I want to display the galleries in a grid. I imported the code in views to display the galleries in tables, which I found in the handbook here http://drupal.org/node/544748. Then I changed the Table style to Grid. It seemed to work fine, but then I noticed a duplicate of the gallery shows up for each image in that gallery. How can I make each gallery display only once?

Title: Gallery duplicates » Gallery duplicates due to views distinct not working

Many of us have used the code without any issue....
This is an issue with distinct setting in views not working.
I do not know the fix for the views problem.. I am watching this for any news.

This is a post at views:

I have one possible shot in the dark... just a maybe from Rik..
Did you "select" or "choose" a cover image for each gallery, or are they just "default selections" from the gallery module..?

@Toxid, what version of views are you using..?

Thanks for replying.
I'm using views-6.x-2.7, and I have chosen a cover image for the gallery. I've read those threads but found nothing helpful.

upgrade your views to to the newest version 6.x-3.0-alpha1
That should fix your issue..

It has fixed the other similar node_gallery views issue here:

Hi,

I had the same problem as you and solved it by updating to the newest version of views (6.x-3.0-alpha1). Seem like views-6.x-2.7 ignores the distinct function.

That fixed the problem! Thanks! I thought I should avoid the alpha version to be on the safe side, turns out it was the other way around.

@Toxid, can you give us details about what you did so we can help others with this.
Which version of views are you using, or what fixed the problem..?

He updated his Views module to 6.x-3.0-alpha1.

thanks Rik, wanted to be sure so I don't mislead people and have a solid answer when it comes up.. It really discourages people when the answer is 'maybe'.

I found out that project/content_access breaks the distinct function in views 6.x-2.7. Uninstall the module and the distinct view works again in 6.x-2.7.

further testing shows views 6.x-2.7 distinct not working with either project/content_access or node_gallery access installed. once removed, views works fine.

This was marked fixed because views 6.x-3.0-alpha1 seemed to fix the problem.

That's right, I updated the Views module to 6.x-3.0-alpha1, and the problem was solved.

It is not fixed because it won't work with views 2.7

That said, I won't fix it because of views 3.
