1&1, Drupal 6, and Gallery2

raksasas - July 21, 2009 - 03:00

Can anyone guide me through this setup? So far my attempts have been "failure". I have been able to get them both running and syncing but just can't get any thumbnails and pictures to show up. I know they are uploading because I find them when I go through the directories.

Regards,
Joe

While I admit up front i'm not answering your question, I recommend you go look into views/cck/imagefield/imagecache to build a gallery.

You'll have far far far more control over it and IMO it'll be cleaner for both you and your users. I hate the interface of Gallery and have migrated away from it.

Would you be able to guide me

Would you be able to guide me through the process? I have not had much luck with CCK.

D/Ling the modules but want to check .

"To import images enmass I used Imagefield Upload which allows me to send all the pictures to an FTP location then the drupal program will iterate through the directory and create an image node (the node created by the CCK above) per each picture"

When you say Imagefield Upload - are you talking Imagefield module? or is Imagefield Upload a stand alone module?

Sorry wrong

On a related note: do you have a way to place images when creating a page/blog entry/etc?

If you mean vs text, so

If you mean vs text, so embedded with the Description field, install any WYSIWYG module (FCKeditor/TinyMCE/etc)
