how to create image gallerie in drupal

at Monday, June 01, 2009
Creating image gallery in drupal is pretty simple it needs some downloading modules uploading them into web server module directory enabling them then configuring the modules and at last uploading images into image galleries which was created by you as a taxonomy term. ok now lets get details how to build a successful image galleries using drupal.
first download image module from drupal website and then install it.
install a module is simple just upack it into folder named modules which is found in sites/default folder. Its actually "root folder/sites/default/modules/". If your modules folder doesnot exists then create a modules and put your favourite modules there. it can be in your localhost or it can be your remote host where you take the web hosting for your site.
for image galleries you need a module named image which is available in drupal website. unpack .zip or .tar and put this module into "root folder/sites/default/modules/" folder. Then enable this module by browsing the build module page. this page is also called the modules administration page. If you are in localhost it can be viewed in http://www.example.com/admin/build/modules . find the image modules that you have newly downloaded and try to install it.
you will see with image module you have other features available that is Image Attach,Image Gallery,Image Import,ImageMagick Advanced Options. Turn the everything that i have listed in here. I think you are succesfully installed everything that i have listed in here. ok very good.
we have some configuration at this stage. visit http://localhost/admin/settings/image and here we are we have four options available in here. Things we have in here are Files and sizes, Image attach, Image gallery,Image import. These four things we need to configure in here. ok lets get started.
in files and sizes you will see a default image path , this path actually calls a folder in sites/default/files directory, you need to put the names in here where you want to put your uploaded images. If you want to put your images in images folder create a folder named in files directory and you will have in your text box images folder selected. Then put the maximum file size of your images and then set the resolution of your imges that how you want to view your images that is original thumbnail and preview.
In the image attach tab you can set an image attach option when you create node. In image gallery tab set the values of images how many will be shown in image gallery that you will create after a while. also you can show node information e.g. submitted by user , if you like it click the checkbox and then hit save configuration. In the image import tab you can set the filesystem folder where you will put the images temporarily and then import it into your image gallaries.
thats all the configuration needed for the image and image gallery. Now we need to create our first image gallery for this visit the image galley creation section which is in http://localhost/admin/content/image. Click the add galley tab and you will given a form to create the image gallery. Now when you create your image in http://localhost/node/add/image you will see a section and that wants to know from you that what image gallery that you want to put your imge.
the all images and image gallery can be found at the following url http://localhost/image . see a demo at http://www.arafatcse.com/image ok i hope you enjoyed all the section that i have typed. If you have any any problem you can comment and we will be with your side.
