node_gallery 7.x-1.0-unstable1

This is an initial unstable release of Node Gallery for Drupal 7. At this point, the advanced features and integrations with other modules do not work, but the basic mechanics of making a gallery of nodes does work. Code still needs a lot of cleanup, as well. It is not recommended that this be used in production. It should be used for testing and submitting issues and patches.

The module has now been split into two pieces:

• Node Gallery API: All the functional code is in this module, but installing this alone will not set up any content types, views or NG relationship types. You would use this by itself if you wanted to totally customize everything from scratch.
• Node Gallery: This module will install the Gallery and Gallery Item content types, it will set up a default NG relationship type between them, and it will install views similar to those found in the D6 version of this module. This is your out-of-the-box gallery solution. This module depends on NG API module.

Here are the things that are currently working:

• All the back-end admin interfaces except those listed below in the (not working) section.
• Default content types and views with Node Gallery module.
• The front-end admin pages (Manage Items, Sort Items, Upload Items)
• Plupload integration

Additionally, here are some new features of the 7.x version of this module:

• Support for file types other than images: This doesn't work out of the box, but the module depends on File Entity module, which allows you configure a single file field display for various file types. Because I don't want to take sides on which video and audio players are the best, I'm not packaging multi-media galleries out-of-the-box. But, I will post instructions shortly on how to set them up. I have them working on my dev site.
• Support for no file field at all: The module is now agnostic about content in your nodes. It sets up a view mode for "Node Gallery Display" and sets some defaults. (which work for images) However, you are free to reconfigure as you wish. So, if you wanted to have no file field...maybe for a gallery of poetry or something...this is now possible.
• Multiple content types can be used as gallery and gallery item types: This means if you wanted to have a content type "image" and another one for "video", they both could be posted to a single gallery type "gallery". Personally, I think the single type/field and handling display with File Entity is cleaner, but I can imagine use cases where you might want this capability.

Here are the things that I know are currently not working. I would really love to have some help with these.

• jQuery UI: I haven't touched this at all. So, jQuery UI sorting is missing and the back-end admin options for jQuery UI are all non-functional. I am not a major javascript guy, so this one is particular I'd love to have help with.
• Javascript for Manage Image page and Keyboard Shortcuts: I haven't touched these. So, live preview of image rotations doesn't work, though the rotations work on submit. Keyboard shortcuts don't work.
• Stray error messages: There are a few error messages showing up here and there. They do not seem to be causing functional problems, but I'd love to have some help running down the source of them.
• Help text and README.txt: I haven't touched these at all, so they are out of date.
• Upgrade from D6 version: I don't personally have a need for this, as I only have a couple small sites using the D6 version now. I really hope someone will step and take this task on
• OG Integration: I commented most of this functionality out as I doing the upgrade, but I'll go back and get this working soon.
• Actions: This looks pretty simple to update, I just haven't gotten to it. Patches welcome.
