Hi,

I am a newbie trying to create an image gallery using the views module. I have created a block that contains a grid of thumbnails in a sidebar region of a page and would like to be able to link these thumbnails to a view that contains a larger version of the same image that will print on the main content area of the same page. I have set up thumb and large versions of the images with Imagecache and I see how I can easily link the thumb images in the block to their respective nodes but I am totally in the dark as to how I can link the thumbs to the larger version of themselves and have the larger version print in the main content area of the same page.

I would appreciate any insight into how to do this... Is this something that can be done with views or do I have to resort to an image gallery type module to accomplish this?

Thanks for any advice!

In general you would use the 'rewrite the output of this field' feature, check the box to make the field into a link, and set up the URL appropriately. You can use the replacement tokens to get the right data through, and if you need data that is not visible, add fields, move them before the field you need ot rewrite, and set them to exclude.f
