Gallery-Image Content Type Settings

Notes about this content type: Node gallery uses the gallery content type to add, edit and display images. However, the images are nodes using the gallery_image content type(which is hidden from the user). For this reason, the content type Description is not used or visible. The content type Name and Type is used internally by the gallery relationship setting.

Taxonomy and other fields can be added to the Gallery-Image content type which will show on the manage images page within node gallery.
Reminder: After fields and/or taxonomy are added to the Gallery-Image content type, these have to enabled in the node_gallery configuration settings before they will display.
Goto: (Administer > Site configuration > Node gallery > List)
system path: admin/settings/node_gallery/list
To the right of the gallery, under 'operations' click 'Edit'. When the page loads, click 'Next' at the bottom. On the second screen, in the 'Fields' subsection check mark the new fields and 'Submit' the settings. Now the new fields will show on the 'manage images' page of your galleries.

Submission form settings will effect node gallery

Other settings that effect the image pages are comments, fivestar, xmlsitemap, workflow and others depending on modules installed.
