- you can select which image size to display both on the "display fields" tab of the content type and in the field settings for the view.

I'm building my thumbnails
I'm building my thumbnails manually, using Photoshop... that's how I've been doing it and feel I have the most control if I do it this way... I have not installed the imagecache module (very new to drupal here :S).

Then you'll probably have to do this by theming your view.
You might want to checkout the imagecache module-- it's really quite good. It's also on it's way to core for d7 and has some pretty nice related modules (i love imagecache_actions).
For an idea of what can be done with imagecache take a look at dman's amazing Vintage Aviator site.

Thanks for the info, but
Thanks for the info, but right now I'm not so much concerned about the theming as much as I just want to have it set up so when I click the thumbnail I am linked to the full size image, right now I cannot do that, and it doesn't even seem possible using Views... I am unsure of how these modules may help me do that as I've enabled them and there are no differences in my views...

That is theming (the field). There's a LOT that can be done within the views2 UI, but not everything. So, if you can't get your desired output via the UI, and you don't want to use imagecache, then you're left with theming the view or in this particular case, one field in the view.
