Photo Gallery for large number of pictures
Hi Nadine and Nancy,
Thanks for your suggestions and advice, it sure helped!
I uploaded pictures and it looks pretty!
http://rsl.yale.edu/gallery/pictures-morning-and-afternoon-event
only question remaining now is : is there a max of 50 pictures for a juicebox? I thought I uploaded 59, but the juicebox mentions only 50. And I also tried to upload 4 new pictures from another folder and after trying to save them, the site says : “yale sites forum The content on this page has either been modified by another user, or you have already submitted modifications using this form. As a result, your changes cannot be saved”
Would you know what I’m doing wrong overhere?
thanks again!
Stephanie
Hi Kimberley, Josue and Nancy,
Long time no see!
My maternity leave is almost over, so in a few weeks I’ll be bother you again big time! J
I had a question about the Photo Gallery module of Drupal. We organized an event and will have literally hundreds of pictures which we would like to share with the participants. Is this module http://yalesites.yale.edu/book/gallery designed for these numbers? And will the uploading go smoothly for big batches?
Also, I don’t know the size of the pictures yet, but I don’t wish to resize them into the desired smaller size manually, but would like to do this also in one go.
In short ; should we do this via the website (we prefer so!) or would dropbox or something like that, be a wiser choice to this end?
Best regards,
Stephanie
You should be able to upload the images. There is no limit of storage space. I would recommend resizing them prior to uploading them so they are not the 3000+ px image size. You can do a batch resize with Photoshop, although I’m not sure and it’s not something we support. But I’m sure the instructions can be found someone through Google.
Hi Nancy,
Thanks for the quick reply. We are now working on it (http://rsl.yale.edu/gallery/dan-pics) but I still seem to encounter some hickups and I don’t know which options to choose for the idea we have in mind. Could I request an office hour with one of you? I’m in today, or tomorrow, or Thursday?
I checked the lab for tomorrow, but there are no seats available…?
Best!
Stephanie
Dear Stephanie and Nancy,
Shawn recommended downloading the FastStone application to resize and load numerous photos for our gallery. It worked great.
Yrs, Nadine
We resolved the issue using the Juicebox Module to create the layout with thumbnails and a larger image.
