I'm trying to make a view of the image fields (ImageField module) of a particular content type. I'm using this with Views Rotator module to make a really simple image rotator.

In Views 2 if I choose row style "node" I can see my nodes with the image, but if I change it to "field" and try to add the custom image field I've created called "field_front_image_rotator" it does not appear on the list. All I see are things like "Image: Image" or "Image attach: Attached images". I've tried some of these but nothing comes up. This was really easy to do in Views 1 so I'm a bit frustrated.

Any advice?

hi mjlF95,
choosing node will display the fields as defined in the content type. So if you have the view set to show node teasers and you set up the content type to show images in the teaser, you'll get images in your view.

To get them to show up as fields, you have to specifically add them. Hit the plus sign beside "Fields" and under content, you'll find your custom fields. It seems like you named your field "Image", so you would select "Content:Image" and choose your settings. At teh bottom of the settings is where you choose what format you'll use, probably just the image in this case...

does that help?

Yes that helped a ton. I didn't understand that I'd be looking for the custom field under "content". I assumed it would be under "image" and that confused me. I found the field under content and selected it and it shows up fine now. Thanks a lot!
