We have Drupal running the website for my ski club (what is generally referred to as "corporate" sites in Drupal talk, as opposed to a "community site" since it doesn't have much (yet) in the way of user participation), though this is a non-profit - we are using Drupal as a CMS to make it easier for staff and board members to update posts, and it generally has been working great.
We'd like to add some photo galleries, and after checking out the options it looked as though the basic image module would do the trick (along with image_pub to simplify the uploading of images).
The image module says it has "basic image gallery functionality - for organizing and displaying images in albums". Great! Basic image gallery functionality is what I am looking for! Problem is -- I'm not sure if it is even too basic for my basic needs, or if I just haven't figure out how to configure that functionality.
I can upload many pictures to the site, into the appropriate 'gallery', using Gallery Remote. Once there, however, now what? I knew the pictures were there, and after quite a bit of hunting around in the forums (is this documented?) I found that the list of galleries was available at my test site, www.leslieville.ca/pineridge/?q=image. OK so far. Note that I have not (at least not deliberately) made any changes to how these should be displayed.
Question: I'm not sure what or how determines how the galleries are displayed. If you look at the above, it is a navigational disaster - the "sample" images for each gallery seem to be going off to the right and a little bit below. I'm guessing that using the image_pub module (which is great in terms of usability) might complicate things here? Even if I manage to click on something that opens up the gallery I'm looking for, it is still a mess - I end up with some slices of all the photos in the gallery, with text and/or captions in seemingly random places. I'm guessing this is my fault, something to do with the site theme that has made the image module, for all practical purposes, unsuable. I looked and couldn't figure out what it was that was determining the layout for the galleries - any suggestions as to how to customize this?
