cant get gallery list to show up when creating image

Probably CCK permissions - either disable the permissions module or set them properly under user permissions.

Hello:

I believe I'm seeing one of the above issues - "no users gallleries to choose from" list in the "create content > cck image" page.

I referred other issue and in this issue @ http://drupal.org/node/575680 it was suggested to check:

#. gallery type is enabled in the gallery field of the image type settings
#. have a view assigned in the same view for node selection > gallery_list_nodereferrence

I have got those checked and they are in order. Also the permissions are fine and I'm logged-in as user1 and I still don't see the gallery select list.

Plz help me sort this out as it's holding up the live deployment of cck gallery on my site.

Thanks a ton in advance :-)

I figured why it's not showing up and how to correct this but it looks like a bug and here's why:

This was happening because I had checked the options "Title" & "Galleries (cck)" in the "Content management › CCK Image" content type page. Therefore, these 2 fields were not showing up on the Create Image page.

But then both should show up on the Create Image "next" page once I upload image(s) (I'm using multi-upoload with Fupload), but only the "Title" shows up in the "next" page and the already created galleries (as a list of checkboxes) do not (multiple galleries already exist). Kind of not right behavior I guess but I may be wrong.

So to correct this I un-select ONLY "Galleries (cck)" in "Content management › CCK Image" content type page and save that. Now when on Create Image page, the Checkbox-enabled Gallery list shows up and you can assign the current image(s) to whichever or even multiple galleries. The "Title" can be edited for each single or multi-upload image(s) all at once on the "next" page as it should be. But the behavior of the Gallery list not showing up in the "next" page as well is not correct UI and here's why:

This is very much required in case of using multi-upload with Fupload since logically one may want to assign each of the images (in the multi-upload) to a different gallery(s) in that list. And this is not possible if the Gallery list shows up at the frontpage of the Create Image page, as any gallery(s) you select, ALL of the uploaded images will be assigned to that/those galleries!

My request would be to change this behavior such that the Gallery list (to select from) appears only in the "next" page (after multi-upload) along with all the other editable fields there on a per image basis. The other fields show up ok on a per image basis on this "next" page, but the Gallery list doesn't show up at all. Plz note that I have tested both the checkbox on/off. I have also noted, that if I have the Gllery field setup as "Required", then this messes up the upload if the Gallery list is not on the frontpage (since the image(s) can't be assigned Gallery(s) to belong to) - so this validation check and assignment should be on the "next" page.

If this is corrected, then it streamlines the image upload and edit process @ the time of creation itself using Fupload or not.

One more related issue is altering the display of the Gallery list as Dropbox (Single Select) or Radios instead of Multi-Select Listbox or Checkboxes as it shows now. I know this happens because in the module code for "nodereference" for the select widget it's stated to be multi-value. Where should I update code so that it accepts single value also as an option, in which case we can display a Dropbox (Single Select) or Radios (depending on what we set in the cck Image content type page)?

Thanks again for this brilliant module Greg ... it's the only TRULY multi-purpose and scalable Drupal Gallery solution across the entire Gallery multiverse mess! But yes, it does need a fair bit of getting your hands dirty to make it do exactly what you want. Greg has laid out a very robust groundwork to make anything at all possible with this module. Jut a hint, I have worked this to setup a lot of functionality that NO other gallery is capable of doing all at once and I have checked out a lot many of them!

cheers

Thanks for the detail - punting to a "feature request" against dev. Will take a look when time permits.

Module is now obsolete, no further development will be done. Sorry.
