bay6 commentedCould you post your updated copy of the README here? I am a newbie (with minimal experience with views and the options) trying to install an advanced galleriffic setup and having problems following through the current readme.
As someone who knows very little, I could be your reviewer ;-)
Thanks

Comment #4
bay6 commentedI really want to use galleriffic but I feel like I am way in over my head here and am looking for a recipe where I can change variables. I have gone through the README trying to figure this out but feel that I am spinning my wheels. My notes documenting what I have done are underneath the readme sections - what am I missing?
3) Make a node with one or more imagefield fields.
Make two imagecache presets, one for the thumbnail and one for the main slide image.
[Does this mean create a new content type with one or more imagefield fields?]
[created new content type: galleriffic_gallery, 2 image cache presets: galleriffic_fullsize,
galleriffic_thumb. Does galleriffic take care of the scaling or should we also set the image
sizes at this time?]
+4) Make a view using that node type. Add two fields to the view, selecting the two imagecache presets for
display. THE IMAGEFIELDS MUST USE AN IMAGECACHE PRESET in the field format.
You can use the same image twice with different imagecache presets.
This is my preferred functionality since users only have to upload one image for slide. Though some users
may want to have a thumbnail that is different from the slide.
[Does it matter which format? I have these choices: image? image linked to node? linked to image?
filepath? url?]
Add two fields to the view, selecting the two imagecache presets for display.
A) Field:Galleriffic_fullsize format: galleriffic_fullsize image
B) Field:Galleriffic_thumb format: galleriffic_thumb image
5) Set variables for the view:
+6) Select 'Galleriffic' for the row style. You will select a Title, description, and the two imagefields fields you already defined.
[I combined 5 and 6]
A) Change style to 'Galleriffic'.
B) Style:Galleriffic Gallery
C) Row Style:'Galleriffic'
a)title field
b)description field
c)thumbnail field
d)slide field
[the only choice I am given for these fields is , galleriffic image, galleriffic image. I don't know if this is correct or the result of doing something incorrectly in a previous step]
7) You should be done. You can make a page or attach the gallery to a node. The imagefield can accept multiple arguments so you could use this as a gallery of images uploaded to a single node.
[I should be done, but I am just starting. I try create to new content type:galleriffic gallery and it only offers me the option of uploading a single image. Any help with with step would be appreciated ]
