Support for Drupal 7 is ending on 5 January 2025—it’s time to migrate to Drupal 10! Learn about the many benefits of Drupal 10 and find migration tools in our resource center.This is the perfect module that im looking for. What i want to be able to do is let the user setup multiple galleries. This is my plan:
User can create a 'Gallery', and it is assiciated with node types: video, image, audio. Which i have been able to do with no problem.
User can also create another gallery called say 'stuff' seperate from the above for sorting things like blogs and podcasts.
I tried adding the node reference cck type like the cck_gallery is setup but obviously doesnt work. the select list shows up but the 'stuff' created doesnt show up. I duplicated the module folder and replaced all instances of 'gallery' with 'voice' and all instances of 'cck_image' with 'cck_voice' and that seems to work so far to have to different galleries. But im susre there a more fluid way to do this. Which would be awesome

greg.harveyHi,
Thanks for trying the module. I do want, eventually, to extend this module to cover more than just images "out of the box" - and I like your concept of being able to pick from the available list of content types, rather than being restricted to the pre-defined types.
What you want to do should be achievable just by adding the same nodereference field to any content you want to include and altering the gallery view to include the additional content types. I'll have a think about this anyway... =)

luckysmack CreditAttribution: luckysmack commentedAwesome. I tried adding a nodereference to another node type and it does work but when i create a 'voice' those created galleries dont show up in say a /node/add/blog unless its the same gallery i use from the image type
As a note i am using the term voice just for now as its a term/phrase im going to be using on my site. But i can only seem to get one set of galleries working. Cant get two different lists setup. but then again im still just now learning to use nodereference (already not knowing how i never used this great module before) so i might not have just figured it out yet.
I dont know a lot about develpoing yet and am just learning php. I know how to patch a file but not make a patch. But since i am looking for this kind of feature, if you make any patches to help with this i will be glad to help test them.

greg.harveyAnother one intended for 6.x-3.x, feature request from the CCK Gallery queue. Being able to specify which content types are galleries and which are contents (think OG-style content type options). Food for thought...?

justintime CreditAttribution: justintime commentedWell, if all you're looking to do is to organize content types, then Node Hierarchy will do just that. Currently, Node Gallery is focused on images only - while supporting node types other than images (movies, audio, etc) is easy, it's the next step that's hard. How do you show a thumbnail of a movie next to a thumbnail of an image next to an icon with a play button for a mp3?
I'm all for it, but I know I don't have the time to write code for it. Perhaps D7 + the media module will make this easier - I'll postpone it for a look when we start that branch.

justintime CreditAttribution: justintime commentedThe effort required to handle virtually any type of content would just be too huge, and we're behind on NG3 as it is. I'd love to have it, but just can't find the time/willpower to take it on.
