i would like to create an image gallery on my homepage in drupal. Each image will have been uploaded by the user, and, as i understand it, will be saved in some image directory folder in drupal. My question concerns a recent tip i picked up in response to the general debate whether or not it is good to store images as blob in mysql. The tip was to store the filenames of the images in mysql so you can essentially still sort the files. I was wondering whether this would be possible even if the files url is in drupal so to speak. It should be possible shouldn't it? I new to programming you see and want to the images on my homepage to be periodically refreshed according to a define sorting function. I would greatly appreciate any response to this question. Cheers.
You can using content types and views module for create gallery in Drupal 7.
First create new content type with gallery name(admin/structure/types/add).
Then add a image field to gallery content type and save it.
If you want have thumbnail of image you should create a image style. for example create a image style with thumbnail_custom name and add suitable effect(admin/config/media/image-styles/add). You will use of this image style in views in the next step.
Then create a new view with gallery-view name. uncheck create a page, check create a block, enter block title and item per page you want(admin/structure/views/add).
In Filter criteria from block details add content type gallery.
In Fields add Content image that appears in node:gallery and select and select thumbnail_custom for image style option.
Save view.
This view block appears in Blocks section and you select region for it.
If you want this block appears only in the front page, in configuration of this block in the section pages of visibility settings check "Only the listed pages" option and then enter "<front>" phrase in textarea.

In angular2 using aberezkin/ng2-image-upload
I have in my template
<image-upload
[max]="1"
[url]="uploadUrl"
[preview]="true"
[buttonCaption]="'Select Images!'"
[dropBoxMessage]="'Drop your images here!'"
(onFileUploadFinish)="imageUploaded($event)"
(onRemove)="imageRemoved($event)"
(isPending)="disableSendButton($event)"
></image-upload>
This is part of a larger form for an e-commerce site's product capture/edit screen including this image upload
It's all great for a new product and a new image but if I have to edit an existing product and thus have the data from the server for that product, including the image, how can I pre-populate image-upload with this image thus allowing a user to keep it or delete it/change it?
Also is there a way to filter file type allowed?
So you want to let user select the image and able to change it befor Uploading
I made a simple example of preview and uploading image I think it will be helpful for you

I wanted to ask if there is a possibility to force Joomla to use full article image if intro image is empty (everywhere where image should be visible).
Is there a setting for this? Is it a feature of a template or Joomla engine itself? Right now I always have to specify both of this images, cause if I specify one only full article image Joomla does not display miniature in many places. If I specify the other one miniature is there but when I enter article it is missing.
I always end up having to specify the same image twice. Is there any way around this?
Thanks
UPDATE1:
I ended up overwriting the template for article to display $images->intro_image whenever $images->image_fulltext is not available.
This solves my problems yet one joomla user tells me she is sure that they were able to do that before without any modifications in the template. So now I'm just wondering if there is a setting for this in Joomla Admin so that it does not have to be forced in template code
It turned out that each element of my page except full article used intro_image. So what I did was to copy out the part responsible for showing article into the html folder of my template and just added a php code to use intro image instead of fulltext image (if it is present). You basically need to change $image->fulltext to $image->intro_image in the condition. But remember to keep the original condition as an elseif condition if you want to be able to still use full text image
I've read the various questions regarding this but couldn't not make any any progress. I'm new to Orchard so maybe I'm doing something incorrectly.
The goal is to show a "featured" image for each post in the Blog Home Page (Summary).
The first thing I did was to add a new content type for Image Gallery, following the directions at the link: http://docs.orchardproject.net/Documentation/Creating-an-image-gallery
Then I edited the Blog Post Content Definition, adding the new content type Media Library Picker Field that I created in step 1.
Now on each post there is the ability to Add a new Image.
Now I want that selected image to show up on the Blog Summary view & in the individual Blog Post view.
I followed the direction at the link below, by adding the new element - to the placement info file in my theme.
Image not appearing from a Content Part with a Media Picker Field
Still no luck...what I am missing here???
Thanks for the input
Just add a MediaLibraryPickerField directly to the BlogPost Content Type. That's it.
You don't need anything else (no "Image Gallery Content Type" - that would indeed be another Content Type).
The Display Name for the field can be "Featured Image".
The MediaLibraryPickerField can be configured to not allow multiple content items (allow only one).
placement.info will allow you to decide where you want the field to show, and you already know.
Shape Alternates will allow you to modify the "template", for both Summary and Detail views, if needed.
How can I display a separate image before the title of each section, category and article (image be different)?
I.e. is there a way through admin plugin or some way so that I could render it easily?
I am using Joomla 1.5
Depends on the image. If you mean an icon or small image in front of the saction/category/title then you could do that with CSS and the page class suffix to determine which image displays on which page.
If you mean more like a header image, then you would probably need to do it in a module and assign the module to the page you want to place it in. You'd need a module per image doing it this way.
You could also add the image to the section or category description, then use a template override to place the image where you want it.
On one site we built we have a unique header image on every page. We did it with a module and K2. Again, it depends on what you are trying to do. You would need to give more details to get a specific answer.
I have drupal6,cck,views,imagecache.
category_type gallery contain a CCK node reference to a category_type images
and In this Images there is a cck file (image) field.
I know how to create a view which will display a list of galleries.
BUT question is .. HOW can I display a list of galleries with a THUMBNAIL that is made of first image available inside that gallery.
And I don't want to add a extra field for gallery (in category_type) like "preview pic"
Just want then to be displayed by reference.
Example:
If I create a gallery with one picture inside... I want this picture to be my gallery thumbnail.
If I create a gallery without image, there will be no thumbnail ... or default "notavailable" picture.
IF I create a galleyr with many images / remove them /etc.. wanna make sure that first available picture in gallery is gonna be it's thumbnail.
please help ;)
You might be able to do this in a view, but if you want even your basic gallery node to show an image from one of the child nodes you could do something like this in a file called node-gallery.tpl.php where gallery is the content type machine name:
// load the node reference
if ($child = node_load($node->field_nr_child[0]['nid'])):
// ... and just print the image from that child node
print $child->field_image[0]['view'];
endif;
You could also randomize which child you show or show only the most recent child with some foreach fun. You might want to override where the content is displayed so you have more control over formatting but this should get you started.
You can also check out this great screencast I just found looking for something else. I think it does exactly what you want without the custom code: http://www.lullabot.com/articles/photo-galleries-views-attach
In CCK image field you must set Default Image ("notavailable" picture).
After this you can:
1. theme node as Jeremy Heslop sayd - node theming;
2. if you make views of Gallery by row style="Fields', then click link on Theme:Information, select appropriate theming file, add it to theme folder, and theme one field (for example, Title) changing it to thumbnailed and linked image (taked from referenced "Images");
3. In Views add Relationships, that will connect "Gallery" with "Images", and show 1 image in field.
