Hi Guys,

I am new for Drupal, i have installed the image module with acidfree modue and create a library. The library shows the thumbnails with checkboxes each, i have kept that all in a form with a submit button, when the user submit the form after selecting some images. The values of all these images are sent in database.
I want that there should be a link in menu that will show all the images selected by the user in a form with a submit button.
So how this new page, i should create(either i will create a node,page or what else) to show all these selected images.

Waiting for your response, any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.
Crinch

Not sure exactly what you are asking for here, but the Views module is what most people use to generate a visual representation of a specific data set. I would expect you would be looking to generate a view that filters on node type (Image) and User ID of the currently logged in user ($user->uid)

There is plenty of tutorial and tip information regarding the Views module, the best place to start is the Views project page:

http://drupal.org/project/views

Hope this helps.

Thank you for your attention,

Actually, i just want to know that how can i create a page that has a form with images each image has a checkbox and finally the submit button.

I am using drupal 5 with acidfree and image modules. I have created a gallery that has some thumbnails, on this gallery page i have a link(that will show the next page as i mentioned above).

if still unable to understand, sorry for this.
Thanks for your inerest in this post.

I haven't used any of the photo album modules so I'm not sure what functionality they provide. But it sounds to me like you might have to write your own module for this.

There is information under the 'Handbooks' tab which will get you started.

You might also be able to start by making some modifications to the acidfree module if it almost provides what you are after. Remember to always make changes to a copy of an existing module, and not the module itself.

Failing this, i'd try posting a request at the end of an existing acidfree thread in the forums. If there are already people out there that know about acidfree, you want to put the question directly in front of them.

But in the end, keep trying, what you are asking is certainly possible, just depends on how much effort you are willing to put in :)

Good luck.
