Drupal Photo Gallery Tutorial [closed]

Question

Can someone point me to a good Drupal Photo Gallery tutorial or book. I am trying to create a photo gallery in a grid view. However, I do not want the titles, etc. to be displayed with the photos. Also, I want to place a border around the photos to make them stand out a bit.

I am not that well versed in PHP so I want the solution to be handled completely with modules and as little coding as possible.

Answer 1

Here's a module that puts together the Views/CCK/Imagefield configuration for a gallery: http://drupal.org/project/views_gallery

What's great about this approach is that you then end up with a cck/views-based gallery and can easily tweak it to anything you want (like not wanting to display titles, having images pop up in a lightbox with a caption, etc.) and reuse the display of images elsewhere easily.

Answer 2

You can build your own photo gallery using Drupal modules like cck, views, imagefield and imagecache. Just search Google or Drupal.org, there are plenty of how-to's out there.

Here is a recent tutorial video: http://learnbythedrop.com/drop/148

Answer 3

If you are interested in learning how to use Drupal, with little/no php coding, you should take a look at Using Drupal by the Lullabot team. It covers a lot of different cases, one of them is how you can build an image gallery like you describe.
