Fast gallery creation in Drupal 6 (with bulk upload of images)

On Drupal.ru once again raised the question of creating a gallery of "little blood" and most importantly, quickly. No claim to originality, but many are still asking. In general, this is the solution that came out.

We install drupal , download the following modules:
cck , filefield , drupal.org/project/imagefield , image_fupload (read readme !), lightbox2 , Pathauto , Token , Transliteration

Include:
all in CCK, except user reference, node reference, filefield meta
path
pathauto
token
imagecache
imageapi
imagefield
filefield
image fupload (cck)
lightbox2
transliteration
')
Making a couple of ImageCache presets
images150x150 (scale and crop) and image800x600 (scale)

Create a new type of material Gallery

Go to field management, create a field
Image gallery | gallery_single | file | image

In the field settings, change the Path settings
gallery / pics / [site-date-dd] - [site-date-mm] - [site-date-yy] / [user-id]
In global settings set required, number 1

Make another field:
Pile of images | gallery_pics | file | image_fupload

In the field settings, change the Path settings
gallery / pics / [site-date-dd] - [site-date-mm] - [site-date-yy] / [user-id]

In global settings we put required, count unlimited
Enable alt text settings and title text settings

Go to the display field

Image gallery | hidden | image150x150 image linked to node | hidden
Image gallery | hidden | hidden | lightbox2: image150x150-> image800x600
Save, type of material is ready

Go to the setting of synonyms. For the type of material "Gallery" set the following value: gallery / [title-raw]

Open the css of our topic and append to the end:
.field-field-gallery-pics .odd, .field-field-gallery-pics .even {width: 150px; height: 150px; float: left; margin: 5px; }

Go to the creation of the material, create a new gallery. We are checking. Do not forget in the permissions to put the right to view-)

Actually a simple gallery is ready. The idea can be developed: add categories, tagging; turn on the Views module and make a bunch of views.

Here is a demo
