Hi everyone

I am looking for some modules to allow me to add photos (gallery) with description and to add (link) media from utube to display within our pages.

I have looked through the modules, and there are to many to pick from, and there is a lot of unsupported modules (gallery2) as well as hopeless modules.

So I thought I would ask, this should weed out the rubbish and leave me with a reasonably short list of possibilities.

This is a D6 install.

Must be able to be used my a pleb as this is for a model power boat club. Most of the club members are technologically challenged.

I will install and modules and make them function as the website is being hosted on my own server.

I have already looked at gallery2 and spent all day in an attempt at getting it working. Needless to say I deleted it all and started again.

Any comments would be helpfull.

Regards

Fred

images galleries = use the image.module which has within it a image_gallery.module. This gives you a quick out of the box method for uploading images into galleries. For a more dynamic, but more complex method use the views_gallery.module and it's addons.

video is a different animal altogether and depends highly on what exactly you want to do.

want to pull from 3rd party sites like youtube? use the CCK.module addon - emfield.module
want to have users upload from your site, to youtube for conversion and sent back to your site? use the CCK.module addon - video_upload.module

if neither of the two apply, feel free to be more descriptive with reference to how you want your videos to be handed.
