jQuery Gallery View for CCK multiple imagefield

The aim of this project is to utilize jQuery gallery plugin to implement an image gallery built up from multiple CCK image field. Similar to imagecache module, you can create a number of presets each of which has various settings. CCK formatters are populated for every created preset. Nice thing about this module is that you only need to choose a desired preset/formatter for a multiple CCK image field and you will receive a complete jQuery gallery.

Here is an overview of similar slideshow modules which are also used to create galleries:

CCK Slideshow

No longer maintained. Deprecated in favor of Views Slideshow.

Views Slideshow

Slideshow: VIEW, Slide: NODE.
Dependencies: views.

Registers a 'Slideshow' View type that displays nodes in a jquery slideshow. You can create any content type which may be as complex as you wish (for instance consists of many CCK or other fields). Then you need to create a slideshow view of these nodes. Slideshow view will display node teasers in an autofading slideshow.

This approach is very good if you want a slideshow to display nodes. Each slide is a node teaser which can consist of different information (title, creation date, image/video/etc., description, author, etc.).

CCK Multimage

Slideshow: , Slide: .
Dependencies: content imagefield imagecache.

Slideshow

Slideshow: NODE, Slide: ATTACHED FILE.
Dependencies: upload imagecache.

Registers Slideshow node type. Being a node every Slideshow represents a set of manually flipping images (slides). Site visitor can click NEXT or PREV buttons to go through all slides. There is a patch which adds a new attribute Slideshow type and implements an autofading slideshow. With this patch you can choose a desired type for every Slideshow node. Each slide is an uploadable image. Slideshow module utilizes upload.module to implement a set of uploadable image files.

This approach is good if you have a set of images and you want to organize them in a slideshow. You don't want to implement every image as a node (which is too havy solution). Such slideshows are usually used on the front pages of brochure sites. Such slideshow is not as powerfull as Views Slideshow but is easier to maintain since all images are uploaded on on page. It is recommended to use upload_preview.module which displays every uploaded image inline which makes slideshow maintenance far more easier.
