I have been struggling for days to get an image gallery solution that will work for me and I think that I am just about there. Gallery Formatter is the latest piece of the puzzle. This post is a WIP, so here are a few bare bones details:
http://drupal.org/project/galleryformatter – module
http://drupal.org/node/1086962 – documentation
http://drupal.org/node/1271064 – readme
Overview for my approach
- Custom Content Type for images – one for members of my site one for admins
- Gallery Formatter – for the format at the Content Type level
- ME Alias module for replacement patterns, like Token, uses Token, I believe
- Views/Panels (of course)
- Multiupload – module
- Colorbox – module
- Field Formatter Class mod – Module – Helps define CSS classes at the content level
That’s it for now. I hope to put this to bed today if I can.
