Mutiple Galleries in one page? [#2544146]

Hi all,

I am new to Drupal and found this module to be wonderful and easy to use.

Now, I could create galleries in separate nodes, but can not group them in one page. Is there any way that I can show all the galleries I have created in one page like the following demo?

Any help is so much appreciated.

P.S. I am newbie to drupal and would appreciate a simple and detailed explanation.....

Hi there,

I think you have a few possibilities. Since the Juicebox module itself does not impose any specific media management or information architecture strategies (it's just a display formatter) it's really a question of what other Drupal tools your want to leverage (and learn):

If you want to truly mimic the structure from the example that you referenced, then you'll want to dive into Drupal views. This is a more "complex" way to do things, but the knowledge you gain will be hugely useful and transferable to all kinds of other Drupal projects as views is a very fundamental tool. There are some basic notes in the module documentation on this, as well as a discussion about the setup for that example gallery in the issue queues here: #1976616: Views recipies: Configure View for multiple albums, contextual filters, etc. (specifically comment #8 onward). Note however that these examples assume that you will to store your images in separate nodes (one image per node) as opposed to listing multiple images within one node via the field formatter.
If you want to keep using a setup where each gallery is a node, but just need a way to list those nodes is some form of index, you could also consider using a Drupal view. This would be a much simpler view than the ones discussed in the previous option, as it would only need to list the gallery nodes that you have already created with the field formatter.
If you are looking for an "out-of-the-box" solution, and want to avoid manually creating your own views, etc., you may want to look into the Node Gallery module. That module comes bundled with a bunch of views and other tools that allow you to have a fully-featured multi-gallery setup and editorial workflow up-and-running right away. You can then integrate it with Juicebox with a couple quick steps as outlined in #2154935: Document support for node gallery.

I hope that helps. Let me know what direction you decide to go.
