I have a group of directories, in these directories are information on a book I am working on turning into an electronic version. There are others helping with this, and many people check out these files for various reasons. There are sometimes hundreds of pages images in these folders. I want to make Drupal allow users to see these files, but also allow me (and some other users) to change the information related to the files. I also want to have a blog or discussion about each project. It looks like this currently:
scans
Christmas (uber project name folder. Not all projects have an uber project)
ChristmasCarol (project folder name. Some projects are in volumes or issues, so they may be 1, or more folders deeper)
!status.txt (this file contains information on each project which will be replaced by the Drupal system)
images (this contains nice clean scans of the illustrations)
pngs (This contains black and white scans of every page)
raw (this folder may or may not be there. Contains the raw full colour scans)
text (this contains the plain text OCR output for each page)
These files will change depending on the point the project is in the process, but this gives an idea of the complexity I am talking about
So I don't want to have to create a new node for each of these projects (one of my uber projects has about 90 projects attached to it) so my problem is 2 fold. How do I "import" this structure into Drupal? and How do I allow my users to see the associated file directory, and all its contents?
I have drupal installed and running but I can't seem to figure out how to do these things:
1. Automatic global navigation at the top of a page (like drupal.org).
2. Indexes of each category/term so that if a user clicked on the main nav departments he would see a list of departments and within each a list of teachers (like how drupal.org does the index pages for community and handbooks).
i'm pulling my hair out here. over two weeks and i can't figure out a way to do this...
I used flexinode to create a new content type, and everything is fine. i added a few image upload fields, and everything is fine. when i upload the images along with the news post... no thumbnails. everything is original size. i have checked with my service provider and the path i'm using for imagemagick is correct.
