Hopefully I can explain this properly.
I currently have two content types: image and page, and they are set up just like they would in a default install of Drupal and those associated modules. What I need is a way to create a third content type that is basically another image type, but with some tweaks. I would like for some of my image galleries to show up in the first image type, and the rest to show up in the second.
I have tried installing a couple of different galleries - AcidFree and shazam. The former mostly accomplishes what I need, but is going to be a nightmare to format. The latter was a bust.
I have also tried installing flexinode and CCK. I was having moderate success with flexinode until I realized that the images I was uploading weren't actually going into their respective galleries (I created categories, and they show, but the images are just basically attachments to the individual node). When I tried to add a "image gallery" option to the new content type, I get an error, and doing some research, it seems that 1. this is a common error, and 2. it isn't going to be fixed because flexinode seems to have been abandonded. And CCK didn't have the image functionality that I needed.
Has anyone ever needed to do anything like this, and can maybe help me out? I have a feeling that I am missing something obvious, but I am fairly new to Drupal, so I am not sure what it would be. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
